I am a fan of Edgar Wright's films, so when I read JasonFlippy's thread about wanting to make some changes to Baby Driver I was quite interested to see what...

This is a fatastic edit that lets the best elements of the original film shine through. The cosmetic enhancements to the VFX are subtle, the new music is expertly mixed...

I write this review having revisited the edit recently, after first watching it around its release. I am very pleased to say that the high...

I wasn't going to rate A/V quality as this is an SD edit that was made ~10 years ago, so it's tricky to say what the yardstick should be. The...

This is my favourite kind of fanedit - a creative and ambitious execution of a clever idea. The twin storyline strands never entirely converge, of course - the footage doesn't...

I watched a preview version of this edit ahead of its final release and was very impressed with it. Memento is the first film I saw by Christopher Nolan, and...

Mandy is a psychedelic film with an ambling, meandering pace and a significant emphasis on its ethereal mood and atmosphere. Which is great when you're in the right mood to...

This is a really good fanedit; I'm a sucker for the idea of presenting/editing a film into a different style than its original form, and this edit is a very...

As with all TM2YC edits, the AV quality and editing are top-notch. The changes are all executed seamlessly, and for me at least make for an improved...

Another very nice handling of tricky source material; it doesn't quite hang together in an entirely convincing fashion (Phil's demeanour near the start doesn't make sense in the context of...

I am comparatively unfamiliar with Reno 911 and I'm not generally a fan of this particular style of show; however, where previous shorts done in this style have left me...

Another impressive effort at condensing a story and maintaining coherence. Most of the editing seemed fine to me - as some others have noted, the only significant issue with this...

I enjoyed this one a lot. I think Fight Club is a great film and have seen it a number of times, and overall I think thecuddlyninja's effort at condensing...

Peculiar and brilliant. John Cusack presents his top 5 breakups in chronological order, and gives us a brief tour of his career to date along the way. The editing is...

A great example of editing, with what sounds like a lot of technical work for stylistic purposes. It's been a while since I've watched KKIII, but the narrative was just...

Very nice work! Considering the number of characters in Drive, this edit does a very good job of cutting it down to focus on the core relationship between Gosling &...

A fantastically-assembled, fairly depressing story about love vs addiction. It's been a while since I watched Requiem For A Dream but the editing was IMO seamless - not just in...

A good effort at taking what amounts to "What if Doctor Who's protagonist was actually a pair of American slackers?" AKA Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure and condensing it into...

I'll start by saying that Under The Skin has been one of my favourite films of 2014. I like my science-fiction weird and my horror creepy and unsettling, and I'm...

This is magnificent stuff. In choosing to remove all non-music soundtrack elements, Neglify has managed to nonetheless craft a short that's extremely unsettling and very effective. The narrative thread is...

Pacific Rim, for me, wasn't a film that really needs a definitive version. I walked into the cinema wanting Totally Not Transformers Vs Definitely Not Godzilla, and that's what I...

This is a gret take on Blade Runner; it never would have occured to me that this interpretation could work, but it works and feels sufficiently natural that you could...

Before you read any further, please note that THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SOME SPOILERS. You have been warned. I've been a big fan of The Matrix since seeing...

Before I get into my review, I should say that I quite enjoyed Lords Of Salem - it has a weak denoument, but most of the film is about building...

It seems only fair to separate technical comments from narrative ones. On the technical front, this is flawless as far as I can see. Video and audio were both flawless...

Three short stories about the working life of police officers. Necessarily short, and not always offering closure, but interesting all the same. I enjoyed these, and applaud Neglify's decision to...

I really liked this. The story was edited very neatly to work as a standalone piece, with the flashback outlining the plan as it goes into action giving it a...

This was fun, although I'm not really the target audience for these kind of 80s TV throwback projects. It was almost like a Robocop TV show filtered through the sensibilities...

This was a fantastic edit - it's a great example of an edit that doesn't feel like an edit, just a story in its own right. Great work.

Before I say anything else, I want to clarify the scores I've given: I've assigned Severian's edit a score of 8/10 for both Narrative and Enjoyment. These should be taken...

I'm a big fan of Scott Pilgrim in both comics and film form, so when I saw that Sportsman had put together this edit I grabbed it straight away. ...

When I first watched Rob Zombie's Halloween films, I was disappointed - in both films there was an excellent story fighting to make itself known, buried under studio-imposed foolishness. ...
