Pearl Harbor: Strength and Honor Edition

February 9, 2010 @ 10:09 am

This is much better than the original edit in so many ways, it plays out as ‘proper war movie’ all the R rated scenes added are all truely wonderfull and add so much more the the scene’s making them far more realistic.

It’s runs very smoothly, my only gripe is the ending the last 5 minutes, (as in the original) they crash land in the rice fields then it cuts back to the home scene with no real feel of how they got there and what went on in between. Besides that i loved it i was glued to the screen throughout, thanks for an excellent edit.

I have never seen the original Pearl Harbour, and in watching the Strength and Honour version, I don’t feel as if I have missed anything. All the story elements are still there and not once did the arc feel wrong. This is skillful editing at its best! Recommended edit from a great Faneditor!

I really liked this edit.

The first time I viewed the original with friends we all said it would have been a brilliant movie if only they had left the love story out, I even considered trying to give this a shot myself but never got around to it.

Well its great to see that someone has attempted this and pulled it off brilliantly, a splendid job and its now a great modern war movie, I could even show this to my grandad and he would agree that it was boys own stuff now.

thank you

Cracking good film!
I delayed viewing this because I hated the original.
Never fear, this edit cranks.
As noted, the love story is completely excised, and the focus is on action.

Visual editing was terrific, and was complemented by a thundering audio mix.
Narrative was on the shallow end, but that was to be expected when there were so many top name actors involved. The nurses storyline suffered most, they ended up being little more than eye candy with a handful of lines. Not a complaint, just an observation.

This is an older edit, but one of the better ones. Top job by ADM.
