I have joked with many a fan-editor over the last couple of years who've tried their hand at salvaging the first season of Picard that, no matter how much they...

While obviously not as a strong a film as Wrath of Khan or Voyage Home, I never had any issues with the original Search for Spock so I watched this...

I've grown to enjoy Discovery a lot more upon a recent rewatch, so I don't have as many issues as some do with that show. However, for Trek fans who...

What Hal9000 and his many collaborators have accomplished with Rise of Skywalker is probably my favorite of his superlative Star Wars edits. This manages to take a really bungled product...

This is a very well made edit, but, after watching it, I have to admit that I'd rather have rewatched John Woo's orginal with all its cheesiness and excesses. While...

Many a child of the 70s & 80s has fond memories of the Six Million Dollar Man and this edit really hit the spot for me. This clever bit of...

Another excellent Bond edit by Lapis Molari, polishing up an older gem by trimming out some of the bits that haven't aged as well. And yet, none of the campy...

This is easily the best version of the Obi-Wan Kenobi project I've seen. It was obvious from the get-go that this was a 2.5 hour movie stretched out unnecessarily into...

This is exactly what I wanted from an edit of this film, There's certain plot elements that nothing can be done about, like the chase for Khan's magical blood when...

I enjoyed this so much more than I did the first time I watched this train wreck. Wakeupkeo has managed to strip away as much of what didn't work as...

This is very much a case of making the best of a very bland 007 film. I still wouldn't call it a good Bond movie, but lapis molari has certainly...

I came to Logan's Run through the book first, then the beautiful George Perez drawn comics adaptation Marvel did before I ever saw the film. As a result, I was...

Roger Moore's first 007 film has always been a favorite of mine. The whole concept of throwing Bond into the middle of a Blaxploitation film is just so much fun....

This is a wonderful edit that fixes virtually all my issues with the movie, refining what was already there to make it the best depiction of Fleming’s Bond outside of...

Moore's tenure as Bond unfortunately went out with a whimper when he decided to stick around for one film too many. This edit does a wonderful job of salvaging the...

Man with the Golden Gun was always one of the lesser Bonds as both a book and a film. However, I always felt it had the right elements in place...

As much as fan edits have proven capable of salvaging some projects, sometimes there's only so much you can do with a deeply flawed product. This is unfortunately the case...

On a technical level, this edit is excellent, but, unfortunately, it still feels like a more truncated version of a series that simply doesn't work. I was hoping that it...

Due my students undying love of the excellent Tron Uprising cartoon, I've been forced to sit through Tron Legacy more times than I would have ever wanted. Wakeupkeo's edit has...

This is a lovingly crafted edit that finally makes Connery's final appearance as Bond feel like a legit curtain call rather than a cheap knockoff. ...

If you have fond memories of Jason and the Argonauts and want to see a version that cuts to the chase and gets straight to the good bits while still...

This is easily my favorite edit of Justice League. It keeps what worked about both Snyder and Whedon's vastly different versions and finds a happy middle-ground between them. Everything that...

This edit is a delight. I have seen this movie countless times by now, so the opportunity to watch it again with a fresh coat of paint was a wonderful...

This is very much a somewhat longer version of Superman Redeemed, but with much better picture quality. It's a Frankenstein Monster of lesser films in an attempt to make...

This is an excellent edit.. Absolutely worth watching. I'll be scaring the shit out of my kids with it this Halloween

If you're like me and you were bored by glacial pace of the original Netflix show but thought the ingredients were there for a solid Daredevil adaptation, this is exactly...

There's only so much you can do with this film, honestly. The A/V quality is top notch, but I think the film could have...

This is about as good an edit as could be accomplished with this film given the limitations imposed by the script and casting. Well worth checking out

This was already a great 007 film but these edits have improved it further. Highly recommend.

The A/V quality of this is excellent and the edits made certainly improve the film. However, I think there's only so much that can be done to improve such a...

This is probably the best version of BvS I've come across. It strips away what doesn't work while retaining what does and tweaking the depictions as much as possible to...

Technically, this is an absolutely wonderful version of this film. However, I was hoping for a brisker pace so that I could show it to younger audiences. This edit, unfortunately,...

This is clearly a labor of love and the care put into each frame is evident. Although I respect the desire to put every last bit of Donner's footage in...

I quite loved the theatrical cut of The Last Jedi but even I will admit that the 2nd act is too much of a slog and has diminished my appreciation...

I thought this film was largely a trainwreck when I saw it in the theater, but Hal9000 (with the help of many others) has once again managed to strip away...

This is quite simply the best that could be salvaged from some extremely uneven movies. The fact that it all holds together as a narrative is remarkable, but A Digital...

This is both the strongest and weakest of Hal9000's prequel edits in that he absolutely elevates core of the film by making Anakin & Padme's arcs work so much better,...

Hal9000 has managed to take the weakest of the prequels and chipped away enough of the dead weight to make something that really works so much better.

This is a really streamlined cut of MoS with some really great ideas, particularly adding the mountain top talk with Pa Kent's "ghost" to the end and the reimagining...

A fun alternative to the deeply flawed original. Fixes everything that can be fixed and the 80s soundtrack is a nice addition
