An absolute blast, very highly recommended. Takes the PG-13 cult classic and kicks it up a few notches by making it a genuine hard-R fever dream, complete with cheesy song...
Aside from creating a ton of excellent fan-edits, one of Bobson's great accomplishments might be getting me to actually like the Sam Raimi Spider-movies. I had grudging respect for aspects...
Tremault had some serious work cut out trying to remove the comedy from this deeply awkward entry in the MCU but has largely succeeded in crafting something watchable and actually...
I don't have a ton to add to other reviews -- this is the definitive version of Tarantino's grindhouse magnum opus and it's baffling that we haven't gotten official release...
We've had the story of the Beatles' penultimate recording sessions told in a way that's too acrimonious (Let it Be) and one that's too damn long by half (Get Back)...
The intention of this edit (removing most MCU references and centralizing Scott Lang) is a great idea and for the most part, it works. Bobson's choice in cutting the prologue...
Top-notch extended edition editing from Bobson again here, lots of fleshed-out work in the editing and VFX front. A strange movie that feels like simultaneously the most like a Real...
A slight disappointment on this one -- I had gone in hoping for a definitive, perfect Ragnarok (considering how many alternate scenes and fan edits there are, a tall order...
Still a bit of a slight entry into the MCU canon but one that has been bumped up a grade by more of the usual judicious work by Bobson, especially...
Usually the rule is "the tighter an action movie is, the better" but Shane Black's screenplays are so character-focused and vibe-based that it really does lend itself to a maximalist...
Unquestionably a tighter, better edited version of the GOTG2 than the one we got in theatres. The emotional stakes (and stunning FX that I'd forgotten were so impressive, looking at...
An incredible project, we need more collage-umentaries like this in our lives. I had so much fun revisiting the pre-TPM media push and hype leading up to the biggest cinematic...
Even with the improved BOP movie we got from Keo, this is a huge contribution to the fan-edited-DCEU, and much closer in tone to an actual Huntress story. A super-clever...
Less a fan edit than a public service, I greatly appreciate the editor's work in making it safe to watch The Room without a) seeing TW's weird ass and b)...
A vastly improved light pruning of Homecoming; I'd give it high marks for the fixing of the Ferris Bueller audio alone, even if the rest wasn't fantastic. My only quibble...
As is the case 99.9% of the time, Bobson has given us the definitive extended/improved/shelf-replacer edition of a Marvel movie. The little tweaks throughout are appreciated (and the not-so-little, like...
Absolutely awesome, an improvement on an already excellent action movie to begin with. No fan of barbarian movies or Shakespeare (or both!) should miss this movie and this version is...
As much as I love the Phantasm series, the first entry in particular operates on a level of dream logic/unlogic that suggests a less-ambitious David Lynch movie. I was hoping...
Gieferg continues to be one of the (if not THE) most ambitious fan-editor around, and this one is a shining example. What a stroke of genius to use footage from...
This is one of those edits that belongs more in the category of "important contribution to film history" along with LastSurvivor's "Phase IV: The Evolution Cut" and many of TM2YC's...
Hugely powerful and terrifying, especially with the added context of Night and Fog and the Nuremberg trial's documentary footage added in. Not an easy watch but as a showcase for...
An excellent edit of a messy, overlong Marvel TV outing. Spence cuts it down to a manageable length and nothing of value is lost, and lots of silly Madripoorian dancing...
I love Duel, but this edit does everything is sets out to do, eliminating character altogether and getting right to the point -- a deadly face-off between dualities that ends...
I've long had a love-hate relationship with Taxi Driver, but this edit addresses nearly all of those problems. The ham-fisted narration is gone, the schizophrenic and silly romantic subplot (the...
Absolutely accomplishes what it sets out to do, by reducing the bloated Hobbit trilogy to an enjoyable length by cutting out non-sourced sections, and does so with visual enhancements that...
Aside from the usual technical excellence of Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's work in their primes, I'm not much of a Killing Joke fan for its darkening ramifications on the...
Tremendously effective; whatever is lost by abandoning the ingenious formal experiments of Dunkirk is more than made up by giving what was otherwise a fine but unexpectional biopic (Darkest Hour)...
A truly revelatory edit. I watched this with the commentary on to enjoy Spence's opining about the rampant pacing and structural problems with the movie. As someone who has been...
My personal favourite of the "Craven Trilogy" (I/III/VII) and Ray Danger has managed to push it even further in my regard. Nothing huge but the experience is palpably more enjoyable...
An absolute blast to watch and the definitive way to experience this classic engagement. Just enough of the goofy fantasy sequences/proto-music videos remain (of necessity, as the music plays over...
In technical terms, this is an edit that definitely shows its age a bit, as the menus require a bit of squinting and the re-integrated deleted scenes are far from...
Miami Vice is one of those films that has, by turns, been equally underrated and overrated. Overlooked by critics and audiences on release; called one of the greatest action films...
This one goes straight off the deep end into Alien Robot Sasquatch territory -- and I loved it for it. While the 2 previous entries in Bob's series were enjoyable...
A nice bit of retro charm added to an otherwise pointless remake. The shortening of the runtime doesn't hurt either. Not one that I can wholeheartedly recommend but if you're...
I love Psycho II -- maybe more than the original (it's definitely more fun to watch), but Psycho Too is a delightful treat and does a great job of working...
An absolutely delightful time capsule of a movie. BionicBob does a fantastic job of making a coherent film (a retcon, no less) out of some stray episodes of a decades-old...
It rules; not sure what else to say, just that this deleted scene-turned-action short should be required viewing before watching Escape From NY, in the vein of The Crimson Permanent...
No complaints; it had been years since seeing the original but some of the problems addressed in this edit did stick out with me -- what's left is a perfect...
Far from the best Thor movie, but still unfairly maligned, this edit gets the movie much closer to its potential level of quality by streamlining its romance, action and mystery...
Despite my best efforts and the fascinating extras, I've never been able to make it all the way through my Criterion edition of this film, so I'm grateful to TMY2C...
A slightly overrated (but still enjoyable) entry in the MCU, I didn't pick up on a ton of changes from the original version, except that Bobson added in a plot...
This moviefilm and especially the grocery store scene make me have smile, pussycat. The alternate ending, while not superior to the original, is pretty...
Just excellent. A movie I used to be obsessed with around the time of its release but I've found difficult to re-watch in subsequent decades for the very reason this...
Probably the best Michael Mann movie and definitely the best Hannibal Lecter (Lecktor) movie, and now there's even more of it. The edit shows its age a bit on the...
By all rights, this should be a lot gimmickier than it was, but in the end, the "Twin Peaks" connection is kind of easily sloughed off while watching this edit,...
A fever dream version of a Hollywood blockbuster, with backstories and sub-plots stripped out so we can just watch celebrities get tossed around and CGI bit actors get maimed and...
It's been over a decade since I was bored senseless by my own copy of Heat, so I was definitely looking forward to revisiting it in this pared-down version. While...
Another blast of 80s fun; I was a little disappointed purely from a "trilogy-viewing" standpoint, I was hoping the episodes contained herein would pick up more of the plot threads...
A great package, first and foremost, giving viewers a choice of which bonkers extended version of AoD they'd like to view. The only reason to watch the blu-ray or other...
A slightly extended cut of my favourite and the most focused X-Men movie (albeit not the gritty, Frank Miller-esque yakuza flick it was evidently intended to be), Bobson's additions help...
