I have always thought The Hobbit should have been a single standalone film. Although it was cool seeing Christopher Lee and Sylvester McCoy back on the big screen I really...

I'm a fan of the original Blade Runner as anyone else since having to study it for Film & Media years ago. But I'll come clean now in this review...

*CONTAINS SPOILERS* I thought the audio editing was spot on. The recolouring passed me by, so the editor must have done a great job...

I'm sure many of us have seen Superman and it's sequels quite a few times over the years. I'm pretty certain this edit was supposed to be more serious in...

It really is the sub zero "cheese" version. I'd say the majority of the frozen stale cheese within the film is melted away. The intro is exactly how it should...

A small review to praise the edit. I think turning Pardon Us/Jailbirds into a short was a great idea. It brings out the best of the humour and Laurel and...

There's nothing new or intelligent to say really. It's a bit of extra footage that adds onto the classic film and doesn't look out of place. Classic extras for a...

Unfortunately this was the start of Romero's downfall. He sold out to the big studios with this awful mess. I think the edit does it's best, but it's truly Romero's...

Compared the Spence's final edit, this is more of a gentle trimming. Boba Fett's awful death is here. Obi-Wan's force ghost is present. Leia talks about memories with her mother...

This fan edit is pretty straight forward really. It cuts out the distracting scenes of Wonka's childhood, which helps enormously with the pacing. The problem with the theatrical release is...
