Review Detail

I loved the original film so I had to check out this version by a well known fan editor. Overall this is a great edit. It was very interesting to see a version of the film closer to what the director originally intended. The only MINOR issue I had w/ this edit is the audio for the new narration feels a tiny bit awkward but at the same time I don't know how Bobson could have done it any better. I feel bad taking one point off but I'm trying to adhere to the new review policy and not hand out perfect 10's for everything. If you love the original film this is essential viewing. For me it doesn't quite replace the original going forward, which is always what I'm hoping for, but it sure makes for an interesting alternate cut of the film.

Bobson also has a very cool 25 minute introduction/commentary podcast available to listen to before watching that I would also recommend. For many people this will surely become their go-to version of American History X. Definitely check it out.
