I do not often use the word "film". It conveys importance and grandeur, and can come across as pretentious when compared to the word "movie". However, this is a 4 hour plus FILM in the truest sense of the word. In fact, I do not consider it hyperbole to say that this might very well be the first true "FILM" in history, it's that good. First of all, the Joker needs to be discussed. Much has been made online of the fact that he is dressed like Jesus Christ. Already you can see the greatness of the film. If a criminal mastermind might be Jesus Christ, then what does that mean for the rest of us? Truly profound thoughts and that's just the beginning of the scene. The Joker does not laugh in this film. Zack Snyder, genius that he is, has already flipped your notions of what the Joker is. You thought he laughed? Sorry, he's Jesus now. Buckle up. Has anyone else been blessed to see this film yet? What did you think of some of the more radical reinterpretations of fan-favorite characters? Personally, I loved seeing Rot Lop Fan recast as Doubting Thomas to Joker's Jesus Christ - brave storytelling that makes you really THINK about what you're watching.

Big Beef City posted:I liked when Professor Xavier fell out of his wheel chair and couldn't get up and started crying when everyone laughed at him that was pretty great but you know Snyder really knows his craft - when the professor finally collapses in grief and exhaustion and the camera zooms out on him lying flat on the ground with his arms out to his sides and the text pops up at the bottom of the screen saying "HE LOOKS LIKE JESUS IN THIS POSE", it really affected me

One bit of dialogue that really spoke to me, and I hope to all of you as well. BATMAN: My parents were shot dead in an alley, that's why I became a creature of fear. To make sure this never happened to anyone else. SUPERMAN: My planet blew up. Billions of parents died, some of them in alleys. And yet, do I strike fear into people? FLASH: To some, perhaps. Perhaps we all do. What is an alley if not a dead end street? And what is a dead end if not a failed promise? Perhaps we've all failed someone. My father is in prison. BATMAN: My father is dead. Shot in an alley. SUPERMAN: My fathers are both dead. My earth father died in a tornado. My space father was blown up with his entire planet. FLASH: Perhaps we can be better fathers one day. This might be why we became superheroes. What can I say except "wow". Snyder has turned a throwaway conversation into a discussion of morality, fatherhood, mortality, and the burden of superpowers.

I liked when Commissioner Gordon called Batman for help because he ate too many spicy tacos and his butthole hurt and Batman didn't know what to tell him and Commissioner Gordon started crying and everyone laughed at him.

DEATHSTROKE THE TERMINATOR: Do you know why I kill people, Superman? Because I am paid for it. So if you're looking for the true villain here, perhaps you should look at the men who pay me? SUPERMAN FLIES INTO A CHURCH, WHICH IS FILLED WITH PEOPLE SELLING SUPERMAN MERCHANDISE SUPERMAN: No, not like this. NOT LIKE THIS! SUPERMAN STARTS FLIPPING OVER THE TABLES FULL OF MERCHANDISE IN SLOW MOTION WHILE "My Sacrifice" PLAYS ON THE SOUNDTRACK CUT TO A PAINTING OF THE LAST SUPPER CUT TO AQUAMAN EATING DINNER WITH THE FLASH

What did everyone think of the new Steppenwolf design? Adding all those extra spikes (I think I read he's 47% spikier now) did a lot to tie the themes of colonialism and manifest destiny closer to the main narrative.

Why only 4 hours why not 8, or 12? We need to see the true really most true vision of genius director man Zachary Synder.

DARKSEID: The motherbox is activated, Earth is being terraformed as we speak. BATMAN: Did you just say Martha box? SUPERMAN (flying in): Did someone say Martha box? MARTIAN MANHUNTER: Did I hear Martian box? FIRESTORM: Martin box? Who said Martin box? Professor Stein, did you hear that, too? METAMORPHO: I think I heard Morphing box? Was that right? Morphing box? AQUAMAN: Marlin Box? WONDER WOMAN: Marping box? What's a marping box? CYBORG: Why'd you say Marping box? WONDER WOMAN: I just wanted to fit in.

I thought, personally, that the scene where Batman and Superman hang dong really gave context to the juxtaposition of their interpersonal relationships. Although, the literal dick measuring contest in the next scene was in poor taste and the choice of “Ballroom Blitz” blaring over the whole thing was an interesting decision. Also, for some reason, it’s the “Tia Carrere” version! El Diablo Bob O fucked around with this message at 16:55 on Mar 17, 2021 |

I remember how in Wonder Woman, Patty Jenkins spent over a million dollars on editing, technology, and literally hiring people to watch and help prevent upskirts and camera shots in an attempt to avoid male gaze. Then in Joss Whedon's justice league...well, they clearly didn't think about this at all. There is a scene where they're supposed to be having a serious discussion and Gal Gadot's rear end is taking up like 60% of the frame. It's a great rear end. ...But is this really the time and place, Joss? quote:I hate myself but not enough to watch over four hours of a Zack Snyder movie I basically came here to say the same thing. I haven't paid for any Zack Snyder films after 300. I hate watch them, if that.

I've never been much into these superhero flicks, so the inclusion of all the scenes (over 100 mins I think) between Lex and the principle shareholders of Lexcorp, as he attempts to assuage their concerns of legal liability, really felt like Snyder reaching out to people like me. 5 bags of popcorn.
