This made the movie 100 times more enjoyable. i got goosebumps from the opening credits sequence and every time i heard a john williams score. made every scene more enjoyable and made it feel so much more authentic. the retouch to the color made it seem more like a superhero movie not the gloomy and dark dramatic attempt the original was aiming for. removing 80% of the opening sequence on krypton and some of the flashbacks and unnecessary scenes made it such a better watch.

the only thing that distracted me was, the bass seemed a bit overwhelming.

an amazing edit of this movie. thank you for doing this!!!

Agent 9, thanks for truly improving on a movie. I had to get used to the John Williams score and to the switch to Antarctica, but in the end it all worked and you took me on a great new experience with this movie.
The beginning titles look great old style Superman, but are a bit long to watch. I am getting used to short titles and jumping into action. End titles are nice until the rolling credits come, which are stuttering and bad quality. Your edit deserves better.
At 1:34:34 the music switches to victory, before it happens on the screen. It's just about 3 or 4 seconds early IMO.
Nevertheless I give you the well deserved 10 score for creating the best fanedit I have watched in years.

Awesome idea:
In this Version the Codex is the Command Key. It is no longer in Kal'El's blood.

Incredible great fascinating super astonishing holy crap work:
Because of the Removal of the music, an entirely new 5.1 Dolby Digital track had to be redesigned. Which will include new Sound FX, new Ambiance etc.. while some Sound FX have also been replaced in order to enhance them, especially Superman's takeoff's.

This was a real treat. The use of Williams' score worked wonders in making this a more thrilling, less dark and brooding adventure. I thought interspersing the childhood moments throughout the narrative worked wonders for the pace of the film and making their importance reverberate all the more clearly. The scenes extracted were only missed on retrospection, and cutting them had a positivie impact, I felt. This looked and sounded fantastic on my television at home, as well. Bravo, Agent 9.

Given how much effort Agent9 put into regrading this thing (With glorious success!), I thought it was a shame that it looks quite compressed. The filesize is too small for full 1080p HD encode IMO. This would have looked better at 720p perhaps, or up the filesize to exploit the full HD resolution.

Visual Editing: 8
The new credits look eye-meltingly fantastic. The regrading looks stunning. The editing is mostly flawless. Only a couple of moments stood out: The cut to Jorrel's face at the end of the mural talk (Was there a grading error here?) and the cut from the pod --> to the crashed spaceship. I think I already mentioned this in the ITW thread but cutting from one spaceship crash-landing at night, to a spaceship which has crashed in the day, naturally leads a viewer to think they are the same spaceship. It takes about 5 minutes before this confusion is cleared up.

Audio Editing: 10
Bloody genius! Don't get me wrong, I love Zimmer's score and his triumphant new theme but ooooh the feels having John William's score instead!

Narrative: 7
The narrative is stripped down and stramlined with mostly good effect but I really was not keen on the first act (Thankfully after that is over, it's near perfection for the rest of the runtime). For a fanedit to truly succeed it has to work as a movie in it's own right and I don't think this does. I'd be very surprised if somebody who had never seen MOS before could follow the first act (Sure it made sense to me because I've watched all the bits that were missing). Clark and Lois' relationship was sketchy in the original, here it's just gone. He never saves her life on the spaceship, so that bond is missing for a start. The look Cavill gives her in that moment made him Supes for me, so very sad that was jettisoned. Cavill gets 1 minute of screentime where he doesn't speak, 5 minutes of Russell Crowe explaining the plot to him and then he's suddenly Superman... hurray!...? I think? Who is this guy again? What does he stand for? He's just Superman, with no character building or introduction to get us behind him. As I say, after that opening portion the removals are really effective, so do stick with this edit because it pays off in the end.

Enjoyment: 9
I had my problems with the narrative as I've stated but the wonderful new score and impressive regrading more than make up for that. This doesn't replace the original for me but it is a cut that every Superman fan should have on the shelf next to MOS. It's a totally different exciting experience. Very much recommend!

My very basic review of this would be "thank you". I'm extremely grateful for this cut.

Man of Steel was a near-miss for in in theaters, and I just knew there was a great Superman movie in there somewhere. The cuts make sense (and eliminate so much of that on-the-nose Goyer dialogue and needless subplots) from a storytelling standpoint, the movie seems to move a hundred times faster with the improved pacing, and the color regrading was fantastic. Characters are much smarter, scenes get to the point, and a lot of the unneccessary (albeit very cool) scenes are removed. I do wish there was a way to get rid of the piece of dialogue from Pa Kent ("Should I have let them die?" "....maybe.") because that just seems so out-of-character, with how we've all grown up with him as Clark's confidant and guide through his early years, but other than that this is so, so good. I'm hoping this edit doesn't create any sort of continuity inconsistencies with BvS, but I'm optimistic any of those would be very minor. It's amazing how something as relatively subtle as restoring the classic John Williams score can turn a flawed movie on its head.

Outstanding, just great work overall. This is going to be in my regular rotation for sure. Congrats and thank you!
