Justice League (Zack Snyder, November 17, 2017) Movie • Page 108

i know it’s redundant with a snyder movie but it was soooo overly ridiculously self-serious that it ruined for me what could have been a cool idea

 

Yeah, this is literally my order too, except I have Shazam! at the top. It's just great all around, you're missing out.

 

Shazam, Birds of Prey, Wonder Woman, and even Aquaman are so clearly head and shoulders better than all the others

 

I think my ranking would be:

MoS
BvS Ultimate
Snyder's JL
WW
BoP
Shazam
Aquaman
WW84
SS

 

Damn, I need to watch BoP. But I will say BvS Ultimate Edition is one of the worst films I have ever seen.

Unpopular opinion but I did enjoy MoS enough. Everything involving John Kent was awful though.

Shazam was a joy front to back.

 

Shazam
BoP
Wonder Woman
Aquaman
ZSJL = JL
WW84
MoS
BvS
SS

 

Yes you do, it’s great

 

pretty sure he fumbled that touchdown

 

There was no need for that entire football sequence to be in slow motion

 

fixed

 

BoP
WW
Shazam
BvS Ultimate
Aquaman
MoS
Snyder's JL
SS
WW84

only the top 3 are "good"

 

Still need to see Shazam. I honestly think I enjoyed aquaman the most because I was expecting it to be absolute shit and it was actually fun.

 

gunn squad’ll be better than everything mentioned

 

doubtful

 

It will hard for much to beat WW and MoS when it comes to DC imo

 

Can we talk about how hot Ben looked in the epilogue? Seemed like he was going through it the last few years but Shoosh

 

I ain't gonna give a full ranking, not because I've joined the ol' anti-ranking bandwagon, but because that part of superhero movie discussion is exhausting to me now.

I will say that #1 by a very strong margin is Birds of Prey and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn. And, my current second favorite is probably Zack Snyder's Justice League, because of how delightfully over indulgent it is. Followed by Shazam!, for all its dope family stuff, which is a better heart than most films in this genre. And, I haven't seen Aquaman (which gets points for drumming octopus) or WW84.

 

Birds of Prey is easily my favourite too, super fun film.

 

first noticed this in his chat with fincher on zoom. man’s has come through the other side and we love him for it

 

will it

 

yeah it definitely will, and then The Batman has a shot at being even better than that

 

I finally finished this. I do think there is a solid movie buried in this. It really does play like an assembly cut though. I do wish that Zack Snyder took this opportunity to try to release the best and strongest version of this movie and not just the longest. With proper editing I think this is one of the stronger DC movies, and it certainly would have held its own against most of the Marvel films.

I feel like it really came together towards the end, and as the final battle played out against Steppenwolf I was as fully on board as I ever can be with a comic book movie like this. As much as I was with a movie like Aquaman or Avengers: Endgame for example. It struggled most in the earlier sections with laying the groundwork and filling in backstories, and this is where you really felt the lack of earlier movies setting these characters up. There were big chunks of the earlier part of this where I legitimately opened another window and was shopping for blinds & curtains and fantasy-shopping for watches that I can’t afford, particularly the long exposition scenes. The Knightmare sequence was completely unnecessary and shouldn’t have been a part of this. I feel like that sequence was just a proof-of-concept where Snyder wanted to show off what he wanted to do with the sequels that he’s probably not going to be able to make. That Lois & Martha scene obviously was originally - and absolutely should have stayed - a straight Lois & Martha scene. That wasn’t Martian Manhunter and never should have been. I audibly groaned at that. Snyder needs someone to tell him ‘no’ once in a while for fuck’s sake. Jesus. I actually didn’t mind Leto’s Joker in this at all. His portrayal worked for me, despite the fact that the entire sequence should have been dropped. Or not filmed at all I suppose is more accurately the case.

I can only think of one thing I missed from the Whedon version, and that was Ben Affleck telling Flash to “save one”. Otherwise, everything else from that piece of shit was washed away here, which was awesome.

I know I am biased being from the Boston area and all, but my man is sexy AF.

 

I have to watch the whole thing but man the first 30 minutes bored me with ugly CGI and I can't stand WW
