I finally got around to watching this, it was pretty great. I'm a big fan of the original, and this improves upon that. I must say, some of the transitions to the deleted scenes were visible. Not that the quality was bad, the upscaled scenes looked surprisingly good, I can't place exactly what the problem was. In any case, for the most part the editing was superb. Unlike some others, I don't mind certain language being removed, it's not like I want to hear it, and you're still free to watch the theatrical version whenever you want. The new ending was very well put together. I don't think I have anything else to note, this was just nice.

Also thanks for including my name in the credits.

This truly entertained me. Others have pointed out a loss of quality with deleted scenes, but honestly I didn't notice any at all.
I actually found everything to be top notch!

Honestly, I don't really remember the original version. So I had to brush up my memories first before I could watch this version.

No wonder this fan edit was the runner up for this year "Fan Edit Of The Year". RoccondilRinon did such a good job with the visual and audio editing. You barely see any difference with the original version. The new color-graded footage blends in perfectly with existing footage.

Also, I really enjoyed the subtle SFX addition and the 8bit look and feel. I am not going to detail all the new additions here so I suggest you check the full list of changes and additions on the release sheet.

Other than that, the Scott Pilgrim and Kim Pine relationship cartoon intro is top notch and I really like how it is placed at the beginning of the movie.

To cut things short, this edit is more faithful to the comic book and more true to the characters.

It's so good it replaces the original for me. Sorry, Edgar :)

I loved this fanedit and you will, too.
Firstly, it doesn't hurt that I love the original film. That said, it's no guarantee that I'll love a fanedit. Despite the best of intentions, some faneditors' visions of what would make a great viewing experience just don't match mine. Their changes actually lessen the film. Not so, here. There are no frivolous additions, nothing added that doesn't increase amusement or add depth. More importantly, it's all done with love and attention to the style of the original film, from the very start with awesome custom intro bumpers all the way through to a fun bonus credits gag.

I have seen some nitpicking in a couple of other reviews and I have to totally disagree. With respect, these people need to watch the original film again. They may have thought that the additional lines or scenes are edited in less-than-perfectly but they...are...WRONG. The film is originally full of effects and fast cuts and abrupt transitions and scenes of varying quality. The additions are fit in perfectly here, and if you're still bothered by an edit, a quick pass through Handbrake fixes everything. Try it guys, you'll love it. And for those unsure about adding the animated bits, they flesh out the characters in the film, like the backstory with Kim, introducing Gideon, etc. If you're someone with a terminally short attention span (so much so that even a video game style film can't hold it) then play on your phone and watch this in spurts until you develop that muscle. This isn't a Merchant-Ivory piece: it flies by despite the extended length.

The only quibble I have is in some mild censorship on the part of the editor. A few lines were cut out from characters that mentioned "race" or being "retarded". Someone might find these offensive, but in my opinion it's not up to a faneditor to change characters by cutting out anything they say that the faneditor doesn't like. (Unless reshaping characters is the whole purpose of the edit!) You leave the lines in and let audiences decide if they're offended and what that makes them feel about those characters. Not every character has to be perfectly likable.

All in all, a phenomenal edit that extends and replaces the original film. I recommend this to everyone on the site without reservation. Thanks very much for the hard work, RoccondilRinon!

Everything was perfect in this fanedit. The visual and audio editing is flawless. The added scenes work great. The cartoon at the beginning is not essential, but why not. It's fun. Replaces the original for me.
