I think it has gone from "just finish what you wanted to release 3 years ago" to "we're desperate for content so just keep filming, whatever you need!" I won't be a bit surprised if HBO Max spreads it out over 4 months to keep people subscribing. I’m not sure that I agree. From a business standpoint it’s a poor decision. Seems more like giving Snyder what he wants because it’s already been announced and their stuck. Adding new scenes isn’t really going to increase the audience that is interested in this. Every new announcement narrows the audience. Spreading this out would require really good word-of-mouth to be successful.

This might end up amazing and a big success for HBO Max but since I didn't like MOS or BvS very much I have a hard time getting excited for it or Synder's vision which has now taken on some mythical proportions to some fans I know. Everything you ever didn't like about Joss, MCU, studio interference, run times, jokes and anything bad anyone ever said about DC will be repudiated in this glorious 4 hours.

MarkHB November 16, 2020 Author Share November 16, 2020 I think it's safe to say that, whatever else is in there, two things will NOT be: Flash will not fall onto Wonder Woman's boobs (which, apparently, Gal Gadot refused to film... that was her stuntwoman), and Martha Kent will not refer to Lois as "thirsty." I've said since it came out that I thought that, by itself, Justice League is an entertaining movie. But, thematically, tonally, stylistically... as the conclusion of the trilogy that started with MoS and BvS, it was wildly off the mark and (if you liked what the first two were doing) disappointing. It is very much a case of "one of these things is not like the others." 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39165-justice-league-2017/page/9/#findComment-6453511

Is it really more daunting than Netflix dropping 8 1-hour episodes? We now know when we'll be able to find out... Press release with details on authorized international viewing is here; it also contains this synopsis: Quote In ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE, determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions. The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman (Affleck), Wonder Woman (Gadot), Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher) and The Flash (Ezra Miller) may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions. Also, merch (including food) will be available: Quote The release of ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE will be supported across WarnerMedia and DC platforms, including a soundtrack release on WaterTower Music, a curated collection from Warner Bros. Consumer Products available exclusively at DC Shop at https://shop.dccomics.com/, and a first-of-its-kind, immersive, at-home dining experience in the US and UK with Wonderland at Home (Wonderlandathome.com).

When I watch a movie I’m more likely to stop watching at a point that isn’t holding my interest making me less likely to come back later and watch again.

(MPAA certificate #53052, no link because it's just in the weekly PDF). Also, this article reports two interesting points from a podcast re: why it's now a single 4-hour movie rather than 4 parts. One, since WB decided to drop their entire 2021 schedule on HBO Max they didn't need to stretch ZSJL out so much. Two, because splitting it that way meant that it became a TV series rather than a feature, and the cast wanted more money because that's how the contracts work. WB was actually negotiating that with the various agents until Point One happened and made it unnecessary.

Racj82 February 14, 2021 Share February 14, 2021 (edited) Nothing Snyder plans to do will ever change the fact that this movie shouldn't exist. Not the way it was set up. They did the death of Superman two movies in. TWO MOVIES. Why would his death have the impact Snyder will try to make it out to be after this short of time and after so much of the population didn't even really like him. I know he clearly saved people and died saving the world. Yada Yada. But, they're going to try to put Iron Man level of importance on Superman's death and it's too soon. It's trying to establish too many characters in one movie. It was always trying to set up a universe that was ill conceived and thought out. Much like the B vs S Snyder cut, I believe, narratively, it will be a better movie. More structured. But, the problems with the movie spread farther than the base narrative. I'm always way beyond tired of people saying Marvel fans give all the movies a pass good or bad. Super fans do that for everything. It's not a marvel thing. See Snyder fans who defend all his flawed dc movies. People will not shut up about how bad Age of Ultron is and that movie isn't even that bad. Not even close. Thor 2. The Iron Man sequels. For many, the first avenger. Marvel movies don't get more passes than anyone else. At the base level, marvel has found a formula that makes it hard to truly hate.

Peace 47 February 15, 2021 Share February 15, 2021 As much I enjoy the jokes that drag the Snyderverse (the funniest podcast I’ve ever heard is “We Hate Movies” complete and utter evisceration of Batman v Superman—I still listen to it sometimes on Spotify), I will probably watch this because I already have HBOMax, I like Gal Godot’s Wonder Woman a whole heck of a lot, and I was always sad that the original film cut out Lois and Clark’s official engagement that was revealed in the trailers for the original movie (but everyone thought was a dream at the time). I want to see the full version of that scene that didn’t make the final original cut (Clark: “I’ll take that as a ‘yes’.” Lois: “What?” Clark: “The ring.”) I assume we’ll get that this time. If not, just picture me screaming like Superman at the beginning of this new trailer. I personally find Zach Snyder to be too pretentious, and on the whole (with exceptions), I don’t really enjoy his filmmaking aesthetic, but in light of the revelations about how Joss Whedon treated Ray Fisher and the cast of Buffy, if people come away from this slamming Joss Whedon’s version all the more, I’ll be okay with that. And if this is a stinker on the level of Batman v Superman (my view; I know some love it), I’ll just enjoy the jokes and memes. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39165-justice-league-2017/page/9/#findComment-6605982

My point is that the Justice League we saw were two movies and styles smashed together. It wasn't a Whedon movie OR a Snyder movie. It was a movie by committee with obvious flavoring of both men in it. And let's not act like Flash being comic relief is a Whedon thing. He's usually the silliest of the main League members. Doesn't mean he isn't also brave, strong and heroic. And even before Whedon came on, it was clear they were going to play Barry more awkward within the group. Something like Aquaman not knowing he's sitting on the lasso while talking or Batman commenting on his condition while lying on the ground are the elements that feel the most Whedon and won't be here. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39165-justice-league-2017/page/9/#findComment-6607347
shrewd.buddha February 16, 2021 Share February 16, 2021 (edited) The Snyder "trailer" that was released on Valentine's Day was so very, very quintessentially Zack Synder: A series of images that are iconic, dramatic and larger-than-life (emphasis purposely emphasized) .... but also feeling somewhat random and not giving much indication as to how one image leads to the other. It seems , to me , that Snyder spends a lot more time and energy on creating images like the one of Aquaman standing in front of a gigantic ocean wave than he devotes to plot, story structure, character development, etc. (Maybe those things are someone else's job.) And yet, on the other hand, while online I have seen so many fans who are honestly, earnestly happy about this Snyder Cut, that I don't begrudge it coming into existence. And I will most likely pay a one month HBOMax subscription price to see it - - at some point. My one hope is that after it is released, Zack Snyder can finally shut up about it.

WritinMan February 19, 2021 Share February 19, 2021 Why the Justice League Snyder Cut Isn't Widescreen "It's just got a different quality and one that is unusual. No one's doing that." No shit, Zack. I wonder why. Snyder gonna Snyder. Damn man, can't you do anything normal? Apparently his original vision was for the movie to also be in black and white, so they are preparing that version as well with no current release date. I think it will be called: Zack Snyder's Really Milking it Now Justice League. 1 5 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/39165-justice-league-2017/page/9/#findComment-6614082
