Just finished and im writing this still in the cinema, with the credits rolling
I liked it. I don't see the hate for it. Critics are over reacting or are just Marvel fans
It also flowed better than BvS and I heard there's a Director's Cut. Better editng on here even with two directors
My only complaint would be the CGI. Looked very video gamish in most parts.
Gal Gadot has a lovely sensuality to her. She really had a 'motherly' role with the league.
Ben Affleck will always be a better Batman than Chris Bale to me.
It's a good entertaining movie and was DC themed throughout. I didn't see any copycatting or tryna Marvel humour
It's the Justice League of America
3/5
Icosign on most of the points you made but I have to say it felt rushed . I wish they didn't cut the movie time from154 minutes to 2hours. What wrong with 2 hours ad 30 minutes? Aren't most movies that length of time on the average?. The movie would've flowed better and aqua man flash and cyborg would've been fleshed out more story wise. The movie kinda felt like it had no soul and the jokes seemed forced. When they was about to resurrect Superman an older dude got up and got his two teen kids and his younger kids out of the theatre. I guess the plot was paper thin to him and he just lost patience for the movie. It was okay but not what it could've been. I will cop the directors cut when it drops. I hope that petition pulls through. How many signatures does a petition need? -
If you're a real DC fan just cop the DVD when it drops bro ... you can't fight Hollywood studio politics

Funnily enough I was watching Suicide Squad last night on Sky (they have a channel dedicated all weekend to showing every DC movie released currently because of JL)
And the final reel in the credits off SS was a precursor for JL -
Batman’s benzo was clean tho.
smh at simpin ass lois lane lyin that Supermayne smells good (n/h) when this ? was a corpse for a year.She a fiend for the D. -

Surprising little ovation/clapping at my local when it finished... people seem to think it's a cool movie -

I really liked JL but I really think movie critics went too hard in the paint on this movie. If I were to take movie critics opinion as 100 I'd never go to the movies. I really think bad word of mouth and swapping directors had a lot to do with how this movie did financially. -
Movie was dope...felt short but not rushed...only seemed like they didn't focus on aquaman's backstory but Mera explaining to him was enough I guess
-
I loved it. Hated the fact it was so short. I don’t even have a complaint about steppenwolf he served his purpose. I just couldn’t get past the fact the CGI on Superman’s face was hella obvious. I just wonder wtf happened to the black suit... and why they felt the need to remove that. definitely looking forward to what comes next.

They tell you why steppenwolf is doing what he's doing too so I don't get the critics backlash lol there's only ONE scene I didn't like and it was...when the team was fighting Superman and Batman gets tossed and they cut back to him and he said "yup something is definitely bleeding" didn't seem like a Batman thing to say/do plus all the in aww moments he had when it came to Superman while I think about it

Can anybody remember wtf they were talking about?Apparently Aquaman never been to Atlantis before or even met Mera so would that explain why he was so underutilized? Could it be possible he doesn't know the extent of his abilities yet?
AlsoWhere the ? was everybody when Steppenwolf attacked Atlantis? For that to be an underwater kingdom it was empty. -

JL will make its money , it has no competition for a full month till Stars Wars destroys everything in sight , (maybe Coco since its Disney/Pixar) but not every age group ? with 3D animation like that , it will still draw crowds. -

I was bored throughout... left before the credits rolled...

I just seen it today. Dope movie. DC is 2/2 in 2017 with their films.

Allegedly its where he told by Vukol about his role as king of Atlantis and he gets his Armor/Weapon -
A lot of aquaman parts been cut.
-
I seen a video online about deleted scenes and I knew where they belonged when they were explaining them...the DVD cut should be even better...seems like WB is making it an effort to have an extended cut/director's cut for their movies but the publicity is hurting more than anything
-
aquaman scene when he was sitting on the lasso was one of the best parts of the movie to me lol...felt like he was the most down to earth character

