Justice League (2017) & Snyder Cut (2021)

Spoiler: show

That's the CG work on Cavill? the fuck...

[epilogue]

That's not real.

[Jorge]

Originally from an early episode I think. Or the pilot?

[Jorge]

That was about South Park/Brian Boitano

It looks even weirder when it moves

[MissYouAllDay]

This is making want to see this movie.

[Jorge]

I am very interested in watching the Snyder version of this movie. The worst parts are the Whedonisms. Example:
Superman, to Batman: "You don't even like me."
Batman: "I don't... NOT like you."

Also a very ugly looking film at parts.

[Jorge]

I can't deny that there are a few parts I really enjoyed. The battle between the amazons and Steppenwolf was very cool, and a fight between Superman and... someone else I won't name because it might be a spoiler

I think the second worst thing to happen to this movie is the studio mandated running time. It suffers from Nolan-style ﹰBatman ﹰBegins editing. Just relentless

[Jorge]

I don't know where I'd rank this k comparison to Thor Ragnarok. It didn't make me as mad as that movie did. But it made me sad instead.

[MissYouAllDay]

I think the biggest problem for me is that once you get beyond batman and superman, the DC heroes are just so lame.

I mean, seriously, who gives a shit about cyborg?

[MissYouAllDay]

Even superman is pretty lame, really.

[VinylGuy]

That Superman cgi is really awful.

[Jorge]

I think the biggest problem for me is that once you get beyond batman and superman, the DC heroes are just so lame.

Who gave a shit about Thor 10 years ago? Ant Man?

Yeah, true, but cyborg just seems extra lame.

[LoathedVermin72]

Unlike Suicide Squad, which died in the editing room using Ayer's footage, this movie was patched together using stuff Snyder didn't even shoot, so is a director's cut even possible in any realistic way?

[bune]

The first DD cut of a film - double directors

By the way, we know this terrible exchange is from the reshoots because of Superman's CGI tumor lip.

It is actually kind of nice to have a very obvious visual indicator of when something is a reshoot

[Jorge]

Ben Affleck is a great Batman and I will be sad to see him leave the role when it is inevitably announced in the next few months. He is really good in this. More of a petty asshole than in BVS.

[Jorge]

One last thing: the way they bring back Superman is very creepy. And that's a story choice by Snyder, not a reshoots thing. Wish they would've gone with something different and less off-putting.

Or maybe it's good that they went with something so weird. I don't know. I'm still processing this bizarre movie.
