Wonder Woman: Dawn of Justice Part 3 - The Hard Truths Edit

Well Wakeupkeo is currently 3 for 3 in better cuts of the DCEU after finishing Wonder Woman hard truths I now want to see Keo's Justice League and Aquaman edits. There wasn't much I thought needed changing in Wonder Woman except the ending but Keo's trimming once again works wonders and improves the narrative Dr Poison role being reduced was a good call. The ending has drastically improved with only one minor edit where we go from Diana trapped in blue hues to sudden red and fire everywhere. But the biggest fix to me was to the Gods backstory and Diana's birth I read in your changes you wanted to be more in line with her original origin rather than the terrible New 52 take thank you for this. I have nothing but high praise much like MOS and BVS this now my definitive edit of the movie. My hats off to you Wakeupkeo.

I've never actually seen the original cut of this film, so I don't have anything to compare this to. But I didn't notice anything that I could tell was fan-edited, so that's good. Now I feel ready to watch the Snyder Cut! Thanks Wakeupkeo!

Finishing 3/3 of the Dawn of Justice trilogy. I really liked the 2017 WW movie a lot. I like this edit more. These three movies, with the way WakeUpKeo has structured them shows what WB was missing in their cinematic adventure. An over arching eye of continuity. I like many of Snyders movies, but feel that possibly (be it c-level interference or a lack of eye for detail when dealing with this scope of things) the DC Movies are not well received due to that. The movies don't feel like they fit together, but with WakeUpKeos edits, these three movies all feel on the same world/universe. It then becomes more realistic having these three beings interact.

The Dawn of Justice trilogy is at this moment in time my goto for this arc of that story. The pacing is great, not only within each part of the trilogy, but between the different parts as well. WakeUpKeo does truly have a talent for story beats, pacing, fluff trimming, etc. I highly recommend this trilogy, especially if someone hasn't seen these movies before.

As a fan of both Wonder Woman and the Justice League franchise, I was thrilled to come across the fan edit "Wonder Woman: Dawn of Justice Part 3 - The Hard Truths Edit" on the popular fan edit database, IFDB. This particular fan edit, created by Wakeupkeo, aims to streamline and enhance the narrative of the original film, and it does so with remarkable finesse.

One of the standout features of this fan edit is its ability to maintain a coherent and engaging storyline. Wakeupkeo skillfully trims down certain scenes that were unnecessary or detracted from the main plot, resulting in a more focused and impactful viewing experience. The pacing is noticeably improved, allowing the narrative to flow smoothly without any unnecessary detours or pacing issues. It's evident that Wakeupkeo took great care to create a cohesive and captivating story.

The visual and audio editing in this fan edit are also praiseworthy. Seamless transitions, clever use of visual effects, and skillful audio adjustments contribute to the overall immersive experience. The editor's attention to detail is evident in every frame, ensuring that the visual and audio elements work harmoniously to enhance the storytelling.

Furthermore, "The Hard Truths Edit" successfully addresses some of the criticisms leveled at the original film. The character development of Wonder Woman is given more prominence, and her arc feels more complete and emotionally resonant. Additionally, certain subplots are trimmed or altered, resulting in a tighter narrative that focuses on the core themes and conflicts.

However, it is worth noting that this fan edit is not without its flaws. At times, the editing choices can feel slightly abrupt, particularly for viewers who are familiar with the original film. While the intent is to create a streamlined experience, some scenes might feel rushed or lacking in context. Nevertheless, these minor issues do not overshadow the overall quality and effectiveness of this fan edit.

"Wonder Woman: Dawn of Justice Part 3 - The Hard Truths Edit" is a testament to the creativity and skill of fan editors. It breathes new life into a film that had its share of weaknesses, elevating it to a more satisfying and impactful viewing experience.

In conclusion, if you are a fan of Wonder Woman or simply interested in exploring the world of fan edits, "The Hard Truths Edit" is a commendable effort that offers an engaging and more refined version of the film. While it may not be a flawless endeavor, it demonstrates the passion and talent of the editor and is certainly worth a watch.

Oh man, I think Keo must be tired of seeing my name in his edits! In all seriousness, he is one of my favorite faneditors and I have watched the majority of his edits, especially the superhero ones.

Wonder Woman was one of those films that I really enjoyed, moustache Ares and classic 3rd act CGI fest notwithstanding. But I thought that something definitely could be done to improve the movie, although I haven't figured out what exactly, but Keo and the other faneditors did that for me!

At first, this was about to be my go-to version for the WW movie, although I did not enjoy it as much as I'd liked to, but then I saw the 1918 version from TinyBreadMouse and that one immediately clicked with me. But I'll talk about that in length at my review.

This one was pretty great! First of all, as always, the cuts were phenomenal! I could not tell you if something was cut if my life depended on it! Wakeupkeo's work is always top notch and I am always happy to watch one of his edits because I know I will watch something of outstanding quality.

Most of the changes were spot on, especially the trimming of the humor. I also liked the removal of soldiers hugging and the generally less optimistic approach, plus some of the trimming of Dr. Poison, but not all. Props for cutting the scene where we see Steve taking the Dr. Poison's notebook, it was unnecessary. We figured out that he got it when he saw it and then was holding it when he started running!

On the other hand, I thought he removed too much of the Dr. Poison subplot and also the intro of the movie did not quite work for me, I personally did not have a problem with the Diana-made-of-clay approach and the God killer weapon. Also, although it was pretty clever to put the intro scene in present day at the end, I believe it was more fitting to end the movie with the photograph of the group or even the photograph of Steve. It would actually be an even more "less optimistic" ending, since this was the goal. And not only less optimistic, but also touching.

Overall, I definitely suggest this edit over the original movie, but for me, it will not be my go-to version. I prefer the 1918 edit, although it also had some minor problems.

Thank you Wakeupkeo for all your hard work and thanks to anyone who read my review!
