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 was an exceptionally well done edit.

There were a few moments where the color timing didn't match between shots, and I wasn't a huge fan of adding the animated sequence right at the beginning of the movie. But those are really minor quibbles. Everything else that was added made for a large improvement on a movie that I already liked a lot.

Excellent work.

Being a big fan of the original movie, it was really cool to see all of these new parts integrated into the film. Not all of them were improvements, though. Many of the deleted scenes were deleted for a reason, and while I wouldn't normally criticise an extended edition for this, since parts of the film were editorialised according to the editor's tastes I think it's fair to treat it like an ordinary edit.
As for the deleted scenes themselves, it's clear that effort was put in to make them fit with the rest of the movie, but many of them were still VERY rough. A lot of them had quieter audio than the rest of the movie, meaning that I had to keep turning the volume up and down to hear the dialogue, and some of them clearly didn't fit visually or match the timing of the scene.
In a movie where the editing is so important, this was very noticeable and impacted the experience a lot.
Some deleted scenes were very well inserted to the point where I wouldn't know they were deleted if I wasn't so familiar with the movie, but compared to the total number of edits, a pretty large percentage of them are what I would consider "bad".
If you know the movie well, and want to see the new content, you'll definitely get a kick out of this, but I wouldn't recommend it to first time viewers and I don't think I'll be coming back to this version.
