its still so weird there is going to be these two versions of Justice league out there that will be so different, not just a directors cut from what ive read, a different story
@Kirwan i was going to say dont forget about Justice league...and then remembered this replaces that
Joss Whedon only used 30mins of footage that Synder shot. So we are getting three and a half hours of the footage he originally shot. Only filmed one new scene.
It’s going to be completely different.
was it that little? i knew there was a lot of unused footage but i thought a lot was also going to be just "remastered" like steppenwolf looks completely different etc
so wheedon came in and shot like and hour and a half more than snyder had originally ?
Yep, reshoots were 90mins of new footage and the little he did use he messed with the colour grading, edited entire characters out, swapped night to day. Changed the colour of super mans suit. Crap like that.
Synder quit because he couldn’t face fighting the studio heads after his family tragedy. They wanted a two hour movie so they could fit more screenings per day.
He was asking for closer to three hours, and had it almost cut ready for final effects. So not only did they pay for Synder to film about five hours of footage (to be edited down), but then paid Whedon for even more AND then paid another $70 million to finish the Synder Cut.
Obviously the people making those decisions have all been fired. The HBO Max release of this is an attempt to get the fans back onside, in preparation of the new Flash film that will have multiple Batmans in it. Otherwise known as the reset button.
Have to laugh at a story going around that Nolan (producer on these films) has forbidden Synder from ever seeing the Joss version.
How the mighty have fallen.

@crucial it was not a threat, just a hell of a lot of effort to go through for a flop

Can’t be a flop, it’s safe on a streaming service. All it needs to is get subscribers.
Even the shitty version made over 650 million on a $300 million budget. So add in the $70 mill extra, and DVDs, etc they are fine.

I am half way through. The stupid part where Mamoa flaps his arms to enter water and "I hear you can talk to fish" with the head tilt were thankfully edited out so I'm already a fan....
I'm enjoying this version. That's not something I expected as I do not rate Snyder at all. But this is better. A lot better. Steppenwolf is now menacing. Not on the same level as Thanos. Where hey actually managed to give a CGI character both charisma and humanity. But it's a huge improvement
Edit: Hit delete instead of edit. 12 hour days don't agree with me...

Mandy Moore suits the 1940s aesthetic like a glove. She is gorgeous.
No tits.
Nah, I'd take Kate Beckinsale in Pearl Harbour instead
You could also apply the statement about no tits.

Fucking loved this. Splosions n war n shit, but pretty tastefully done and showing the Japanese side as well.

You make one statement then contradict it in the next sentence. I’m confused

Zack Snyder’s Justice League movie review (2021) | Roger Ebert
This four-hour cut is the kind of brazen auteurist vision that Martin Scorsese was calling for when he complained (rightly) that most modern superhero movies don't resemble cinema as he's always understood and valued it.
Great review, covers the good and the bad.

Undoubtedly, but gorgeous and no tits together does not compute.
