yup they deserve almost 3 hour long movies and two parters as well...too bad it got butchered back then ...but now..here it is..in all its glory..the snyder vision reall life graphic novel
The theatrical cut makes you laugh at the characters and make fun of them and the Snyder cut makes you cry for them and be with them, that’s the biggest part of why this is so much better for me
I went and watched the theatrical again, it's on HBO Max, and it does capture the essence of this except for the different, crappier ending. Obviously this has more character building because it is 4hrs long. The theme of this was what it should be, the different characters becoming a team and coming together. And the theatrical was more like Marvel style and also was Batman trying to get Wonder Woman to realize her full potential and to become the future leader. My rating would be Zack's is a 9.5 and I'll change Joss's from a 4 to a 6.
@@albertjackinson I was one who criticized Zack harshly since BvS I did enjoy MoS. But as time went on and I got older and more interested in appreciating his interpretation and artistic style I began to love his SnyderVerse. This movie really put an anchor of emotions on me in a positive way. If HBO Max were to allow Zack to pick this up again I'd be happy.
@Daniel Chávez It's a reference to the last line in Back to the Future, where Doc Brown says to Marty, "Roads? Where we're going we don't need any roads," right before the DeLorean achieves flight.
I saw the Snyder cut 5 times. I love it so much. The 4 hours flew by each time. It's such an emmersive experience. I hope they restore the Snyder verse.
More or less the Joker scene at the end was Zach Snyder admitting that he may never do a DC movie again and wanted a Batman Joker scene together. So he added it in for fan service and for himself wanting to direct that iconic scene of a Batman interacting with a Joker.
Suicide Squad came insanely close, literally the only thing separating Batman from Joker at one point was a car roof, but I'm so thankful this Cut went there.
@MortalGamerDC1 85 I've been looking at the scene as a prequel to the "Knightmare" sequence from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, I personally consider them part of the original timeline before Bruce got the warning from future-Barry.
@@mattb6369 Justice League 2 would actually mostly taken part in A knightmare timeline, Superman would still be brainwashed by Darkseid but as it is not the same timeline, events would be different.

I straight up LOVED this movie. The 4 hours flew by in my opinion. Every single aspect of it felt improved from the previous version. I would give the theatrical cut a 5/10 and i'd honestly give this one a 9.5/10
6 out of 10 for me. would've been 7 out of 10 if it was so damn slow. Pretty sure it could've been a 3 hour movie if there wasn't so much slow motion lol
I love how this movie proves definitively that Zack had a plan for the DCEU. He had character arcs in mind. Man of Steel, BvS and JL were supposed to be a contiguous story, not meant to be taken in pieces. You watch the characters change and evolve through their journey. Clark learns his place in the world and how to become a symbol of hope and inspiration. Bruce learns how to let go of the hatred, cynicism and fear that he held on to for so many years and learned how to regain his sense of justice and honor. I know a lot of people maligned MoS and BvS but god damn, i can't help but love them even more in retrospect with ZSJL finally here.
@@change023 ahhh. A DC fan I see 😂 congrats on the snyders cut for the first time in decades DC finally has at least 1 good movie. It's better than whedon's but not as great as the storylines of the MCU. Accept the fact man, there's a reason why the top 10 grossing films of all time had 5 or 6 MCU movies xD
*Video Spoiler* *Matt's DCEU Ratings:* - *Man of Steel* = Pretty good. Don't love, don't hate. Hans Zimmer incredible. Appreciate different narratives between fathers. Visually good. Wouldn't watch again. *6.5/10* - *Batman Vs Superman* = Shot beautifully, opening scene great. So many people with little backstory. Why is this the second movie? Beginning great, middle horrible, end is ok. *5.5/10* - *Justice League (The Snyder Cut)* = Characters looked fantastic. Don't like superman coming back. Iffy on time travel in movies. Most beautiful movie cinematically. Many Bi-Gon Jim moments. *8.5/10*
I think this is actually similar to my opinions. I mean, I usually totally disagree with Matt, but there’s a first time for everything. I really think they should’ve seen Wonder Woman and Suicide Squad first though. Especially because of that ending with Joker.
