I have not been a big fan of this movie in the past. Generally speaking, when it was on tv, I would watch it, have is as background noise, watch it etc etc. In short, when I watched the original, I always knew I was watching a stylized movie made in the 1960s that wasn’t all that great, but filled with “big name stars” to create buzz.
I was reluctant to watch this edit, but it worked well for me.
I definitely liked the inclusion of scenes/material. I hate to sound unoriginal or redundant, but the “bangalore mine scene” is definitely a stand-out scene in this edit.
Until I read RockSavage’s review, I too, thought that Mollo used old newsreel footage in parts of this edit.
This is a great new war movie, not just a simple re-hash of the original.
This is a great example of what these editors are capable of here. The edit goes beyond the simple “cut material/scenes” from an edit. This is a new and highly watchable movie.
