Justice League (DC 2017 film)

She is awful but I don’t come to this stuff for the acting. Hell even DaFoe and Irons go HAM in this sludge.

Apokolips inhabited by grey burn victims.

thing is like, the O.G. Justice League cut was like a Kurosawa film compared to Batman v Supes anyway.

there's nothing remarkable about it, it's boring, there's no reason to watch it more than once, but....it was at least competent to a degree.

I couldn't see much beneath the surface that made me think "oh man, there's a great movie trying to come out of this shell!". who gaf about another cut of this shit.

kinda like the time they released the Schrader cut of Exorcist 4, called Dominion, and it was way better than Exorcist 4 but still sucked.

i’m so hyped

stoked for the Brad review of this, ngl

My God this Gadot voiceover narrating the history of Apokolips vs The Old Gods or some shit. And Darkseid is a claymation dudebro. I’m gonna watch something else. I feel guilt at wasting precious minutes of my life on this lol.

I liked BVS, a fascist movie about fascists. definitely preferable to candy colored quippy movies about fascists

the latest Harley Quinn cartoon is way better than this shit

This thing could use some color.

for anyone who was wondering which superhero Snyder sees himself as, the opening credits placement make clear that it's batfleck

who's gonna tell him that he's Stone Boy

Also, MZS review is trolling in that review. Has to be. Or he was completely baked.

why on earth would you watch this sober

Just want to start this over

lolmg

xpost did Harold Pinter direct that

Hahaha

I just wanted to hear him pronounce J’onn J’onnz

It's free to stream in the UK, it turns out

Costs even less not to watch it.

that'll do it for my watching of this movie i think

who's gonna tell him that he's Stone Boy

the Subs have a sense of humour

so far the funniest thing in the movie is the sequence where WW breaks up a very comics-y heist which she is only able to thwart because roose bolton insists on setting up a delay timer to go with the bomb. they all stand around and wait for her to show up while it ticks away. cool plan!

there are in fact TWO nick cave needle drops in the first hour, including one set to a slomo Aquaman taking off his shirt and staring down some bodacious waves

snyder stans plus everyone hate watching it ironically, I'm guessing this is going to set streaming records

not from meee

Snyder went on some zoom chat last night and called out organised toxic bros and hateful speech among his stans.

Comicsgate king and grifter supreme Eth4n V4n Sciv3r promptly responded by joking that not only can Snyder not stop him from killing Chinese folks, he now wants to line them up and mow them down with a tommy-gun, as Stan Lee wanted to (Stan probably did not want this).

jesus

I know the bar is low but it's nice that Snyder spoke up

EVS needs to be melted down. What a waste of human tissue he is.

I’m like 45 minutes in and I don’t hate it yet.

it’s basically a Tarsem joint is how I break it down to an extent.

3 more hours so I reserve the right to hate it at any time, but I at least get what he’s going for here, kinda epic “what would gods vs gods look like” vibe vs marvel’s “friendly neighborhood regular folks w/power + responsibility”

my friend said the movie went from mediocre and meh to outright insanely bad once the epilogue is reached

okay, I’m through the Flash/“song to the siren” bit and pausing here but so far I stand with MZS and Chaw. theatrical release was hot garbage. so far this is not.

I at least get what he’s going for here, kinda epic “what would gods vs gods look like” vibe vs marvel’s “friendly neighborhood regular folks w/power + responsibility”

hmmm

This is hot garbage and I’m a lifelong ... Kirby fan yadda yadda. This is just a big videogame,right?

i mean, Snyder is at his best when he’s avoiding any attempt at naturalism or dialogue or human character beats and just doing big comix panel cutscenes with some narration. the more this thing is like 300 the better! there’s a reason Owls of Ga’Hoole is his most accomplished work!

hence why I’m citing Tarsem here.

has he done any cutscenes that actually look like Kirby tho

not that I’ve seen yet

which tbf I have zero expectations for this thing kirbywise. but even darkseid truly has zero kirbyness.

same energy

Yeah for me the first Thor flick and Ragnarok, Black Panther and Captain America: First Avenger had plenty of Kirbyness with CATFA almost feeling like a pure homage at times. I got no Kirby vibes from the hour I watched of this steaming pile. Also, you’d think Snyder would know that playing with scale, color and texture like Kirby did creates a sense of the sublime ( og meaning). A Mother Box is impressive because it’s tiny and not the size of a microwave. But dude adheres to the Bigger Is Better school of filmmaking.

the size of a microwave

!, lol

I mean tbf there has been a variety of different Mother Boxes but yeah the standard issue one is in fact palm-sized.

Maybe we hold out for some actual Kirby vibe from DuVernay's Fourth World/New Gods/whatever they're calling it? Not holding my breath but it seems at least somewhat more likely in that case.

The first Cap is just about the most faithful page-to-screen adaptation the MCU has produced, as much of the Cap origin stuff was lifted directly from the Lee & Kirby Cap origin flashback.

Lol the Martian Manhunter scene is so awkward.

Making me quite want to watch it actually.

The more I hear about this, the more interesting it becomes

I've still only watched the first hour but I can't imagine this tops the BVS director's cut for Peak Snyder tbh, just watch that, it's only 3 hours long

it also has the bonus of featuring very little Gal Gadot

kinda baffled by the Godot hate
