People make fun of directors like Michael Bay for his explosions. Or JJ for his lens flair.

But those are just memes compared to Snyder and his slowmo. Literally Every scene has some inclusion of it. And some scenes are entirely shot in slowmo. Im willing to bet that at least 1/4 of the Snyder cut is slowmo

What a fuckin hack

The movie could have been an hour shorter if Snyder held some restraint with all the slowmo shots & boring long scenes. How many minutes in the beginning do we have of Superman from the previous film yelling?

What was bad about it for me was that it felt like it should have been a sacrifice. Instead he just explains to himself what he needs to do in order to turn back time in that moment, and voila good guys win.

Yep. I mean thats the ultimate crux of Snyders work. He has cool ideas and he just throws them into the movie. No real setup or payoff.

Not even trolling, I think the movie would be under 3 hours if there were no slow motion shots. It's so, so stupidly overdone.

It was better but not by much.

The designs of Steppenwolf and Darkseid are just bland AF though. They definitely made SW more interesting in this version and better CGI could have definitely helped his case a lot here.

I mean...he was buried as Clark Kent. Nobody but his closest friends and family knew who he was.

As for the slow-mo, I like to think of it like this...

Zack Snyder is a director who has made a career mostly out of comic book adaptations/superhero movies. In a comic book, often you will have stylish still-frame panels with text on them. As you read the text with a particular image in the background, it invokes a certain feeling. You can study the image, see all the details, read all the words at your own pace and really absorb the story.

In a slow-mo scene, it's the same thing. You can really soak in the moment; you can feel everything that's happening. There's no thought of 'wait, what just happened?' because you experienced every single detail as the director intended. Your eyes are saturated with the event, and the action is allowed to take a root in your thoughts while you listen to dialogue, music, or the like.

It may not be for everybody, but I love when a movie lets a scene breathe and be appreciated. It's engrossing if you let yourself enjoy it.

People still don't seem to be getting that under an hour of the first Justice League is in the 4 hour cut, so 3 hours of it is entirely unseen. I didn't love it, but it rounded out a lot of the issues from the first theatrical release, it told a cohesive story instead of being a mess and jumping around everywhere. It's legitimately better overall, and worth the watch, even though I really only give it like a 7/10 compared to the 4/10 or worse the first Justice League was.

For a DC fan, this is what they should have gotten to begin with. I don't know if it really had to be 4 hours though, and I don't think i'd sit through it again.

The movie is 4 hours & 2 minutes, and Zack Snyder wants to release this into the theaters.

The 3rd Lord of the Rings movie was 3 hours & 20 minutes, and even that felt too long. But it is similar in that it has multiple endings. It fades to black and youre relieved that its finally over but nope, yet another scene lol

The listed runtime of the Return of the King Extended Edition is 4 hours and 10 minutes. It's only fair to compare a director's cut with a director's cut, lol

Justice League didn't drag like that, in my opinion. The scenes all meant something, and there was very little dead air. It was all story, character, plot, and action in a thorough telling of a superhero epic.

You ain't wrong

The problem is it's so heavy handed and so overused it feels tacky.

Compared to the MCU where they use it sparingly but to the same effect, it makes those moments extremely unique and memorable.

There are some really great uses of slow-mo in the MCU as well, I agree. I think it should be used more often. One of my favorite scenes in the entirety of the Marvel Universe is the scene near the end of Infinity War with Thanos marching toward Vision, swatting aside everybody who tries to get in his way while a deep, sinister note plays. One by one, they try, and Thanos is just steadily dismantling the last line of desperate defense, slow-mo and all...culminating in Captain America making his final stand, a mere mortal versus a God with five infinity stones. He fails, but you can see the effort on his face until the very last moment--he would have done anything in his power to stop the threat, but he simply wasn't strong enough.

That was an insanely cool scene. Meanwhile, Snyder uses slow-mo more liberally, but it fits the style of his storytelling very well. He really bathes in the slow stuff, the character moments, the ambience, and the aesthetic of the world the characters live in. It's not everybody's cup of tea, as it were, but it's mine and I will drink it every time it's served to me.

Because "Marthaaa" was a great, emotional scene with deep ties to the themes and motivations of the story and characters.

Why did you say that name?

(Batman v Superman Spoilers follow)

Up until that moment, Batman viewed Superman as a Godlike alien with Earth in the palm of his hand. He expected that Superman would one day turn on the Earth and destroy its people. It never even occurred to him that he might just be a guy named Clark from Kansas with a mother he loves and a girlfriend who would put herself in front of a spear to protect him.

Hearing the name Martha snapped him into a confused rage, because he literally had no reason at all to expect Superman to say it. Bruce could only think of his own parents, which reminded him of why he became a crime fighter to begin with. In turn, he realized that Clark's mother was in danger and that her capture was the only reason the fight happened at all.

As for why Superman would say "Martha" and not "Mom?" He was in his Superman persona; even when he was about to die he didn't want to put his loved ones in danger by revealing his identity. Especially to the guy who was about to kill him.

like how other marvel characters gets their own solo movie before joining avengers

and it is getting on my nerves (still halfway though the movie) and im now hoping at least once while someone is talking, the sound, dialogue and scene becomes slowmo
