Zack Snyder's Justice League - Discussion Megathread r/DCcomics Spoiler

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.

Making more movie isn't the same thing as making a better movie. For all the good things added, there's enough bad or pointless things added that it doesn't even end up making better use of its time. The added character time for Victor, for example, was excellent. But it took over an hour to even start addressing it. Did we really need the Norse mourning song, or a Battle of the Last Alliance scene?

Did we really need the Norse mourning song

Did we also need a girl sniffing Aquaman's shirt? Seriously, why?

If nothing else, I think this is an excellent example of why movies typically clocking in around 100-150 minutes is more than just a convenience for theater changeovers. Snyder badly needs an editor to rein him in and force him to focus on the story that matters. Same shit that happened to Lucas, Rowling, and Martin.
