  • I only watched the original version once in theaters and never again. Glad too because just enough time had passed for me to forget about what a mess that movie was. Zack Snyder's Justice League is 4 hrs and 2 min and the biggest difference for me was that I really enjoyed this film.

  • Haven't watched it yet, like Rapha I thought the original was terrible.
    I will probably watch it but if it isn't really good it may be in 1 hour segments

  • Like pretty much everyone else, I was not very impressed with the 2017 version of the Justice League movie. There was a valid reason it was not good. Two different directors trying to make one movie!!

    Zack Snyder started the movie and ended up departing early without finishing the job leaving Joss Whedon to pick up the slack. Mr. Snyder had a very good reason to leave. His daughter had committed suicide. If that's not a valid reason to quit, I don't know what is!! I'm not going to comment on Mr. Whedon's current situation, but he did not do a terrific job finishing up Justice League.

    I'm looking forward to this new (technically old?) version. I'm a little confused why fans are upset that the movie is over four hours long. The same fans that will watch WandaVision in one or to sittings?

  • I also did NOT like that original film, so many scenes that just made no sense to me, but this one was waaay different. I suppose same storyline, but not even close lol...fyi once the credits actually roll, theres nothing after, you dont have to sit through those also lol... but the half hour prior...Labeled "Epilogue" confusing but great lol...

    @Raph...at the very end scene, all i could do was stare at his mouth lol...didnt it look weird as ****....lol

  • I really REALLY didn't like Man of Steel or Batman vs Superman, so I'm staying far away from this. I saw Whedon's version on tv. It wasn't good, but better than the others.

  • Man this movie was so great I decided to watch it again tonight (I know another 4 hours). I think what sets it apart from other superhero films is that every character gets treated with respect on screen, even the villains. Snyder did an amazing job. Warner Bros. is out of their mind for not even considering a Snyder Justice League and/or Superman sequel.

    I also came across this bit of interesting news today. Apparently Snyder had plan to have John Stewart/Green Lantern appear in the JL cut, but the studio made him take it out. Imagine how great that would have been! Seriously Warner Bros. has no clue what fans want. https://www.indiewire.com/2021/03/zack-snyder-quit-snyder-cut-green-lantern-1234625613/

    You mean the Joker scene? I have never liked Jared Leto's performance as Joker. I let it pass on this film since it was a dream sequence. And it did add something to Batman's character.

  • Just finished watching it, way better than the first release.
    Why was this not in letterbox format?
    If you hated the original I suggest you watch this version to get that viewing out of your head Laughing

  • @Canuck, Snyder filmed the movie in 35mm in order to keep it close to a 1.33:1 aspect ratio. His original intention was to release Justice League as an IMAX theater experience.

    He explained at the 2020 Justice Con, “My intent was to have the movie, the entire film, play in a gigantic 4:3 aspect ratio on a giant IMAX screen. Superheroes tend to be, as figures, they tend to be less horizontal. Maybe Superman when he’s flying, but when he’s standing, he’s more of a vertical. Everything is composed and shot that way, and a lot of the restoration is sort of trying to put that back. Put these big squares back… it’s a completely different aesthetic. It’s just got a different quality and one that is unusual. No one’s doing that.”

  • I enjoyed the first movie just for the fact that I could FINALLY see the assembled Justice League, but compared to the Snyder Cut, the first one is forgettable. Anyone who hasn't seen the Snyder Cut should definitely check it out.

    I was reminded again of what someone said when comparing Marvel to DC . . . Marvel are men trying to be gods, DC is gods trying to be men. I love both franchises though and support just about any super-hero movie.

    Warner would be crazy not to take this further. The movie is literally strewn with seeds for multiple potential future projects focusing on each individual member and more.
