Captain America: The Winter Soldier - Defrosted Edition

This was the very first of Bobson's edit I watched back in the day. I loved how much work he put into getting as much material from blu-ray extras and trailers into the film without making it drag.

This is one of my favourite MCU films and this sits on my media server as my preferred version despite owning the 4K blu-ray.

This is one of my favorite MCU movies, and the inclusion of the deleted and extended scenes was masterfully done, and makes me like it that much more. I liked seeing the additional conversations with Black Widow, and the line at the end of the film was a good addition too. Easy 10/10, great work Bobson.

Love this extended version. It's only 3 minutes longer but manages to give some very nice (and much needed) character moments to Nick Fury, Black Widow and Maria Hill. The only issue I had is that the final line is cut off very abruptly. I know its an extended shot from a trailer, so there isn't much more to work with, but it is unfortunately a fairly jarring cut. Additionally, a few of the deleted scenes had some muddy audio. This is otherwise a fantastic extended cut and has become my definitive version for future rewatches!

Id never seen the deleted scenes before and hadnt watched the movie itself in quite some time so I went in blind and tried to see if I could pick out the deleted scenes. They were all seamlessly reintegrated and I couldnt tell where the cuts were. I just noticed the one where Cap's uniform is in the school gym because I knew it wasnt in the movie to begin with. the rest of the deleted scenes are small and quick. After reading about the Sitwell greenscreen scene I have to say it looks great and theres no way I wouldve been able to tell it was a deleted scene. Im glad it was put back in it adds a lot to Maria Hill's character. I just found out there exists a v2 of this edit with updated color grading. excited to see what Bobson is up to next!

There is no question that TM2YC put a lot of work into this and it shows...certainly for me it raise my enjoyment from an 8 (Theatrical) to a 10, though there are a few narrative bbits that still feel off, but that is still up from an 8 (theatrical) to a 9. Others have covered it below, so no point rehasing.

There were segments and passages where the audio had a mudies feel about it. It did not spoil anything per-se but I do wonder if there was an issue on the mixing or conversion ...nevertheless, most won't notice I would imagine.

There is no question that the deleted material does improve the overall narrative, and the work to complete scenes if great, though some still feel not quite over the line...but it worked for me.

Regardless of the nit-piks, I really enjoyed this and it will be my go to version from here...10 Enjoyment and highly recomended.
