On Reading Reviews: A Different Vision for Us?

[Storm22]

Both Rohann and Darkie, who both saw the mexican version said it was closer to 2hrs. Darkie clocked the time and got 1hr 50mins.

 

[J.Howlett]

Seriously? Without credits?

Why the huge difference between the two cuts?

Darkie was adamant it was 1hr 50mins, she clocked the film without credits, said it was around 2hrs with credits.

 

[J.Howlett]

Seriously, this close to the release, they should've locked this picture a while ago. Unless, there is two cuts to this film and they're deciding on which one they want to use.

Still, that makes no sense, considering how close we are to release.

Storm22 do you agree with me? Don't you think that's the approx. running time that PWR said. I think Fox gave the British Film board the same version as the press screening because they had an international deadline.

I'm sure the movie is locked, but that doesn't mean that they didn't get an earlier version.

I really dunno what to think Ursavior! Why would the BBFC rate a press screening if that wasn't the final cut?

 

[Ursavior01]

I really dunno what to think Ursavior!

Yeah I know it's hard.

 

[PhoenixRisen]

Just something new to ponder..."The 16-Minute Gap"...Director's Cut? Different versions? Hmmm...I don't think we'll know for sure until the movie comes out officially.

I don't think the BBFC know that that version wasn't the final cut.
I think Fox sent them a copy identical to the press screening.

Yeah I don't know what's up.

 

[J.Howlett]

16 minutes missing from one version but apparent in another is a big, freaking thing.

Did either PWR or Darkie compare notes to figure out the differences between the two?

 

[Kanon]

I don't think the BBFC know that that version wasn't the final cut.
I think Fox sent them a copy identical to the press screening.

But wouldn't that mean troubles for FOX? I mean, What's the importance of the BBFC review? It's ok to send them a version and then release something else?

 

[Storm22]

I don't think the BBFC know that that version wasn't the final cut.

But that would mean the UK and possibly Ireland would get the press screening version with missing scenes!! That's be terrible and many fans would be furious!! I know I would be!

Don't think so. PWR clocked the international press screening as approx 96/97mins. Darkie is a mod over at xmenfilms.net forums.

 

[J.Howlett]

Well, over in the UK, sometimes certain scenes that deal with action get trimmed over there instead of here.

Prime example although small, was the Jango Fett head butt of Obi-Wan in Attack of the Clones. That was edited out in the UK version while everyone else got that.

Again, small example, but that tends to happen when it comes to action beats over in the UK if they deem it too violent.

 

[J.Howlett]

And Darkie is 100% positive that the cut he saw was 1 hour and 50 minutes without credits?

I HIGHLY doubt the Storm wave scene was too violent for the UK! Besides we're talking about the INTERNATIONAL press screening so America can't get one version of the movie but the rest of the world get another missing scenes version!!

SHE is positive yeah.

 

[PhoenixRisen]

Yes. And Darkie is in my mind VERY reliable, if it were anyone else I would have doubts. I am sure she had a stopwatch with her.
P.S. With fresh batteries and calibrated to the atomic clock.

 

[J.Howlett]

Oh, no doubt. All I'm saying is that it does happen at times.

 

[Ursavior01]

Well I don't know for sure. I'm just making a guess.

 

[J.Howlett]

Risen,

This is all very interesting. It seems Darkie is only taking PM's in her thread. As anyone over here asked her specifics and if so what was said?

 

[XCharlieX]

Oh, no doubt. All I'm saying is that it does happen at times.

Indeed. Im guessing it couldve been a mix up, as there arent many more folks with this claim.

 

[PhoenixRisen]

Risen,

Downwhere asked her some questions a couple pages back but I don't think she has posted a play-by-play analysis, which I am eager to see.

 

[Ursavior01]

And Darkie is 100% positive that the cut he saw was 1 hour and 50 minutes without credits?

Downhere says he asked her several times and she says yes.
