"Interesting edits you guys have" A favourite of mine, Men In Black is just one of those movies that only ever worked properly with just the one...
Problem Eliminator lives up to his billing with this re-cut of a Bond classic. This edit removes strange creative decisions and poorly timed gags to present a much pacier and...
The infamous murder of Marshall Strickland is integrated well, but visually this wasn't cleaned up half as well as it could have been, there are still visible lines and scratches...
A little short, but that just shows you how little care went into filling out the time for the series regulars in favour of more for the guest stars...what a...
One of the more unique Trek edits I've had the pleasure of watching and contributing advise to. This edit expertly combines two episodes of classic Trek and restructures the narrative...
Big Dave Kerin does it again, combining both of the 2003 Mecha-Godzilla duology to form one terrific headline event between machine and monsters. It was a joy revisiting these movies,...
Die Another Day is a very tricky beast to tame as an editor, it's never going to come across as the perfect anniversary movie, but LastSurvivor has managed to make...
First off, a big hand to Motley for helping me track down this edit after a fruitless decade long search. Now, on to the edit, one of...
At first, I panicked a little when playing this in a regular media player as there were notable traces of ghosting...but when viewed in an alternate player (Power Media in...
Having watched the three part time travel edit put together by Warlord, I had faith in what he could do with this two-in-one edit of two vaugely connected Trek episodes,...
Another direct hit from David Kerin as he knocks this special edition out of the park. With fresh effects, shots, additions and other neat surprises, the legend of Galactica is...
One of the last B5 projects to come out of the franchise, Legend of the Rangers in it's original form is a crammed product with some truly unnecessary sequences, but...
I have many joys for hobbies, two of them begin with a "T", Time Travel and Trek. Here, we get three specially edited episodes from editor The Warlord interconnecting several...
The Pegasus is, for me, one of the few choice highlights from the end of the Next Generation's run, and These Are The Voyages is a much derided, despised and...
Skyfall is amongst the most popular Bond movies to edit, and here Problem Eliminator contributes his own revisions to the product to enhance it's strengths and mask it's shortcomings. The...
Babylon 5 is a gem in the sci-fi world, so it can only do the show a world of good to have a few entries on this site, it helps...
That was a pleasant little use of my time. No hard cuts detected, plot rattled along, didn't even notice Tin Tin was missing. A splendid job.
The original Battlestar Galactica is one of those great tragedies in Hollywood...a series with great promise and ambition let down by hasty network decisions and executive meddling. The first season...
I watched Superman Returns about twice theartrically...I remember being in love with it at the time because I was on quite a Reeve kick, but now I see how problematic...
This is a great TV-format that calls back to the good old days of strict censorship that plauged (or highly amused) fans of gripping r-rated dramas back in the day....
One of the all time classic Superman 2 edits, this is the best of both worlds, Lester and Donner's best moments mashed together to form a coherent and consistent take...
I quite enjoyed the original cut at the time, but this edit strengthens the narrative, diminishing the nagging from Pepper and the more obnoxious Hammer moments. The deleted scenes and...
With this light edit, the movie goes by at a much brisker pace, focusing on the things that drive our heroes to make their choices rather than the situations, we...
This is a very neat two-in-one edit, JW1 works much better as backstory to a film with more incident and substance. It flows fairly well together, I wasn't taken out...
Dude, where's your review? Where's your review dude? Dude, there's your review. Another top-notch "reality cut" from Bobson. All existing tension has been nullified, leaving...
I actually liked a lot of the original cut of the Last Jedi, but often found myself disengaged with the humor and needless side stories. What hooked me was the...
Leaps better than the theatrical cut. Audio transistions were very smooth and allowed for seamless bridging of the deleted scenes, there were a few abrupt points that have been mentioned...
A much quicker BTTF 2 with repetitious scenes and other distractions removed to bring you the plot at a brisker pace. Sound mixing was fine and I love opening the...
Redlettermedia have made quite a name for themselves over the years...especially in the wake of ever growing criticism of the Star Wars brand, so it's interesting to take a look...
Having seen both versions, I have a hard time picking which one is my favorite even with all the errors of Moviejim's take...there's something incredibly endearing about his effort and...
Sinbad brings the style and pacing of 24 to the Die Hard franchise. Some skifull editing ensures we see this blockbuster action set-piece tackled from various different angles, with the...
In an attempt to better balance out the themes and messages behind Snyder's vision, samspider3 has taken a unique approach to the first outing for the DCEU's take on the...
A powerful and streamlined take on this much malinged entry in the Synderverse. Mr. Blue takes familiar cues from the Dark Knight Trilogy and uses them to enhance Bruce's journey....
Ever wonder what Mask of the Phantasm would look like cut down for syndication? Worry no more and add this to your collection alongside all your other episodes of Batman:...
Excellent edit. Touches on the important and emotional story beats in half the time it takes to sit through the film. At times I wish there were better mixes of...
A streamlined presentation, things that got in the way of people really getting behind a decent reinterpretation of the Superman legend. This is also, pleasantly, more of a sanitized edit...
The first in a series that seeks to tighten the chronology in the X-Franchise, this one casts a tighter spotlight on Eric Lesnher, aka Magneto, and focuses on his journey....
Ryaney stitches together the remainder of the Mary Watson arc here, and the result is an even stronger offering than his equally fun "Return of Sherlock", mainly because there's more...
A very solid merging of two Sherlock episodes. First there is the riveting ''Empty Hearse'', which is smartly edited to shorte it's length without missing any essential beats, keeping what...
This is'nt a bad one really, Zion is'nt really missed, the scenes on the ships are our best window into the ''real world'' and don't deter the drama all that...
Josh Trank's disastrous movie repurposed as a television pilot is an idea that sort of demands you pay attention to it against your better judgements...but the key to fanediting is...
This is a bold undertaking, and the true magic of fanediting... taking the narrative as it exists and flipping it on it's lid. It astonishes me that the Warchowskis accidently...
Batman v Superman is a complex, overly angry and edgy beast, but much like DC's recent ''Rebirth'' iniative in the comic books, sometimes hope is all you need to tame...
Man of Steel is a complicated beast...there are parts of it I absolutely love, but at an overdrawn length, a confounding ending, and way too much decompression at the start,...
As a kid I had the "official" edit of this on VHS, it was called "The Venom Saga". This particular edit did many different things in comparison while tightening the...
This is probably the best "3-in-1" prequel edit of Star Wars I've seen attempted. The idea to use the climatic lightsaber duel of the Phantom Menace as a pre-credits scene...
Absolute gem of an edit. Anakin's downfall is more in-line with the way the OT explained, and removing Obi-Wan's "DEMOCRACY" line, which was hysterically over-the-top, was a nice addition too....
I am an apologist for this movie. Don't ask why, I don't think I could give you a reasonable answer. It's just one of those films I have all day...
Blackadder Back and Forth was a curious old thing...made it at the time as a complimentary peice for the ill-advised Millennium Dome eyesore. While it was nice to see plenty...
Skyfall can be best described in the actual movie, "A Rubix Cube That Keeps Fighting Back", it presents a great deal of editing challenges to smooth over and perfect certain...
