Batman/Superman Dawn of Justice movie review thread

[ZariusTwo]

A fan has recut Man of Steel and BVS, gluing them together into one movie

Job Willins is an editor who loves getting to the heart of the matter. He’s the hand behind recent re-cuts such as “Ripley” which reconfigured “Alien 3” and “Alien: Resurrection” into a single black-and-white film, and “Derelict,” which put together “Alien” and “Prometheus” into a distinct feature. Now he’s turned his attention to one of the year’s most talked about blockbusters, “Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice.”

Though he admits he was “less-than-enamored” with Zack Snyder‘s superhero punchup, Job uses it, along with “Man Of Steel” (of which he also “wasn’t a huge fan”) to try and create a cohesive narrative about the rise and fall of Superman in “Man Of Tomorrow.” Of course, this means jettisoning a lot of plot threads (“most of the Krypton sequence, the Smallville fight, the Africa subplot, the jar of pee…” were all cut), and re-ordering many scenes as well. Here’s what Job had to see about re-shaping the films:

Batman/Bruce Wayne is introduced in the 1st act, Superman doesn’t put on his suit until Zod appears, Lex Luthor interacts with the Kryptonian ship earlier, the dour shots of Superman’s heroism from BvS are used much more optimistically, and the flashback to Pa Kent’s death is utilized very differently, just to name a few changes to the structure..

Where do people put these fanedits? Torrent sites?
They're, of course, never allowed to share links on fanedit websites themselves (Original Trilogy, fanedit.org, etc.)... so I assume there's a semi-secret place they upload their work.

That'd be right, there's links on Fanedit.Info, MySpleen etc, but you need J-Downloader and Torrents to get them. Some can get away with Vimeo hosting and can keep them up by password-protecting them, giving out the password only to members of FE.Org and OT, or whoever contacts the editor.

No amount of cutting could save that trash.
Burning on the other hand...

I watched the master-hyper-ultra-edition on the weekend and it’s not too bad. On second viewing I don’t think this movie is anywhere near as bad as the reaction to it would suggest. It still comes off as Battle of the Super Jerks admittedly, but I’ve seen a lot worse.

[Commenter 42]

It's not the worst ever, no, but it's fun to bash.
It is a big budget flop, a tone deaf turd, and an sophmoric theological argument.
It's the first movie I've come across that seams to hate itself for existing.

It's the grumpy cat of CBM's.

Yet one more reason Snyder is the wrong guy for the job.

[turtle1237]

Saw it, and shocking, I think it was pretty fun too watch, yeah some scenes were dull here or there, but than the ending is one of the best action pack fights you will see.

I give it 7 Batman punches too Superman's face out of 10. Not the best, but I seen way way worse comic book movies. I mean this thing tops Batman and Robin and Spiderman 3. No were near as great as Dark Knight or Deadpool.

I think I put this one in the Iron Man movie range. I enjoy it.

High praise indeed. I’m not sure anything tops Batman and Robin though – it is the Citizen Kane of plastic coated Arnold Schwarzenegger movies.

A fan made a trailer with Christopher Reeve, Michael Keaton, and Linda Carter. Nuclear Man is Luthor's experiment opposed to the revived Zod as Doomsday. Thoughts?

Also, the main thing that bothers me about this film and I apologize if I have seen it before, why did Wonder Woman the warrior who likely would have had experience with a spear not use the kryptonite spear on Doomsday? I am sorry but it did not make sense to me.

I'm a big fan and all, but, that fan trailer was kinda garbage.

i still have yet to see the "Ultimate Cut" of the movie.

[myconius]

i finally watched my copy of the "Ultimate" or "Director's Cut" of BvS.

even though it was good to see more info of how Superman was framed in the beginning of the film, i actually much prefer the Theatrical cut.

Really? Why's that? Do elaborate.

the movie was already too long as it was with lulls in-between the scenes i really enjoyed. (the Superman/Zod recap, Batman's first appearance in the derelict house, ALL the scenes with Jeremy Irons as Alfred, Fight Night, and when Batman goes to the rescue of MARRRRRRTHA!!!)

i didn't think the extra scenes with Lois were all that enjoyable. they just added more lag.

plus finding out that Jenna Malone wasn't actually playing Babs/Batgirl like the rumors said was a big disappointment!!!

True story, I was ready to buy the Extended Cut, no questions asked, if she was Babs.

Knowing the Extended Edition can't fix Jesse Eisenberg, MAAAAAAAAARTTTTTHAAAAAAAA, and Murdering Batman, I really don't know what the point of it is.

i bought the Blu Ray/Dvd combo

the extended cut was just a superfluous 3rd disc in the case.

maybe i'll use it as a coaster?
