I don't think Zack got a chance to CORRECT this version based on complaints from the 2017 cut. This Snyder Cut consists of everything he shot in 2016 before the reshoots and a little over 5-7 mins shot in 2020 (mostly joker scenes)

[@bigkmoviesandgames]

The complaints most people had with the theatrical cut were because of the lack of story and character development which zach shot before the reshoots happened but WB left on the cutting room floor. Since those scenes are put back in the snyder cut I think it will remedy peoples complaints that they had with the Whedon cut.

[@christianogden2825]

@@bigkmoviesandgames keep in mind, wb would never release a 4 hrs rated R movie. Even if snyder had been allowed to finish this in '17, at least a third would've been cut out and it would've edited to fit pg13 standards. I'm happy to hear people like it. But there's no guarantee snyder doesn't murder this in the editing room and people need to keep that in mind

2750 vfx shots were done in 7 months during a pandemic.... Props to the artists..

To correct the record, Zack Snyder didn't "go back and correct" anything he had already done. He only shot literally 5 minutes of new material for this release. What you got in ZS's JL was basically exactly what he originally shot. He was just given 70 million dollars to add all the CGI needed in already-shot material. Joss Whedon was the one who bastardized the whole thing.

13:54 *Correction. That was WB that ruined Leto’s Joker, not Ayer. If you watch the SDCC trailer of Suicide Squad. The very 1st one. You’ll noticed that tone is darker and more serious. It wasn’t until the backlash of BvS that it was “too dark” that the studio stepped in and basically forced Ayer to shoehorn in a lighter tone and Marvel jokes. Not to mention Leto and Ayer, have said that a lot of Joker scenes were cut* And I may be wrong about this, but I THINK, because I heard it from someone, that Joker was originally was supposed to be the main villain of the movie, until the studio stepped in yet again, because they wanted yet another world ending threat (how original) I could be wrong though

[@cleenegame]

Thanks for the unbiased review. Other reviewers saw no flaws at all LOL

[@famousthaneus9810]

The thing I don't think people are realizing is that even if Snyder hadn't left in 2017: This was never going to be what hit the theatres. WB & Snyder agreed on a 2.5hr cut. This whole 4hr edition? Most likely would've been a DVD thing. Cutting out all that runtime still would've impacted the film

[@copingflower1909]

4 HOURS WHAT?! I was barely able to get through endgame and I loved that movie

[@theeighthOG]

Dude so glad you’re still here, been watching you since I was a kid 😂 This review is perfect too 👌🏼

I just really loved how every justice league member served a significant purpose, absolutely loved ZSJL

[@MaddJakd]

Saw this last night. Godly work! Amazing what a creative can do when they're actually allowed to see their vision through! I don't even care about the runtime. I was fully immersed! The pacing, the strory, the additions. If there's ever a blu-ray release, it's mine

[@jordantaylor260]

Yeah at least Batman had some gadgets and didn’t just have a gun all the time.

After watching the film I don't understand why they hired joss Whedon to do reshoots or hire anyone to do reshoots at all? why couldn't they just take zack's 4 hour rough cut and trim it down to a 2 hour 30 or 2 hour 40 minute movie? the joss Whedon scenes/inserts are pointless and cringe and putting in more superman even though there was enough there was stupid especially when Henry Cavill has a moustache that he cannot shave? and Ben Aflecks weight change was so noticeable! I really loved this new cut though, its great!!! they definitely would not have released it in 2017 and I can understand why but man it was so cool and it makes me want more !!!! and the nightmare scene at the end was pointless but it was cool to see batman and the joker together! I hope we get more ??? it would suck otherwise!!!

Texans will be seeing this on the big screen. I’m envious.

Despite the notifications I keep getting about how amazing Robert Patrick is for holding his breath while running in Terminator 2 (as though he really was a machine). I don't think anyone can really beat your reviews of comic book movies.

