Riveting and Unrelenting!

As someone who has watched all three films multiple times, I was stunned at how fresh, intriguing and mesmerizing this fan edit turned out. I was fully engaged from minute one (btw GREAT OPENING CREDITS!!!!) and the movie never let go. To me, it did not feel remotely like 3 hours. I was shocked when I looked at the time when the movie ended. A testament to Wraith's editing skills and masterfully crafted new narrative. Brilliant stuff!

If I had to nitpick, there were four minor moments where I went "hhhmmmmm....?" -- one, the placement of the SPLIT post-credit scene stands out visually as David looks completely different (fully bald, no beard) from the rest of the movie; two, David follows Hedwig, but the next scene he is in conversation with The Beast, it felt like something was missing; three. the intercutting from David using his touch ability in the past and on the street I think could have benefited from some underlying unifying music, and four, the most minor of all, Dr. Fletcher is entirely removed from the movie but we do see an old woman's dead body where Casey has been held prisoner... it just feels like an odd unexplained moment. Though I do not know how it could be resolved other than maybe with additional zoom and cropping?

Technically the edit was perfect to my eye and ear, and I must stress again, the new storyline was engrossing, filled with tension and mystery. An amazing achievement!

Highly recommended!!!

I did initially just trim the shot out in a test, and it was fine BUT I have actually gone with a zoom and crop per your suggestion and applied some up-res and sharpening. This is now resolved and will be in v 6.02 available soon...keep an eye on the thread.

Thanks for your generous words. and observations.

I'm relatively new to the world of fan edits & this is my first review of one. With that said, I can't even begin to imagine the time Wraith spent on not just all of the editing, but creating the narrative for this edit as well. The only word I can think of the describe this film is AMAZING! If you are a fan of these 3 films, you will love what he has done to transform them into one film. If you liked the first 2 films, but didn't care too much for Glass, I think this edit will change your mind. The only somewhat "negative" thing I can say, which has already been said, is that it is very long.... but when you're working with 3 films and want to create a complete story, it's gonna take some time to tell it. Thank you Wraith for creating such a wonderful edit & for sharing it with me!

Thank so much for that especially acknowledging the narrative planning which took many many weeks before I even began the edit process. I pleased you enjoyed it and welcome to our crazy creative community.

This is a tremendously remarkable achievement in editing. I will try not to spoil anything, but let's say that the new structure works wonders and the way the reveals are placed make the whole thing less about "what's the secret behind these people" and more like "what is all of this building up to". More suspense than surprise. And the amount of work that went into it is simply gigantic: won't say where, but some shots that can appear to come untouched right from the source if you haven't seen the movies before or aren't fresh in your mind, have a LOT of work behind them to get them right. And yes, it's long, but the pacing never suffers because of it, and it's all worthwhile. The only downside is that a few of my problems with the theatrical Glass stay here (already discussed and reasoned with the editor), but even those bother me less here than in the official version. Highly recommended.

That’s very kind of you and I’m so pleased you enjoyed it. I’m especially glad you appreciate the invisibility of what on the face of it can appear simple, but was anything but. I still wish I’d had more material to play with, but it is what it is.

Well, that was a long one:) I liked Split and to some extend Unbreakable as standalone movies, Glass not really. So i was intrigued how this edit would turn out.
From a technical perspective, as far as i can tell, it´s flawless. The new intro and outro is amazing. Incredible work you´ve done there.
Narrative-wise the story was well balanced to introduce the characters from their own movies. I thought for "Split" it would be difficult but it worked great. As i don´t want to spoil to much from the "new" story i´ll end the review here. It´s a great and well crafted effort story-wise and i didn´t expect it to work that well. Yes, it is a bit long (-1 point) but the possibilities are limited for a single movie.

Thank you so much. Im pleased you enjoyed it. I agree it’s a long haul, and I may look to see if I can tighten it up. I did a 2.5 hr rough cut and it’s just too rushed and unbalanced but I can see how I could probably get it down by 30 mins and retain the tone hopefully. For now though, this is it. Thanks again
