I'm looking forward to this, but I think after it's released people might look more fondly on the Whedon cut with it's lighter tonality and somewhat decent attempts at humor to lighten it up and make it fun.
I'm not hedging an entire argument on this, but Snyder takes his "green-screen-only epic filmaking" a bit too seriously for a guy that has quite frankly never actually produced an epic film in his career. Some good movies? Sure. But Spielberg and Jackson he aint. The Whedon cut is bashed a little harshly because of a combination of sociological staking towards Marvel and other opportunistic criticisms like the Super Stache. And this isn't a new thing - people get on the wagon with whatever the social flow is at the time, even if it is a stretch. It was like saying that "Iron Man 2 had too much Avengers setup and that's why it sucked" when in fact there is almost no real Avengers setup in that movie at all - maybe one true scene and that's it. All I'm saying is that it was popular to bash Justice League - in some ways rightfully so but in any of the stretch ways it was just piling on. And while I'm sure that Snyder's version is going to be more fleshed out and maybe a little more cohesive, it will probably be your typical, drawn out, purely synthetic world Snyder flick with his typical color pallet and hopes for an epic film but not quite there. I want this movie to save the DCEU. But it isn't going to. And then going forward we will be in for agenda-Superman, weirdo Pattman, and who knows what other deviations from otherwise great source material in the future. |
