I truly enjoyed this edit a lot! It combined, kept and inserted all the parts out of both versions that let's the audience get to know the characters better and deepen their relationships, which is one of the most important things in my opinion for the audience to care and immerse in the movie.

The other important thing is the story, and the main elements of the story are all there. This is surprising, since the movie is trimmed down to "only" 136 minutes which fly by fast. Much that was left out were scenes from the Snyder cut, that did not really progress the story at all.

The change in music was surprising to me, I was often wondering if that song really helped in that specific scene, but all of a sudden something in the movie happened and the song suddenly fit the vibe well. So with this edit you have to trust the editor a bit and lay back and allow it to be in order to find the enjoyment that was intended by the editor. At least that is how I took it :)

The audio / video edits blend in perfectly, of course, new music during intense battle scenes that maybe even include cuts / edits must be crazy hard to pull off, so knowing that I gave the edit some slack.

The only thing that I truly wished would have been cut was Superman and Cyborg joking on the floor after seperating the motherboxes. This just was totally out of character for both, and also uncalled for, because the threat still was not fully over. I never liked this part in the Whedon cut in the first place and I was growning a bit, when I saw it in this otherwise brilliant edit!

The ending with Steppenwolf being beaten due to being attacked by his own "men" is also something that was kind of rushed and not the most creative thing in the TC. However I can see it happening in a comic book, so I am fine with it. Steppenwolf wearing his "old" armor also needed a bit of getting used to, since the Snyder cut version was kind of bad ass I must admit. But I understand that in order to keep the Whedon ending, all Steppenwolf scenes had to be in his first cut armor, which is not bad as well, gave me kind of a retro feeling. And lastly the total cut out of Darkness, which is a totally uninteresting character to begin with, was perfectly fine with me.

All in all (besides the Superman/Cyborg joking scene!) a fantastic edit, which I will certainly watch and enjoy again and recommend to anyone who like classic superhero movies. Thank you!

Having grown up during the Comic Bronze Age, I was waiting to watch this edit, and it has surpassed my expectations.

Just in two words: A masterpiece.

BionicBob has accomplished a truly entertaining and wonderful edit of both JL movies, a real pleasure for the senses and it really makes "JUSTICE" to the comics of the above mentioned Age.

Since the very beginning I was hooked, I really love the flashbacks with Lois and Superman from BvS, they really match the interpretation of Superman with whom I grew up, now he is not a dark superhero, he is the light, he is the way it is supposed to be , he is a beacon for humanity, he is a symbol of hope.

The tone, the pacing, the colour grading and the music selection are just great.

The new colour grade fits very well with BionicBob's vision of the JL, and it is an homage to the 80s movies in where the blue tone was predominant, I really love it.

The music selection, from "(Don't) Fear the Ripper" to "Hurt" and the epic music cue from Tron: Legacy for Victor Stone make this edit a much better version of both JL movies. And of course "You're the best" from Karate Kid in the final act is pure emotion.

While watching this edit, I did not miss any of the scenes that are on both JL versions, the pacing is very good and it builds up the hype for the final act, the confrontation with Steppenwolf.

Also, I did like the humour scenes that BionicBob has left from the JL TC, they fit very well, because at the end this is an homage to the Bronze Age.

From now on, BionicBob's Justice League edit will be my go-to version.

If you have grown up in the 70s and the 80s or if you are a true fan of DC comics, this edit is a must watch.

This is the Justice League I wanted. Everything flowed so much better, the coloring was better, it was serious when it needed to be and light hearted when it needed to be. Enough of Cyborgs storyline was kept in tact I doubt even the actor would be mad at this cut like he was with the Whedon cut. I am glad the vision/future stuff was removed, it really broke the momentum of the movie. The music selections were appropriate and tugged nicely on the strings they were intended to (seriously just let the end credits play). This was a solid 10/10. My only complaint is losing the end credit scene from the Snyder cut with J'onn J'onzz in it but with 3 end credit scenes I know it had to go for length.
