When it comes to making a fan film or any film for that matter, the typical, smart, rational thing to do is to take into account your resources and work well within your means, and usually this is the best way to turn out a professional product.
DigitilHeart likes to tear that page out of the unwritten rule book of fan-films and dive head first into the kind of ideas that other fan filmmakers would immediately dismiss as unfeasible and Spider-Man 2: Another World is the epitome of that crazy, over-the-top ambition being put to screen without any regard for limits.
The end result may not be entirely consistent but it is incredibly impressive and respectable and there's nothing out there quite like it that can capture the imaginations of potential creators in the same way.
Spider-Man Another World has Spider-Man taken on an interdimensional time-travel adventure to discover the importance of being Spider-Man and overcome his PTSD from the events of the film's predecessor, Spider-Man Lost Cause, in order to defeat the demon that looms over the future of his world, Venom.
What's most impressive is that Spider-Man 2: Another World never really falls short of its ideas and potential and my only real criticism would be that there's honestly too much. There are approximately 15 minutes of the film that could be cut out and I feel the film would be a more streamlined and breezier watch for it. It's mainly in the first half.
Overall though, the film is a tremendous achievement. It's not going to be for everyone but if you can meet the film on its own terms as the fruits of limitless ambition and overlook the seamlines that logically come with that, this is a terrific film.

Going to start off positively here...the production values for this are some of the best in the fan film genre from the visuals to the editing to the stunts, it all feels extremely professional bar a couple of green-screen moments that don't work so well.
Unfortunately that sheer talent just isn't put to the best use here though as this grimdark, dreary version of Spidey's formative days just doesn't represent Spider-man. Peter Parker's bitter streak in the very early Ditko days is dialed up to a flanderising level which leads Peter to be straight up outright unlikeable and the film takes all of this far more seriously than any audience member is likely to.
Spider-man can feature in dark stories and light stories but this all round just loses the most important aspects of the character and his story.
It does however display some ridiculously good filmmaking potential.

Spider-man Lost Cause is a homemade Spider-man film which is immediately gives it a little extra novelty of it's own. No this film is not a professionally made motion picture and nor should it be treated as such. It is instead the charming subtotal of some serious genuine efforts.
It tries to tick all of the boxes of what makes a Spider-man film, and doesn't shy away from the challenges of the genuine Spidey blockbusters, be it webswinging in the city or taking on enemies and while the outcome certainly doesn't replicate what the big budget blockbusters are capable of, it represents it in it's own very special way.
Story-wise, it's a retelling of Ultimate Spider-man's origin story but set in Britain, which does give this film more of it's own identity from the appearance of the film to Spidey's banter.
The main standout for this film is the score, that is the one thing in the film that would have me convinced that it's professional and it really elevates the film to another level.
All in all if you're fascinated by filmmaking or just want another Spidey adventure, this is a great experience that proves that amateur filmmakers really can make a Spider-man film.
