I watched the Zach version of Justice League on the network disk. I thought I would see the multiplayer version of BVS, but the facts were far beyond expectations. There is basically no unclear plot in the whole film. I think it ignores the limitations of special effects and sound effects. From the perspective of the rationality of the plot, it is better than BVS and even the Watchman. Although the overall plot is moderate and lacks great ups and downs, considering that this is the first film of the Justice League, this kind of solidity and low-key sense is an advantage. It avoids the expansion of combat power under the exaggerated wind and maintains the DC movie universe. Serious tone.
And the shaping of the characters on the stage has also been focused rather than uniformly. The only real realization of the complete character arc is the steel frame. The main line of the scene and the mother box are bound. The others are essentially supporting roles: Batman and Wonder Woman are responsible. As a tool man of series characters, Neptune’s mission in this film is mainly to make his appearance on the stage; Superman’s resurrection is a big event, but his personal growth has not yet begun; compared with other supporting characters, the creation of The Flash is the most far-fetched, running at the end of the film A reversal operation to pay tribute to the "flashpoint", but the character's motivation and foreshadowing have not kept up with its final highlight performance. This is also a common practice in Justice League animation movies. One or two people are arranged in the group portrait to grow and change, and the others serve as supporting actors for the plot.
But the problem still exists. This reduced version has 4 hours, but a considerable amount of time is absolutely not necessary. Because the language of the camera is not frugal, there are a lot of confusing slow motions, especially the flash’s facial close-ups are time-consuming and very ghostly, which makes people feel very tortured (I don’t know why I use endless slow motion to express the superb speed. ); On the other hand, there are a large number of easter eggs and mystery foreshadowing that can't play a role in the film, resulting in the lack of integration of the whole film, which makes it feel like a TV series.
I guess that this version was rejected by Warner. In addition to the length of time, another reason may be equally fatal-that is, the lack of arousal to the general audience, or the lack of explosive points. The entire four hours was completely foreplay, just defeating the little Boss and letting the big Boss show his face, which may be really unattractive to people who don't know DC. In contrast, the first part of The Lord of the Rings is also a foreshadowing, but at least there is a battle of Kaiser Dumu, and the Justice League version is less refreshing except for Superman's appearance and beating people, and many plots are even confusing. If it were cut into theaters for a longer period of time, the effect would be immeasurable. This may also be one of the reasons why Zhaban Zhenglian was rejected. People like me who have feelings for DC are very willing to accept it, but it is undoubtedly too cruel for Warner to make money from such a person.
Finally, there is another interesting phenomenon in this version of Zhenglian, which is the exchange of images of Batman and steel.
In the previous Zhenglian works, Batman's image is almost demon, reluctant to speak, and beware of teammates. He is the ultimate solver of the problem, responsible for solving the problem and giving the enemy the final blow, while the steel frame is the edge of the computer. people. But in this work, on the contrary, Batman’s function has become logistics, with limited IQ, anxious combat power, and his personality has changed from noble and glamorous to honest and honest, but the steel skeleton has become the steel proud, and his ability has completely exploded in the movie universe. Batman, the scene is more than enough to the protagonist level. People sigh a person's destiny, of course, we must rely on self-struggle, but we must also consider the course of history. No matter how hard the steel frame in the animation universe works, it will only change from repairing the computer in the young Titans to repairing the computer in the Justice League. How can it not be repaired to the treatment in the movie!
