Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

It is rare that I find myself writing a negative review, usually I don't care enough to waste my time on a negative review. But I write this in the hopes of saving others from my mistake. For context, I generally like the zombie genre, and I really liked World War Z when it came out, even though it deviated so much from the source material. It was a fun, crazy action-zombie movie that had a surprisingly good flow for all the reports of troubled production. I would give World War Z, the theatrical cut, 4 stars out of 5. The problem with this version of the movie is there are seemingly dozens of additional seconds of movie in lots of weird places. Rather than a few big scenes that were cut in favor of time, it appears the editor(s) for the original movie shaved lots of weird dialogue and useless or confusing extra action sequences in favor of flow. This unrated cut, with all the extra little padding, is basically unwatchable. My fiance and myself were excited to watch World War Z again and ended up both looking at phones and not paying attention most of the time due to how bad the pacing had gotten. For example, the scene in the stairway towards the very beginning where they are trying to get to the helicopter, has a ton of extra little zombie fight scenes that just make the whole thing more ridiculous. Some of the dialogue in South Korea is downright confusing or bizarre. The airplane sequence for some reason is even longer than it was before. Praise movie editors for keeping us from having to sit through extra hours of dreck like this. This made me question buying movies with extra cut content ever again.
