Will this suck more than Josh Whedons version ?
3 hours of pure garbage vs 2 hours of pure garbage ? hmm tough one to call
shareI think it will actually be a little better since they are pumping even more money into it. Whedon's was so awful there is only room to go up.
shareYou do know the original movie was made by Synder and not whedon? Whedon only added bits here and there, whereas the majority of the movie was Synder's.
The fun, emotional and light-hearted bits to the movie were from Whedon - take those out and your left with an emotionless, dull and boring movie that Synder created and that will now be even more longer to get depressed with.
Yes, of course. The core of the original film was Snyder's, but there were a lot of reshoots, especially with Superman, and Whedon did the editing which is essentially piecing it all together. The end result was a terrible film. So bad that Snyder will probably try to make something almost completely different which he can do because there is probably like 5 or 6 hours of actual footage and then they gave him 30 million to beef up the CGI. Will it be better than terrible? Maybe, certainly not saying it will be any good.
shareThe whole point is Whedon made it decent coherent story, might not been the best but he sugarcoated it with his niceties and now they will be taking out the of the nice sugar coating and adding more of the bad cake on top of it - CGI was not the problem the bad storyline was and 30 million on 250+ already is not much at all.
We'll have to wait and see but going on Snyder previous record you will see he's all style over substance (images / symbolism and messages rather a coherent storyline) and that can probably work on a trailer which is why all the trailers have been decent but a tentpole movie likes this you need substance.
Well we don't really know if Snyder's version would not have been a coherent story, but I guess we'll find out. I don't disagree his filmmaking is all style rather than exposition, but I do disagree that Whedon's final cut was anything decent. Loads of people complained about the CGI in this film from Superman and the villain to the ending, personally I felt it was fine. I get what your saying, Whedon polished a turd and Snyder will just replace the polish with dirt.
All in all, I do find it interesting that this is actually coming out after years of people pleading for it.
I never hesitate to admit when i'm wrong, so if it turns out his original vision was the movie of the century or even a really decent movie and it was chopped down to bits by the studio or whedon then i will admit i was wrong, but my gut tells me i'm not and even though he might had ideas of a spectacle and grandeur i don't think it will be much better or overpowered by is style or more likely worse then the current JL.
The CGI was poorly done but that was the least of the problems of the JL movie.
Least there was someone in Warner Brothers who wants to see that synder vision because highly doubt public wanting it would make them change there minds to put money towards releasing an uncompleted movie because most studios won't even release a director cut of movie even if its already complete.
Actually no. Look up Zack's panel where he outlines his original Justice League. Also Zack says he estimates only 25% of his film was used. The DP who worked with Snyder and Whedon says only 10% of what Zack shot was used. Essentially there were 3 writers. What Zack wrote, what Geoff Johns rewrote, and what Whedon re wrote. Zack filmed both his and Geoff's stuff. Whedon did a compelte rewrite of the film and wrote another version of the story that condensed ZAck's 214 min version to a 2 hour version. So the JL Theatrical release only had upwards of 30 mins of Zack's footage.
shareThat wouldn't really be true in that case why go 75% when they could have just made into 100% Whedon's vision? that was probably the studio telling him to say it to distance the film from his previous MOS & BVS disasters.
So if the original justice league was a quarter or so by Zack Synder and the core of the film was his but improved by whedon? So now they will take out the humorous parts which are whedons and the more grounded bits and what are you left with a dull and humourless and even worse bits of the film, is that correct?
As i said going by what synder has created with MOS and BVS then it doesn't look good for the snyder cut of JL, it looks like it will a bigger bloated mess then what Whedon improved it into and even that was a average at best, think what it would have been without that improvement.