Man of Steel is underrated IMO. Snyder Cut and MoS are the best DCEU films. BvS is good (except for MARTHA!) WW was pretty good. I haven't seen WW84 or Aquaman
I've only pumped my fists in the air in two Comic book movie moments so far.... 1. All the Heroes charging forward in Avengers Endgame 2. The Flash going back in time to save the universe... This movie deserves so much credit than it received...
@@kaizenzenkai402 i shouldnt have to use the baathroom in a movie, thats hwo you can tell it's too long lmfao love how people are pretending a 5 hour film ISNT unreasonably long, it only stands out because of how shit the whedon cut was lmao
See, I loved this movie so much, but that one moment annoyed me. I really think that could’ve been a great scene between Martha and Lois, but that kinda undermined it and I didn’t understand why it was there. They could’ve just had the little ending with Martian Manhunter.
@@RS-qc4tg I agree. That scene is so powerful and well written. You really understand and feel their grief and you get to watch them bond of that, but no, we need big reveal. I love Snyder and DC, so it was cool to see, but it ruined the scene
While I understand the compliant that Martian manhunter was Included for fan service. I really appreciate that he is in this movie. Since I remember seeing concept art of him being the general from MOS (this means that Snyder wanted to include his character from the beginning of the DCEU I wonder what forced him to get rid of that)
@@rodrigogonzalez5708 Pretty sure it was something to do with not being able to fit it in. But something that I dislike about the Snyder Cut is that WB made Snyder change Green Lantern to Martian Manhunter for the ending scene. We were originally going to get our introduction to Green Lantern there. (Hence why we see Lanterns in this film and not have them referenced or shown in any of the other DCEU movies)
I haven’t seen the Snyder Cut myself yet but I couldn’t resist watching this when it came out. Just from what I saw in the video, it’s 100x better than the theatrical version and addresses most of the problems I had with it. Very excited to see it myself.
52:00 In terms of Flash reversing time or going into the future/past, that’s Flash for ya. Lol He’s done that in the animated stuff, comics, games, the CW Flash show, ect. He’s so fast that can he can do all that. But it does come with a cost, and he doesn’t always do it all the time either. I’m not sure if Flash reversing time a tiny bit here will change anything, but I think it was a nice moment for him to truly shine as The Flash since the theatrical cut treated him like a joke. But to each their own.
well probably yeah. WB hates snyder now for some reason. This only got made thanks to the direct order from WarnerMedia which owns HBO and WB and is owned by AT&T. Sadly i dont think they will step in again to restore the synderverse and let that decision be made by WB. and WB wont restore it.
@@hullmees666 it all depends on how far they are on their new projects like the new Batman or black Superman. Also I don't think Ben Affleck wants to play Batman anymore.
Steppenwolfs outfit/look in this movie is the same or very close to how steppenwolf looks in batman v superman ending. Its wierd how Weadon changed steppenwolf in Josstice League, even tho BvS just gave them his look.
Actually, that is the one thing we can't blame Whedon for (that and the runtime). WB execs forced Zack to change the design because it was "too scary" or something like that, but yeah I agree that it shouldn't have been changed
@@213SEMPERFI not imo Deadpool came after deathstroke as a parody, and to rub it in dc’s face, they made Deadpool’s name wade wilson as another parody to SLADE Wilson
Absolutely loved this film! Zack really delivered big time - yes Virginia, the Snyder Cut was real - and yes, it’s glorious!! The film is so cinematic - Zack’s stunning visuals with this music - not just Junkie XL but Zack’s song choices - I just loved the Barry and Iris scene and that version of ‘Song To The Siren’ - just beautiful!!! This film is a Work Of Art - I just loved it!!!!
It was crazy how many good scenes were taken out of the movie. One in particular was the Cyborg scene with the single mother who gets invicted. The actress who played that mother tweeted on Twitter asking if her part was in Zacks cut because it was cut out of the Weedon version. There was just so much depth for the characters.
