I've heard it's a vast improvement on Whedon's version but four hours is a big timesink. I dunno if I have the energy to watch it.

I personally like long movies and can easily watch one all in one go... the issue for me is that it's VERY rare that I have 4 hours of uninterrupted free time to actually do that these days . Guess I could pretend to be sick one day when the kids are at school . So much harder to "pull a sickie" working from home though, you have to pretend to be properly half-dead or people still try to message you . |

Just finished it and I can't lie I thought it was awesome. It honestly didn't even feel over-long, although the first 3 parts basically fit in a load of content that could have been expanded into entire movies in themselves (e.g. there's practically an entire Cyborg origin movie scattered throughout the runtime).
But the one major thing that it has done - and it actually makes me feel sort of mad about WHedon's changes in this sense thinking back on it - is that it respects the others and isn't just a Superman fan-fest. Whedon turned Flash into a joke - he has moments of comic relief here but is NOT an incompetent rookie. Whedon (criminally) depowered WW and she absolutely kicks butt in this film, back to the power level she should be at in this timeframe (i.e. as strong as she was in BvS). Cyborg's abilities get a much bigger showcase, too. Basically the entire final sequence is epic and shows all of them as competent and powerful, and Supes is NOT used as a deus-ex-machina to swoop in. AND YET at the same time, Steppenwolf is a much more intimidating and convincing (and generally well fleshed out) villain, with clear goals and motivations. More specifically but a bit spoilers; Spoiler: But yeah tl;dr this is definite catharsis for any DC fan who doesn't just stan Superman, because it actually respects and elevates the other heroes and not just one. If I had one minus it would probably be that there is some very occasional cheesy dialogue that feels a little out of place. But the general pacing is so good, and the action is so on-point, it's easily overlooked. I also am unsure that the "epilogue" stuff was needed now that the DCEU has spun off in other directions, it feels like it was purely setting up stuff that is now not going to happen, and could just have been left off completely?

Also not to go on about Snyder cinematography (and I am a self-confessed fan) BUT come on, you just don't get screenshots like this from yucky Whedon League do you. Obviously plenty of the same influence is there but literally all of the best shots of the movie are new to this version. I've left off one of my personal favs as it's a massive final-battle spoiler . The two below are not really spoilery.

Ooo there's gonna be a movie with/about Zatanna She's one of my favourite minor Leaguers <3
I've not seen Promising Young Woman, any good? It's gonna be by Emerald Fennell, the writer-director of that. Her history in comics is a bit dark: Spoiler: I just googled Promising Young Woman, and Emerald Fennell clearly doesn't shy away from rape related things, so I wouldn't discount them using that book as a framework for the movie, but who knows! |

True It’s getting far better viewer ratings on IMDB so I’m thinking there may be a sequel / follow up eventually... given that money talks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

I'm still yet to watch the movie itself, but this scene is absolutely gorgeous. |

Yeah that was a standout for me, that’s the scene I took one of my screenshots from. It’s a stand-alone great piece of cinematography, I have no idea why they wouldn’t find room to squeeze it into the theatrical cut, other than a couple of things I guess... one is that it might have been hard to crop well for the cinema aspect ratio. I was a bit alarmed when I heard the Snyder cut was presented in 4:3 (old TV ratio) but after a couple of action sequences... I completely get it and why it actually works so much better for this types of movies. They can do so much with the verticality of that space. Beautiful. |

I don’t mind Supes and Lois really,it’s how they showcase his humanity but that said they probably highlighted it because it’s a huge part of what leads to the “injustice” plotline (Superman going dark after the death of Lois) and that’s also what the Batman dream sequence was setting up. I do actually agree though that, as it’s most likely not happening and WB has gone in a different direction with DC, I think the future dream sequence could have been cut. All it does is tease a movie that will never exist. |

Well being cynical... given that the new version is getting rave reviews.. even the IMDB viewer ratings are far better .. I just wondered if MONEY will talk and influence the decisions ?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |
