For instance: why was Jena Malone’s character left out? It wouldn’t have really extended the film by all that much, and on top of that, said character explains something actually significant to the plot. The UE makes some of the plot points make a bit more sense, but considering all the other decisions which it reveals were never taken into consideration.
My personal question is: does it actually manage to do the opposite by making it worse? We’ll get to that in due time. The real question is: does the extended cut make the film any better? The answer to this is: marginally. The added material could’ve easily been shuffled into the runtime of the theatrical release. Considering the content (see the following sections) and the execution involved: no. Or for the best results: a mix of the two.īut wouldn’t have that made it too long? - I hear you ask.
Let’s get this out of the way: the Ultimate Edition is the version which s hould have been shown in theatres. Let this crow take you under his wing and show you the bare naked truth. With BvS, I’m making an exception, because I was told that the Ultimate Edition would cure cancer. Now, I usually deal with recent movies (movies released within the past four years) in terms of how they were first presented in theatres. Heralded since as far back as 2007, on a billboard from that year’s I Am Legend (a complete and utter disaster by the sound of it), Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice had a tall order ahead of it. How could this not be a blockbuster? I expect a grizzled Batman to pull Superman up by his boyish collars and make sure that the last cough son of Krypton remembers the “one man who beat” him.
After all, this is the Batman versus Superman. It follows Man of Steel as the second installment in the DC Extended Universe, and was by far the most anticipated movie of 2016. Prior to jumping in, I must warn you: this is going to be more a roast than a review.īatman v Superman: Dawn of Justice ( BvS for short) is directed by Zack Snyder, and stars Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and Jesse Eisenberg, among others. I recently - at long last - watched the Ultimate Edition of this movie… and I have a lot to talk about.