@@gzz8551 that's okey. I was referring to the reaction of the group in the video when Matt said that sentence. Nevertheless, I hated second movie and love the first one
@@gzz8551 based on your comments on this vid you don’t like dc movies, and that’s fine, but they’re not all critically bad and you’re telling everyone in these comments how much you hated something they liked
I'm kind of disappointed that you skipped your reaction to Flash's big moment. Its my favorite part of the movie, and I came to your reaction specifically to see your reaction to it
I haven't actually seen the Snyder cut yet so I just watched the intro and will be watching the rest of this video later but... the tin foil on Cyborg falling apart in your skit was 😆🤣😆🤣
Jeremy: *_Wandavision_* - "... _disparate parts_ ..." Jeremy: *_Justice League: The Synder Cut_* - "... _disparate parts_ ..." Me: You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means.
As soon as Holden said a word from today's sponsor I fast forward through it but then I saw a frame of Matt in a cape and I was like nah nevermind I'm watching this 🤣🤣🤣
I too loved the Snyder Cut. But we shouldn't be suprised because Warner Bros has said its a one and done from the moment the Snyder Cut was approved to be finished. $300 million budget for a film is not feasible whatsoever in a time like this and most definitely not possible to make the box office return on HBO Max. To finish the Snyder Cut really was $70 million because next to everything was shot already.
When I saw the flash reverse time scene, I was dying to see Matt’s reaction. I’ve been waiting for this video ever since I watched the movie and I’m so happy to see you guys enjoyed it! Very pleasantly surprised that Matt enjoyed it so much! Felt worried about the runtime being a downer but it really made for an absolute superhero epic
I thought that bringing superman from the dead was at the cost that he will be under the influence of darkseid. It's not just an empty death the way marvel does over and over. Hence the nightmare future.
I thought the Zack Snyder cut was a far superior movie compared to the theatrical version. And they needed it to be 4 hours so they could expand upon Cyborg, Aquaman, and Flash's characterizations which the DCEU blew by trying to catch up with the MCU in terms of the ensemble superhero movie.
I’m actually scratching my head at the fact that so many people are complaining that it’s a long movie if tho they didn’t think it wouldve been ñ. I’m trying to figure how they didn’t expect that. We’ve been hearing people say how this movie was gonna have backstories and other characters and new scenes and a whole added ending on top of what was already there. The first thing that came to my mind when I heard about what this movie was gonna have weeks ago, was that this is gonna be a long ass movie. I get that they don’t like it but everyone i see is acting really surprised that the movie is this long.
Well, MCU needed all those standalone movies to make Avengers.. while Snyderverse only need MoS, BvS, and ZSJL, it works.. people even love ZSJL way better than MCU ever did tbh.
I feel that its always people who don't read comics that have an issue with the seriousness of the DC movies vs the MCU. Growing up reading comics we had Elseworlds where DC characters were all kinds of dark. Batman Red Rain, Superman Red Son, Rock of Ages and even now with Injustice. By comparison people who only know Superman from the Donner movie are always like "but he's supposed to be hopeful". Well, that interpretation is but others don't have to be anything but what they want to be. I have no problem with them going dark as long as it ends up being a good story.
I think dark is relative. MCU is just as dark in certain themes it just doesn't look as dark and characters actually have fun personalities... Which is amazing because Flash and Cyborg stole the show here. I like only like half of the JL team. Good movie, good action and costumes and story is cool.
It’s coming next week. They said they would hold off on wandavision until they watched the Snyder Cut and yesterday Matt posted a video on his story of them recording something on Disney +.
It may or may not be the best comic book superhero team-up movie of all time, but it's certainly the boldest, most auteurist film the genre has ever produced. It breaks most of the established rules that mega blockbusters are supposed to play by for universal acclaim and success. Yet despite this, it still engenders the same grandiose, rewarding payoff that sends audiences home uplifted and inspired.
Flash tapping into speed force and saves the world is the best scene hands down ever... And the choice of music when he saves iris... God damn... What was wrong with Whedon....
No matter which version you prefer, I don't see how anyone can look at that finale, featuring The Flash, and say we can cut that..... Who thought THAT was a good idea?
