JUSTICE LEAGUE: Zack Snyder Wanted To Include John Stewart in The Snyder Cut But Warner Bros. Refused

Just watch it, some thoughts:

I think once the comparisons with Joss is over and the film is judged by it's own merit, there's a good chance of real discussions. It's not exactly bad per se, it's just... nothing, I mostly felt nothing about this film, it's not that good for an average audience and it does not have moments that infuriate people (except maybe the Joker moments) yet satiate those who crave for it like BvS.

It is better than Joss in most aspects, miss the mark on some aspects. But on it's own, it does nothing for me.

In fact I would say the initial critics are very lenient because of a) the whole sad story around the Snyder Cut and the whole movement b) the comparison to Whedon's version and c) potentially angering the fanbase and potentially inviting rabid harrasment (especially for dishonest grifters like Grace who has been riding the Snyder wave really hard).
It's the final critics that would truly tell the worth of the movie. I'm expecting at least 5 to 4 out of 10 from most critics on average.

Wait, so he wanted Green Lantern but got Martian Manhunter instead. Does this mean this was even before he started considering Swanwick as MM?

Anyway, what I take away from this is that there were plans for John (and by extent I presume Hal too). So WB, where is my Green Lantern movie!?

just watched it, here are my thoughts

Hour 2 was the best and made me remember the feeling of Zack snyder's watchmen with that sprawling cast.

Then Hour one was good, but too much extended scenes.

Hour 3 started to loose me a bit. BUt I did love the vs superman fight, easily the best action scene in the film with the wonder woman opening fight.

Hour 4 was bad, the action in justice league against steppenworlf is really mediocre. And the ending that was setting up was stupid. Zack should have made his film finale since he knows he won't follow it up.

Other notes I would add, the music editing was horrifyingly bad, some of the music added really did not fit at all and so much just cam so suddenly. If they had a music editing razzie, this would get it.

So much bloody songs, why is everyone singing all the time???
It felt way too much like a music video at times.
Zack used way too much slow mo, I mean it's a 4 hour movie so we really felt it in this case.
I feel flash was half decent, sometimes annoying like with that hot dog, sometimes great like with his father.
I like superman in this film the most, but I dislike Ben affleck in this one, it feels lihe he's much less into his performance than he was in BVS.

This movie is definitely much better than the joss whedon one but I definitely understand the changes since how the hell do you release a 4 hour film in cinema. It's a very interesting experiment but I don't think i'll rewatch it.
i think my rating would be 3 stars and it would go between age of ultron and iron man 2 in quality.

Now hoping next for some great cinema with the batman.

For the GL series
