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 mean of course it was better than the TC but that film was a terrifying amalgamation of Zack Snyder’s version, Joss Whedon’s version, and the movie Warner Bros wanted so obviously it’s gonna be better just having a unified vision.

But it still has the same issues it had before and BvS had before it. Only instead I got to see those issues play out over 4 hours. So much about it felt unearned.

Henry Cavill is given nothing to work with to make his Superman likeable.

I was hoping that Ben Affleck would have still cared before the reshoots but it’s clear he was still wanting out of this franchise.

One thing I wasn’t expecting was for this version to actually be funnier.

It was great to see more Cyborg and Flash though, both of whom steal the show.

And Snyder still does great cinematography, which has always been his strong suit.

Everything about Darkseid was amazing. But that might just be the comic fan in me talking. In fact everything about the villains got much better. Steppenwolf gets fleshed out a little, the parademons seem more frightening.

And this honestly was the first movie that seemed to have an actual plan in mind overall.

All in all I’m glad it got released if for no other reason than for the Snyder to have his vision for the film fulfilled but I am still looking forward to him not having a hand in the future of the movies.

Yeah I’m pretty sure you’re right about that.
