With seamless cutting so this is a high quality edit.
First of all I have no problem with the original version but reading that this version
cuts out more than an hour of the running time made me curious.
74 minutes is a lot of scenes and is this edit really gonna work was my question?
But yes it works for the most part.
There was some well made flashback scenes in black/white the fills some gaps and that worked really well.
The pace is very high and maybe that's what I felt was a bit off in this edit.
I mean no James Bond film has ever had a running time under 90 minutes and I think this edit could be a few minutes longer.
A little more flesh on the bones.
Bond films has always some travel/social interaction scenes before we get on with the action scenes, but sometimes I felt we just get from one place to another too fast.
The new ending was really well made but it doesn't have the punch of the original which I had no problem with.
So all in all this is a very good alternative version is you want a faster paced version.
Highly recommended!
