Justice League (DC 2017 film)

1.66, the number of the League

Or is it Academy ratio? Either way, the devil must be very pleased.

it's 1.33 from what I'm seeing

here's a dissenting review: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/movies/story/2021-03-15/justice-league-zack-snyder-cut-review-hbo-max

You mean a dissenting review that doesn't invoke Murnau, Lang and Tarr in the context of a glum Super Friends movie?

I confess I wrote off the MZS review after he called Speed Racer a "non-comic book" movie

I like MZS cause he's one of the few major ish critics who still talks in specific terms about technical aspects of filmmaking and doesn't just tell me Themes Good or Themes Bad

Any critic w/ MZS’s knowledge base can cite Tarr or Murnau to polish any old turd

I want a timestamp for the fun-sounding Flash scene MZS talks about, will check those three minutes out

So is anyone going to hatewatch and liveblog on this thread?

would rather go to a 6 hour theatrical production of Garbage Pail Kids as directed by Julie Taymor

1.66, the number of the League

Heard Bruce Dickinson when I read this and truly LOL’ed. Thank you.

A lot of people were shocked by Justice League’s 4:3 aspect ratio so I rounded up a few really great widescreen alternatives instead for those who just can’t get past it https://t.co/1uaHQPfjWB

I watched the first 20 mins for fun this morning. I'm judging Nick Cave a little bit for letting one of the songs he wrote about the death of his son get used in this, but I get it, $$$

I’m about an hour in. This is hot garbage and I’m a lifelong comics reader/ Jack Kirby fan yadda yadda. This is just a big videogame,right?

Watching purely out of boredom and curiosity. And because Gal Gadot.

i know I said there are no bad actors but she is a truly terrible actor

and person!

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
