The Justice league "Snyder cut as it is called" is a great movie. However the methodology for determining the success of the Snyder Cut seems to be somewhat rigged. That is only, my opinion after all but I draw my conclusion from a few factors. The Snyder Cut is a movie meant for the cinema, the big screen but viewed from the comfort of your home. Now with the revolution brought about by Netflix we have gotten used to viewing movies on Tv screens, Laptop screens and even phone screens at times although I feel that completely robs a movie of it's potential. Due to the success of Netflix mainly and other such streaming Platforms we have seen films which were made for the small screens, which were made to be relished from the comfort of your own home. The Snyder Cut was not such a movie, it's apparent to from the theatrics, from the sound effects, from the action sequences that such a movie is robbed of it's true potential when it is viewed from your Laptop screen. Would Avatar have been such a huge success had you watched it for the first time on your laptop screen? Consider Thor's entrance in Infinity war where he demolishes Thanos's army with his newly acquired storm breaker, would It really be a fan favourite scene without feeling the impact of amazing, powerful,thrilling sound effects and viewed on a laptop screen instead of a 100 ft tall cinema screen? Taking into account these factors, the success of the Snyder Cut is highly underrated, imagine a movie made for the big screen adjusted to the small screen and still winning at it, imagine it's true potential. Secondly, the expectations form it are just unfair to the movie. Somehow the Snyder Cut has been viewed as a beacon of hope by a loyal yet desperate fanbase. As if somehow one movie could magically fix everything wrong the on screen adaption of the DCEU. That's an unfair expectation from one movie, but the that being said the Snyder Cut is definitely a step in the right direction. That being established. The Snyder Cut does get a lot of things right; doing Wonder Woman the justice she really deserves. It can't be summarised into words, at least by me but WW really really got the justice she deserves, being the queen heroine of the DC universe. The simplest way to determine if someone had performed well for a super hero role? After watching them you just can't imagine another actor who could've been better for the role, they just seem to fit to the vision and WW definitely does so. Secondly, the Cyborg and Flash are much more prominent characters and not only side characters as unintentionally portrayed in the movie's predecessor. The addtional scenes really piece the movie together, the movie makes much more sense, the characters make much more sense, the additional screen time allotted to each character make for a much better viewing experience. Steppenwolf is given motive to attack Earth, a part which was completely missing from the theatrical cut of the film. The overall theme of the film is much more serious and "dark" a theme which does seem to go hand in hand with the path the DCEU has elected to go with. My ability to analyse and critique fails me in making any additional remarks without giving solid spoilers. If I were to make any recommendation it would be that the film definitely could've benefitted from some Hans Zimmer magic.
