Fun Fact: In the ultimate cut of BvS Superman dies at 2hrs 38 min and coincidentally in ZSJL he resurrects at 2hrs 38min. Snyder never skips a bit.

After watching this movie, I completely understand why Ray Fisher was pissed with how the theatrical cut turned out. Dude got his potentially star making turn completely butchered.

“I’m not broken, and I’m not alone,” is the definitive moment of the film for me. Full circle on Cyborg accepting himself for what he is and not seeing himself as a freak or monster who felt he was meant to be alone.

A subtle thing that I really loved : *Recognising the human side of Cyborg is still alive and everyone addresses him by his real name* - Bruce asked Diana, after recruiting Barry, "Where's the Cyborg?" To which she replied, "His name's Victor.." Later on while entering Star Labs, Bruce said, " *Victor* clear this place out !"

One of my favorite details is a firm indication for why this version of Steppenwolf works so much better than the Wheden version. When the innocent man tells Steppenwolf "Please! I have a family!" Joss's version of him says "Why does everybody keep telling me that?" which hammers home the idea that he's meant to be a heartless conquerer who doesn't care about anything beyond that and himself isn't anything beyond that. But in the Snyder cut he instead responds with "Then you have weakness." a simple line change that suggests that Steppenwolf understands what it's like to have a family and understands how much of a liability it is to be too attached. A simple line that implies history, and a lot of hard lessons Steppenwolf had to learn.

Flash: I'm sorry. You have a satellite? Batman: I have six. Yeah, because Superman and Zod kryptonically effed up the seventh.

For those who don’t know, Snyder filmed the entire movie in 4:3 because he wanted the entire movie to be experienced in IMAX. That’s IMAX aspect ratio

11:05 The best part about this is that Cyborg could have just read the audio info straight off the broken tape. He had to have scanned the entire casette to reconstitute it, so he would have had the audio info he could have just played back to himself. But he didn't. He wanted to hear, with his own ears, his father's words with his father's voice.

I just... really appreciate how the Justice League cares for each other. Like, they're genuine friends! Arthur asks after Victor's mental health, Batman accomodates Barry's need to eat a lot, Diana enquires about the safety of each member, Barry and Victor banter like the twenty-year-olds they are. They actually like each other!

NO soundtrack in existence will beat Superman’s “flight” theme. That score holds a special place in my heart and ALWAYS gives me chills.

I get that WB wanted a 2 hour movie, but I don’t get how they redid nearly the entire ending. Flash saving the universe by rewinding time is infinitely better than “Dostoevsky!”

Dude, The Prince of Egypt is an underrated flick that deserves time in the CinemaWins spotlight. Just saying.

Wait, no win for "It wanted to fly. Flight is it's nature." "Your's too." Such a beautiful moment between Bruce and Victor

Honestly the weird thing about Steppenwolf is that he’s never been my favourite DC Villain and while that still remains the case with ZSJL this is also the first time I’ve felt a more threatening presence from the character through the Re-Design compared to any other incarnation.

Fun fact: Ezra Miller's scenes were shot on Zoom to get close ups when he was filming in London while Ben Affleck and Jared Leto were on set.

As a huge Marvel fan I'm so proud of this movie. This is The Justice League I knew they could be all this time, the one that dominated comics sales for decades I do not compare it to any Marvel movie but to the animated series: JLA and JLAU and it delivered

The scene where Superman takes flight again as his fathers speak to him always gets me emotional. It's a beautiful culmination to his arc in these three films, capped off perfectly with Pa Kent saying, "You're ready, son. Fly." And then the Superman theme kicks in more triumphant than ever, and I cry every time.

Joss Whedon: "I believe in truth. But I'm also a big fan of justice" Zack Snyder: "Not impressed."

Something I noticed rewatching ZSJL is how much I appreciate Aquaman's character development with his interaction with each of the JL members. Stand-offish with Cyborg, dismissive of Batmans' plans and hope, weirded out by Flash, and uneasy with Wonder Woman. Then he becomes more trusting of Cyborg and his abilities, has more faith in Batman and his plans, more comfortable with Flash to put his life in his hands, and realises how alike he and Wonder Woman are. You really feel like this Aquaman is starting to find his place in the world with this team.

BvS opens with a poem where Bruce says “what falls is fallen” as in a failure is resolute and permanent. People thought it was grim. But even in BvS & especially on ZSJL we see Bruce was wrong. Men are still good. We’re better together. Nobody is beyond redemption and a second chance. That’s a lesson we all need.

I have to say, the fact that you totally skipped Silas' awe and pride at seeing HIS SON leading a group of superbeings into the lab is truly a disservice. That moment is so important. Victor went from "you made me a monster" to that? I wept. I won't lie.

Another missed win: the trumpet heavy version of the MoS theme when Superman shows up in the climax. Feels like a combination of Zimmer and Williams’s themes. It helps evoke the feeling that Cavil has now become the Superman we all know and love. Much better then the half hazard use of Williams’s theme in the theatrical version.

If we're gonna talk about Re-Do's I think Reynolds really needs to give Green Lantern another shot. I feel like after all he's learned since then would make for a much better Green Lantern movie/universe, which I think we desperately need.

didn't see this movie but watched the Darkseid scenes and DANG! with Thanos, he was scary and intimidating but still had that human quality to him that you could relate to (to an extent). Darkseid is just pure evil and malice; an eldritch, god-like being that can't be reasoned with and Ray Porter did a great job! Props to the Snyder cut!

3:10 there's a real neat tiny implied moment during this sequence after Barry gets knocked down. Supes is about to use heat vision, and Barry instinctively throws his hand up in front of him the same way he does at 9:43 when he phases through the explosion, implying that he might have tried to protect himself the same way here as well, had the military not distracted Superman by shooting at him.

My absolute favorite part of the movie was right before Cyborg’s “I’m not broken” moment when you finally see him as he really is in his minds eye. Before that, in his head he always looked the way he did before the crash, but he completely accepts himself and who he is in that moment

Let's get an HBO 8-episode Justice League series that runs through the events that led up to the nightmare scenario and its conclusion!!! That would be amazing!!

Fun fact: in BVS, flash had said 'lois, shes the key' implying that if she dies, superman will detroy earth

You gotta love the jokers cop vest with all of the badges of presumably dead cops. So dark, so great

The speed of force scene did deserve that Oscar

Seeing Cyborg's arc in this movie makes me feel a bit depressed since Ray Fisher's conflict with WB means we're not getting a Cyborg film any time soon.

Welp, that's it, you finally convinced me to watch this thing. For as much as I respect Snyder as a man who has a vision that he genuinely believes in and is willing to go to extreme lengths to bring his movies to life the way he wants, I've just never been a fan of his vision. To me it always felt too grim dark and over dramatic for the wrong reasons. But goddammit, the fact that this movie even exists is one hell of an artistic achievement, and as a lifelong fan of DC and comics in general it just doesn't feel right to not even give it a chance

Zack Snyder’s Justice League was amazing, watching it made me feel like I did when I was a kid watching Justice League/JL Unlimited. Truly an epic masterpiece IMO they should bring back Zack Snyder for Justice League 2 and 3

The Flash Speed Force scene is the best scene in the DCEU. It even won an Oscar for that!

The DCU scores really are superior. The Wonder Woman theme is superb but I adore how this version made Superman's necessity to victory and superiority to the other heroes obvious. The way he can take on all of them when they were just kicking ass and especially in Barry's case, best them is shown but I think Whedon's version showed that as well. His version of this movie always will make me wonder how the same director that gives us The Avengers also gave us this! Unbelievable!

You missed one. Cyborg saying, "Let's go get that son of a bitch," after they realize that Silas' sacrifice was a successful attempt to make the last mother box easy to track.

An idea that i always had and thought was cool, was that Superman's ship ITSELF could've become Brainiac. Not because of any hints or anything. I just think it would've worked pretty well. The ship's AI is so advanced it can predict the future and has some form of willpower. Brainiac was literally a Kryptonian computer in the animated series too

I think adding the Nightmare stuff is Snyder telling audiences "this is what I was going to do but couldn't". Every single thing done by DC will always be compared not to what we see in that scene, but to what we imagine it would have been like after watching the scene.

The humans burying the box works on multiple levels, one, because there wasn't some big, grandiose monument to the box that just screamed "Look at me! I'm something important to just take!" and two, because the boxes were so important and so powerful, it would never cross Steppenwolf's mind that someone would just toss one into the dirt.

I really love how ZSJL upgraded Cyborg's character by a huge margin. Ini JWJL, his character was bland and simple. He was my least favorite character in terms of writing. But here? Cyborg is my favorite character. His burden and character development really shined through.

The one thing about Darkseid i love is his voice. I've heard many and all of them are great but Ray Porter's is just comic accurate in some way. Groveling, death, full of malice and hate and distaste for life. So. God. Damn. Good.

"Who have you ever loved?" Lady, you've got some cajones telling that to *BATMAN,* the president of the Fictional King of Losing People Club!

09:42 the first time I watched this, I didn't realize that Barry had phased through the unity wave, and that's why he was unaffected. Just a small detail I love.

Martian Manhunter was always in the movie as Martha and that scene is unchanged. Just the final scene with Bruce and Martian Manhunter was supposed to be Bruce and Joh Stewart, played by Wayne T Carr.

