Bohemian Raphsody was a great film but it was poorly edited in my personal opinion, it was too quick paced and had way too many cuts in certain scenes

  Apparently coverage and continuity was a hot mess and the editor got the Oscar for rescuing it by being able to assemble a coherent film at all

Wow! I didn’t even notice the dolly zoom in BR, but it works to great effect. Brilliant!

Wondering if he still talks to Bryan Singer. They collaborated almost every single film since The Usual Suspects. All of the X-Men series ( by Singer ) was shot by this man.