I'll be ordering HBO Max this week to watch Justice League. We need to support this movie as much as we can because this is unheard of for a studio to allow a director to basically restructure and reshoot a film just for the fans. I don't expect Justice League to reinvent the wheel, but I do like Zack Snyder and I want to thank Warner Bros for dropping 70 million more into this Snyder Cut, that originally started as a silly internet meme and now it's a reality! The fans spoke, the studio delivered and now the fans need to step up and support this.

[@kingdomcomesuperman3669]

I was like you said and really pessimistic about the movie but considering how well this is recieved I'll give it a shot.

[@mech-tech4779]

hope your channel grow. you are great reviewer, don't let people tell different, keep up the good work, and continue doing what your are doing, God bless you. youtube sucks! no longer notify me about your videos.

Man it’s been so long since u have made a official review on this channel welcome back John hope this is a sign of good things to come maybe even a collab video with Chris stuckmann as it has been so long since u two made a video together, I miss u guys together

[@sarathb4602]

This is not a redo. The principle photography of this entire movie was done back then. The only additional footage is the Joker scene. Also the scene is not just so that joker and Batman can have a conversation, its hinted that Lois died under Batman's watch and that causes Superman to fall for the anti-life equation and become corrupted by Darkside. So DCEU main villian would have been Superman himself and not Darkside in JL2... so lack of charisma of Darkside compared to Thanos wouldn't matter.

[@theFLICKpick]

Calm down, it’s a redo based on the first theatrical attempt. Don’t get stuck on semantics.

I don't know. I think the fact that he ended up making a 4-hour movie kind of says that he didn't plan the movie well enough. It's not something that could've been shown in theaters. From your description, I also don't like the way the conflict with Steppenwolf was resolved. *Discussion of spoilers from here on out* Richard Donner did that "reverse time by going backwards really fast" thing back in 1979, and it wasn't impressive back then, either. And that's beside the fact that Endgame *also* used time travel. If the only way you can have your heroes win is reverse time, your script is broken.

[@ryanmelton3679]

("It was Master Wayne's idea." -Alfred) Bruce came up with the concept and blueprints for the energy absorbing gauntlets and gave them to Alfred, let's be clear. Bruce is often busy fighting criminals and doesn't have as much free time to tinker with the engineering all the time. Yes, Alfred did successfully execute the plans but let's give Bruce his fair shake here.

[@joker_views]

Idk, I didn’t feel the runtime when I saw The Irishman or TLOTR trilogy, so the runtime here won’t rlly be an issue

[@DavidMyrmidon]

Technically, Barry didn't run in circles to unwind time.. he was doing that to store energy I believe. The Time Jump was done in a Straight line. From where he got up, to where The Explosion from The Mother-boxes originated from.. which is one of The Best scenes in The Whole movie. #BreakTheRulesBarry

[@deenaprice1524]

It was never intended to go to theaters. It was an hbomax project from the beginning.

[@bdonovable]

I think it was a missed opportunity that MM didn't say some people call me "Martian Manhunter" but then telepathically to Bruce say "but you can call me J'onn"...to showcase a bit more of MM's abilities. Or eliminate the Martha/MM reveal and in epilogue show Bruce and Clark having a casual chat/drink. Then Bruce discloses that something "Clark" was touching/near was actually made of Kryptonite and that he knows this "Clark" is an imposter. Then have the transformation and telepathy. Showcase Batman detective skills and MM abilities.

[@kylerhoads2543]

Zack Snyder’s Justice League is by FAR the best DCEU movie to date. THIS is the direction DC needs to take. Fire Walter Hermada, fire Geoff Johns, and HIRE Zack Snyder to continue what he started!!! #restorethesnyderverse

[@MJMwildskull]

Great review. I have never seen the original theatrical realese. So will watch this with fresh eyes when it comes to the UK.

[@Unqualifiedmedicalperson]

Zack Snyder is still pushing for a theatrical release later in the year!

[@PaulRizzo]

I’m going to see it tomorrow in IMAX in Melbourne, Australia. CANNOT WAIT!!!
