    I know they have to try and keep the hype train going on this one, but I wish they’d just cool the jets a bit.

    There’s only so much hype you can generate for a film that’s already been released before it falls over the edge.. I’d say most people are only interested in this as a comparison piece.

    I'd be interested to know what you base that on.

    And this story is not a good promotional piece for the movie or the studio. Even though WB are acting on it they still didn't respond well /missed what was going on.

    I',m sure they would much rather no one knows about any of it.

    Visually speaking alone it should be a worthwhile spectacle. Based on the teasers so far Whedon really did suck the life out of any colour in Snyder's scenes so that they would mesh with his own.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 974 ✭✭✭Psychiatric Patrick


    I'll ask again :pac::pac:

    How much of the principle photography had Snyder completed and how much of the theatrical release was his footage?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,617 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    No one knows! Will be interesting when we finally get the answer. I'd say most of Superman's scenes in the TC were Whedon's and Snyder claims he won't use one bit of Whedon's work so that in itself should change Superman's story significantly.

    There are different accounts on line on how much of the movie footage came from which director. I thought maybe some some had figured it out :D

    I did read that Snyder said that about the Whedon stuff. I knew the question would be asked and I expected some kind of diplomatic response and fir the question to get asked over and over.

    Snyder was not diplomatic at all and no one is going to ask the question again :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,617 ✭✭✭The White Wolf


    Snyder isn't a subtle bloke online and is exactly how you'd expect him to be watching his films! Not saying he's an arse or anything but he's very loud in his statements.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,595 ✭✭✭kerplun k


    I'd be interested to know what you base that on.

    Absolutely nothing, just my general opinion.

    I’ve already seen the Snyder teaser trailer from 2016 comic con, now I’d like to see a final Snyder trailer and then the actual cut.

    I’m interested in this as a comparison piece. I’m interested in the tone, style visuals and slight narrative deviations from the OG, but keep in mind, it’s going to be essentially the same film, so again I’d rather they keep the hype to a minimum.

    I’ve already seen the marketing campaign, watched the movie and spent time digesting it, I don’t need to be sold it again. I think overhyping this will obscure people’s expectations. Again, It’s not a new film, it’s a film that’s already had a full on multi million dollar marketing campaign, wide released, followed by a Snyder cut campaign and then a re-release. I think this cut would benefit from a bit of breathing space, let Snyder do his thing, let him finish what he wanted to do and then we’ll watch it and compare to Whedon's film.

    Agree. Whedons version really did look so bland.
    I’m Looking forward to seeing the visuals in Snyder's version.

    Whedon was always a weird choice as a quick gap filler. He's an absolutely terrible, TV grade director; and even if only Synder can do Synder, surely they could have got someone more cinematic and cine-literate ala Ron Howard, a solid professional. Sure, Whedon for rewrites but not directing too. Past is past of course but seemed like a bad decision by WB

    Not even for rewrites Pix. :)

    Personal opinion of his output aside, Joss Whedon is a writer. That's his strength and career in a nutshell. Writers pivoting to directing is a mixed bag at best, dating back to Michael Crichton or Stephen King trying their hands with hilarious results. What Ron Howard did with Solo was a minor miracle (again. Leaving aside subjective quality of the end result) and more suited to the crash job needed on justice League

    Charlie Kaufman’s Synecdoche, New York springs to mind here.

    In the context of it being one of the all time great pieces of modern cinematic art, I hope :)

    What I saw was an incoherent mess, but each to their own I suppose. :D

    I must give it a rewatch. Perfect timing as well before CKs new film, I'm Thinking of Ending Things is released.

    An opinion has to nee based on something though.

    I have of an interest than just comparing the two. I want a truly epic super team up movie.

    Having the same story doesn't make it the same movie.

    Where is the hype thing coming from? The investigation is separate and not something WB want us focusing on. Since the the start the whole Snyder Cut think has been a fairly small blip on the internet.
    it is not exactly flooding us like Star Wars was

    Jaysus I misunderstood that last bit for a moment

    Didn't even think it might be a joke - thought you were serious :rolleyes:

    I thought the song was slapped on by the uploader initially, probably because I wasn't expecting it.

    But I like the combination of song and scenes in the end, they felt fitting.
    Loved the bit at the end, it feels like they're taking the Apocalypse seriously this time around.:pac:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 61,272 ✭✭✭✭Agent Coulson


    I did like the song actually I think it suited the trailer well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,654 ✭✭✭Mr Crispy


    Just made me think of the awful Watchmen sex scene tbh.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,411 ✭✭✭✭McDermotX


    4hrs long

    4 parts, but will be watchable as a single film according to Snyder himself.

    I always avoid trailers. Not just in case it reveals story details but I considered knowing how a film looks to be a spoiler.

    Couldn't resist watching this though.

    Is that Darkseid at the start

    I know there was lot of chatter about Superman having a black costume and it seemed like a lot of fans what it. Why is that?

    I'm a sucker for superhero costume being as close to the original designs as possible, especially keeping Superman and Spider-Man in blue and red.

    Superman needed the black costume to recover quicker to help absorb the suns rays. (Black absorbs and white reflects) its in the comics.

    Okay. Now that you explain I feel thick for not copping on :pac::pac:

    I hope he is back in the traditional colours at the end.

    I assumed that it was Desaad in the hood in the trailer but Heavy Spoilers on YouTube pointed out that it could be Steppenwolf being banished from Apokilips after first invasion of earth failed. The face design seems to match the facial design of Steppenwolf in a later scene (from what we can slightly see).
