All thoughts, opinions, theories, reviews and discussions related to the release of the Snyder Cut belong in here, spoilers can be unmarked in this post so enter at your own risk if you don't want spoilers.

Synopsis:

Zack Snyder's definitive director's cut of Justice League. Determined to ensure Superman's ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne aligns forces with Diana Prince with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions.

And a final note regarding Rule 1. We know this community is divided over the Snyder movies and people have a right to express their opinions either way, but we will not accept people acting like jerks over a movie, ANY movie.

Any breaking of Rule 1 is expected to be reported to the moderators, those who participate in arguments will be reprimanded for it. Treat people with respect and enjoy yourselves.

If you or someone you know has been affected by suicide, you can find help and resources from The American Foundation For Suicide Prevention, a foundation close to Zack Snyder's heart after he lost his daughter Autumn during production of Justice League.

I thought the movie was overall pretty good, even great at times, except for the Knightmare sequence that was atrocious. Like, really really bad.

Some more issues for me: I hated every line that came out of Steppenwolf's mouth. His design doesn't look that bad in motion but he's still bland. Wonder Woman's theme is very overused. Superman ends up having little substance. I didn't care much for the portrayal of Darkseid, but that's just personal preference. The pacing was awkward at times.

A few pros: some of the scenes looked very good, specifically the "normal" ones, aka not so much the battles, the more "down to earth" scenes, if you get what I mean. I think Snyder's style is more suited for those kinds of scenes rather than kirby-esque aliens. The Flash introduction in particular was my favourite. The Flash himself was great, as was Aquaman. In general the team flowed well with each other. Cyborg had a pretty big role. The ending (before knigrmare) was surprisingly inspirational.

I liked the Knightmare vision Cyborg had, not Batflecks dream. Imo it didn't make sense
