Let me talk about the conclusion first, it looks better than the movie theater version, but if I give 3 stars for the movie theater version, I can only give 3 and a half stars.
This movie has obvious advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that the narrative is clearer, and the fighting is more intense and beautiful, especially when the female heroes appear on the stage, which is more exciting. The disadvantage is still similar to the theater version.
Superman is resurrected: The cleanliness here is almost the same as the movie theater, except for a period of time when Superman returns to the spacecraft and recalls what his father said. This is actually to improve the post-resurrection character, but it is not very good. After all, he has recovered his memory when he met Louise, so it seems redundant. It would be even better if Louis brought him here and remembered it in a daze.
Flashback to the Doomsday: The opening has been until 20 minutes, and almost 15 minutes are superfluous, especially in this segment. Even if I drove 1.75 times the speed, I still felt very tired from watching this paragraph. The guide version likes to use slow motion to explain things, but it is not used in many places, such as the day of destruction.
Plot of Aquaman: I don’t know how to sing, do you respect Arthur or a god? The episode of Arthur's appearance and the episode of saving people afterwards can be put together completely, but they are separated, and there is also a long plot of completely irrelevant in the plot before and after, there will be a sense of tearing.
Superman resurrected in the spaceship: There is a memory suddenly flashed back in the steel frame . This memory is that Darkside conquered the earth and the hero died in battle. For example, the heroine was burned and seemed to have lost her lower body, and Mela was pierced to death in Atlanta. On the Tees pillar, the Death Justice League building collapsed, and Batman's head was pinched in Superman's hands. Then he said NO, but the Flash heard it as yes, directly resurrecting Superman. For fans, it is known that after Louis died, he looked like an unjust super, but for non-fans, it is completely inexplicable. Because the whole film didn't mention where this segment appeared, even at the end Batman just dreamed of such a situation.
The Flash was hit and the mission failed: Originally the Flash was hit here, then I guess there will be the story expected by the steel above, after all, there are nearly 40 minutes to end. However, the Flash suddenly surpassed himself, restored his body, and reversed time and space, allowing the steel to complete the task. This paragraph also seemed very redundant. Although it is the completion of the Flash character, it is optional. Just like the previous interview of the Flash, it is also optional, because the completed character is not used in the movie at all.
Combat strength collapsed: Steppenwolf is still so abnormal. No one can beat him in 1V1, and even 2V1 can't beat Steppenwolf. Although Superman is the strongest fighting force, it is even more abnormal in the editing version. Playing one-shoulder against the Steppenwolf blow, the outburst directly freezes the sky and the ground cracking the axe and then smashes it easily with one punch. This is far more abnormal than the theater version with Wonder Woman, and then it is more exaggerated than the theater version. Unilaterally beaten by fat. Then Darkside appeared, and the Aquaman backstab + decapitation resolved. To be honest, I prefer the theater version of Darkside that was backlashed by demons in panic.
The whole film is four hours in total. Except for the fight and the key plot, I watched it almost at 1.5 or even 1.75 times. It didn't affect the rhythm at all. It can be seen how much water is injected in it. The guide version is not as good as it boasted.
This 4-hour version, in addition to what I mentioned above, has many unnecessary cleanings, which can be completely deleted. Even if it is for a sequel, it is better to put it down in the sequel than to put it inside. And these unnecessary plots, I roughly calculated that at least occupied nearly an hour or so of time. It is estimated that Dao Zha wanted to learn from Nolan when he filmed the Dark Trilogy, but it is a pity that he is not good at literary drama.
Fortunately, he did not go online in the cinema, and the double-speed playback of the player solved these problems, otherwise the word-of-mouth may be even better than the cinema version.
To be honest, if DC still asks him to shoot, the word-of-mouth that has finally been established may be directly broken.