Not my original thought but I love this: notice how it's the new, young heroes that save the day. Flash reverses time on the doomsday and Cyborg disables the Motherboxes from within. Bruce's goal was to put a team together, to inspire hope rather than fear and he succeeded. Damn I wish Cyborg could've had another go in the movies - he so deserves it.

I love how Zack made Batman the founder of Justice League not like a part timer Batman used to be in the animated series.

6:40 The black suit mattered in the sense that Superman is embracing himself rather than being a symbol for others. Jonathan's new line "You need to show them who you are" along with Superman keeping the black suit after the fight seem to lend credence to this idea.

Not to be to much of a nerd but no, Batman doesn’t have a contingency plan to kill every member of the league, his plans are always to take them down, not kill, small but significant detail about how he treats every one in his life

I loved ZSJL, i had the same experience between BvS in the theatre, and then the ultimate cut at home. (A movie i gave a second chance, solely because of this channel and that episode, so thank you for that. Affleck is my Batman.) The extended version is superior in every way, and that is was given a disc release too? That we even got that is amazing, i figured it would only ever be available on streaming. This is four hours of time that was well spent.

Dude, I cried my eyes out when I watched this film. Snyder has ALWAYS understood Superman. And he transitioned that understanding to include the entire Justice League, yes Superman is the most conventionally powerful ( original 7)JL member in a fight, but Barry, whose a human, ended up saving the world. THATS respect. Man of Steels “flight” theme is my favorite superhero theme because I remember 2013, when the chips were down and people didn’t think a feature movie of Superman would ever work outside of Reeves’ era. And boom, Zack comes along and knocks it out of the park. When “flight” came on, it was the moment Superman flew again, riding high. And now test screenings of the Flash are giving me reports that Zod shoots down Superman’s ship? NO! Absolutely not. I will start a march on WB’s HQ and demand they undo such a fundamentally detrimental decision to the DCEU. The current DCEU is built on the back of Superman, and killing him or erasing him in ANY way, it isn’t DC anymore, I don’t know what that would be. The Justice League are the beacons of the DCEU and the Justice League needs you Superman (Henry Cavill).

Surprised there wasn’t a win for the score during Flash’s speed force scene. “At The Speed of Force” is such a good piece

The reason Snyder made it in 4:3 is because he filmed it that way and wanted to show the entire actual frame of what he filmed.

The Snyder Cut was great not just in comparison to the terrible Weldon cut but on its own its great.

The “he’s a country boy you can’t call him master..oh wait” joke got me ☠️

I really hope there’s a “The Batman” video in the future! That would be a three parter I’d think

"It's all funny games until someone's girlfriend is standing too close to the street" That brings some memories. (The Boys)

6:07 I really wished they had a shot zooming in on the broken mech suit helmet, like the shots of Darth Vader's helmet in TFA. Just to signify how he's changed, and how his rage and hubris led him on that dark path.

At the speed of force still gives me chills.

Seriously, the speed of force scene makes me tear up every time. I don't know why but it does.

As far as I know Ryan as Hal was never going to be a thing, but Zack did shoot a scene of an actor named Wayne T. Carr as John Stewart. He showed the scene to Warner and they said we actually have other plans for that character. So he did the Martian Manhunter instead

I’ve always avoided this channel but damn if this wasn’t a great bit of film positivity. So many channels are about tearing films down and hating on film(*cough Geeks and Gamers/Critical Drinker/Mauler cough*). You celebrate it. And that’s the biggest win of all. Your enthusiasm, which I feared would feel forced, just doesn’t. This is a legit video about things you like about this movie and you aren’t concerned with appeasing the Snyder haters or Snyder fan boys. So good on ya.

as a person that never saw justice league 2017 Snyder cut I still think this is an amazing movie and definitely one of the best superhero movies.

***True Story*** I just watched brentford beat Chelsea 4:1 and I've got a 30 min train journey home, silver lining was seeing part 2 was released 👌

Moss is about father's, BvS is about mothers, and this movie is about family. Love all three of them.

I really do like that even though this movie is similar in tone to MOS and BVS, it feels a lot more uplifting. The heroic aspects of the characters are emphasized more, and the team feels like they really care about eachother. There were some great emotional moments, especially with Barry and Victor with their dads.

9:43 I literally cried during that scene. Best scene in any superhero movies.

This was a really good redo I enjoyed and liked it as it didn’t seem like “trying to be marvel” it was a solid “dark DC” film that I’m happy was made. I even watched it in grey!

9:40 "Shayera, it's so beautiful here. There's a force, a speed force, it's calling me home. I need to go"

corridor crew has done several react videos covering many aspects of how technically marvelous this film is, I highly recommend you check them out!!

