Second time watching through the original series for me, quite a different perspective when one has prior knowledge. This is an interesting take on the material, a very accomplished...
Having never seen the original I cannot speak for any changes made, but their presence is invisible and nothing at any point appears to be missing. ...
Can find nothing at all to fault, to utilise the overused phrases the cuts were seamless and it never felt like anything was missing. From all what is said...
The fourth version of Superman II I have seen (after Lester, Donner and Booshman's Redux cuts) and probably the best. Cutting straight to the villains being freed is bold...
Quality as good as can be expected, a couple of edits (audio and video) stood out a little but none majorly so. A very accomplished...
First time seeing this edit in any form, thank you Possessed for making it available in such great quality! As I understand the original was...
For anybody who wants to live in the world of Close Encounters for a little longer this edit is certainly worth their time. Watching any of the three official...
Being only familiar with the original film through references and parodies, I have been intending to see it for a long while but also waiting for the coincidence of the...
My second viewing of the film, after TM2YC's Theatrical Cut HD Reconstruction, and it is just as excellent. Noticed nothing at fault technically and found no reasons to not...
Never seen the theatrical cut, watched this edit immediately after seeing the series for the first time (using MisterCooper's Mid-Season 2 fanfix), and it's absolutely brilliant, cannot see anything that...
Had been years since I’d seen the original but could remembered the important story beats and glacial pacing. As with Ed’s edit of “An Unearthly Child”, nowhere at any...
Moves along at a nice clip, all edits done well and as far as I can see there is nothing in that aspect to give away the fact that half...
In his review of Pearl Harbor, Roger Ebert described it as depicting "...a surprise attack on an American love triangle.", not being a fan of Michael Bay I saw no...
After following Peter Jackson's production diaries with excitement throughout 2012, I remember the surprise at the mixed reviews and the disappointment of finally seeing "An Unexpected Journey". The...
Would be difficult to believe that more than half an hour has been removed from this film, no loss at all of narrative coherence. Since I only saw it...
Excellent video quality, audio occasionally a little muffled and appears to lag slightly but this may be an issue with my playback rather than the edit itself. ...
While the plot is still ludicrous upon any examination, no longer does it continually grind to a standstill with awkwardness galore to bring the viewer out of the moment. ...
While the film is still far from perfect in my eyes, the efforts of Ninja-Trix make for a far more watchable time than I anticipated, the lack of frequent narration...
Thanks Raki for prompting me to revisit this film, haven’t watched it in nearly eight years! While the technical aspects of this edit are flawless...
One would have hoped that such a project was unnecessary but it's nonetheless a superb piece of work: conforming of the source material to the shorter version is seamless with...
Can't find fault with any technical aspects of the edit, no ugly cuts leapt out and AV quality is great. As a fan of RoboCop,...
As unfamiliar as I am with the character from the comics (having not read a single one), certain elements of Tim Burton's 1989 Batman never felt quite right to me,...
Never saw the original fully through (clips are enough to make me cringe), this edit is actually enjoyable and allows Pierce Brosnan to bow out of the series gracefully. ...
For me the best of the Episode III edits, except for a couple of editing choices this is my ideal version. HAL9000's changes demonstrate how there always was a...
Really enjoyed the original film and am fairly surprised that a cut of this kind was not at least provided as a special feature on home media releases. With...
Having watched Star Wars I knew I had to see this early work of George Lucas, but with all the reported "enhancements" I once again bought the blu-ray and didn't...
A case where I bought the blu-ray in order to download the FanEdit and didn't watch the disc for about three years, no plans to do this again so mutilated...
This edit introduced me to the Beach Boys before I even watched it, now they are probably my favourite band! I consider the theatrical cut...
Watched with audio track maintaining original title theme and unchanged "We Have All the Time in the World". Already one of my favourite Bond films...
The literary Bond is hardly the most upstanding of characters, yet I cannot recall any instance when he behaved in a manner akin to that in the theatrical version of...
Timothy Dalton is my favourite Bond (in my opinion definitely the best actor to play the character) and The Living Daylights is among the few films in the series that...
The video quality is good, deleted scenes not standing out when watched on a (admittedly small) television, aliasing does crop up from time to time (noticeable mostly on fine horizontal...
