The Snyder Cut — Review Thread

Not all it's cracked up to be, is it?

So I do have to say it does alleviate many of the issues I had with J the first time around. But if it needed 4 hours to do so, I can't help but wonder what kind of an accomplishment that is. The climax was certainly more climactic and the pacing and tone issues were smoothed out a bit. That epilogue was awful though.

I'll say this, the movie has been growing on me a bit. I'm still not sure it's really "good", but the best elements are what stick out in my memory.

Rank these movies:

The Avengers
Avengers: Age of Ultron
Avengers: Infinity War
Avengers: Endgame
The Snyder Cut

Infinity War is the best (by a decent margin). Snyder Cut is the worst (by a wide margin).

I'd also go against the grain and say the first Avengers is the worst Avengers movie and one of the weaker MCU movies overall.

This was atrocious. I haven't seen the Whedon version, but it sure seems like a lot of people are overreacting to this version being marginally better and praising it as a success.

This is a film that has no rhythm, pacing, flow, or reason to anything occurring. It becomes parody after Snyder resorts to yet another outlandishly executed slow-motion sequence set to cornball music pieces.

None of the characters work, especially Batman. Cyborg and The Flash bring the only semblance of narrative cohesion and heart to this mind numbingly dull ordeal.

Villain is another carbon copy of the same old. A low-rent Thanos.

CGI was all over the place, but mostly looked awful.

Humor fails every time with a resounding thud.

Action is stilted and overly done on green screens. One person attacks Steppenwolf, he thwarts them, next it's next hero up, rinse, repeat. Where's the fun to be had? This is just a dour, self-absorbed affair with no life or intrigue.

Just because a film is 4 hours doesn't mean that it's richer in content. This movie never gets off the ground because it has no pacing or economy in telling its story. Compare how this piece of shit movie spends 4 hours of running time compared to what Endgame accomplishes in 3 and it's just not even close.

4/10

SnoBorderZero is using his powers for good today.

I lolled at "Martha Manhunter."

Review starts at 17:00.

Fanboys talked so much shit about Danny Elfman, only for Junkie XL to show up with that bullshit. lol.




And why repeat that scene a million times?




That whole scene was fucking stupid.

Batman has always been largely useless in the Justice League. In the comics and in the 2000’s animated series they justified his inclusion by making him the antagonist of the group.
