I'm glad it's getting good reviews because for this kind off project it could mean pretty rad things for a director's say in final cuts in general. Hopefully.

thrawn527 posted:Could this movie be that good? Or are reviewers deciding to focus on the artist over the studio for, like, the first time I can remember? My theory is that Marvel being gone from theaters for almost 2 years has created mental space for people to process different takes on cape flicks. For better or worse, Man of Steel was released about 14 months after The Avengers and people were comparing the two.

Its funny, you'd think they'd go the other way if they were after more money. Like what happened to Peter Jackson and The Hobbit. Definitely a case of design-by-committee either way though.

Zaphod42 posted:Its a movie that was released once already to theaters and is getting re-released. You think calling the snyder cut an extended edition is a "lie"? Seriously? It is estimated that at most 30 minutes of Snyder-shot Justice League footage has been released to the general public, until Thursday. (Obviously, in order to know for sure, some poor soul is going to have to watch the 2017 Justice League film side-by-side with the 2021 Justice League film and scrutinize the differences.) Although based on the same story treatment, they're functionally entirely different movies. It's possible you are unaware of how sensitive a topic this has been in the past.

thrawn527 posted:One thing that I found interesting about the IGN review, that is a little spoilery so I won't get into it here, and warning before you go check out the review itself, is that the movie goes more in detail into Steppenwolf's specific motivations beyond, "MOTHER!" That's really fascinating poo poo, to me, and is making me look forward to Thursday even more. Why would Whedon cut that? I mean, beyond the usual, "Because he's really dumb." Not to defend Whedon but in terms of editing he was given sort of an impossible job. I imagine cutting things that were too dark or heavy was his and/or WB’s first priority, but after that you also have to cut the things that a) make more economic sense (e.g saving everything about Darkseid for a future movie) or b) no longer make sense without that context. So once he cuts everything about Darkseid, he also has to cut the things about Steppenwolf’s relationship with him. Once he cuts Cyborg’s dad dying and etcetera, he also has to cut pretty much all of his origin story because it is based on that fact. Again, not to defend Whedon - because the proper answer to this dilemma is “don’t take the job in the first place.”

Thinking ZSJL is an "extended edition" is a huge disservice to what the film represents and is completely disrespectful to the crew that made the Snyder Cut happen. Please inform yourself.

I think even if you recognize its got 3 new hours of footage you can see why someone would jokingly call it an "extended edition" would at least make sense even if you would never use that language yourself. Calling that a "lie" and saying things like "kids these days love to just lie and yell prank, that must be what you're doing!" is absurd. This thread is getting awfully hostile, I'm not even saying the movie is definitely bad. I'm being called a concern troll just for explaining my view, I can't imagine what y'all would say if I was actually negative on the film. It being a sensitive topic is... not healthy. Its a movie, guys. Darko posted:I don't even really like BvS, the Owl movie, or Sucker Punch; I just think they're varied levels of interesting.

Honestly if you picture this as a room full of people having a conversation thats been built over 4 years with an exhausting amount of detail and then some random guy youve never seen just bursts in like "can you guys believe this shits getting good reviews? I dont get it. Its some extended footage and that cyborg guy didnt even like it in the first place!", everyones reaction is appropriately toned IMO.

I think it's possible and even probable that Zaphod just came in here without knowing the history of this topic and how we had to argue with a bunch of more actively hostile people saying all of the poo poo we now know to be 100% true was even possible for the past several years I think as a whole the thread tends to have a bit of a hair trigger but it's also hard to tell if its just because 10 people start replying at the same time and then it seems like we are dogpiling (also wonder if it has anything to do with the worldwide MS teams and office outage which is why I'm posting way more today lol)

Not everybody has been living Snyder interviews 24/7. All I know was he said that things got toxic with Whedon, that doesn't mean that the scenes that were cut were necessarily amazing. This is really bullshit dude, nothing I've said has given you a significant reason to assume this, you're just going full nuclear right out of the gates. Nothing about the quality of the Snyder scenes has to do with any of that.

Ray Fisher’s story goes way, way beyond a new cut of a movie and you should probably google it for five minutes before shooting off at the hip about what he does and doesn’t want released.RBA Starblade posted:It's ok, I chuckled at the idea that you're a racist if you don't follow the comic book men close enough to know the behind the scenes I didn’t say that Edit: \/ turns out he did know lol AdmiralViscen fucked around with this message at 22:59 on Mar 15, 2021 |