I am one of these people and i will tell you why it should be cut. Because it is just spectacle and entirely void of meaning. I would prefer most action / spectacle scenes to carry some weight behind them. Using your special ability to "rewind time", that you established earlier should be used with caution due to potential after effects and fuck ups, is actually entirely free of this setback when the situation involves ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION. On top of that, it renders any and all stakes meaningless because the Flash can rewind time at will, essentially, however many times he wants. The ability is not dependent on a gadget or a condition outside his own control, it's always accessible to him, in contrast to, let's say,every other movie where time travel requires all sorts of things to be achieved. Things went wrong? Boom, time travel, everything is fixed now. Things went to shit again? No worries, let's try again. I hope that answers your question. If you are fine with pure spectacle, good on you. But it could have been so much more than JUST that. And that applies to the entire movie by the way.
@@marorerimeraremaro2533 it was his ONLY option. To say it was meaningless, is ridiculous. But, if you prefer him pushing a truck a few miles away, by all means.
@@riteousrighthand6144 It was his only option, true, but a lot of people are pretending like he pulled a trigger that has massive consequences if pulled and that he is very hesitant about doing so due to the implications. But what you said was my entire point, as it is the only option, there are no god damn implications.
@@marorerimeraremaro2533 those implications are going to bear fruit, in his solo, though. If we're talking about the ramifications of his having to "break his rule".
@@riteousrighthand6144 Yes that's what i am referring to. And i am cool with them being seen in the solo film, but we can't say "he caused this" because there was no alternative. For an example of what i am trying to say let's take Endgame. Ironman didn't have to use the gauntlet at the end to finish the fight, he had his life to think of and all was not lost (YET). But he takes the risk to himself and pulls the trigger, thus paying the price. Now let's take the same scenario, but Ironman takes all the stones, however, everyone else is already dead. Every goofball has been killed and Tony is the last one standing. There are no stakes in this situation, everyone is already gone, there are no other options left to account for. The impact of the scene is now, not the same, and a lot less powerful. In Snyder's version, the situation could have been improved by, for example, having the team save the day without fucking up at first, and as things are clearing up, we see the family (that's in the Whedon cut) and as they exit their house, the roof collapses on them. And as Flash tries to rescue them, he understands that at this point in time, saving them is impossible (the rocks have already made contact with their bodies or something) but in order for this bright day to not get stained by this clearly avoidable accident, he pushes time back and saves them. And then, you have the aftermath to deal with in the solo movie, which were caused by his feelings of guilt for not being vigilant or fast enough to rescue the family without breaking the time barrier.
It was my introduction to The DCEU And I’ve GOT to say I was impressed, Im now on Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice And both of those are without a doubt, better then Endgame
Joss actually started moving in before Zack left and was still directing. They started pushing him out, so he and Deborah made the decision to then leave the film.
Yeap true. Everyone thought Zack left willingly, but that wasn’t the case. The whole story behind on what really happened, and Zack explained this is quite sad.
It was shot on that 4:3 ratio. Making it widescreen would mean pushing the frame in and cropping top and bottom, not revealing the sides. We would be losing images, not gaining them.
I still feel like I haven't seen classic Superman in Snyder's movies. There hasn't been that moment where I feel, "This is the man is the best of all of us."

I know a lot of people maligned MoS and BvS but god damn, i can't help but love them even more in retrospect with ZSJL finally here.
Wether the plan was good or bad at least there was one at all
Perfect comment
I love how Matt was able to follow along with this and know what was happening but struggled with LOTR
He’s learning to adapt to his surroundings!
