First off, thanks to someone who reupped this.Never played the game. Disliked the movie (bought from the $2.00 junk pile)Per the editor's intentions:Darker? Yes, the film was darker. Jokes excised, the mood stayed grim throughout.Scarier? Maybe. There was greater tension, though I never cared for a single character so I was never fearful or concerned for them.More sinister? No, I never thought that. Sinister would imply an evil agenda, and the narrative skirted this, rather than pushing it closer to the fore.Audio editing was top shelf. No glitches, nothing weird. Listened through headphones.Video equally fine. Seamless, nothing jarring, no artifacts or sloppy work.The bonus extras I could have done without.The shooter POV is direct homage to the popular game. I am betting there is a chunk of guys who loved that bit, and sighed during the bonus, "Aw man, my favorite bit."And the lame flirt scene between Duke & Samantha? Should never have been included. That was the last thing I saw, and it left a sour taste.The quality of the edit was great, and CBB's work is holding up, eight years out.
