Batman v Superman: No Justice:
I might have found my new favorite version of BvS.
So, I actually liked 'Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice' (or at least the Ultimate Edition), but it is true that it has some (major) flaws. The pacing is indeed kinda off at times, which is something this edit improves on a lot. It simply didn't need to be a 3-hour-long movie.
I think the decision to cut all the Doomsday and Wonder Woman stuff improved the movie a lot -- it helped it stay much more focused tonally, in my opinion. Yes, both the Theatrical Cult and Ultimate Edition of 'Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice' are pretty dark and serious throughout -- which is something this edit doesn't change, and something I really liked about 'No Justice' --, but it always bothered me how Snyder's original film went from an almost a political thriller in the first half to being an action movie with a huge monster on the second. By cutting the Doomsday part of the film, 'No Justice' managed to make the movie stay somewhat grounded in reality (or as much as it could have been).
The only problems I had where with some of the transitions between scenes, which were mostly unnoticeable, apart from a few where the music of the two scenes clashed, in a way. The biggest flaw I can find in this edit is just that the Batman warehouse scene wasn't meant to be the final action scene of the movie, so the pacing in this edit dwindles just a bit, but after that scene it picks up again for the last five minutes of the film.
Honestly, thank you for this fan edit Reese. It gave me the experience I originally wanted from Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice when it first came out in theaters exactly one year ago today.
