Justice League: So, who's seen the Snyder Cut?

[jaycrockett]

I had to stop watching at 2 hours because I disliked it so much. I liked but didn't love the theatrical release, but this was worse in every way I could think of. Every scene was 50 percent too long. Most of the added scenes were extraneous and every scene that was removed (the whedon reshoots I assume) were missed by me. Some of the best lines were gone. The music selection is also terrible.
Like someone else said it really is amazing the difference two different people can have on the final product of a movie.

One of the best comments i've seen about liking is it makes the original look like it was bought on wish.com

There's something off about the special effects too . . . they seem incomplete in a lot of spots . . . can't remember if I felt this way with the theatrical cut.

Tries to do too much which is why it is 4 hours. I do think it looked better. I want the bruce wayne mad max dream movie instead. I also love Jared Leto and am fine with being the only one.

Compared to the Whedon version, it (a) looked so much better and (b) every character felt real. Cyborg was just a different character to the one in Whedon's film; he had depth, and a full story arc. Aquaman was less surfer quip dude. The bad guys felt like genuine threats. And not having a CGI face on Henry Cavill is a relief.

I actually preferred Whedons approach to Cyborg, I liked the “whose the monster” quote and Victor learning about his powers gradually rather than his father providing an exposition dump via taperecorder.
And really Cyborg can autorepair crushed machines and has control of all the worlds nukes and its economy too?

The only one I think had an improved story was the Flash (and we got to see Iris too). I agree with others that Batman was lacking in his tactical planning and trying to keep him up with the otherwise gonzo crew missed an opportunity

The final assault on Steppenwolf was better, especially without the red sky
but what was the point of putting Superman in the black suit?

Straight homage to the Death of Superman story in the comic books. They didn’t give him the beard and the mullet though!

Next you'll be saying art is subjective!

So my overwhelming feeling after watching that film is one I get when finishing a great book series — that sense of loss that you’re at the end and you won’t see more of these characters. That’s what happens when you get to know characters and they resonate with you emotionally, like when Game of Thrones or Lord of the Rings ended. I didn’t feel that at all after the Whedon version.

I get what you are saying, except GoT was written into the ground by the end and it killed the feeling.

Well, OK. I wasn't trying to begin another GoT ending debate.
