In terms of visual editing and natural presentation The Precious Edition text is perfectly annotated and matches the font of The Two Towers up above it to perfection though I...
The vast majority of the Nicolas Cage weirdness has thankfully been removed minus him drinking the large jug of coffee and a few instances of melodramatic pointing although I don’t...
First of the Cover Art for this fanedit is amazing as there is just so much fine intricacy with the amount of colour and detail that has clearly been crafted...
To start with there is some fantastic sound overlaying throughout especially in the beginning that made for efficient delivery of exposition well maintaining some of the mystery and intrigue that...
Really love the new opening crawl as it’s straight to the point and the casting out of Return and inclusion of Revenge is a great way to telegraph to the...
(Intro) I loved how you used Obi Wan’s voice especially how it was timed as the BEFORE THE DARK TIMES title card came into view,...
I was pretty much on autopilot for the majority of the edit up until the bit with the dead bloodstained cops came along and I must say the blood and...
I really loved the rocking Red Apple Crew Logo sequence though I think the transition between the A Phase 3 Edit and the creative disclaimer could have been slower and...
I really loved the creativity and sound effects of the opening animation towards the Red Apple Logo and of course the logo itself along with the art style for the...
The openings nicely parallel each other as both characters in the duel narrative lose someone to an armed killer which also has the benefit of subtlety foreshadowing said characters connection...
At first I found it hard to tell if this was edited mainly because the vast majority of the cuts and edits between scenes and dialogue were so clean as...
I must say the trailer/advertisement at the beginning caught me of guard mainly because it wasn't detailed in the cutlist unless of course I've been reading the cutlist wrong though...
I watched the version with the ACDC songs inserted first mainly out of curiosity for where you placed them throughout the edit than watched the version without them as I...
Recently rewatched TASM 2 before watching this edit and I can definitely see why it had and has it’s detractors and why it had been blotted from my memory for...
Conceptually speaking I really like the idea of a Terminator movie taking place fully in the apocalyptic future rather than showing portions of said future and than spending the rest...
I have only seen this movie three times and I know that it proved quite divisive on it’s initial release as some loathe it well others love it, I would...
There is some fantastic buildup to the start of the movie with the way the Fanedit opening credit sequences naturally fade in and out followed by the custom opening summary...
First of the music alone makes even the disclaimer appear terrifying and the manner in which it carries on up until the start of the movie makes for a truly...
As a kid Return Of The Jedi was my favourite film in the trilogy however as an an adult It became clear to me that it had some structural and...
Normally I don’t watch stuff where the narrative centres around a bunch of villain protagonists with very few if any redeeming qualities and yet with both the theoretical edition and...
It’s to bad there’s no english subtitles for the majority of the scenes where the Japanese cast are speaking…well Japanese as a little more context on there motives and actions...
My only gripes are the 1:25:44 to 1:25:45 hour marks where that girls eyelids can be seen moving slightly despite the fact that she’s well…dead otherwise I have nothing but...
Having watched the original before watching this edit I found that it was a lot better than I remember but had some odd choices of characterisation and a revenge subplot...
The music and colour grading are blended together rather nicely to create an atmospheric viewing experience with the intro immediately drawing me in with it's use of text, music and...
Well I enjoyed the theoretical editions of the Kill Bill franchise I did find that they were a little slow in some areas and anticlimactic in others however Lantern51’s upscaled...
Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope or simply Star Wars as it was known back in the day was a film I had great nostalgia for and watched countless...
So this is where the sand that is heated and formed into the fine unbreakable glass is formed, split and created and speaking of creation hopefully I am able to...
So how does one split glass that was once made Unbreakable? well I believe that it is through sheer force of will and creativity that the unbreakable glass can be...
The title itself is genius and poses some interesting questions such as how is one able to split glass if it’s unbreakable and if one can split glass how does...
All the out of place moments which I would also dub WTF moments are definitely detrimental aspects of the film that I did not miss and the exclusion of said...
Splitting the various aspects of Joaquin Phoenix Joker’s story into separate origins not only brought this version of Joker closer to his comic counterpart but ultimately improved the overall pacing...
Really enjoyed this series as a kid and as an adult I often come back to watch it, much preferred Captain Scarlet to the likes of say Stingray and Thunderbirds...
Paul Atreides immaturity and arrogance was something I found to be quite grating in the original series however seeing as how this edit improved Paul’s characterisation by dialling down his...
It has always been a pet peeve of mine that they split the Hobbit into three films as it clearly reeked of ‘’we’ve gotta make money so were splitting this...
I was hit with a huge wave of nostalgia upon seeing that old Twentieth Century Fox logo and seeing that non special edition footage, really felt like I was reliving...
Now this was definitely an ingenious idea not only did it keep me on the edge of my seat but it also quickened the pacing too, the level of buildup...
Not to sure about the comic book pages effect at the beginning with the fanedit.org logo as I feel just having the Marvel Studios comic book page effect is enough,...
The Exclusion of Castle’s neighbours and the Russian Hitman certainly works to the edits benefit allowing the more darker and grittier aspects of The Punisher’s sociopathic bloodstained carnage to shine...
The amount of continuity errors unfortunately took me out of the movie but not entirely though as to the continuity errors themselves. The first occurred...
Like the rest of the reviewers on this thread I am not a big fan of the theoretical version of Thor Ragnarok, quite frankly they should have did away with...
I can just imagine Problem Eliminator’s thought process well trying to fix all the technical errors ‘’YOU CAN’T ESCAPE ME I’ll EDIT YOU TO THE ENDS OF THE EEEEEEEEARTH!!!!!!!!!!!! joke...
Well I am not the biggest fan of Ragnarok I am a fan of Thor Odinson and keeping the focus of these MCU Films around the mighty God Of Thunder...
The rearranging of certain scenes and the deletion of others certainly benefited the development of the characters far better than the theoretical versions did and well Logan still gets a...
The repeated scene of Thor colliding with his soon to be mortal friends vehicle should have been left out and instead after he's sent hurtling to Midgard the scene should...
