Man of Tomorrow: A Man of Steel and Batman V Superman FanEdit

I had a great time watching this. It felt like getting the best out both movies. Still hate it when superman hovers over the tanker when it's kicked to him and lets it explode the building behind him. Seemless video and audio and for two movies combined into one it didn't feel too long and pace was lot better than both original.

This edit manages the nigh-impossible, taking two of the most disappointing moviegoing experiences of my life and integrating them into what may be the best superhero film I've ever seen, certainly in the Top 5. This is largely accomplished (along with from the removal of the utter nonsensical bloat that made up most of BVS) by the shifting of Superman's relationship with his father, changing the nature of their conversations, and tweaking Jonathan Kent's ultimate fate. What the editor accomplishes by moving Pa's death-in-flashback to the climactic battle with Doomsday adds resonance to not just Pa's death, but to Superman's death, and to their relationship through the entire movie we've seen before. In the original cuts, both men's deaths were meaningless, morose spectacles, here they are thematic mirrors that amplify the emotion of a son following the heroic example of his father, and adds considerable weight to the denouement of the film.

With the thematic/plot elements of the movie reconciled, I'm able to better appreciate the things that Snyder partisans tout about his films, the painterly cinematography and urgent, unique action sequences. Not perfect (the "Martha" sequence still seems out of place and laughably grim -- if only Batman had learned Superman's mother's name a scene earlier directly from Ma Kent we might have been spared that nonsense), but make no mistake, this is less a fan edit than alchemy, and I'm grateful to JobWillins for working his magic here. This is the version of the movie that deserves to be remembered alongside the very best of the genre.

This is coming from someone who isn’t a huge fan of MOS but enjoyed both versions of BVS. I give it an A. The editor successfully took pretty two plot heavy movies, and condensed them into one coherent whole. The Battle for Metropolis is much more engaging and exciting here than the overly violent version in the theatrical MOS.

I liked all the characters much more than the original. I like how Superman is hopeful and unsure of himself instead of just broody and dark. His death is also much more emotional since the whole movie is 100% focused on his journey and the hardships he faces.

Batman and Lex Luthor are also a lot more sympathetic in this version, they simply represent the people who think Superman is a threat to the world. The removal of Batman killing made his character much more likable and much easier to root for. The removal of the Africa subplot also made Luthor a much more interesting villain. He’s now presented as a morally grey bad guy with somewhat understandable motivations instead of just being a straight up crazy psychopath.

There were a few minor plot holes but I think the good largely outweighs the bad here, this is definitely my go-to-version when watching the DCEU movies in the future.

This movie was beautiful! I'm a big fan of Man of Steel and Batman v Superman, and this combines them nicely while making Superman more heroic. Only 10 minutes in and I knew I was going to love this movie.

I was nervous on how Zod's death was going to be handled and I had a sigh of relief for how jobwillins managed it.

This was a highly entertaining edit and I recommend seeing this fresh take on Superman.

After watching the the Jurassic World edit by Job Willins I knew this was going to be a great edit and he didn't disappoint. The way the flashbacks from Man of Steel have been incorporated and moved around is perfect and really adds an emotional aspect. The ending now has more emotional weight due to this as well. I really enjoyed this edit and highly recommend it if you're a Superman fan as the movie really focuses on Superman life.
