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

Here's another splendid edit from a very dedicated editor, who shows talent and love for the matter at hand. All the annoying, stupid and unnecessary crap that Snyder stuffed his films with is gone.

Left, there's only a lean, fun and fast action adventure that manages to fuse the most interesting elements of Man of Steel and Batman V Superman into a lovely blockbuster.

After the continued disappointment that Snyder's DC film reign has been, it's great to see someone who understands pacing and with a sharp eye for storytelling, create a blockbuster well-worthy of our time.

Wow, just wow!
I somewhat liked MOS, I tolerated BVS, but this one takes both and combines them into a masterpiece! A treat from start to finish! Now, nothing is perfect, and few places could certainly have been better, such as Zod's death or Superman's bat-mobile chase. I would also love it if the editor brought down the green tint both movies were loaded with, to make the colors and Superman's costume pop more in a perhaps newer version.
All in all, definitely one of my favorite fan edits out there! Hats off to the editor, he killed it!

I enjoyed both films and re-watched them multiple times, but this was a great and cohesive film combining both into a single story.

The audio/visual editing was fantastic, just a few minor audio issues, most notable for me when Lex first activates the Kryptonian A.I.: you couldn't hear the A.I.'s voice at all.

The narrative was amazing and the use of flashbacks was chef's kiss, and though some favorite sequences were lost from both films (the Smallville battle, Diana and Bruce flirting over the data drive, the Justice League cameos) it served the streamlined storytelling of a single film.

My biggest gripes were that the editing Zod's of death made no sense, the Batmobile sequence was blink- and-you'll-miss-it and omitting Batman's "Do you bleed?" line was completely unnecessary.

Overall, a very solid 9 out 10 for me. Highly recommend.

I can't add too much that hasn't already been said here, other than to say this is a masterful job by Willins. Narrowing the movie down to some of the key themes and good ideas that Snyder presented in otherwise bloated affairs could not have been easy.

The flashback to the tornado at the Kent farm as a metaphor for Superman's battle with Doomsday, in particular, was genius. To me this read as Superman feeling a familiar level of fear: not for himself but for the world's safety and ultimately that of Lois and Martha. This added element puts a fine point on disproving Batman's theory that Superman doesn't qualify as being brave due to being a superhuman.

The removal of Batman killing is always a welcome change and it was handled well in this edit. As a result, he still maintains a certain level of anger and brutality while staying in control of himself.

Something that hasn't been mentioned is how well Wonder Woman was handled. In this edit Diana lurks in the background, and we only see her in passing until she emerges as the cavalry in the film's climax. For me this heightened one of BvS's already brilliant moments.

Neither she nor Lex Luthor come into direct contact with Batman or Superman early in the film. For Lex this adds to the idea that he is a clever puppet master merely biding his time.

I strongly recommend this fanedit.

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.
