Brief Synopsis:
This is a re-envisioning and amalgamation of parts of the first two Bourne Movies to create a Jason Bourne extravaganza with twice the intensity and paranoia.
Intention:
This is now a long POV of Jason Bourne and we never leave him.

Note: This FanEdit is a compliment to the first two Bourne Movies and in no way is an attempt to improve or correct. This FanEdit is rather a salute to all those involved in the making of those first two Bourne Movies. Also The Bourne Redemption has it’s own narrative so try and forget the original Movies story-lines if at all possible while watching this, as they bare no relation to this FanEdit.

Saw this last night, and I really loved it. The video quality wasn’t perfect, and I think there even might have been a couple of sync issues, but that didn’t bother me all that much (I might have watched the V1, I’m not sure as this has been on my “watchlist” for long time). The only moment during the parts from the first film I felt that the thread was kinda lost was how they ended up in the country house. But that was all explained moments later when Marie’s friend turned up. The whole idea of Bourne trying to piece together who he is/was works better in this FE I think than the actual movies, as he doesn’t get sidetracked, and is very focused – like you’d expect someone with his training to work. Very clever way how Marie exit’s the story as well.

At first, I missed the 5.1 soundtrack, but perhaps stereo is more fitting to the whole claustrophobic mood of the edit.

Recommended. 4/5

This is a review of version 1 which I saw last year, I don’t know how V2 might have improved or lessened my enjoyment.

I feel that this edit requires a particular mindset. When I first started watching it, say for the first 30 minutes, I wasn’t really liking it. For me it was just feeling like a collection of cool clips from the Bourne movies. Kind of like watching your favorite action scenes on YouTube. Then I forced myself to pause the movie, and take the time to think about what you Edit actually meant.

See, I needed to really sit and force myself to forget everything I already knew about the plot of the original movies. This wasn’t a collection of clips, because those other scenes that I remembered from the movies, never happened. I had been viewing the movie all wrong.

With my new perspective of considering only the footage you were presenting, I started to enjoy the experience a lot more. It wasn’t easy to view it this way, and I couldn’t help but wish that I could truly watch it fresh, and truly forgot everything I knew… but by the end I was well impressed by your effort.

The video quality was bad for a DL, which I feel I have wasted for this version. The fanedit did not convince me, it was – weird.
