Watching the Snyder cut. Shit there’s actually a story here. Not a good story, but a story. Looks like Joss Whedon’s cut was basically “keep the fight highlights, minimal wisecracks glue to put it together.” Kinda interesting.

Ah the boxes are terraforming boxes And there is a monkey green lantern and a sort of lord of the rings style initial battle. This whole thing is basically LOTR type trilogy slammed into a single movie.

Cyborg origin story is quite elaborately done. They cut like 25 minutes to nothing so it was very confusing given I’d never heard of the character.

J. K. Simmons supplies the 30 seconds of actual acting in the 2 hours of the movie so far. Though Affleck and Miller have a few good seconds too.

This whole epic final battle finally makes some vague sort of sense. I can’t even remember what confused mess I sat through before.

Woohoo done. In one sitting. This is what Hindi movies train you for, though this is longer than even most Hindi movies. I demand a prize.

Verdict: worth it just to reflect on how ghastly the Wheaton cut was. Shoulda just released this as 2 movies like Avengers.

Gotta admit, I like scale for the sake of scale. We live in an era of truly enormous stories. It’s like those restaurants that try to break the Guinness record for the largest pizza. It may not be the best pizza but dammit, it’s the biggest.
