Whispers said:Frantic gave me an advance copy of this as well to watch.... My girlfriend actually watched it first and really liked the pacing of it better..
I finally sat down to watch it last night and can fully agree (keeping in mind I've always been a fan of the original) that taking out those 12 minutes not only made the movie more enjoyable but helped immensely with the pacing... It seemed like it was a pretty easy edit as far as trimming goes as most of the scenes in the original are fade cuts anyways but it was pretty seamless.. Video/Editing Fanedit Rating 8.5/10
If you're a fan of the original then I'm pretty sure you'll find this a more enjoyable watch... The 12 minutes removed really makes a difference and yes Micah comes off as a generally nicer guy (for the most part)... The flow of the picture is improved without feeling rushed... Movie Rating 8.5/10
OVERALL RATING 8.5/10
I too liked the bare bones menu and had no issues with it... Just waiting for decent Artwork and this is going up in the DVD shelving unit...
Thanks for the review Whispers. I'm glad that both you and your girlfriend enjoyed it. I do have one question though, if you don't mind my asking. Why only an 8.5/10 for the editing? The edit doesn't contain any hard or jarring cuts, audio or video-wise, and is completely seamless. Was your decision for the 8.5 based on a technical standpoint, like Neglify's was?

Did I miss the deadline? I thought Tuesday was new release day.
