I finished the #SnyderCut. It’s terrible. It’s terrible film-making. Boring, incoherent, sullen, flabby, jeopardy free, poe-faced, crap CGI, shit cinematography, baffling fight choreography, and boring. Did I mention how boring it is?
I am a big fan of Cavill as Soops, and GG as WW, but this is arboreal acting – not their fault, the script is charmless and vapid. The zingers don’t zing, the rousing speeches are tiring. Cap does it, Rocket/Ant-Man swoon. Bats does one and worlds beg for Darkseid's sweet release
Falcon and the Winter Soldier is everything that this is not. It’s fun, funny, charming, moving, and cool. It actually builds on the world, and develops the characters, with real world consequences.
#SnyderCut is marginally less fun than the cinema release, but 129 hours longer, so that’s like comparing a punch in the face with a swift knee in the goolies.
Some notes: Slow motion is not a substitute for plot. Sparingly, it’s awesome, but if you use it every 8 minutes it just makes the film slow. Avengers in Ultron did the slo-mo splash panel and we leapt out of our seats. In Justice League I literally began skipping ahead.
Trivial points that highlight the stupid: Aquaman totally reveals Batman’s ID in front of loads of people. Batman does the same for Superman.
No-one knows who Bruce Wayne is. Not even Barry Allen. If Elon Musk turned up at your house, you’d be like ‘Erm, why is Elon Musk in my house?’
Footnote: Elon Musk is less believable than Bruce Wayne.

The biggest dramatic moment is the arrival of the Bat-plane. That’s not drama. NO-ONE CARES.
Also: Batman’s vehicles, all work once, then break. THREE TIMES.
Miles Dyson kills himself for the second time in movie history to prevent something worse, and fails.

Steppenwolf is still badly animated. And his suit did not make me think ‘cool armour’, it made me think ‘that is really impractical, he must really snag things all the time’.
Ooh look it’s J'onn J'onzz. Oh he’s nothing to do with the plot and no-one cares.
BATMAN: FINISHING EACH OTHER’S SENTENCES…
WONDER WOMAN: …IS NOT A SHORTHAND FOR TEAM WORK.

Superman is reduced to a LOTR eagle.
