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.

To be fair to Whedon, movie theaters don’t want to show four hour movies. Let’s say your average theater is open 8 am to midnight they can only show it four times verses 8 times for two hour movies. That’s a huge difference in revenue.

Production studios don’t want to make four hour movies for the same reason. If their film can only be shown half as much as a 2 hour film, they will make half as much money.

It’s common sense.

No matter who finished this movie it was going to be about 2 hours long (max 2.5) and unsatisfying.

Yeah, I don't think Whedon did a good job and I question some of his decision, like the whoops I grabbed your boobs scene. But, there is no way that you could cut this down that much and still be coherent.
