AC3 5.1 Surround Sound

Due to this cut winning an internet Poll, I’ve decided to release this cut first. I’ve been editing for years but this will be my first release on this site. When the first trailer for this movie was aired it seemed to depict a more Thriller genre type of vibe. They seemed to not include some of the best trailer scenes and the over all tone of the theatrical release was a lot more diluted. I’ve kept the PG-13 rating but hopefully added more tension and scares along the way. This edit is finished in 1080p and all added deleted scenes have been made into 5.1 surround sound.

Oof. 14 mins of deleted scenes? That’s as much as Batman Forever! 😧

And most of the good parts that help flesh out characters. Roberto is in almost all the deleted scenes and Dani’s alternative nightmare was featured in the ttailer but cut from the movie. The one they used was so flat and tame in comparision.

It’s still not as dark as it should’ve been but I’ve hopefully come closer to what was promised.

Wow, that sounds very intriguing. May I have a link please?

Excellent edit, i didn’t liked the Theatrical cut, I felt that it betrayed the original horror tone that the director had in mind for the film. But now that you restored the deleted scenes, and adding score and thriller sound effects. I really loved it this time, this new version reminds me of the very good Legion show.

I think X1-3, the Wolverine, DoFP, New Mutants, and Logan make a good overall narrative with minimal contradictions but we are missing a bridging story involving Sinister and the ‘destruction’ of at least some of the X-Men referred to in Logan. I would love to see the Marauders Massacre done right, or maybe Secret Wars, although the real implication was that perhaps Onslaught had been the one who had killed the X-Men…

I can’t say I’ve seen the earlier X-Men movies recently. Have they aged badly? Logan was pretty awesome and now I’ve fixed New Mutants it’s a much easier watch.

The movie harked back to the time when I started reading comics regularly, so maybe I engaged with the material a bit more. I felt it dragged a bit in the middle but it was otherwise ok.

Personally, I think the earlier movies are decent. There are a few inconsistencies but nothing horrific until the soft reboot. They took a bit too long to bring Storm to the fore but Hugh and Famke had great chemistry. I felt that the characterisation in the four prequel movies was just too beige and the focus on Charles, Magneto, Quicksilver, and Mystique seriously detracted from making them proper X-Men movies.

Maybe some of the cosmic imagery from Dark Phoenix could be sewn into X3 to hint at an external force influencing Jean. Maybe some of the teaser imagery from Apocalypse could be used somewhere, alongside some of the Cable footage from Deadpool 2, laying the ground for a decent re-telling of the Apocalypse story.

But I think as the existing movies stand, X1-3, the Wolverine, and DoFP do fit together well, book-ending Jean and Logan’s story, and New Mutants and Logan lay some decent groundwork for Mr Sinister’s story. We just need a decent Marauders movie!

I liked the film as is, but this sounds really interesting. Big Maisie Williams fan, so I’d like to see a better version of the film.
