This week’s release of this re-edited variant of The Current War has been able to drop the last cut’s adverse Rotten Tomatoes score. In 2017, a first cut of this movie was shown at the Toronto Film Festival and received reviews. Just a month later, reports detailing sexual assault allegations against manufacturer Harvey Weinstein surfaced and resulted in his downfall.  The Current War was shelved Together with the conclusion of  The Weinstein Company’s slate. It was uncertain if the movie would be published until this season.

The Current War follows the race to get the guys who sought it and supremacy from the late 1800s. Benedict Cumberbatch plays with Thomas Edison, Michael Shannon plays with George Westinghouse, and Nicholas Hoult is Nikola Tesla. The cast includes Tom Holland, Katherine Waterston, and Tuppence Middleton. The film’s director, Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (Me and Earl and the Dying Girl), has been given the chance to re-edit the project with this release, which makes it officially known as The Current War: Director’s Cut.

According to Twitter consumer jof, you will find two different Rotten Tomatoes entrances for The Current War: One will be to its re-edited edition, while another holds the reviews for your 2017 variant. The 2017 version, due to the poor reviews from TIFF, stands in a 31 percent. It takes reviews from this season into consideration, because the 2017 version was released in the UK in July. The Current War: Director’s Cut’s latest score is a 67%.

This is a major improvement from the score and seems to be due to Gomez-Rejon’s consequences. He’s stated on many occasions he didn’t approve of this 2017 cut and longed to make the movie as he wished to. Weinstein’s controller, but made that difficult and was what led to the catastrophic TIFF debut.

Some people seem annoyed by Rotten Tomatoes giving The Current War two individual entrances, and it can be easy to see why. For critics in the UK, they have yet to be given the chance to find the edition that was re-edited. On which they did see, which was a movie, they can base their reviews. However, since it was a separate movie, it would not be fair for the negative reviews of this very first Current War to influence the instant.  The Current War was a reluctant victim of Weinstein’s fall from grace. Gomez-Rejon and everybody else involved deserve the opportunity to get their picture be seen without his markers on it. It remains to be seen if The Current War: Director’s Cut will be embraced by audiences, but it already seems to be superior to the initial cut.
