I think Jupiter Ascending being such a good film ruined any chances of Alita succeeding.

fart simpson posted:yes, it was. it surely wasn't bad because james cameron is a master of his craft (unlike zack snyder). but it was just a bland action movie and nothing is really memorable other than the huge cgi eyes and there wasnt much of an emotional connection with any of the characters or lacking that, any truly cool action set pieces That's not who directed the movie

hey serious poster fart simpson - do you also think Zack Snyder just stumbles into his action scenes by accident and hopes for the best? and that it's just blind luck he develops interesting characters and shots?

This is the weird thing to me. If I disliked a director I would simply not watch four hours of his undiluted vision. Especially immediately after it's released.

teagone posted:Nothing needed to be cut. The movie needed 4 hours to match the scope/scale. Which is fine imo. That 4 hours was breezy as hell for me. I'm not the artist, and I've been conditioned by years of watching Hollywood films. I'm aware of the bias, but it also informs how I watched this film. I definitely think some parts could have been cut, could have helped the flow of the film, and we wouldn't have missed out on any of the story. Off the top of my head Wonder Woman/Alfred tea scene Martian Manhunter impersonating Martha Kent - it could have easily been left as just a caring Mother-in-law looking after Lois. A few of the slower moments between Dr. Silas and Ryan Choi Lex Luthor/Deathstroke scene Knightmare epilogue scene We'd still be looking at a long film, maybe 3 hours and 45 minutes.

The (three?) slow motion lighting zaps we got to see Zeus do were excellent. I do think that "the history lesson" scene kind of sets you up for a more epic film than you get (that is, a fight in an abandoned power station with a henchman figure); LOTR has a similar sweeping sort of history lesson but the film kind of makes good on that promise by the end (of the trilogy, admittedly).

So does the Snyder cut really do much to improve the Whedon cut from something mediocre and barely memorable to something worth sitting for 4 hours watching? I can't imagine it does all that much to improve on the flaws of the original aside from adding more context and character development.

If you're not a Snyder fan you probably won't like it because it's four hours of his kinda poo poo, but it's very different from the theatrical cut.

I'm not sure where to start with my praise for this film. It's exactly my brand of superhero poo poo. So much detail, so much character, so much heart - the action, the score! What WB and Whedon did to this film is abominable. I wonder which of them will point fingers first?

I think it's going to depend on where you fall when you watch films. Does shot composition/editing/design/and music elevate your enjoyment of film? Can you appreciate these aspects independently from the plot? Then yes. Do you care about character development? Then yes. Do you enjoy cool action scenes? Then yes. Are you only concerned about the plot beats? Then no.

I thought 300 and Watchmen were pretty good. Sounds like it's actually living up to the hype based on the knee jerk reactions in the thread at least so I might check it out.

Whedon cut isn't just a different edit. It has ADR in places to add superfluous lines, extra rear end shots for...reasons, extra scenes that don't really add anything except make characters act like dicks or make fun of them. A comparison video of Whedon and Snyder is going to be hilarious.
