Consider releasing a directors cut version of “The Amazing Spider-Man 2” to the general public on Blue-Ray and DVD.

Unfortunately, the film is getting a lot of hate from critics worldwide, as we can see from the Rotten Tomatoes Score.

In particular, we have seen complaints commonly arise, such as a “disjointed narrative” and a “lack of character development”.

I think, as polarising as the film is, we can all agree as fans that a directors cut of the film would be incredibly benificial to the franchise.

Some of the scenes rumoured to be in rough cuts but left out in the the final cut shown in cinemas everywhere are;

• An attack on Oscorp by the Green Goblin
• An alternate scene in which a tumultuous scene is portrayed differently
• Extended Times Square and Clocktower scenes
• Another Peter/Gwen scene.
• A scene with Max and his Mother
• A possible espionage plotline in regards to Oscorp.
• Mary Jane scenes
• Norman Osborn “Head Scene”

I think it is clear, as fans of the spider-man franchise, that we should see what the ultimate vision of the director was. I think it is important that we can see the directors cut of the film, regardless of how long it is, so we can properly appreciate the huge amount of effort that went into the film. I think as fans, we could really appreciate this! The audience still enjoyed the film, as evidenced by the audience rating on Rotten Tomatoes, but I think the film has the potential to be even greater in a directors cut.

The scenes I mentioned have been hinted at through interviews with Marc Webb. Other scenes mentioned were in a rough cut shown to a select few in March of this year. It is clear these scenes are not only filmed, but done over with CGI, as evidenced by the viewers of the rough cut of the film. Whilst it isn’t perfect, there is no reason why this could not work in a directors cut.

I must add that I feel that some of these scenes would tie up plot holes, and serve as transition scenes in order to make the tone feel more natural throughout the movie, an extra max scene would help the audience sympathise with him more, and an extra goblin scene would make his appearance seem a little less rushed.

Support the idea? Please share this to spiderman fans everywhere, and especially Marc Webb. He is quite active on twitter, so I strongly believe a large enough push from the Spider-Man fanbase could convince him to respond to this.
