Django Unchained is a good film, but it's the first QT film without his longtime editor, Sally Menke, and it shows. The rhythm is just off. Diversions that felt natural...

This is a masterful edit of an insufferable movie IMO. The first time I saw the full version of this film in theaters, I hated it. Did the story QT...

I want to live in this alternate reality where Bowie is playing on every speaker! As a lover of both Bowie's music and this particular film in Tarantino's canon, I...

What a treat that was! I've enjoyed every iteration of this so far, both when I saw it in the theater and then again when I got the extended cut,...

I enjoyed this part more than the first, but the way this 2-part edit was conceived, this half was always going to be the more dynamic of the two, since...

There were a lot of things I liked about this edit, but it doesn't 100% work for me. Were I to edit Kill Bill 1 & 2, I'd probably start...

Oh wow; this thing is kind of a miracle! Somehow, the twisted plot of Jackie Brown is condensed into an hour, and it still works. I didn't get lost, but...

There were a lot of ways to tackle a Pulp Fiction 1-hour cut, and this I think this one is my favorite for the same reason the editor picked it:...

Honestly, I've never enjoyed this movie more than this cut. Reservoir Dogs has always played to me as overindulgent, which is something that I suppose can be said about a...

I consider myself a pretty big HP fan, read all the books, own all the movies, but I do consider the film series and book series to be totally separate...

Frankly, I'm stunned. I remember finding the forum thread for this project and thinking "There's no way this is going to work." IMO, movie mashups rarely work as well as...

This is very nearly perfect! I consider the assembly cut the better version of Alien 3, and I LOVE Alien 3. But even that version has its issues with some...

The concept of antinatalism is new to me, but The Tree of Life was not. I found this to be a really enjoyable watch, very interesting and predictably beautiful....

All I was looking for in an edit of the first Superman movie was the removal of two scenes: Lois' spontaneous mid-air poetry and our titular hero's time reversal shenanigans....

Have you seen the theatrical cut of Cloud Atlas? Did you enjoy it? No matter the answers to these questions, this is an edit worth seeking out. I,...

This was a valiant attempt to salvage what is considered by many (including myself) to be a major disappointment from Terry Gilliam's filmography. I like a lot of things...

I like the theatrical cut of Prometheus just fine, but I like this one a whole lot more. Agent 9 has made some fantastic choices on when/how to cut...

Big fan of The Crow, here. When I was a teenager, it was hands-down my favorite movie, so I have seen it many, many times. And this is...

I finally got around to watching this, and WOW! I'm not a huge David Lynch fan; I get it, but it's not usually for me. As such, I...

After watching the previous edit in TM2YC's "Captain Jack Sparrow..." series, the superb "...Heart of Davy Jones," I was very excited to revisit "At World's End" once he'd had a...

So you're interested in a re-worked version of Army of Darkness, and you've come to the review page to find out if all of the changes worked for anybody other...

I couldn't bring myself to watch the two preceding edits in Hal's prequel trilogy, as I dislike the source material to such an extreme degree that it renders evaluation pointless....

Gosh, this was terrific! I never cared much for any of the "Pirates" movies past the first one due to them being over-long, unpleasant to look at, and damn...

Uncanny Antman has done something I never thought possible: gotten me to watch Daredevil again. I have always considered this particular Superhero movie to be an unsalvageable garbage film;...

I didn't think it was possible, but editor TM2YC has created a version of Indy 4 that I actually enjoyed and look forward to watching again. I absolutely hated...

Now this is what I was hoping for the first time around! Menbailee has given us the BSG finale we were hoping for, instead of the ragged end full...

I've always really liked Eyes Wide Shut, even though it is a very long and deliberately paced film. While its length never bothered me, I was fascinated by the...

I don't hate the Matrix sequels, but I've always found them terribly disappointing as a follow-up to the brilliance that was the original film. They are full of great...

This was a mixed bag for me. On the one hand, b3nmitchell has effectively streamlined the film, cutting away much redundancy and improving the character dynamics overall. But...

I had high hopes for this one, but it just didn't do it for me. While it's true (and pretty funny) that cutting all of the Zion scenes really...

This edit is a stunner! Q2 has merged these spiritual cousins beautifully, so that it truly feels as if the two films belong together. The editing is graceful...

(A caveat before I begin: I hate the source material for this edit, so I did not take into account my bias when giving a score for enjoyment.) ...

You know, I've always really liked Event Horizon. It scared the crap out of me the first time I saw it, and I think it's still one of the...

First of all, as far as technical editing goes, I'd say this is flawless. Not once did I feel like this was a film cobbled together after the fact....

TMBTM, I could kiss you flat on the mouth for this! Alien is my favorite movie of all time, and the whole original trilogy means a lot to me, but...
