Dark Knight, The: Remixed by Jorge

April 23, 2009

I finally downloaded the latest DVD version of this and I have to say, speaking not only as a Batman fan but as a movie fan. This is by far the greatest fan-edit I’ve ever seen. Yeah, this took the title of Pulp Fiction: Vince and Butch away for me. I loved it, loved it, loved it. Part of that love, other than the perfect reconstruction of the movie itself, is the DVD. It feels as if you’re watching an actual DVD and not something that was edited by someone out there. (I absolutely cannot wait to see Italian Stallion, Jorge!). Quite simply, this movie is a 10/10 and has earned a spot next to my Batman collection of DVDs rather than my fan-edit collection. It’s that damn good. Congrats, Jorge. This was quite the accomplishment.

The Dark Knight: Remixed is the definitive FanEdit. If there was ever one you needed to see, this one is it.

Well its hard to say much more after these great comments, but I shall try. First I thought that the Dark Knight was a great movie and I agree probably the best in 2008, your version is a touch of genius, how you manage to switch scenes so often seemlessly is amazing, the mixture of BW and colour was also superb. This is truly the Harvey Dent story that never came out of the original due to the Joker. Loved the
scenes from Batman Begins especially the surprise ending. It had me completely enthralled and it was almost like watching a complete new movie. Like the DVD menu especially the Graphic novel in the extras part. For video and audeo 10/10 if I could give it 11/10 I would. Marvelous edit Jorge.

And an incredibly good edit, by the way… Jorge has once again shown himself to be a master of the ancient discipline of fanediting. This edit is a dazzling spectacle of true genius! Yes, GENIUS! And no less than, My Friends! :D

Seriously though, you might think The Dark Knight is so good, it doesn’t need an edit. And you’re right… But, with “The Dark Knight: Remixed”, Jorge provides a whole new experience of this blockbuster masterpiece and has created a nice alternative to set on the shelf right next to your Dark Knight DVD.

Sometimes you’ll feel like revisiting the original…and sometimes you’ll feel like mixing it up with REMIXED!

Jorge had sent me a preview disc that was very close to a final version a short time back. This review (that I wrote at the time minus some other now expired information) is based on this preview version. I am aware however that not much of anything itself was changed in the final edit from the version that I saw:

I will be honest in that I had no idea what to expect. Right off the bat I knew I was in for something good.
when the film starts I did a double take but I knew it was setting things up for how this edit was going to be presented. Jorge's complete re-telling was brilliant. I also loved the use of black and white mixed with color. I do not have a 5.1 setup but the audio was perfectly balanced on my 2.0 down mix. The video quality of course was excellent with no hard cuts to be found

The story was very coherent and even if an individual has never seen the film before, by the time the edit is finished they will understand completely what they just have viewed.

The black and white mixed with color scenes were great, on occasion I was able to see some color that he did not want mixed in, but assuming there was no other way around it. It would happen every now and then with a frame or two (more noticeable when the joker crashes the party scene and you can see the flashes of his regular skin). Very minor and not distracting, but since this is a review, I did notice it

the layer break also was set well. I used pgcedit and img burn to burn my DL discs. It gave the best spot right before the officer riding with Gordon reveals his name and this is the tie-in with his wife at the hospital. It worked well. If it had been one second more that line would have been fucked by the break.

in short this is a completely alternate re-telling of this epic film and it was done extremely well

One of the better fanedits I have ever seen

10 out of 10—
