No but there needs to be a transition to that point. This is a Superman that said “nothing stays good in this world” or some nonsense like that in BVS and died an hour out or so later in the movie. To go from that and the idea that he was always presented as conflicted about his own existence and purpose to randomly being jovial and friendly and beloved when he really wasn’t is jarring and dumb. Him coming back to life and wanting to know why he’s getting a second chance and deciding to be Superman this time around and all the dad talk as he was picking his suit was a way better but more subtle move towards being the Superman he’s supposed to be.
If they had eliminated that part and just went with how they presented Superman after he came back I think it works better. It was kinda corny but I did like Superman at the end of the Whedon cut. And even that wouldn’t fit with where Snyder was obviously going with the story, I get why it was changed since there was zero plans to ever revisit the Snyder world and the original JL was supposed to be a quiet ending. |

I didn't mean to suggest that Destor liked Sucker Punch earlier btw.
I would never do that to somebody on purpose. |

Oh I know he didn’t. He’s merely using it’s awfulness to highlight how full he feels Snyder JL is.

It's like saying you want to see the transition of Joker from tattooed "gangster" in Suicide Squad to the more "traditional" type Joker at the end of this.
Nah, I don't really care, just give me what I want. |

Or in Iron Man 3 how Tony "gives up" being Iron Man at the end but then is back at it with no explanation for the next Avengers.... I don't really care

Tony Stork would have been a good name.
Because he could fly. |

I don’t think course correcting is wrong. I think shoehorning in a version of the character into a movie that was clearly butchered and randomly pretending the divisive version of the character didn’t exist was jarring and weird. I also think Snyder sucked with his previous handling of Superman. I get the idea of exploring his personal existential problems if you think he’s a Jesus allegory but it shouldn’t take almost 9 hours of film to get there.

Yeah no thanks. I think getting his 4 hour self wank job release is more than enough. I saw someone time all the slow motion and it’s 10% of the movie. 24 minutes of slow motion lol. For the flash scenes I get it but lmao at 24 minutes.

Starting to see the Snyder cult come outta the woodwork and pretending Snyder didn’t deliver 2 underwhelming, underperforming and extremely divisive films prior to this. It was 5 years ago but the biggest story going into BVS opening weekend was all the terrible reviews and how the audience scores were not good. And that the drop off in second week box office was abysmal.
I’m glad Snyder got to release his version and did it his way, but these fucks are pretending he’s some savant filmmaker who was wronged by a studio that produced the Dark Knight trilogy as if they weren’t right to reign him in after singing and missing on a new Superman movie and the first Superman Batman team up. |

He got us to watch a four hour version of a film we had already seen, mate.
Zack Snyder actually wins this round. |

Oh I’m happy he’s got to release his version. It’s too long, there’s too much slow motion and some repetitive or needlessly long scenes that don’t end soon enough, BUT I enjoyed the hell out of it and felt it was a far better, more realized film than the WB mandated Whedon cut. Snyder getting a victory lap is fine by me.
It’s his awful worst of the worse minions that I can’t stand. |

3 hours into the movie. Its long but its good. I don't remember the first one really. This one is enjoyable though. 4 hours is just to damn long though for any movie.

Finished it. I dont remember the first movie but this movie was fun. Wouldn't mind the universe to continue in this fashion but you can't release a 4 hour movie into theaters.

Not surprising at all. The Snyder cut appealed to a segment of the comic book community and not the general audience. I only know a handful of people who’ve watched it in its entirety. Most people I know who have HBO Max haven’t even started it because of its run time.