Why the ? would they take that out? That's important idc if you're saving it for the extended version. -
Classic, gotdamn @ that headbutt Supes put on Wonder Woman. I don't understand what type of movie critics are
expecting,the mid credit and post credit scenes were great. Flash is still young so he's learning his powers but he's
the most powerful member in the league. -
Here is what was supposedly cut/changedHere's what was cut from Justice League Movie:
LONGER: Began with Bruce recruiting Aquaman. It was basically the same scene as I saw in the theatrical version this weekend. However, some lines were added by Whedon and some Zack bits were cut. Aquaman was originally more resilient and shut-off to Bruce here.
DELETED: Barry Allen visits the library because he knows that Iris West is there. He tries to talk to her but fumbles and blushes. He mentions that “he might go and see his Dad today”. Iris likes his awkwardness but doesn’t think he’s all that special. We see Barry breaking the window with his finger to kind-of impress Iris (our FIRST look at his powers). When everyone and Iris are surprised at this window breaking, Barry just says “weak glass” and walks out.
LONGER: History Lesson. But just by some bits. What I was most surprised by was that WB cut out dialogue by the Green Lantern, Zeus and even Ares (Yes, he was there too). They had a couple of lines each. As did Robin Wright and Hippolyta. They just kept the action in and clicked out all dialogue, I guess.
DELETED: After taking the Mother Box from Themiscyra, Steppenwolf actually “talks” to the Box. His mother, Heggra’s essence is alive in the Mother Boxes and bringing them all together would unleash her powers – finally giving Steppenwolf an edge over his uncle – Darkseid. That is what his plan was originally. I thought for sure that they would keep this scene in because they used a dialogue from this scene in the trailers – “No protectors here. No Lanterns. This world will fall. You will be free, mother.”
DELETED – Cyborg’s previous life. He plays a great football match that his MOTHER (Yes, she was cast as well) attends. Afterwards, they drive home. Victor is angry that his Dad never made it while his mother tries to console him. Victor just keeps getting angry and lashing out, loses control of the car – causing a fiery crash.
LONGER – The Gordon scene had a little setup that I didn’t see in the theatrical version. Gordon dismisses a Junkie and tells him to “get better at life” before another cop comes to him with drawings of Parademons. His conversation with the League also ran longer. First, he asks Wonder Woman “if she’s the same woman he keeps seeing reports of in London”. Then, he asks Cyborg “how does he eat? Does he even need to?”.
DELETED: After the attack on Atlantis, Aquaman consults with Mera and Vulko over what he should do next. Mera wants him to stay as King because she “doesn’t trust Orm”. Vulko wants him to do what his heart says. Aquaman confesses that he feels a responsinility to help the people on Earth.
DELETED: The League visits the Batcave. Alfred has humorous reactions to the League. Bruce Wayne talks about a “nightmare” he had. He believes that Steppenwolf will try and resurrect the power of Superman and “that they must do it first unless they want to fight an Evil Kryptonian too.”
CHANGED: Superman’s resurrection was ONLY possible because Cyborg detects foreign genetic material in his DNA a.k.a the Codex. This is the final confirmation needed that Superman can be brought back to life after all. Then, the revival happens pretty much the same.
DELETED: Deathstroke breaks Lex out of prison. They part ways because the cops are hot on their trail – deciding to meet up later at “the location they discussed”.
DELETED: Kent Farm. Superman brings Lois here. however, he is still very confused and not knowing what’s happening. Bystanders are looking at him and clicking his photos. This confuses him further and he actually tries to attack the civilians with his laser-eyes before Lois manages to calm him down. Superman tells her that “the voices won’t shut up”. Later, Martha shows up here and Clark and Lois are already inside the house. Clark is calmer now but still very confused – his powers are going haywire and his senses are heightened. Martha gives the “Picture the world as an Island. Follow my voice and come back to me” speech from MoS. It seems to calm him down. Later, Clark is wearing his shirt when he sees Pa Kent (Yes, Costner was here too) out in the fields. He goes out to see him. Pa Kent talks about “embracing who you really are”. He tells Clark that “you have to make peace with who you are. You have the power to change the world and you can do that as anyone, good character or bad.” Clark finally embraces Superman as a part of him when Lois walks out. Clark confirms their engagement, Lois breaks down because she wasn’t strong enough. Then, Martha comes out too as Clark decides to help the League and flies off. That’s how it happened in my version. I may have paraphrased some dialogue but that was basically it.
DELETED: Clark heads up to meet Alfred and get his suit.
DELETED: Steppenwolf’s second conversation with Heggra. Now that he has all three Mother Boxes – her return to this world can begin.
CHANGED: Bruce’s conversation with Diana after Superman returns. Diana comes in to pop Bruce’s shoulder and tend to his injuries. Bruce reveals that he is willing to die to save the world. In fact, he says “he deserves to die because of what he’s done. He’s killed people and nothing, not even his hate for Superman can justify killing like that”. Diana tells him that “he’s changed now” but Bruce remains adamant that he can only atone himself by sacrificing his life.
CHANGED: Bruce’s Batmobile is headed to certain death during the finale when Wonder Woman and Aquaman interfere and save his life. They tell him that dying in battle won’t do anything and he must live to keep the fight going.
ALTERNATE ENDING WE WERE SHOWN: Cyborg tries to separate the Mother Boxes while Heggra keeps trying to talk him away. Furious, Steppenwolf grabs him and rips him apart – essentially killing him.
CHANGED: Superman joins the fight and teams up with the League to defeat Steppenwolf. However, at one point, Steppy tries to tempt Superman into joining his army and we see Darksied (for the first time) in Superman’s vision and we see flashes of the Knightmare footage. However, Superman SNAPS back from it and delivers the final blow to Steppy, defeating him.
DELETED: Steppenwolf is killed by Darkseid on Apokolips. Darkseid intends to come to Earth to “meet the Kryptonian”.
DELETED: Aquaman meets Mera off the village coast and agrees to come back. Barry steps into the library, Iris smiles at him cutely.
DELETED: Bruce and Barry place Victor’s “body” in the Batcave. Bruce comments that “his organic tissue is dead but it may be possible to reignite his mechanical parts”. Barry promises to help however he can.
DELETED: Lois introduces Perry White to “Clark Kent a.k.a Superman“.
The original after credit scene that was shot in principal photography was Bruce being woken in the night in his lake house by a green light and being visited by Tomar Re and Kilowog. It was cut fairly early on during post. They should release Zack Snyder’s Director’s Cut and Tom Holkenborg’s (Junkie XL) Score for Home Release -

Sounds like a totally different movie.
