    Just learned that the version I saw had a fair amount cut out. I'll have to see the uncut version. I wish that the version Netflix had had been the uncut one. Then again, who knows, maybe I wouldn't have loved that one as much on a first viewing. You can never really know.

      Editing … I'm surprised by what I can find on Youtube sometimes. The first time I saw Bolt was on Youtube, and that's friggin' Disney! There was about 20 minutes of stuff cut for US, mostly stuff involving Mathilda that would make us squeamish. Here's a scene that was cut, which might tell you which version you saw. https://youtu.be/gWIJpw9UJdQ

    The opening is badass. The pacing, directing, music, and characterization are phenomenal. The movie loses a bit of steam in the last third, as the pacing slows and Mathilda begins acting more like a believable human being (which is oddly a con for me). Partway through, I was considering that this might be my favorite movie and that Leon and Mathilda combined would be my new favorite character. Each does get a top ten spot. At its best, this film has a masterful balance of intensity and emotion. The occasional jokes are slid in effortlessly. Subtle acting and directing are used to convey characterization. The interactions between Leon and Mathilda are beautiful, believable, and heartfelt. This odd couple never feels odd. The shocking actions are never off putting. I fell in love with these characters and this story.

    Léon was a big thing for me as a kid. I watched it probably fifteen times or more when I was 10-12 years old. A big, big impact on me. I've had a house plant ever since.

    Okay, this is the Luc Besson I know and love. The amount of character building achieved in the first half with pretty much nothing but the musical score and slight visual clues is exceptional. I felt connected to the two leads immediately and I was already feeling like I understood them. The music drives this film and you can almost sense where the plot is turning long before you ever see it on screen. The camera work is some of the most engaging I have seen in this type of film. The sense of space is altered with some neat perspective changes and prop placement, instilling drama and tension when it is needed. Jean Reno gives a fantastic performance and it was refreshing to see him steer clear of the stern, no-nonsense character tropes often seen from these types of characters. The interaction between the two leads felt genuine and I'm not gonna lie, it left me feeling a little emotional. I'm glad I finally sat down to watch this :)
