Alien Covenant is ruined by the fact that it's Alien Covenant. The plot is terrible and no amount of editing could save it. Same with the Snowman. The editor just didn't have anything to work with. On top of that, you might want to read 'Making Movies' by Sidney Lumet to learn exactly what an editor is supposed to do. You're assigning them far more power than they actually have. Instead, you're confusing bad scripts (Alien C, SW AOTC, studio meddling (Most of the DC movies) and just generally messed up productions (The Snowman) with flawed editing.

The Star Wars prequels have LOTS of issues besides editing, but competent editing could have made them a LOT better (the Phantom Edit of Attack of the Clones proved this. The editing is lethargic and lazy. So much unnecessary filler and there are SO many scenes that go on a few seconds too long - it reminded me of Austin Powers' jokes where scenes intentionally went on too long and the actors became self-conscious.

Did you know that sometimes editors should create something with the only footage they have ( sometimes it can break or make a movie, but damn do you know what work it takes to make a film and editing is key - pre production is the most inportant and a lot of movies on this list did not prepare well, a movie can be shot in 3 days and can take one year to complete, meaning editing ect. )

Man. Finally, someone says it. The director can only shoot the movie. Actors can only deliver their lines. And the end of the day it is the EDITOR who can make or break a movie. Even a shit movie with an amazing editor can be mediocre. A top tier actor, director and a SHIT editor equals a garbage movie. Just my opinion. I could be wrong.

Being a huge alien fan aliens being my favorite movie of all time. Alien covenant could have done more but you have to ask yourself is covenant better then alien 3 or resurrection I definitely would say alien 3 the directors cut has grown on me a lot more. I personally liked covenant better then resurrection.

Oh man I hate every single movie in this list and of course Taken 3, my eyes still crying in front of that shit. Also this list need Quantum of solace, Bourne trilogy and John wick. ops. this no. John wick 1 & 2 are masterpiece of editing. The fights and the action sequences are very well made.

I liked some cinematography for snowman, and the locations seem beautiful(I love snow, so) but it kind of sucked overall. I was expecting a nice ending that would wrap up the film nicely, so I would ignore the things I didnt like so much, but that never happened

transformers: age of extinction, justice league attack of the clones, and batman v superman didn't suffer from bad editing. they suffered from bad EVERYTHING. they were just bad movies, and not in the good way. don't blame the editors for those dumpster fires.

This video doesn't show any actual examples of bad editing. It just uses the footage from the films it critiques as punchlines to longwinded explanations for troubled productions that weren't fixed by the editors. Not very educational or informative.
