Brief Synopsis:
Super powered Nazis from a parallel world invade!
What is their ultimate goal and can our Arrowverse Heroes stop them?!?!
Intention:
Crisis on Earth-X is my favourite Arrowverse crossover and in my opinion, the best executed.
I pretty much love it in it's original form.

But I wanted to try to make a slightly more streamlined version that dialed back some of the Olicity Drama that I know makes many fans cringe.

This was so well done! It flowed so well until the 3rd act; then the edits became more apparent. Once Marty dies, it starts to feel like Tv again. I dont know if you tried to make Sarahs entrance fit w/o the fade or just scrapped everyone's "im sad" scene and just fade in on Jefferson telling the family but either of those would help keep it flowing i feel. I would try to cut some of the cringe fight scenes; they also make it feel like Tv again. Overall, this was amazing to rewatch; you did a fantastic job and I look forward to your other edits!!!

This flowed so well, with even better material to work with than Invasion, It's been some time since I watched the event in full and there never was a moment were I felt something was missing. It's also rather lucky that for the most part, Earth X flows well from Invasion with the Dominator cameo and the core cast mostly being the same.

Only a couple of nitpicks, I'll agree with the other reviewer that the fade to black during a pivotal scene was very TV, but I get why it's still there. Unlike Invasion, I feel underwhelment by the opening credits, with the closing credits plus mid-credtits sequence being pretty well made.

This has a great video/audio quality and makes for probably the best version of the best of the Arrowverse crossover. This is not to be missed for fans.

This was cross over was, I feel the arrowverse started hitting it's stride. The original cross over was very good though tons of filler and way to much focus on Oliver/Felicity that could have been kept within the confines of arrow itself. This edit really trims that down and makes for a nice, concise story. Pacing was excellent, all the scenes flowed well together. Another excellent edit from BionicBob.

Bionic Bob fanedits = fun. Plain and simple. Whenever I settle down to watch an edit by BB, I know I'm in for a hell of a ride. Unsurprisingly, Crisis On Earth X is no exception to this.

Initially I was big fan of DC's TV shows. I religiously followed Smallville from start to end, and was quickly hooked on Arrow when it came out. Same for The Flash. However, things in your life change, and the sheer ability to keep up with various seasons of what would become to be known as the "Arrowverse" was too much for my wife and I. So, we bowed out. In many ways I regret it, as there's a lot in the various shows that I love, but hey, at least with fanedits like this I can occasionally dip my superhero toe back into the world of the Arrowverse.
With this edit of Crisis on Earth X, there are some characters who appear that I just wasn't familiar with - mainly from DC's Legends series - but the sheer rollercoaster ride which Bob secures you on doesn't give you much time to dwell on such things, and there's no doubt in my mind that the story works perfectly well for us more casual fans. It also doesn't outstay it's welcome. At 145 minutes it's still lengthy I suppose, but it never feels like this. There's so much going on that I was definitely along for the ride and in many ways I didn't want to get off.

From what I'm told, many fans have problems with the whole Felicity and Oliver relationship, primarily in the way Felicity acts towards Oliver, but whilst I am aware of some of this when watching some of Arrow, Bob reels this in nicely in Crisis on Earth X. Their relationship and the mirroring with Barry's and Iris' marriage coms across very well I thought and both couples come out very well in this edit.

I loved all the reverse versions of characters from the parallel nazi world - all of them really got into the roles, and makes for some very interesting face offs with their counterparts as the story unfolds. However, the star of the show for me is Victor Garber as Martin Stein/Firestorm. His character arc here is very emotional and shows just how good an actor Garber is.

Special mention goes to the action scenes here too. Considering these are TV productions, some of the staging and photography of the fight scenes are quite something to behold. Creative, interesting and very exciting without resorting to loads of annoying shaky cam or overly quick cuts.

In terms of the edit, this near perfect. Picture looks great, no bad audio cuts, and if I was really nit picking I would just say that I didn't like one of the fade to blacks near the end, but only because it reminded me I was watching a TV Series that was going to go to a commerical break - I kinda liked the illusion of this being a feature film I suppose. But, I realise why Bob did it, and it does make sense in that way.

All in all though, a terrific edit and I look forward to watching more Crisis edits from BB!!

What a ride! This was incredibly fun! I can see now why the Arrowverse manages to gather so many fans around the world. We can sense all the respect Greg Berlantini and his teams have for the DC Universe, and the actors look to care about their roles. The story is seamless, the pacing is fast, the cuts are unnoticeable and the narrative is straight to the point if like me the jarring soap-opera of TV Network shows is a turn-off, this edit is for you.
