Batman & Robin De-Assified

Batman & Robin still sucks, but it’s far less painful this time around. The editing was well done for the most part. There were a few audio transitions that sounded abrupt.

If you want to cap off your Batman marathon, skip the theatrical cut of B&R and stick to this.

FANEDIT RATING – 8
Audio/Video Quality – 8
Visual Editing – 9
Audio Editing – 8
Degree of Editing – 7

(NOTE: “Degree of Editing” is a 100% arbitrary rating that I keep in mind when reviewing edits. This is not meant to insinuate that a faneditor is lazy or not. Some fanedits require a lot more work than others and I take this into account.)

MOVIE RATING – 5
Narrative – 5 (original is a 2)
Enjoyment – 5 (original is a 2)

NOTE: Ratings for Narrative and Enjoyment are weighted so as not to punish the editor for turning a flaming turd into a semi-enjoyable turd.

OVERALL RATING – 8

First off, a big hand to Motley for helping me track down this edit after a fruitless decade long search.

Now, on to the edit, one of the first real FE.org legends

Has it aged well? I think by modern fan or pro editing standards I'd say no, there are too many cross fades and moments where the music and audio cues fail to synchronise (particularly at the end), the narrative works well though, hitting on all of the vital story beats so it doesn't feel like a lot is missing other than Alfred's subplot (a shame, as I feel it is the emotional crux of the original movie and gives Bruce a dog in the race to paralel Freeze's struggles with Nora) everyone feels more in control. I'd point out what I'd keep and cut, but you need only look at my own Batman and Robin edit to see how I did (shameless self promotion)

As a condensed action/adventure piece, it is a decent highlight reel of the movie, but could have been so much more if they'd kept Alfred's plot in. Overall, despite it's flaws, I'd still recommend it if you're looking to hone your skills and want to view an early example of how things used to be done compared to now, and what was acceptable for FE.org back then

Well, actually, as some people have said, not the length of a movie, but not that of a series, so I should say that there already have, 3 points of 10

The Final impressed me, and really being mounted well actually, yes it would have been apt a sequel, just ... To clarify doubts. 8 Points.

The color should have been desaturated as BF: Red Book Edition, That I dislike, as it is still full of color. 1 Point

You had to use music from Danny Elfman for Ambiete since Goldenthal's music but apparently Batman music, seemed to be composed with electric guitar. But Prince used it and praised him, 1 point

Still FanEdit recommend this if you want to have at least would have been seen as having been "good", 8 points
