A worthwhile attempt to wrest something of value from this ultimately pointless Wolverine prequel, but the editing is unfortunately still quite choppy, and the attempts to bring the already dubious...
Another splendid act of version preservation/assembly from TM2YC, this is the ideal way to watch Lucas' strange, spartan commentary on the future but also Vietnam but also McCarthyism but also...
OHMSS will never not feel like an outlier in the 007 canon for reasons beyond it being Lazenby's sole outing. The most classically tragic of the classic Bond films, the...
Definitely one of the more conservative edits I've seen, but there's clearly love for the source material behind this edit. What's good in Jaws 2 is brought to the fore,...
It's been so long since I watched my copy of Moonraker that I couldn't remember what caused me such full-body cringes the last time I watched it, aside from "Bond...
This has no right being as fun as it does; DigModification has done a tremendous job tightening the pace of this, giving it the narrative drive that the original was...
The concept of "that hockey mask psycho who lives in a lake IN OUTER SPACE" was always going to be a thin premise, and the original film stretched it way...
A tremendous bit of alchemy, this is exactly what fan-editing is all about. Somehow smashing together the best parts of the worst Reeve Superman movies has yielded this excellent new...
An all-time great edit! I've always been a bit lukewarm on the original Terminator; I appreciated its unflinchingly gritty tone (even the excellent T2 gets a little too jokey for...
In an alternate universe, this is the X-Men cartoon we got several seasons of, instead of the clunky (sorry, fellow 90s kids, but it's true) Fox Kids X-Men series. It...
Well, that was unexpected. I was hoping that the overstuffed mess that was the original SM3 would be a bit tempered by Bobson's expert editing, but this was so much...
As a DC completist, the original Brainiac Attacks DVD has been staring at me from my shelves for nearly 15 years now, and I've never been able to finish it,...
A huge improvement over the embarrassment that was "Rise of the Machines" -- an early pioneer of the "let's undercut every serious moment in this genre film with tons of...
Logan was initially a movie I liked, and admired, but didn't love. I appreciated a lot of its storytelling choices in terms of suggesting a backstory for the movie's status...
I didn't think it was possible, but Bobson has managed to create an improved version of my favourite superhero movie of all time. With...
A far cry from the earnest-but-hobbled attempt at sci-fi grandeur that I first experienced years ago as an early MST3K episode, LastSurvivor has given us one of the absolute masterworks...
Much like the theatrical cut of Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey tried to introduce too many characters and set up a franchise while telling a non-chronological, barely sensical plot, which...
So much fun that I dug out my Steve Gerber/Gene Colan Howard the Duck comics and re-read them after screening this edit. While the movie's light on the subversive satire...
Tremendously loopy fun all the way through. One of the great movies of all time, viewed through a funhouse (or, well, grindhouse, I guess) mirror. I won't spoil anything but...
Up front, I will say this: I missed "bitches leave." One of the great line deliveries in the history of motion pictures and it's just gone. Kurtwood Smith would not...
As much as I, like wakeupkeo, admire Job Willins' masterful edits, I struggled with the latter's non-chronological Paradise edit of Prometheus/Alien Covenant due to there just being too many characters,...
Blade Runner has never looked better, and kudos to TM2YC for the obviously intense labour of love on display here. With 30 (!) different audio tracks to choose from, I'll...
To echo what those below have said: this is the definitive version of the best pre-MCU Spidey movie. While Molina's Doc Ock is the scene-stealer of the movie, watching JJJ...
After experiencing his outstanding WW84 and Suicide Squad edits, I was eager to see what Wakeupkeo could do with a DC film I actually enjoyed in the first place --...
This is the edit I've been wanting to see ever since owning the DVD box set and watching the deleted scenes, satisfying my life-long curiousity about that damn bowl of...
A perfect way to enjoy the two scrappy underdogs of the Halloween franchise. As other reviewers have said, it does feel like a little like two movies running in parallel...
Though it may sound like damning with faint praise to call this edit of Suicide Squad "astonishly coherent," anyone who has seen the original cut will know that Wakeupkeo has...
By far the best version of this classic slasher I've seen. The seamlessly added scenes flesh out the heretofore-rushed first act, lending character weight to all parties, especially Loomis but...
A terrific improvement on/extension of what was already one of the great comic book movies. Fantastic work! Thanks for doing this!
This is an utterly fantastic concept for a fan-edit and I applaud wakeupkeo for it! WW84 was sorely lacking in period appeal and this remedies that to a large extent....
One of the better entries of the recent spate of DC movies is made even stronger thanks to very judicious editing out of exposition and forced humour. The charm of...
A really fun experience. This film will always be a slightly sillier version of the already-silly Last Crusade, but it's far from the embarrassment of the original cut, and the...
While the original was, to my mind, an overlong and mishandled mess of a film with enormous charm to spare, this edit gets a lot closer to the period charm...
An excellent effort. Although it'd be impossible to use the Hughes' film to center Sir William Gull as the protagonist of the film as with the book, this edit goes...
Splendid, so glad to see this masterpiece in its original, insane glory. An essential and invaluable restoration project. (Take that, Led Zeppelin!)
Haven't watched TMP in years (decades!) but this was so much less painful than the last time I watched the extended director's cut. In fact, the virtues of this movie...
My girlfriend loved the new footage and I appreciated the properly de-coloured opening scenes. All in all, a good night of film viewing at our haunted castle. Thanks for this...
Excellent work throughout. Transforms what was initially a "cover-band" version of A New Hope into a dark mirror of that film's hopefulness. Everything that went right for our heroes the...
For a movie that can't decide if it wants to be a misanthropic throwback to the 50s sci-fi movies, a ZAZ-style parody or a 70s celebrity-strewn disaster pic, this edit...
Maybe not the slickest fan-edit out there but I've been waiting to watch True Romance in its proper, originally written sequence ever since reading about how Tony Scott altered the...
Not completely what I was expecting -- beyond being a grindhouse version of Matrix, this is basically an alternate narrative mashing up Johnny Nemonic and Matrix into something new and...
A ton of fun -- the story of the genesis and development of Star Wars is one of the great stories in cinema history and I can never get enough...
I always thought that the "Under the Hood" bonus featurette was the best part of the whole Zack Snyder Watchmen project (along with the opening/now-closing-credits). This cut's choice to integrate...
A great experience and justifiably one of the all-time great fan-edits. Rescues David Lynch's vision of the novel from the trash bin of formerly terrible editing. I'm excited for the...
My first time seeing this, along with the other prequels, since the first viewing in theatres. Somehow it seems like the same movie (major plot points and characters are intact)...

Although I'm solidly in the "pro-TLJ" camp, there were definite problems that I had with the film, largely to do with Rose's character and the humour (which seemed more at...
A great experience, worthy of the preceding entries in the trilogy. A masterful fix -- all the Dog Alien you could ever want!
After watching both official versions of this movie and being disappointed (for different reasons) by both, I was hoping that some enterprising editor would be able to work their magic,...
