Justice League: The Spence Edit

Nice self-contained theatrical cut, no sequel baits, no Martian Manhunter, no Knightmare... adding some great stuff from other movies (I love the WW flight scene in the end and Superman's blue suit), perfect cut for a perfect trilogy.

I totally enjoyed this version of the film! The right amount of scenes were edited into (or out of) the Snyder cut, and the cuts and edits were done and worked very well. The movie flows by and the decision to make the Flash almost the only one making jokes works really well (many of the other heroes' jokes scenes were cut) and gives him a more unique character. Also, Aquaman showing his human side sympathizing whit Cybor losing his father in different scenes shows more of his character. And finally keeping most scenes where the heroes literally act like heros (e.g. making saving innocents important to them) gives this movie more like a hero movie feel to it and makes it easier to root for them instead of just making them seem like a bunch of depressed people doing stuff together just for the hell of it (as it seems more to me in the original Snyder cut).
I could not detect any technical flaws, neither on the visual nor on the audio side, so I must and want to give this edit my full endorsement and recommend it to everyone who did not like the theatrical and/or the Snyder's cut since it somehow connects the best of both worlds without staying too long on a specific "impressionistic" scene (e.g. cemetary scenes etc.). A clear go from my side! :)

Nice work, Spence. I really enjoyed your cut. And I liked a lot that you used the "IMAX-Format " on and off throughout your version. I enjoyed the Snyder Cut too, but you removed/ changed exactly the right things to make the movie a brilliant and much fuller experience. Thanks a lot, I guess this could be my favorite version.

In my opinion this is the best version of Justice League so far. I don´t like so much both versions (The Snyder cut is way better though) but If I was a Warner executive the theatrical cut that I would approve should be something like the Spence edit. I´ve seen many JL fanedits and I always wanted them to cut the Wonder Woman vs Terrorists sequence and Spence did that! Both versions have good and bad things in it, but in my opinion The Spence Edit is a way better version of the both cuts. The finished edit is still not a good movie (As a comic book reader/fan I think these movies have a lot of stupid thing in it like the Superman Vs JL sequence that I think should not exist) but that is not Spence´s fault. He managed to make an edit that is the best of both worlds. If I was the editor I would cut more stuff but as the way it is is a great edit and better than the two official cuts.

My only complaint is that you didn't cut out Amber Heard......just kidding.....mostly.

In all seriousness, great work here Spence. I saw Justice League in theaters, and watched the Snyder Cut the day it came out, I have not watched this film any more than those 2 times until now. The only difference I noticed between your version and the other two is that I actually enjoyed this one. There were a few lines of awful dialogue that remain (The amazons yelling WE HAVE NO FEAR in response to King Leonidas saying SPARTANS, WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION?....no wait) but that's not a HUGE deal for me. I enjoyed watching the film this time around, and after some reflecting and reading your cutlist, I remember the terrible bits that you removed or modified, and I say again that you did a great job. The crowning achievement of an editor is to fool the audience into believing it was original, and for me, you did that. All of the scenes that were cut were not even remembered, which is exactly the idea. Well done, sir.

(I gave a 9 for enjoyment because of those lines that made me roll my eyes, I'm sorry!)