Ofcourse. He watched 20+ marvel movies who has super deep storylines. He can now adapt easily to other movies
@@seabuschan5677 deep? Maybe like 3 of them
@@change023 ahhh. A DC fan I see 😂 congrats on the snyders cut for the first time in decades DC finally has at least 1 good movie. It's better than whedon's but not as great as the storylines of the MCU. Accept the fact man, there's a reason why the top 10 grossing films of all time had 5 or 6 MCU movies xD
right? haha
Even in the sponsor skit cyborg is more of a character than he was in the theatrical release
*Video Spoiler*
*Matt's DCEU Ratings:*
- *Man of Steel* = Pretty good. Don't love, don't hate. Hans Zimmer incredible. Appreciate different narratives between fathers. Visually good. Wouldn't watch again. *6.5/10*
- *Batman Vs Superman* = Shot beautifully, opening scene great. So many people with little backstory. Why is this the second movie? Beginning great, middle horrible, end is ok. *5.5/10*
- *Justice League (The Snyder Cut)* = Characters looked fantastic. Don't like superman coming back. Iffy on time travel in movies. Most beautiful movie cinematically. Many Bi-Gon Jim moments. *8.5/10*
I think this is actually similar to my opinions. I mean, I usually totally disagree with Matt, but there’s a first time for everything. I really think they should’ve seen Wonder Woman and Suicide Squad first though. Especially because of that ending with Joker.
Man of Steel is underrated IMO. Snyder Cut and MoS are the best DCEU films. BvS is good (except for MARTHA!) WW was pretty good. I haven't seen WW84 or Aquaman
Sounds about right
@@RS-qc4tg Yeah I thought the same if they had watched Wonder Woman first too they would have known about the Amazons
Hmm, I always thought is was By-gone Jim, lol
When Jenna asked who Aquamans father was I wouldve loved if someone just deadpanned out: Boba Fett.

*"What is a Chuck?"*

Now that we know he can sit through 4 hours we need him to sit through the Watchmen Ultimate Cut for 3 and a half hours
Maybe just the director's cut, no need to push it too far
The Ma Kent transformation into (spoiler) was such a delightful fanboy moment. My reaction practically matched Holden's...with a few claps added.
See, I loved this movie so much, but that one moment annoyed me. I really think that could’ve been a great scene between Martha and Lois, but that kinda undermined it and I didn’t understand why it was there. They could’ve just had the little ending with Martian Manhunter.
@@RS-qc4tg I agree. That scene is so powerful and well written. You really understand and feel their grief and you get to watch them bond of that, but no, we need big reveal. I love Snyder and DC, so it was cool to see, but it ruined the scene
that Zack had to guts to do that was amazing. cause some might feel that the moment between Martha and Lois was too sacred to touch.
While I understand the compliant that Martian manhunter was Included for fan service. I really appreciate that he is in this movie. Since I remember seeing concept art of him being the general from MOS (this means that Snyder wanted to include his character from the beginning of the DCEU I wonder what forced him to get rid of that)
@@rodrigogonzalez5708 Pretty sure it was something to do with not being able to fit it in. But something that I dislike about the Snyder Cut is that WB made Snyder change Green Lantern to Martian Manhunter for the ending scene. We were originally going to get our introduction to Green Lantern there. (Hence why we see Lanterns in this film and not have them referenced or shown in any of the other DCEU movies)
I haven’t seen the Snyder Cut myself yet but I couldn’t resist watching this when it came out. Just from what I saw in the video, it’s 100x better than the theatrical version and addresses most of the problems I had with it. Very excited to see it myself.
Darn man, you exposed to yourself to some surprises that can only be truly appreciated when not spoiled!
Clark kisses Lois
“I really hope he’s brushed since then” Holden 😂
My initial thought too 😂
52:00 In terms of Flash reversing time or going into the future/past, that’s Flash for ya. Lol He’s done that in the animated stuff, comics, games, the CW Flash show, ect. He’s so fast that can he can do all that. But it does come with a cost, and he doesn’t always do it all the time either. I’m not sure if Flash reversing time a tiny bit here will change anything, but I think it was a nice moment for him to truly shine as The Flash since the theatrical cut treated him like a joke. But to each their own.
well him reversing time does create an alternate timeline where he essentially doesn’t time it correctly.
That NordVPN skit might be the best ad I've ever seen
Lost count how many times i rewatched the movie and reactions
that's when i know i love something, when i look for ther people's reactions
Bruh same
I think HBO max gave Zach the 70million dollars not WB. AT&T own's both HBO and WB so that's why WB movies are on HBO
well probably yeah. WB hates snyder now for some reason. This only got made thanks to the direct order from WarnerMedia which owns HBO and WB and is owned by AT&T. Sadly i dont think they will step in again to restore the synderverse and let that decision be made by WB. and WB wont restore it.
