@nepia it’s the same basic plot, but the beginning is quite different. Even some of the scenes that you might think are the same are actually Whedon reshoots to add shirt jokes.

Lots of side by side comparisons if you care.

Main thing to check is the Affleck wig and his weight. In the 2017 version he drops up and down between scenes.

Weirdly, at the end he looks like he’s back to his Town shape. Very thin.

I heard that last scene with Martian manhunter was a Snyder reshoot for this cut, that’s why afflecks much thinner...and older

I thought he looked younger if anything. The entire epilogue was a reshoot.

Snyder has said that he filmed that MM scene with a John Stewart version of the Green Lantern, but the studio asked him to take it out. So the compromise was MM instead, 75% of the scene was the same.

Funny thing is he wasn’t supposed to do any reshoots but did them anyway, making the point it said Zac Snyder’s Justice League, so....

They need to do a documentary about this film, so much is unusual

Bones

@tim that'll teach them to not like surprises.

As I mentioned on another thread Snatch is still all kinds of awesome as is Lock Stock thanks in no small part to Mr Statham.

Will the magic still be there 21 years later ? to be honest I doubt it but I hope like fuck I’m wrong.

Machpants

@mn5 Very much appears NOT Lock Stock or Snatch, which is very comedy of errors and personalities, with violence. But more like other Statham movies, no personality killing machine. Not that this is a bad thing!

Bones

Pretty much seen it now though eh.

So he must have added in the earlier bit with MM as well? The shapeshifting.

Yep, but the difference is that one was always planned. He was due to finish the MM reveal in LA but then was forced off the project.

I’m just over half way through and really want to finish so I can watch the above, and screen rants pitch meeting etc, and listen to Fatman Beyond podcast. The only issue is I have to keep watching to finish
