Synopsis:

A reserved fanedit that shows just how much fun you can have when you’re not stopping for a quip or applause shot every five seconds.

Intentions:

Cut back jokes and gratuitous applause shots that slow the movie's pace to a crawl when it should be fast-paced and exciting. Also retimed the film to make it more saturated and contrasted, avoiding that washed-out look of the theatrical.
