Batman v Superman: No Justice

Bravo, bravo *clap* Reese Evans, you are amazing! The cuts/moves you made to the film are exactly what needed to done to tell a great story with the hot mess that was BvS. Thank for you taking the time to put this together, you truly are a master worker. This was the such an enjoyable watch.

This edit does exactly what it sets to do - eliminate everything related to the "Dawn of Justice" side of the movie and focus on Batman vs Superman.

Does it work? Hell, yeah.

I, myself, share the same opinion as Reese regarding the original movie. All the Justice League stuff felt like they don't really belong and are there because the company is rushing the shared universe train.

The quality of the edit is great. Didn't notice any issue there.
I had no problem with audio and video editing. Though, sometimes I felt something is not right and had to re-watch few scenes several times. I guess, it's only because the original movie is always in the background of my head. Bottom line, I found nothing wrong or missing.

The story felt more focused. I like that we don't have a monster villain. Well, we actually do: a different kind of monster - Lex Luthor. And dare I say: Luthor was much more tolerable in this edit.

I like DC's serious, gritty approach to the source material. However, I felt like there needs to be some more action in the middle of the movie. Otherwise, it gets kinda boring with all the investigations, plots, politics and morals. This is not something the editor can fix - the editor is working with the available material. But, I cannot fully enjoy this movie. Though, this edit miraculously didn't pull me out of the film. I watched it beginning to end at one sitting - something I honestly cannot do with the original.

This is a great alternative sequel to "Man of Steel" that doesn't tie in to DCCU continuity, but is fun to watch, nonetheless. I definitely recommend it.

An excellent edit that streamlined the BvS story effectively without the Justice League subplot. The film worked as a story of man vs god and a chess game with a deranged mastermind. A few minor gripes: the scene where Batman says to a weakened Superman "I promise you, Martha Kent will not die tonight" could have been retained to ease the transition to Batman rescuing her (to explain why Superman couldn't do it) and removing Batman jumping from his Batwing into the warehouse window was unnecessary, but again, these gripes are minor and don't detract from the overall experience.

A highly recommended alternative to the original BvS /Ultimate Edition.

In the words of Janice from the tv show Friends, "OH. MY. GOD!"
Before I get ahead of myself, my brief thoughts on the original. I liked a lot the theatrical version and I looved the extended edition. So, I didn't come here for a fanfix, I came because I was intrigued of the editor's premise, a very different, grounded film. And that's what I got!

This edit is a testament to what a talented editor can achieve if he has a vision and a lot of resource material to work with. The movie is three hours long, plus some unused scenes from trailers etc, so lots of stuff to go through. And voilà, a whole new film emerged!

Technical wise, although it's been some time since I watched it but I didn't have a fanedit account back then to make a review, it was excellent. I don't remember noticing the changes (obviously I knew what was missing) or "feel" that something was tampered with. Everything was smooth. When I rewatch it, if I do notice something, I will edit my review. Nevertheless, a job well done here!

And now the important part, the narrative. Guys, I couldn't believe what I was watching. I couldn't believe that there was a different movie, whithin the movie that I already loved. This was a BvS, without ANY other subplot, beside just that, Batman not trusting his own guts, let alone a godlike being chilling on earth. The narrative was excellent, nothing was missing and everything, for these two, made sense. The only reason I graded with a 9 the narrative, is for DCEU continuity. You can watch this after MoS or even watch WW after, but JL is out of the question. But it doesn't matter! This is an experience on its own!

So, this is recommended for anyone who disliked the original or, like me, just wants more of DC and doesn't mind seeing a different version of what he already loves, without bothering about continuity!

Thank you reeseevans and thanks to anyone who read my review!

Excellent edit of the movie and makes it 100x better than the original theatrical cut. I always felt that the story was overly complicated by missing plot points and details (partially fixed by the ultimate edition) but this edit makes it so much more simple and understandable. Being able to easily follow the plot made the movie so much more suspenseful and the drama between Batman and Superman so much more palpable. SPOILER ALERT ******** I like that the Doomsday ending was left out as it was so superfluous to the rest of the plot. My one complaint with this edit was that it felt TOO SHORT. I get that part of this was due to Doomsday being left out but the ending felt a little too rushed for me. For example, after the infamous "Martha" scene the movie cuts directly to batman getting into his plane to save Superman's mom but leaves out the part where they discuss who is going after who which makes the cut so abrupt and leaves you wondering why he decided to go save Superman's mom rather than Superman doing it himself. Now I understand that Lois' dialogue mentions the Scout Ship but perhaps her dialogue could've been cut and Batman's dialogue also cut to simply say "They need you". In addition, I don't remember exactly how it went in the original cut but I wish there was a more smooth way to transition from Martha being saved to Lex being in prison. That part also felt abrupt. Also, why cut out Batman jumping from his Bat-plane??? I was so disappointed not to see that because it was badass and one of the few highlights of the original. Lastly, was there anyway to include a little bit more Superman? I think the while the brooding Superman was overdone there were some beautiful moments in the Ultimate Edition that made a lot of honest sense with everything that's happened. Him seeing his father on the mountain was one of those moments. Perhaps there's a happy medium somewhere Superman can die and truly have HIS moment in the movie but have the movie as coherence of this cut as well as the superfluous Justice League seeds left out.
Anyways, those are my few complaints and I'm not sure if any other way was really possible but either way I appreciate this movie so much more now. Snyder did have some amazing scenes shot incredibly well but the way the movie was cut could've made so much more sense. Also loved the ending with Superman surviving and joining Lois. That was a perfect ending for him. Such a shame that it took a fanedit to get it right but I guess that's the world we live in. This movie was near and dear to my heart as I followed all of the news leading up to its release so thank you for redeeming it for me!
