Man of Steel: Dawn of Justice Part 1 - The Outsider Edit

When I first watched Man of Steel I remember thinking how the scenes were all over the place and it felt like important scenes had been removed from the cutting room floor. I felt this edit solved that issue by trimming and rearranging scenes perfectly making it go from a nonsensical movie to a more structured and logical film. I also appreciate not showing as many innocent bystanders getting hurt as that is not what Superman is all about.

The only gripe I had with the edit was the removal of the Superman reveal in the mountains. I really enjoyed that scene with Hans Zimmer Superman's theme playing in the background. but other than I would still highly recommend this edit.

Man of Steel has always been polarizing for audiences since its release in 2013 with Christopher Nolan's gritty and realistic take on Batman breaking records and setting a new standard for Super Heroes. There was no real leap of what Warner and DC were going to do take Superman the next most popular character give him the Dark Knight treatment and lightning will strike twice right? Not really, For many taking a character who is far more: optimistic, light hearted, and colorful than Batman and giving him a realistic dark gritty origin was not what some wanted from the hero who symbolizes hope. If you are one such person who wanted a more traditional heroic take on Superman this is the edit for you. Wakeupkeo work should be commended for making this I was skeptical that this movie could be salvaged but I am pleasantly surprised and am looking forward to his other edits on the dceu. it still isn't perfect but considering how much of an improvement this was to the man of tomorrow I finished this wishing this was the movie I watched opening weekend 2013.

I guess I'm just not a Man of Steel fan in general. This is objectively a well-made edit, but I don't know if it's really possible to save this film that much. In all fairness, I haven't seen the theatrical cut in years. Excited to watch the rest of this trilogy though!

This entire fanedit trilogy is incredibly well made, it's miles above what WB actually put out.

This is a fantastic edit. The choices made showing what we could have gotten in the theater. Pacing is very good and the story is much tighter with the removal of those 20ish minutes. This edit tells the story in the way we wanted to see. I can't help but think if a few more deleted scenes to help flesh out the edit would move this entire movie into summer blockbuster status.
