This is a very solid edit of Return of the Jedi and certainly feels more streamlined than the original movie. There are a few choices that I wouldn't have made...

I was intrigued by the approach of this edit, shifting a subplot from The Amazing Spider-Man 2 to the first film in the series (because god knows that film didn't...

In general, I do think this edit is an improvement over the theatrical cut, but unfortunately I don't think it's enough to make this movie work. The characterization of Harry...

While many editors try to turn the Hobbit trilogy into one or two movies, this edit makes the case that these movies can shine individually. Indeed, by trimming some of...

The current king of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith edits. It's not perfect: both Hal9000 and Kerr have executed individual moments and scenes better, but this is...