@@hullmees666 it all depends on how far they are on their new projects like the new Batman or black Superman. Also I don't think Ben Affleck wants to play Batman anymore.
@@hullmees666 WB hates Snyder because they can't control him.
Steppenwolfs outfit/look in this movie is the same or very close to how steppenwolf looks in batman v superman ending. Its wierd how Weadon changed steppenwolf in Josstice League, even tho BvS just gave them his look.
Actually, that is the one thing we can't blame Whedon for (that and the runtime). WB execs forced Zack to change the design because it was "too scary" or something like that, but yeah I agree that it shouldn't have been changed
I think 300 might be Matt's favorite film ever, just for the abs alone
They insulted deathstroke by calling him deadpool. Deadpool is a damn parody of deathstroke.
True, but he is more popular. Though I love and like deathstroke more.
Fucking facts lmao
@@213SEMPERFI not imo Deadpool came after deathstroke as a parody, and to rub it in dc’s face, they made Deadpool’s name wade wilson as another parody to SLADE Wilson
@@asd6594 Deadpool is only popular cuz of the movies. If Deathstroke had a cool ass movie, he'd be famous too
But Deadpool as a character is so much more interesting and unique. He is an intentional parody which is smart of them.
Sorry I find it quite funny Prime sat in between Matt and Jenna.
Between that and Matt’s obsession with hunky dudes I reckon he might be “living a lie”. 😙
Yeah that seemed weird.
It’s because Matt lost too much muscle on his cut
Jeremy’s comments at 53:00 were beautiful. Really gave an amazing perspective about Zack’s storytelling style
54:00
So glad Matt watched this instead of the theatrical version.
They’re watching both
I haven't seen nor watched Joss Whedon's Justice League. But i'm so hyped for Zack Snyder's Justice League. #RestoreTheSnyderVerse
Absolutely loved this film!
Zack really delivered big time - yes Virginia, the Snyder Cut was real - and yes, it’s glorious!!
The film is so cinematic - Zack’s stunning visuals with this music - not just Junkie XL but Zack’s song choices - I just loved the Barry and Iris scene and that version of ‘Song To The Siren’ - just beautiful!!!
This film is a Work Of Art - I just loved it!!!!
This movie is by far the best super heroes movie, I would go as far as to say this is a Masterpiece movie! 10/10
I love the subtitles this video is divided into. "Jenna realizes this movie is 4 hrs long" lmao
You mean chapters. Thats the official term for a video having labeled segments on RUclips.
It was crazy how many good scenes were taken out of the movie. One in particular was the Cyborg scene with the single mother who gets invicted. The actress who played that mother tweeted on Twitter asking if her part was in Zacks cut because it was cut out of the Weedon version. There was just so much depth for the characters.
That's a cool fact! and you have a great User Name!

As soon as Holden said a word from today's sponsor I fast forward through it but then I saw a frame of Matt in a cape and I was like nah nevermind I'm watching this 🤣🤣🤣
Matt: I cant wait to see Momoa... you know to see his physical fitness and stuff and all that...."

Surprised no one reacted to the "Show him your fear!" Line. That sh*t gave me goosebumps.
Pretty sure Blind Wave or The Normies (or both) did
When Aquaman says" go do your thing" and Flash takes off and you hear his scream echo through the speedforce!! Amazing
So happy with this video, had a blast watching. I myself absolutely loved the Snyder cut and I think Warner bros should restore the Snyderverse.
I too loved the Snyder Cut. But we shouldn't be suprised because Warner Bros has said its a one and done from the moment the Snyder Cut was approved to be finished. $300 million budget for a film is not feasible whatsoever in a time like this and most definitely not possible to make the box office return on HBO Max. To finish the Snyder Cut really was $70 million because next to everything was shot already.
