Emmet Otter and his ma sure have had a rough life. Not just in Frogtown Hollow, but on disc: some dvd's have cropped widescreen, many releases have different runtimes (most...
This Bond is less silly, which is a clear improvement. Narrative decisions are logical and consistent. Video editing is seamless except for the cut when...
What an improvement! Seamless trims, excellent sound (high-bitrate stereo) and picture quality. I didn't miss any of the cut bits. In this edit, shorter is clearly better. ...
The short of it: This replaces the theatrical version. Go, watch and enjoy! Technically excellent. Coherent narrative. Clear character development. There...
After the first WW movie, this sequel was disappointing. Weak story, so much fluff, unconvincing SFX, not utilizing the opportunity of having fun with 1980's music (though I hadn't realized...
Nostromo777 makes a good Bond film better! The narrative is improved with a tighter plot. The music is remarkably improved by replacing Conti's (badly dated)...
Not much to add to the many reviews: - The main edit effort works, firing once instead of twice. It doesn't feel like anything is...
Another excellent LS entry in the 007 franchise. A modest edit which trims / replaces the most egregious bits. It was an interesting experience to watch this while I'm finishing...
That Thing You Do was a fun movie when the Theatrical Cut hit cinemas in 1996. The subsequent Extended Cut. wasn't perfect but did improve the experience. Now DigModiFicaTion gives...
Dune is a great book. Herbert really nailed it (the later books in the series not so much). Dune is a great movie. Lynch got the world building...
Fascinating, Captain. It appears that our first reunion on the big screen was more interesting than the original Starlogs suggested. TM2YC has imperceptibly yet compellingly improved the narrative of our...
I've had a love/hate relationship with this film. It's not the best Bond, but it's the only one I owned on Laserdisc back in the day so I watched it...
I finally got around to watching this side-by-side with the original version. Without direct comparison, I wasn't able to tell what was edited. @"dkerin" 's editing is just that good!...
Well, color me impressed: after HAL9000's tour-de-force on the Prequels (they are my go-to versions), he gets closer to my ideal of A New Hope than any other version I've...
This edit outshines the original on multiple levels! Don't let the "light trimming" description fool you: the trims may be small, but many. Comparing to the original release, this edit...
This is a joyous surprise. Adding the deleted scenes makes this a better film (significantly so for character development and pacing). The seemingly minor changes on top of that lift...
A minimal review for a minimal edit: Bobson improves the film. This edit is better than either 2.0 or 2.1. But seriously, the official Spider-Man 2.1 improved...
If you have not seen Babylon 5, this will confuse you. If you have seen Babylon 5, 'I, Zathras' will initially feel like you're in The Lodge of Twin Peaks....
Problem Eliminator improves on the original. Some edits create big improvements (e.g. the shower on the boat is now enjoyable for the first time), some small. Some edits don't individually...
This is one of those edits that make you go "Well of course someone should make this edit." Many fans, myself included, enjoy the Theatrical Cut more than the Extended...
This is a great Babylon 5 double episode! The break from Part 1 to Part 2 is so perfect that it looks like JMS intended this as a double episode...
Sinbad delivers on his promise! More suspense and more urgency, without over-using the split-screen or the clock. They're not gimmicks, they really enhance the experience. The film even could have...
Having watched Ancient Lore with the proverbial fine-tooth comb, I am happy to confirm that this Phantom Menace edit has the most interesting, balanced narrative and pacing that I've seen!...
I love that new movies are made in the Star Wars universe, though they're not as magical for me as the original trilogy that I grew up with. While...
The highlight of this Indy edit has to be the mesmerizing glow of its Nixie tube clock. This tiny detail shows 15MaF's eye for detail, skill, and love for the...
Did you fall in love with Middle Earth as a kid, when your parents read Tolkien to you at bedtime? This edit will make you feel like that kid again!...
As a fellow BttF fan, I'm very familiar with the story. The Greater Scott Edition is a tremendously enjoyable ride for everyone who's seen the trilogy before. Is the...
Rogue One is a solid, enjoyable Star Wars movie, and TM2YC is an outstanding editor. So my expectations were high going in. Both the movie and editor happily surprised me:...
"Great Scott! I remember this! This is how people used to watch TV. There would be a cliffhanger and you'd wait a week to find out what happened. And...
Star Wars: The Clone Wars tells a universal story of war between good and evil, and in that turmoil the daunting challenge to not become that-which-you-fight in Anakin's efforts to...

Ditko and Romita fans rejoice: here is your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man! Like other high-school kids, Peter has insecurities, a worried aunt, awkward social dynamics, an infectious youthful exuberance, and a...
This is the go-to version of Cap's Winter Soldier adventure. Video editing is seamless for transitions and quality matching (on a 106" projection). Audio editing is seamless (on a 2.1...
This edit improves on the theatrical release. Here's you definitive version! The added scenes clarify our heroes motivations. The balance between fast-paced action and slower-paced character development...
This is the best version the 2016 Ghostbusters! The extended version was overly long with too many jokes going too long. The theatrical version was shorter, but TM2YC shows that...
The 2008 Hulk reboot improved on the 2003 film in several areas. The origin story hewed closer to the comic book original, and Banner closer to Bixby's TV interpretation we...
HAL9000's tour-de-force continues with this improvement of Part II. Editing remains outstanding. Trims continue to tighten the story without causing the feeling that you're missing something. Does this...
The weakest of the Prequels, HAL9000 elevates this movie from frustrating to acceptable. Other Prequel fanedits cut more, but for my taste HAL9000 cuts better: these are the only edits...
HAL9000 gives us a perfect conclusion to the trilogy. After his excellent Parts I and II, this Part III edit elevates the entire trilogy to a higher level through the...
This is my go-to version of RotJ. While Q2's edit doesn't replace the original, it's a fine complement. This surpasses other HD fan-edits to date.
What an improvement! TM2YC's edit convincingly surpasses the original. Audio / video editing is seamless. Amazingly, the only time a visual transition pulled me out of the...
Do you want to make a fan-edit? Are you unsure how far you can push the envelope? Watch this Bootstrap Edition for proof-of-concept. Compliments to QuackAtomic for creating a new...
Another solid Bond improvement from Last Survivor. This edit convincingly replaces the original. Distractions are removed, we get back to the ultimate Bond girl faster, the...
A clear improvement on the original. GOTG2 felt too long and was full of "the jokes worked well in part 1, let's cram as many as we...
Aztek improves on the original, showing that a satisfying edit can be subtle. Technically flawless. The Bjork song greatly improves the opening credits. The...
SSJ pulls off the impressive feat of reinterpreting the movie. The concept is novel, the execution is impressive, the trimming of blood and violence helps to keep the focus on...
Oh yes! This is terrific. Icarus makes this Bond film not just acceptable, this edit makes it enjoyable! Compliments on the narrative. Tightening the pace is spot...
Across the board better than the original, and on the whole better than any other Indy 4 fanedit. Q2 strikes the best balance of action, quest, and...
Many small improvements, without any grating omissions or transitions. This was my go-to version until I saw Q2's edit. TM2YC's edit remains a convincing improvement on the original....
