So anyone that knows me knows I'm a huge comic book fan. I grew up with Spider-man being at the top of the list. I was so excited about the Sam Raimi trilogy of Spider-Man movies that came out back in the early 2000's, and really enjoyed the treatment the first two movies received. Needless-to-say, I was the first in line for the series' third installment! There were whispers and hints of Venom being a primary antagonist and the conclusion to the Harry / Goblin arc was finally coming to a head! What I saw was simply atrocious... There was a dance routine, corny campy dialog / one-liners, and worst of all, the Harry / Peter arc was downplayed... So was Venom! And then there was Sandman who (while cool to look at) had no point in the entire film.
So after the movie came to video, I made the decision to re-edit the entire film! I removed the aforementioned points of contention and reorganized the movie to tell a more compelling story and dramatic ending for the series. I also completely removed Sandman, who seemed to have no real reason for inclusion (even though the writers tried to convince us he was Ben's killer). Furthermore, the New Goblin now uses manipulation rather than fear, pitting his wits against Peter & ultimately playing on Peter's jealousy over MJ. This jealousy culminates in attracting the symbiote.

What's left is a better end to the series. I'm not saying it's perfect (and it's my first feature-film editing job, so there may be some rookie mistakes), but I think it works... and works well.