When I saw the flash reverse time scene, I was dying to see Matt’s reaction. I’ve been waiting for this video ever since I watched the movie and I’m so happy to see you guys enjoyed it! Very pleasantly surprised that Matt enjoyed it so much! Felt worried about the runtime being a downer but it really made for an absolute superhero epic
At the speedforce is one of my fav superhero movie moments ever
I thought that bringing superman from the dead was at the cost that he will be under the influence of darkseid. It's not just an empty death the way marvel does over and over. Hence the nightmare future.
The hatred by trolls against mr Zack Snyder is disgusting
#restorethesnyderverse
I thought the Zack Snyder cut was a far superior movie compared to the theatrical version. And they needed it to be 4 hours so they could expand upon Cyborg, Aquaman, and Flash's characterizations which the DCEU blew by trying to catch up with the MCU in terms of the ensemble superhero movie.
Agreed! 👏🙌
I’m actually scratching my head at the fact that so many people are complaining that it’s a long movie if tho they didn’t think it wouldve been ñ. I’m trying to figure how they didn’t expect that. We’ve been hearing people say how this movie was gonna have backstories and other characters and new scenes and a whole added ending on top of what was already there. The first thing that came to my mind when I heard about what this movie was gonna have weeks ago, was that this is gonna be a long ass movie. I get that they don’t like it but everyone i see is acting really surprised that the movie is this long.
Well, MCU needed all those standalone movies to make Avengers.. while Snyderverse only need MoS, BvS, and ZSJL, it works.. people even love ZSJL way better than MCU ever did tbh.
Holden officially got the best ads on RUclips, give this man the whole bag.
What about Internet Historian?
THAT WAS THE BEST SPONSORSHIP OF ALL TIME!!!!! I LOVED IT 😍😍🤣🤣😭😭😭
I feel that its always people who don't read comics that have an issue with the seriousness of the DC movies vs the MCU. Growing up reading comics we had Elseworlds where DC characters were all kinds of dark. Batman Red Rain, Superman Red Son, Rock of Ages and even now with Injustice. By comparison people who only know Superman from the Donner movie are always like "but he's supposed to be hopeful". Well, that interpretation is but others don't have to be anything but what they want to be. I have no problem with them going dark as long as it ends up being a good story.
I think dark is relative. MCU is just as dark in certain themes it just doesn't look as dark and characters actually have fun personalities...
Which is amazing because Flash and Cyborg stole the show here. I like only like half of the JL team. Good movie, good action and costumes and story is cool.
Why is he annoyed about flash turning back time lol.
Does he know who flash is.
Also Superman had to come back because the league needs him.
Also the fact sups is physically immortal, he would've come back eventually anyways
Bro where's WandaVision!!! It's been more than a month!! I was so excited for it
The last half sucks anyway.
@@eamon4800 it’s great :)
Show ended very disappointingly. Set up with tons of great potential, ended with cgi fights
@@wallyjackson9543 god damn that was a fast reply. I would disagree tho. Very bad writing compared to the first half and very dissapointing.
It’s coming next week. They said they would hold off on wandavision until they watched the Snyder Cut and yesterday Matt posted a video on his story of them recording something on Disney +.
I’m surprised no one made the connection between “I’m always dressed” and “I’m always angry”
I don’t think that’s too similar at all. They’re two very different moments in very different movies. Incomparable really.
Not really close at all.
Or they should have gone for Darkseid's head...
Or the super slo mo shot of the Justice League all zipping forward into action...
Or the reversal of an act that wiped out humanity to save the day...
It may or may not be the best comic book superhero team-up movie of all time, but it's certainly the boldest, most auteurist film the genre has ever produced. It breaks most of the established rules that mega blockbusters are supposed to play by for universal acclaim and success. Yet despite this, it still engenders the same grandiose, rewarding payoff that sends audiences home uplifted and inspired.
Definitely the best team up film. Easily.
no shit i have so much respect for batman for just jumping into battle with all those crazy op caracters as a simple human
HOW DO U NOT SHOW THE FLASH SCENE - best scene in comic film
"I'm not broken, and I am not alone." - Cyborg, Zack Snyder's Justice League.
"I'm still worthy." - Thor, Endgame
Same beautifully positive energy.
