Justice Leagues Snyder Cut Will Be Better (But Will It Be Good)

The Justice League Snyder Cut is happening, but now audiences accept that it exists they will have to grapple with a far more simple question: is it actually good? After two-and-a-half years of hashtags and debate (aided by HBO Max’s need for big-name original content), Zack Snyder’s version of Justice League will be released in 2021, as either a four-hour movie or six-part miniseries.

The problems with Justice League’s theatrical version are myriad. After Snyder left the project in May 2017, Joss Whedon stepped in and under Warner Bros. guiding hand set about reducing the original director’s trademark style via extensive reshoots and reedits to deliver a leaner, more mainstream take on DC’s answer to The Avengers. The result was a Frankenstein’d movie that was not only tonally at war with itself, but was barely finished: picture composition varied from frame-to-frame, plot points were hastily rushed past (the third act begins when the team leaves a Mother Box in a car park) and Superman’s CGI upper lip is infamous. Beyond such tangible issues, the film fumbled its monolithic characters, making Superman a faceless bastion of smiles and having Batman’s main conflict be an alien gun that runs out of bullets.

With it accepted that Justice League is barely a complete movie, and one without any guiding voice or purpose behind it, then there is no way that the Snyder Cut is not a better film. Even with the considerations that its production will have covered five years by the time it’s released with work done in stops and starts, it ultimately represents a clear directorial vision. Zack Snyder is as close to a blockbuster auteur as the modern studio system allows, bolstered by a consistent, in-tune crew, so his Justice League will undoubtedly be a greater piece in terms of objective filmmaking brio and overall cohesion.

But there are plenty of other Zack Snyder joints that can be used as a benchmark for Justice League’s individual quality and what your personal opinion of it will be. Snyder is one of the most divisive filmmakers working today, with a distinct, abrasive style that causes obsession in as many as it repulses. This trait is why the Snyder Cut had such a fervent fanbase that campaigned so heavily for its release, but also why the shared-universe-lynchpin Justice League was taken out of its director’s hands in the first place. Man of Steel split opinion, and Batman v Superman was the dawn of all-out fandom war. Its unique takes on the titular heroes and preposterous melding of high minded philosophy with inane plot turns divided fans, critics and just about everybody else who came into contact with it (with a definite skew towards the negative).

Zack Snyder’s Justice League is the movie that Warner Bros. was afraid to make after that Batman v Superman backlash. It’s the continuation of Snyder’s DCEU, for better or ill. And while what is known about the story doesn’t have anything quite as jarring as Dawn of Justice’s merciless “Martha” moment and the tone is one more overtly hope-filled, it’s still going to be more in the same vein. Devotees will love it, detractors will hate it, and everybody in the middle will certainly not be quiet. The debate that raged from 2013-2017, so dominating DC movie discussion with only brief respites provided by Suicide Squad and Wonder Woman, will return in full force.
