Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull: Covenant Edition

I haven't watched the original film in years, so I probably didn't notice ALL of the changes... but the biggest one I did notice was that this movie didn't suck as much as I remember it did. If you've never liked this film, but really want to, I think this edit will change your mind!

‍

I have to say, pretty good edit in many aspects. The quality is good, and the edits are pretty seamless. KOTCS seems to be most of a disappointment for most people, but I was like in the middle. Didn't hate it, didn't love it. This edit cuts the correct things and makes an not too bad movie for me into yeah, really not bad at all. The narrative is a little hard to follow but it wasn't too bad for me personally.

But more importantly, this is the first ever edit I watched and I just want to thank TM2YC here for making an edit that sold me the idea of fanedits. Awesome work, TM2YC!

All I can say is wow! Outstanding edit here. After watching this movie in theatre, I never would have thought I could rate this as being close to as good as Raiders. The pacing, the action now, the humor, THIS is now a Indiana Jones movie. Never in a million years would I think I could have a blast with this movie. Thankyou from the bottom of my heart for improving this turd and actually making it a very fun movie. Far too many cuts to mention, I loved them all. People watch it!

Enjoyment: Original: D+
Enjoyment: Covenant Edition: A-

Like most - KoTCS - I try to make believe it doesn't exist. There's no fourth film in my world. I'd watched a couple edits and they were still full of issues I hated. So I noted the film was on last night and thought, isn't there a new edit out there? Which is getting the hightest ratings?

Turns out it's TM2YC.

Had high hopes for this edit and I have to say, overall, this is a great improvement over the original film. Massive sequence removals just go to prove that they weren't needed at all. (I've always hated Boomtown) - but the removals of interrogation and university were the most bold and totally not missed.

I completely forgot about the goafers. Didn't even notice!

Edit wise, I noticed nothing abrupt or jarring. Picture is good. There may have been a few audio transitions that were a little notable, but then I'm looking for those things.

The film does feel a little short now and moves at quickened pace, perhaps a little faster than the first three Indy films. There's no pondering moments or pause for reflection, but then that wasn't the editors intention. I enjoyed it, but it won't get more than an 8, as I don't like the story that much. I will say that I though the ending was a little abrupt and of course because it's not standard for post credits sequences in Indy films - I didn't know it was there. (BTW - why does Jim Broadbent get a credit???)

If you're looking for an edit of this 4th installment of Indy that you won't hate - you can't go wrong here. Well done.