Flash tapping into speed force and saves the world is the best scene hands down ever...
And the choice of music when he saves iris...
God damn...
What was wrong with Whedon....
To me, it feels like Whedon was an inside agent to mess up the film.
@@vampirethespiderbatgod9740 probably yes.... Marvel paying Whedon more to destroy the competition 😆😂😆
No matter which version you prefer, I don't see how anyone can look at that finale, featuring The Flash, and say we can cut that.....
Who thought THAT was a good idea?
I am one of these people and i will tell you why it should be cut. Because it is just spectacle and entirely void of meaning. I would prefer most action / spectacle scenes to carry some weight behind them. Using your special ability to "rewind time", that you established earlier should be used with caution due to potential after effects and fuck ups, is actually entirely free of this setback when the situation involves ABSOLUTE DESTRUCTION. On top of that, it renders any and all stakes meaningless because the Flash can rewind time at will, essentially, however many times he wants. The ability is not dependent on a gadget or a condition outside his own control, it's always accessible to him, in contrast to, let's say,every other movie where time travel requires all sorts of things to be achieved. Things went wrong? Boom, time travel, everything is fixed now. Things went to shit again? No worries, let's try again.
I hope that answers your question. If you are fine with pure spectacle, good on you. But it could have been so much more than JUST that. And that applies to the entire movie by the way.
@@marorerimeraremaro2533 it was his ONLY option. To say it was meaningless, is ridiculous.
But, if you prefer him pushing a truck a few miles away, by all means.
@@riteousrighthand6144 It was his only option, true, but a lot of people are pretending like he pulled a trigger that has massive consequences if pulled and that he is very hesitant about doing so due to the implications. But what you said was my entire point, as it is the only option, there are no god damn implications.
@@marorerimeraremaro2533 those implications are going to bear fruit, in his solo, though.
If we're talking about the ramifications of his having to "break his rule".
@@riteousrighthand6144 Yes that's what i am referring to. And i am cool with them being seen in the solo film, but we can't say "he caused this" because there was no alternative.
For an example of what i am trying to say let's take Endgame. Ironman didn't have to use the gauntlet at the end to finish the fight, he had his life to think of and all was not lost (YET). But he takes the risk to himself and pulls the trigger, thus paying the price. Now let's take the same scenario, but Ironman takes all the stones, however, everyone else is already dead. Every goofball has been killed and Tony is the last one standing. There are no stakes in this situation, everyone is already gone, there are no other options left to account for. The impact of the scene is now, not the same, and a lot less powerful.
In Snyder's version, the situation could have been improved by, for example, having the team save the day without fucking up at first, and as things are clearing up, we see the family (that's in the Whedon cut) and as they exit their house, the roof collapses on them. And as Flash tries to rescue them, he understands that at this point in time, saving them is impossible (the rocks have already made contact with their bodies or something) but in order for this bright day to not get stained by this clearly avoidable accident, he pushes time back and saves them. And then, you have the aftermath to deal with in the solo movie, which were caused by his feelings of guilt for not being vigilant or fast enough to rescue the family without breaking the time barrier.
2nd viewing. Why was the flash part cut out?
It was my introduction to The DCEU And I’ve GOT to say I was impressed, Im now on Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice
And both of those are without a doubt, better then Endgame
The new Steppenwolf's face reminds me of Toothless from How To Train Your Dragon...
yoooo- good call
Joss actually started moving in before Zack left and was still directing. They started pushing him out, so he and Deborah made the decision to then leave the film.
Yeap true. Everyone thought Zack left willingly, but that wasn’t the case. The whole story behind on what really happened, and Zack explained this is quite sad.
We should get a documentary on the making of this movie.
Nobody talked about how batman redeemed himself from from Batman vs Superman
Matt: "I don't like superman coming back."
Also Matt: "BRUH!!! Goosebump city! Goose..."
It was shot on that 4:3 ratio. Making it widescreen would mean pushing the frame in and cropping top and bottom, not revealing the sides. We would be losing images, not gaining them.

Genuinely honest I feel like you only feel the 4 hours is you constantly take breaks and don’t just binge watch it
