It's out now .

I'm sure some will hate watch it anyway. It has a 78% on RT on 144 reviews which is a pleasant surprise. I'll probably watch this weekend. Watched MOS last night and again and still love it. Going to watch bvs extended today hopefully so I can catch up. Hope people enjoy it that have been looking forward to it.

Been hearing some buzz that it’s a masterpiece.

I’ll try and watch it over the next few days. Would prefer to watch on my big screen than my phone. The boxy aspect ratio will look better.

I have no idea how or why people would watch a newly released movie on a phone, let alone, a massive superhero epic in which the Sound Design and Score are vitally important to the overall cinematic experience.

I go back and forth. Sometimes I like the privacy of watching on my phone with headphones

Well, I gotta say I'm surprised. I don't know if I would throw around the word masterpiece, but the snyder cut was really good. The aspect ratio didn't bother me after the first five minutes, and until the epilogue never once did it feel bloated or indulgent. I mean, shit, it's four ****ing hours long. I didn't even expect to watch it in one sitting. But it worked. It really worked.

I kinda hope they find a way to keep it going. As impossible as I know that is.

**DaneMcCloud** · 03-18-2021, 10:07 PM

I’m 8 minutes in and holy shit, I wish I was sitting in an IMAX theater right now.

Christopher Nolan was an executive producer?

Bud, we'll need some additional information. What are you opening?

Just finished it. That was infinitely better than the bullshit version we got at launch.

I’m 45 minutes in and that’s better than the other shit as a whole.

**DaneMcCloud** · 03-19-2021, 11:19 AM

I got 2 hours and 41 minutes in before calling it at midnight. I stopped a few times because for me, it began to drag.

I’m enjoying the extended backstories for the lessor explored characters and like the feel over the movie better overall but I just do not like the visuals at all. Too dark, too yellow, too brown, etc and I really hate the voice characterizations. They’re way too modulated and affected. In the Marvel films, Ronan The Accuser and Thanos sound “evil” but their dialog is crystal clear whereas I’m straining to understand Darksied and Steppenwolf.

I’m excited to see Cavill without the VFX to remove his mustache (which was so fake and annoying) but I can’t imagine watching this film more than once. I’m just not really invested in this iteration of the characters and the look of the VFX and overall visuals are just a real turnoff for me.

Finally finished it last night. It was much better than the original. But it still had some pretty glaring flaws. Some of the CGI was really rough. Like it felt unfinished. It had the same drab greyscale look of Man of Steel too. Steppenwolf looked silly. Pretty much all of the baddies looked silly. They did some time jumps here and there that were pretty confusing. I really enjoyed more of the heroes' backstories. They did Cyborg justice in this one. But there's no reason for this movie to be 4 hours long. They could have trimmed an hour and not lost much if any value. Just about all the battles were weirdly unbalanced.

Regarding some of the confusion:

Spoiler!

It was enjoyable, but overall just too much of a mess.

Wallcrawler · 03-19-2021, 01:17 PM

Not by any means a DC fan. Im Marvel fanboy through and through.

But this movie was ****ing good. In no way, shape or form should anyone ever watch, or reference the theatrical release again.

Steppenwolf looked a thousand times better than his "Zombie with a dumbass hat" theatrical look.

All the corny, campy bullshit was removed.

Shit like Flash being a total pussy, being afraid of "bugs, bad guys, guns, and doing battle". And also drowning. The ohhh gross bug guts moment, and the awkwardly land missionary atop wonder woman moment.

Superman's corny as **** entrance is totally gone, "I like truth, and ima pretty big fan of justice too." and the dumbass exchange between him and Batman. Just vomit worthy dialogue deleted.

With the erasure of the entirely unnecessary russian family, Superman no longer idioticly bails on the literal fight for the entire planet, to go save some civilians.

Also leads to the removal of "Hurr durr this guy still bothering you?" Line.

Just a far better paced, constructed, and thankfully, written in the dialogue department. The R rating helped with more violence being added in the final act of the film.

Entire scenes are stripped out entirely or repurposed, and it all makes for a better experience.

Its a longshot, but Id like to see the next chapter with Darkseid now knowing where Anti Life is, and his inevitable invasion.

Regarding some of the confusion: Spoiler! Why was Martian Manhunter posing as Martha Kent talking to Lois? The hell was that scene about? And the epilogue was a huge WTF. I really didn't understand that. The unbalanced fights were kind of disappointing. It was either heroes destroying parademons, or Steppenwolf kicking the lesser heroes asses, or Superman kicking Steppenwolf's ass. It was clear(too obvious) that the lesser heroes couldn't really defeat Steppenwolf let alone Darkseid. And what was the purpose of the other middleman guy? DaSaad? Pointless. The backstory of the motherboxes seemed really off too. Like Earth's gods and heroes battled Darkseid and saved the world at the last minute. Now let's leave a couple guards watching these infinitely powerful indestructible magic boxes that almost wiped out all life. That oughta do? Superman's resurrection was weird in this one same as the previous version. The way he went from "Kill everyone" to "Let's be friends again" felt disingenuous. It was enjoyable, but overall just too much of a mess. __________________
