Zack Snyder’s Justice League Coming to HBO Max 2021
- Thread starter spookyduzt
- Start date
I saw Justice Leage a couple years ago, and yeah it was a really forgettable movie. Is Snyder re-filming anything or just editing in cut scenes to make this mediocre film even longer?
I feel like if anything, Zach Snyder seems to be a great guy to work with even if he's creatively limited/weak when it comes to writing and ideas. The whole cast happy to come back and work with him and every exec involved happy to give this a go and finance it with another 30 mil? Dude must be good to work with.
I liked MoS and the BVS theatrical cut (mostly, it was too overstuffed tho) and I like the cast/music. Having more BatFleck and Super Cavill is good in my books.

Seems that 75% of what he shot ended up on the cutting room floor, probably they'll finish that and whatever the original script and plan was.
It will never stop being hilarious to me that a mythological director's cut by a director who almost exclusively makes terrible films was as in demand as it was.
People remember we live in bizarro time now.
There's every chance this will somehow end up being the capekino people have been memeing about for years.

Doesn't matter how nice he is. He ruined people's childhoods. Obviously that means he's a POS.
It's the version he intended to release, but couldn't due to the death of his daughter which made him drop out of the final edit. WB hired Joss Whedon to come in and essentially reshoot over half the movie to make it "brighter" and have more jokes. Zack's theatrical version would've probably been 3 hours long, but the version we got was 2 hours on the dot.
the fan base he has amassed will never stop astonishing me. Even his best films really are just... not good imo (300, dawn of the dead remake). Guess some people resonate with him for some reason.
I honestly think 300 is a bad film. Always has been. I recognize I'm in the minority on that though.
I don't think it's bad just mediocre. And that's where he peaked imo, every movie after has been worse.
Damn, I empathize. This is how I feel every time someone says something positive about an MCU movie and is immediately trounced by comments telling them they have shit taste and should learn to watch other movies (the last two Endgame threads). I've been ripped apart for liking the MCU. I've also been insulted for not hating Rise of Skywalker enough and for not hating Justice League more than BvS. Seriously.
There's definitely a sea change on this forum lately that blurs the lines between criticizing a movie and flat-out attacking someone just for liking it.
While I probably hate BvS more than any movie I've ever seen in my life, I still love DC, Batman, Superman, I'm a Man of Steel apologist and I even like some of Snyder's other movies. I'm really interested to see how this turns out.
I hate BvS but I don't want to mistreat people for liking something that I don't. I'm sorry if you've ever been treated shitty for liking a Snyder movie.
Oh, so the meme is real now?
I mean, this is a timeline where Kinberg got to make Dark Phoenix despite his track record, and the same applies (albeit to a lesser extent) with Avi Arad with Venom. I don't see WB allowing Snyder to complete his vision as any less astonishing or incredulous.
I just hope that we get more Batfleck out of it and it's not as incoherent as BvS.

I have no faith that Snyder can fix Justice League with his directors cut and I think he might actually make it worse
He's just not that great of a director sorry

Fans boosted an idea that there was some sort of "Snyder cut" of the film that exists. WB is now having Snyder go back and finish this to get people on HBO Max. It's a smart move.
The confusing part is how fans expect this to somehow make the movie not terrible when Batman v. Superman was already a Snyder cut and already terrible.
Just because they can doesn't mean that they should.
Maybe we end up getting a better villain than whats-his-face.

100%.
Afleck was the only thing that worked in that movie and he did not deserve the abuse that was leveled at him.
He was a great Batman. Decisions that were made with the character had nothing to do with him.
They probably liked the BvS Directors Cut, because they like and agree with Snyder's vision for the DC universe. They like that its edgy and different from the comics and the MCU. The film being atrocious changes none of that for them, because they aren't looking for good filmmaking.
This is nuts, gotta admit I thought the #snydercut was always a myth, but here we are. Worst part is that it will empower those crazy nutjobs and their online harrassment.
Also don't see how any cut can save this movie, but it's a trainwreck I'm definitely gonna watch.

Bring it.
I always wondered what politician thought "btw, lets sanction a public statue and have it be this creepily realistic death skeleton over the city" and did it. Or maybe hte artist was told to make a regular statue, but decided to go to down with it. There was probably political backlash from like Karen moms who were creeped out but then internet goth nerds thought it was cool and I guess the rest of the internet decided it was meme worthy, but only if he was called "Skelly McSkullface". And that's the statue Batman is intimidatingly standing on, Skelly McSkullface.
I'll never understand it.
When the director of said edgy films talks about his idea of dark is that Batman would get raped in prison, I don't understand how his "vision" could ever be trusted.
It's at the point where genuine conversation can't be had, and should be given warnings or bannable for thread derails
I know, which is why the creepy skellington was made in the first place. In other cities, it wouldn't even have happened. But that isn't the same as the public reception of it being bland and uninteresting.
Agreed, it's just needlessly mean spirited.
I am an unapologetic MCU fan with zero vested interest in the DCEU but can still appreciate why people would want to see a directors cut of a movie, free from the meddling of studio execs. Regardless of whether it's any better, I think fans have every right to be excited, if only to settle their curiosity.
TFA, while a retread and unoriginal, was easily the best of the 3. Of the two directors, I'd want the one that understands the material and how trilogies are supposed to work. Not the one that threw the whole thing under a bus while screaming, "subvert expectations!"
I'll preface this by saying I haven't actually seen the movie myself yet, and am just repeating what I've read and heard from other people. So take this for what it is, I guess.
Zack Snyder was the original director of the movie, but he stepped away from it after his daughter committed suicide. Joss Whedon was then brought in to finish the film, and in the process, the film's tone was changed to be more lighthearted, and scenes were either changed drastically or cut entirely, to the point where the theatrical movie apparently isn't very similar to what Snyder had intended for it to be. Now, years after its release, WB is allowing Snyder to create and release the film as he had originally wanted it to be, seemingly with little intervention.
I think it has to do with set up and pay off. There were a number of things that Snyder set up in his previous films that were completely abandoned in the studio cut of Justice League. They are hopeful seeing Snyder's true vision in the end will be higher quality if only because he'll be telling a complete story (ignoring the fact he wanted JL o end on a cliffhanger that led into Darkseid movies).
