Just finished Film I and wanted to leave a review while it is fresh in my mind. To start, this was a fantastic, and time saving, way to revisit Game of Thrones. Thanks to the quality and budget of the show itself, it really does feel like you are watching a movie, and not a “TV movie”. The story flows very well and maintains a consistent narrative, which speaks to the quality of the editor. There are a handful of scenes in the movie that you can tell there was a cut, mainly due to the position of the characters, but they are easy to look past. Also, with the amount of footage cut, there are some scenes that feature characters that didn’t get a proper introduction. So a first time viewer might get a little lost trying to understand who is who. However, as someone who has had multiple rewatches of the series, I wasn’t bothered by it, and fully understand why it was necessary in this edit. I will note that this is my first rewatch since the series ended, as I did not like how the ending was executed, and couldn’t bring myself to rewatch. However, after watching this first film edit, I am actually looking forward to watching the rest of the series and am very eager to see how those last seasons are tightened up. Overall, I would give this edit a 9.5/10, great job!
