I was how “more” watchable this movie is as a fanedit. NOT because of the edit, but because of the source material, I won’t watch it a second time. I definitely agree with Sunarep, this edit is like watching a TV episode; it’s a viewable edit – I just don’t think “editing” this movie will really improve this movie – it’s just not good.

Essentially good technical ability. 4/5 for me as well.

As much as I love Uma Thurman, let’s face it, in this movie she was asleep at the wheel. No matter how editing is done with htis, her performance will still be horrible – but so will Arnie’s. Yep, his acting is a typical Arnie act, horrible one-liners but no edit will really change his acting. (NOTE: I used to love Arnie movies – “Total Recall”, “Running Man” to name a couple – and years later, I find I just can’t get thru them anymore.

So, I can understand hw the more “Batman fanboy” woud like this movie, but it’s not for me.

8/10

technical quality is a bit less than perfect (4/5) but this actually fits well (imho) with the animated series and in that context is an easy 5/5. still… the movie is not great however, what this edit creates is the opportunity for repeated viewings!

batman fanboys (like myself) will rate this MUCH higher than the normal viewer… it misses 5/5 for me by just a scosh!

4/5

I’m very impressed that you managed to avoid making Bane look like total shit (he was in an inflatable suit for God’s sake) although that meant you had to cut him out of the third act entirely. In fact, I was shocked when he popped up after the credits, because I had forgotten all about him. You’re clearly right about Uma Thurman’s Ivy. Even with all the trimming you did she’s still absolutely ridiculous in her delivery of every single line. As for Mr. Freeze, I actually think you cut a few to many lines from him. I mean, what’s an Arnold Schwarzenegger performance without terrible one-liner’s?

Overall, I think you did about as much as was possible to save this without turning it into something other than a 90’s Batman movie. Which brings me to my most important point. As I said, watching this made me feel like I was watching a silent serial, and I think that would really be the way for someone to go. Just scrub the rest of the dialogue, desaturate the colors, and throw in some improved dialogue cards. Viola… Best Batman & Robin possible. Anyway, as it stands, 4 stars. You really polished a turd here my friend.

This isn’t a perfect edit of course, because the source material is fairly weak. What this becomes, though, is a hyper-kinetic live-action triple-episode of the early-90s animated series. Watching it in that state of mind elevates this edit to something sublime.
