*SPOILERS*
wow. ok so that worked A LOT better than i expected. i seem to be a sucker for narration removal – it just rarely seems necessary. what i DID like was the faster pace here with “azazel” in addition to changing some pretty huge story elements. jumping forward to hobbes and keeping with him the whole movie was a great idea. it seems like a lot of setup shots were removed, also, but i could just be crazy (likely). the ending works VERY well. i think the way in which you handle jonesy (azazel) is perfect and removing much of the interior cabin scenes helped speed this movie along to a great (NEW!) conclusion.
i have ONE critique: the ending was a bit odd for me. is that a heartbeat? why would a non-physical being have a heartbeat? also, if we just STAY with azazel a bit longer as “he” dies off i think this will help with a quick cut to the credits.
still, everything is a 5/5 for me great job!
