Review Detail

Technically a mostly very fine edit with only a few noticeable cuts that you can't blame an editor too much for considering how tightly-woven the source material being worked with here is. Narratively I think this is both easier to follow in some senses, especially for viewers with less of a firm grasp on the original cut of the film, but also the omitting of some scenes makes certain characters feel out of place, sometimes highlighting these issues from the original film even more. The name cards felt very fitting however and I don't wanna harp on this 'confusion' too much as it's clearly not a dealbreaker for most. I also just apparently don't have the same fundamental issues with the film as the creator of this edit does, which is no fault of anyone's and simply means that, of course, this edit isn't really for me. That said, the Strauss reveal of the third act does indeed come swinging like a "wrecking ball" and is a very fun sequence as presented here. Interesting credits song choice as well! As far as delivering on the promises from its description, I'd say this is on-the-whole a successful effort.
