Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice Part 2 - The Consequences Edit

I hated this movie when it came out... I can't believe how much better this one is. Great work!

Big improvement over the original. Albeit, it's been years since I've seen the original, and I think I've only seen it once, but I didn't really like it that much. I appreciate the changing of the infamous "Martha" scene and the removal of the dirt tease, and other things. Using Inception music for Clark's funeral is an odd choice, but it actually works pretty well and the song sounds like the rest of the soundtrack. The biggest problems with this movie though, are impossible to fix, that being Doomsday and all the distracting Justice League teases. Enjoyed this much, much more than Man of Steel.

Partly a cut/paste of my JL review...

I just finished watching Wakeupkeo's edits of BvS, JL and most of MoS, and I'm coming away very impressed. I think the highest compliment you can give any edit is that it's the only version you will watch in the future, and that is definitely the case for these terrific versions of JL and BvS. I never really had any problems with the theatrical edits of MoS or WW, so I'll probably stick with the originals for those.

I enjoyed a lot of things about the original BvS, but it also had a few "c'mon man" moments that were either a bit too out of character or were just outright corny (Martha). This edit expertly removes the few things I hated and streamlines the rest of the movie to give it a much more engaging pace. I doubt you'll notice any rough cuts or transitions.

The only minor technical issue I had was with the sound. My receiver is reading the mix as Dolby Digital, but it seems to be encoded in stereo (no center, no surrounds). This could be specific to my setup, but I thought it was worth a mention, especially with my having no other criticisms whatsoever. Kudos on an excellent edit, and thank you for your work on it!!!

2/3rds of the way through the Dawn of Justice Trilogy. WakeUpKeo does it again. It continually amazes what a little restructuring and trimming does for the overall films in the DCEU.

The one and only complaint I have is the Martha scene. While WakeUpKeo completely understands the scene, and what is actually happening in that scene is that the dialogue when helping Superman up kinda is jarring. Nothing WakeUpKeo could have done about that without extra deleted scenes/dialogue. Despite the slightly jarring moment (Should Bruce know Clark secret, or that his moms name is Martha?) would have required just a few extra words in that scene. It's easy to handwave cause it's Bruce and he knows every thing. but I really wish the dialogue existed to fix here as WakeUpKeo did a masterful job in getting the entire scene structured in a way that gets the point across and leaves no room for interpretation about what is happening there.

Definitely recommend as this is superior to all versoins I've seen so far. WakeUpKeo does a masterful job changing this movie into the tent pole blockbuster it should have been.
