"Loved the original police academy and naked gun movies, so this was a treat to watch. There were a ton of hilarious gags used, especially the famous "Cover me!" bit, but I never felt especially compelled to watch the series. This edit was the perfect way..."

"When I first watched Love and Thunder, I couldn't finish it and had to put it down. When I stumbled across this edit I figured it was worth a shot to try again. From the edit starting montage/narration and the beginning battle I knew this edit meant business when it..."

"I should note that this edit was viewed without having seen the original. However, after reading the changelist I much better appreciate the positive impact it had on the viewing experience. While the introduction to bane was a great start to the film, it definitely was a movie which found..."

"I initially was interested in this edit for soundtrack adjustments, but I was so pleasantly surprised by all the other changes. I ended up watching the dubbed over Kranky Kong voice, and it was done flawlessly. I had to look up the original voice for the character afterwards because this..."
Suicide Squad: Assault on Arkham
 
9.7
Reviewed by marchilika
"Despite the heavy association with other media, this edit really helps the movie stand on its own. The much more restrained humor and more realistic relations between the characters made for a very consistent and enjoyable experience. The title of suicide squad is very fitting for this project, well done...."

Reviewed by marchilika
"The way you split the movie up into a miniseries works flawlessly for this movie. Each "episode" has a good chunk of drama, character development, and action to stand on its own. It also made the viewing much more accessible, and makes the overlying dark and foreboding tone of the..."

"The work done on this movie is absolutely impeccable, it felt like a fresh viewing experience of a movie I've seen throughout my life growing up. The smoothing out of the stopmotion used for the tauntaun and AT-ATs was a great improvement and worthy bit of modernization in this film...."

"Honestly felt like I was rewatching the movie for the first time during my viewing. This edit allows the original story to shine while including appropriate modernization with tact. Weirdly enough, one of my favorite changes was the edits made to the obi wan and vader duel. Nothing over the..."

"This is from the perspective from someone who has only seen this version of the film. That being said, understanding that additional work went in to greatly taper down and streamline this film also plays a great role in my appreciation and enjoyment of the content. The edits were extremely..."

"I felt this adaptation was much better represented with a much shorter form factor. Despite how much runtime was cut from this edit, it doesn't feel incomplete. However, my gripe with the original cut remains here, in that all that buildup ultimately didn't lead to the most amazing payoff for..."

"I haven't seen the original, but this could easily pass off as the real deal. From your descriptions of the flaws of the original material you were working with, this lives up to being a completely transformed product. Some over the top action sequences and one-liners were sprinkled throughout, but..."

"This was one of the few star wars films that I really couldn't be bothered to rewatch. The excess of dangling plot points and McGuffins often left me feeling exasperated and removed from whatever convoluted story was being told on screen. This edit helped to trim a lot of the..."
