I found the cross-cutting to be a little frantic near the end, but this is an undeniably fun edit. You can’t go wrong checking this one out.

Great piece of editing Jorge. I always enjoy watching your little experiments. This was extremely entertaining. However the story felt thin at times, and I saw opportunity to make this a more cohesive story. Most of these films that you utilized, I find to be complete crap, yet you turned it into something enjoyable. thanks. I’ll give this one a 4 out of 5. The video and audio were nice, and use of cuts and interesting edits were great. The story could have been improved slightly. Cant wait to see your next edit!!

I really liked this one, and even though I don’t watch “24″, that didn’t matter. I got the references to the series. I decided that I would watch this with my mother, who also likes all the movies used in the making of this one. This edit was fun and tied together well in the end. (I think it was Silver Surfer saying that everyone needs to make a choice that yielded the first “aha!” moment.) The only part I found odd were the Hulk scenes. I didn’t get the point of them being there, to be honest, and would love to know what the editor’s reasons were to put them in. But that’s a small niggle in an otherwise excellent project.

As my mother said at the end of our viewing, “well done, Jorge.”

I know, KBM, that you know about my passion for this project. I downloaded it a week ago (or so) and watched it. Fifty minutes later, I didn’t want it to end. This is one of the most brilliant ideas I’ve seen. The best part of it is, because it’s Marvel, and they use real locations (not like Metropolis or Gotham or whatever), it is possible for things to be occurring in the same city and people never run into one another.

Please, oh please, bring this story full circle!

And as for a true fan-edit classing needing to have a narrative… Eh, I say it’s all in the eye of the beholder.

Jorge’s work is some of the strongest, he takes on projects that usually take the most time and have the least amount of “good” material, and he makes masterpieces. This is a 5 out of 5 edit for me.

First of all: wow!

Action filled Marvel packed suspense for 50 minutes. Thank you

Editing was superb, especially sound. It flowed so well, and the music is there, epic and evident in many scenes that shift characters, and yet there is no disturbance. Truly awesome editing.

I got the feeling that we were supposed to take this as an episode somewhere near the end of a season (perhaps even the last episode?), a season that we haven’t watched before. If I roll with that it’s all good. But the difficulty to follow what’s happening (as it seems to require one to have seen earlier episodes (or the movies then)) drops this just short of 5 for me, along with the fact that there doesn’t seem to be any interaction at all between the different story arcs (Im asking a lot!).

Editing: 5
Plot/story: 3 (as it is by itself, the accomplishment and planning of this must have been something extra, and the work on that is probably worth another 5!)

Great edit!

4 out of 5!
