Justice League: Snyder Cut Review (no spoilers)

 


The Snyder cut for Justice League has finally been released, and long story short, it is MUCH better than the Theatrical cut. Characters like the Flash and Cyborg, who were side characters in the Theatrical cut, become the heart and soul of the Snyder cut. It is actually insane how much of both of their stories were left out of the Theatrical version. It's no wonder why Cyborg's actor Ray Fisher and Joss Whedon clashed so much during the reshoots. Even the villain had a minor glow up, from just deciding to concur the Earth for no good reason in the original, to having an actual motivation in the new version (no details in this review because of spoilers). 

Another big improvement is the CGI. While the visual effects won't be blowing people away, they are an improvement over the Theatrical cut. For instance, Superman no longer has that uncanny upper lip, so that memed about eyesore is gone.  Steffenwolf also looks much better, especially with his cool now spiky armor. Also, the scenes with Barry Allen running just look fantastic. 

And finally, the story itself is just better. Part of it is the 4 hour run-time (double the Theatrical cut) but several of the storytelling decisions in this version are just better. Once again, I can't go into to much detail, but I found the story this time around much more compelling.

Overall,  I would recommend checking out the Snyder cut. If you have an HBO Max account and four hours to spar, sit down and give it a watch. I think HBO Max gives out free trials, so keep an eye out for any such deals. I'll give Justice League: Snyder Cut a 7/10. Not amazing, but definitely an improvement.

Random Thought: an Anti-Karen Restaurant

            Everyone who has worked in food service knows that Karens are the worst. They confront you about the littles things (sometimes for no reason at all), they belittle you at every opportunity, and they are constantly asking to see the manager, hoping to see you punished for just doing your job. The worst part, you have to take it all without the slightest hint of sass, or else your the bad guy in your employer's eyes. But what if you worked at a restaurant that would not only take your side, but actively encouraged sassy behavior? That's were my idea comes in, "The Haven from Karen Dinner and Grill".      Inspired by a Hungarian  restaurant from State College, PA, that would paddle guests that didn't finish their food; this Dinner's staff is encouraged to finish every customer interaction with a bit of sass. They are encouraged to welcome every guess with a sarcastic remark like "welcome to Haven From Karen, would...
