I agree some of the deleted material is fairly cringey. However, what remains in the finished film does come across competent filmmaking. Editing improved, the music and sound design made potentially boring scenes more interesting, but when I see fragments of the workprint I see material that needs work, not necessarily a doomed production. Raw footage hardly seems convincing in any film.

Deleted Magic and the recreation of the original climax does reveal it to be less exciting than what we ultimately got, but I doesn’t like something in the same level as the prequels.
