Synopsis:

This is an ultimate re-cut of the X-Men Trilogy to make these characters closer to the comics and darker in nature. Cheesy lines were removed throughout, needless exposition was removed, dialogue trimmed for pace and repetitions were removed.

Intentions:

The intention was to make these characters closer to the comics and darker in nature. Cheesy lines removed throughout, needless exposition removed, dialogued trimmed for pace and repetitions removed. Plot thread reworked and some dropped completely. Motivations tweaked.

Change List:

XRW has 7 completely new scenes constructed to move the story on or combine multiple scenes to create a new drive, conclusion or eliminate duplication and redundancy These scenes are (in no particular order for you to enjoy their appearance). - A 2 new Cerbro Sequences - A new ending - A new climax (not at the end) - A reworked crowd scene - A new chat between major characters - New title sequence.

Additional Notes:

- the Rogue/Bobby sub plot love story is removed - the train station attack and Ellis Island attack in X1 removed. - Magneto starts of in jail…we don’t need to know why (you will see how it’s made to work) - Also Mystique attacks upfront so that the senator is already her at the senate in X. - The movie opens with X 3 opening and unused titles constructed from scratch. - Angel subplot removed (but he is in it???…sorry not telling) - Selected deleted scenes and new sequences were inserted to allow for better pacing or character development. - Deleted scenes were finished off with sound effects and music where needed and aspect ratio corrected (where required) - NOT all deleted scenes were used (I want to tell a story, not cram all footage together for the sake of it) - More music and unused cues were inserted to make certain scenes less empty - Biggest headaches were the transitions between films which have been smoothed in a number of ways….(you need to watch to see how) - No scene was left untouched. - There are over 500 edits.

Special Thanks:

I have been inspired by the Phantom Editor. Using techniques described by the Phantom Editor I have attempted to recraft the Xmen trilogy into this. I am grateful to all the comments and suggestions which led me to further polish this to where it is especially Boon 23 who’s never ending support and candid comments make me see the error of my ways (and ditch the unworkable even if I love it…THANKS)