“Tell me you don’t want to see anarchist Batman take on Stalinist Superman” Bruh………no. No, we don’t. We’ve had enough movies of them fighting each other. It’s gotten boring. We (or, at least, *I*) want movies of them being teammates, friends and, most importantly, HEROES. Besides, there’s already a Superman: Red Son animated film.

Whoever thought this movie needed a lighter tone should be FIRED!!!

Congrats on reaching 2 million subscribers, Lee! 👏👏👏🥳🥳🥳🥂🎂 If Jeremy is the dark of cinema culture, then you are the light! Without question! Keep shining, bud! 😁😁😄😀

6:45 the only difference the black suit provides is more solar energy absorption which means he’s stronger innately when wearing it

"He's just a country boy; you can't call him master...oh wait..." Oh, man. 🤣

I love the little electricity sparks around superman and cyborg when they're..reversing the disintegration.. those small details look so great and you're so right about the score. So so good.

Film Theory has an interesting theory how the Josstice League and ZS Justice League can exist in the same story line.

PLEASE Do EGA WolfWalkers! It’s a spectacular work of art and Cartoon Saloon needs more love and attention!

IIRC, Zack Snyder said somewhere that he made Justice League in 4:3 because most of the action was vertically oriented and he wanted to narrow the viewer's focus in the center of the screen.

I love the not-so subtle shot at WW84 around 8:40

i still maintain that bruce wayne does actually use his money for stuff with charity but that doesnt make for good cinema so they never really cover it in the movies

This movie deserved to be released in this form but I think the way it ended up being released in two different states has done something amazing for cinema. We get to see a pretty sub-par movie get transformed into some of the best cinematic content from the DCEU. It's pretty impressive, and something that I would love to see happen more often.

I still think that the black suit makes sense since its actually heavily implied that there was some sort of technological exchange between the Kryptonians and the New Gods (the Motherbox reacts to the superlaser the same way the metal from the Kryptonian ship does and Batman's new gauntlets can absorb Parademon weaponry the same way they can Kryptonian weaponry) so I actually think the box only revived him some of the way and wouldn't have worked at all if he wasn't Kryptonian, so it makes sense that the ancient Kryptonians would have needed the special black suit to heal up after being revived the same way the black suit worked in the comics.

19:48 Darkseid looks like classic Marvel Apocalypse there.

as much as I dont love the zack snyder movies in general, I do think justice league is pretty awesome and this cut of it should have been the theatrical release

Well, Hans Zimmer composed for the DCEU and that just instantly trumps everything the MCU has to offer.

For those who don't know: Bruce Wayne singlehandedly funds every single charity in Gotham from orphan houses to nursing homes to student loan pay off agencies and business start up charities.

"...girlfriend is standing too close to the streets" The Boys ref is Dope ;)

The Academy Award winning Justice League everybody

i really hope one day we will get everything great about a silent voice, that movie deserve so much love

I mean... the MCU know it can't just start creating themes for every super hero they introduce because it woould just end up being a cacophony of litemotives in an event like end game, even then, they decided to give each member of the original avengers a certain not leitmotive but light musical representation, which ultimately culminates in the avengers theme always. The DCEU has it easier that way: They can learn faster from Marvel and start improving for a less Dineyfied audience, this also means they can concentrate more in they're principal characters, specially their trinity, and they decided to not give an specific motive to the groups because they have not yet the correct way of setting them up in a proper universe outside of the little DCEU pre The Batman and The Flash

Dude that VA comment hit home. Been in pain for six months due to a service related back injury. The local VA clinic told me they aren't accepting new patients at the moment. Been sleeping on the floor the last 3 months because I couldn't get out of bed in the mornings.

Could you please do everything great about Nezha 2019? It's a really good movie but it's super underrated in America.

I swear if I gotta hear the "If OnLy BrUcE uSeD hIs MoNeY" line in the video for The Batman I'm gonna throw up.

Dude... The fact that you mentioned Supermans Flight... You earned a subscriber.

I already said this at Cinemasins video and I'll say it again. That part when Flash turns back time is easily best scene in the film. That atmosphere and GOD that score is GOOD

Yay! More of this!

“My plans were to immobilize, not kill.” - Batman

For anyone who's curious, the actor who was cast as Green Lantern is Wayne T Carr, and he recently released a photo of him in the full Green Lantern get up! Apparently he was supposed to be in JL 2 and 3. Give this man some love!

Cyborg would call him Superman because he doesn’t know Clark/Kal-El, he only somewhat knows Superman. They don’t have that repport yet so calling him by his “government name” would be too personal.

I hope Andy Muschietti can bring his best with the new FLASH movie
