Great Experience!

8.5/10!

Do you plan on incorporating X-Men Origins: Wolverine into the next edit?

re v3.21

wow! great watch! there are some technical issues still present (audio glitches, a few odd transitions…) but otherwise a great way to experience the xmen saga.

creativity in editing is very enjoyable and now we have a brand new xmen!

i agree completely with boon’s review, too. 8/10 looking forward to a v4?

I have to say, I was not expecting much. X-Men was enjoyable enough, X2 is one of the great comic book movies, and X-Men: The Last Stand was practically a Sci-Fi original with a more notable cast. But color me impressed. I’ll try and break my concerns down film by film.

X-Men’s editing was brilliant except for some minor details. “I’ll have Jean braid your hair” was a good line, and it’s absence is missed, but Rogue’s stripe appears out of nowhere. From what I can tell, she got it from absorbing Wolverine. Just a few quick flashes of the Ellis Island sequence would have improved that scene, just to emphasize the point a little more.

X2 was the weakest job, I felt. Your goal of a darker world is well-realized, but the X-Men were not completely bleak, and some overzealous editing cuts out much of the humor that made the original film great. A lot of that humor came from the interactions of the younger X-Men during the mansion attack and the scenes at Bobby’s house, both of which, I felt, should have remained more or less intact, and once again the loss of one of the funnier lines of the movie proved detrimental. “No beer?” “This is a school.”

X-Men: The Last Stand fared much, much, much better thanks to your cuts, but with the re-insertion of a few scenes, it could be better. The Danger Room sequence, as stupid as it may have been at times, was some of the only true character moments in the film, and the loss of the Bobby/Rogue/Kitty triangle renders Rogue’s decision to seek the cure makes more sense. Angel’s formal introduction with his father trying to cure him, and his subsequent escape could be thrown back in, just to show the nasty side of Worthington, and so his appearance at the end wouldn’t be as awkward.

All in all, I was surprised that I missed the younger X-Men plots as much as I did, but as I said, reintegrating several scenes, and less editing of several included would make for a much better edit. One that could be labelled the quintessential X-Men cinematic experience. As it stands, a solid 8.5/10
