The last few days I have watched a ton of the original DCEU films and their fanedits (multiple versions in some them, like this one here), all in the name of preparation for the Flash movie. Thankfully I have only a couple left, both are for the JL, and then I'm done! Journey complete!
Prior to watching this edit I watched Wakeupkeos' version "The Hard Truths" and it was about to be my go-to version until I watched this one. This one just clicked right away with me, from the opening scene 'till the ending with the group photograph. Both of these parts of the movie were handled really well and it actually made more sense, to me at least. Smoother beginning and touching ending, just perfect! I also enjoyed the trimming down of the humor, were was necessary, the really funny bits were kept, and I also enjoyed very much restructuring of the Ares-Diana dialogue at the end.
On the technical side of things, the edit was almost perfect! Almost all the cuts were seamless and you could not tell if something was missing or something that felt off. The only scene where I actually thought that was when Diana is talking with Steve at the magical pool and he makes her realize that she should not stand by and do something, so she goes to steal the weapons. Before we go to that scene, Diana has a brief moment where she realizes this by just thinking, no words. I think this was cut too short and it ended up as being abrupt, the scene needed a little breathing room.
A couple of other choices I did not like, was the inclusion of the scene with the melting mask after Dr Poison have a conversation with the general. This scene is completely unnecessary. Firstly, because they talk about the seriousness of the new gas in the war room later on, so we know that this is a serious threat, and secondly it didn't quite fit with the rest of the sequence. I mean, at one moment Dr. Poison talks about creating the new gas and the very next second we actually see it. I mean, how did that happen so fast? The scene should be cut at the "I've got it, it's going to be terrible" line.
The second scene I did not enjoy that it was left in, involves again Dr. Poison and the General. It's when he throws the new gas at his compatriots at the room and he throw in a mask. For some reason, the editor left in the cartoonish evil laugh scene. This does not fit at all with the tone that this edit has, it's completely out of place.
A last nitpicking that I have is that maybe we could have trimmed a little bit the CGI fest at the end.
Otherwise, this was an almost excellent edit, I believe it will be your go-to version for any future DCEU marathons! I know it will be for me!
Just a note, I think the editor is not active anymore. Even the link that he sent me is not working anymore. If that's truly the case, it's a shame because I also wanted to watch his version of Man of Steel, but it seems it won't be possible..
Thank you TinyBreadMouse foir all your hard work, I hope you return, and thanks to anyone who read my review!
