Dark Knight Saga Recut, The - Part III

This is an excellent edit. The editing, narrative and structure were all a solid improvement over yhe original, and it finally felt like Nolan's trilogy got the conclusion it deserved in the hands of njvc. Definitely very highly recommended!

Wow. This edit is everything I expected it to be and more. I really don't know where to begin, but first of all the visual cuts are amazingly done and are practically invisible. Audio wise this edit was also strong, but not as strong as the visual editing. The choice to remove the Harvey Dent storyline in favor of having all of the criminals run rampant without the whole revolution thing going on greatly enhanced the sense of dread the original film sewed in and should have been in the original movie to begin with. The pacing is great since you trimmed all the unnecessary fat. But the thing that had me was that ending. Simply amazing. I have my own personal edit of TDKR and I pondered having Bruce die at the end, but concluded it would be impossible to pull off in a convincing way due to the shifts from Gordon, Blake and Alfred, but you did it perfectly. And the last scene....was awesome. The only thing I didn't like was you kept in the Talia death scene. What you could have done is after she says "There's no way this bomb can be stopped." you could have cut the scene her actually dying on screen. Trust me it works. Also removing the "Where's the trigger" scene is a bad idea because at that time it shows how desperate Batman was at the moment. Anyways, this is definitely the definitive edition.

It's tough to be critical of a superhero movie, but after Nolan raised the bar so high with The Dark Knight, it was almost inevitable that The Dark Knight Rises would fall short of expectations. I enjoyed the original movie, but it's tough not to shake my head at some of the choices that were made. Suffice it to say, I was looking forward to this edit.

Simply put, this is one of the best FanFixes I've ever seen. The A/V quality is perfect. I don't even want to think about the amount of work that was required to edit such a score-heavy movie. NJVC's cuts are seamless. Every cut to the narrative is well thought out as to not leave any plot holes. And the cuts themselves greatly improved the movie. The ending was absolutely perfect.

This easily replaces the original for me. Highly recommended.

Out of the Batman trilogy part 3 is the one i haven't revisited that often, though it may not be as good as the previous two it's still better than your average summer blockbuster movie. NJVC has cut what overs have mentioned a rather bloated film to a more faster pace and resulting in a more enjoyable film.

in the previous two installments i felt the narrative and enjoyment were effected when bigger aspects of the story were cut in part 3 they work far more effectively. i did miss Scarecrows cameo but at the same time it's removal works, same also for the more romantic story line between Bruce and Talia. the biggest improvement is the ending though i did feel a little sad for Alfred when you see his final words on screen.

part 3 to the batman saga is a fitting end to what has been a enjoyable trilogy of fanedits from NJVC

I just finished the njvc Trilogy. Out of the three films in this saga "Rises" has been the disappointment, until now. A great fan edit will re-introduce you to a film you have seen numerous times over the years. njvc has remade "Rises" and in my opinion lifted it to it's rightful place in Batman lore. We now have a the final chapter that we deserved as fans.

This tighter cut of "Rises" speeds the pace of the film considerably. In my opinion this was one of two major flaws in the theatrical cut. The second problem was the bloated story. The political aspect of the film, the anti "Occupy Wall Street" story never fit in well and felt like it was added just to make a statement. Also, the late introduction of characters kinda gave away the big baddie reveal in the end. njvc solved both of those issues.

The happiest moment for me was the fix to the final Joseph Gordon-Levitt sequence. I actually stood up in my living room and cheered. Although the theatrical release reveal of Gordon-Levitt's character was fun I always felt they missed a great opportunity at a better reveal. I'm happy to see I wasn't the only one who thought of this. njvc brought my suspicion to life with cleaver editing and I applaud him for doing such a wonderful job at it.

This is now my go to version of the film in this trilogy.
