These two days are definitely a carnival for many movie fans.
That's because Zach Schneider's version of Justice League is finally here!
This film is also a work that many friends have been looking forward to for a long time.
After the film was broadcast, the scores of several major rating platforms also went all the way up, and the praise was dazzling.
Among them, the Douban opening score is 8.7 points, and with the increase in the number of people who have seen it, the score has not only not fallen, but has become higher and higher, and now, it has risen to 9.0 points, which is very powerful.
In IMDb, there is also a high score of 8.6.
As a result, this film has also become the highest-rated work after Zach Schneider took over the DC Universe, allowing countless DC fans to exhale and raise their eyebrows.
Including the evaluation of many netizens, it is also a bit of a bad breath that has been pressed in the heart for many years, and finally vented out of the feeling.
Because of this, it may start from the original 2017 version of "Justice League".
The quality of the Za guide version of the Justice League is still debated. But the 2017 version of "Justice League" is basically a Waterloo, an important turning point, even if Douban still relies on the dead support of fans, the rating has maintained 6 points.
However, everyone knows in their hearts that "Justice League" is really deformed.
Including Rotten Tomatoes, it also has a freshness rating of 40%, with a score of 5.3.
At the same time, many friends also understand that the failure of that time was actually an accident.
The unexpected death of her beloved daughter is undoubtedly a great blow to director Zach Schneider. Because of this, he quit the "Justice League" crew halfway.
And the collapse of the whole project also began at that time.
At that time, the project was taken over by another superhero boss: Joss Whedon.
Joss Whedon is not inexperienced with superhero movies, and he has directed the first two "reunions", and he is absolutely handy in making this kind of superhero movie. However, it is also because he is too experienced and styled, so he will not continue to lay the groundwork for za, but in the way he is good at, he has made a huge change to this "Justice League".
Specifically, everyone saw it.
It's not that Joss Whedon is bad, but when a director with his own style and habits takes over a strongly stylized work in the middle, it is inevitable that there will be stylistic chaos.
This is the biggest problem with the 2017 version of "Justice League".
In fact, I said at the time that the problem with this movie was that the style was chaotic.
On the one hand, you can still feel the cold and oppressive wind of the Za Dao period. At the same time, it adds Whedon's commercial entertainment elements, with all kinds of jokes and gags, which is easy to entertain.
Therefore, that "Justice League" became a deformed product.
On the one hand, you also don't find it entertaining and relaxing. At the same time, the persistence of the coldness and depression in Superman: Man of Steel and Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice makes it hard to believe that these people will suddenly become so frivolous.
In short, it's weird.
Again, I want to emphasize it.
There is no better comparison of which style here, more is the choice of everyone's style, and the positioning at the beginning.
Because, I am not a Marvel fan, nor am I a fan of The Director. On both sides, there may not be the fanatical love of many people, pure passers-by.
In fact, when watching the 17th edition of the zhenglian and the zabanzhenglian, it made me repeatedly compare the style choices of Marvel and DC works.
A very inappropriate distinction can be made between "the humanity of God" and "the divinity of man."
Marvel's film and television works are more likely to be popular. So, they show that those superheroes belong to the ordinary people. As a result, we often see a group of superheroes who are no different from ordinary people in Marvel works, and the film often has fragments of their daily lives. They will also be afraid, they will be proud, they will make small jokes, and they will have a lot of bad problems.
It's only when the world really needs them that they really show their superhero side.
What they want to say is that superheroes are also people, and many viewers will try to substitute these superheroes into their own place.
And za directed several DC superhero movies, this is not the case at all. Like za's previous films, he is passionate about creating gods in his work, emphasizing epicness, and shaping heroes.
Therefore, the superheroes in his works are god-level heroes. He will try to shape the superheroes beyond the ordinary, like gods.
At the same time, he will also show less of the heroes who belong to ordinary people. The audience also can't substitute for these superheroes, and most of them can only look up.
Feel this shape, camera position and lighting, this is God!
Again, these two choices, not good or bad, just different choices and orientations.
Therefore, because of the difference in style and positioning, the 17th edition of the zhenglian has undergone a huge style distortion.
At the same time, under the guidance of this idea, the biggest correction of the za-guided version of "Justice League" to the 2017 version of "Justice League" is to abandon all small paragraphs and return to the cold and forced wind.
To give a few small examples: For example, in the 2017 version of the Main League, when The Flash first participated in the Batman team combat, there was a large monologue, probably, I am afraid of this, I am afraid of that...
It boils down to the fact that he doesn't dare to fight, and Batman gives him a cheer
Justice League 2017
In short, let him become a comedian of the team and take on the part that belongs to ordinary people.
And to the "Justice League" directed this time, this part was completely deleted, and the Flash who fought for the first time, although there was also a little nervousness, but he was not afraid, and there was not so much nonsense.
He's strong from the start, he's no longer a comedian, he's the Flash who can change the world.
Za directed the version of "Justice League"
Yes, he's still that god-like superhero.
Similarly, it is still 2017's "Justice League", before the final battle, Aquaman was sitting on the mantra lasso by mistake, and it was also a bunch of bar bar la, probably I was very unsure of this big war, and I felt that we were not very good. At the same time, he also said some small jokes and the like.
Belongs to Whedon's specialty, the usual lively atmosphere scene before the big war.
And when it comes to za's version of "Justice League", this paragraph is directly deleted.
Or do you remember the 2017 version of Justice League, where there was a poor family in the Land of Showdown?
They actually have a lot of scenes.
Regarding their roles, in the Za version of "Justice League", all of them were deleted.
There are many similar examples, and I will only give these few that I am more impressed with, and they are also the ones that I think are more representative.
You know, Za's "Justice League" is two hours more than the 2017 version of "Justice League", and even some netizens complained that the reason why the length can be doubled is because all the deleted clips are added, and at the same time, try to use slow motion.
But if you really just want to drag it out for a long time, why delete the above mentioned content?
The reason is very simple, the style does not match.
The above few places are actually the products of the mix-and-match style that we said at the beginning.
Want to be epic, want the divinity of the character, want to concave shape, want to be cold, the character naturally can not have these very grounded content. These superheroes are meant to be up, to be cold, to be deep.
So, the biggest change between "Zach Schneider's version of Justice League" and the 2017 version is, first of all, that all the Whedon-style things in the previous version are removed, and there are no gags and jokes.
As a result, the style of the work is once again highly unified back to the cold and cold style of Za Dao.
After this treatment, at least the fans of the director are satisfied.
After all, stylistically, that's what they want to see.
There are many similar changes, for example, the lines spoken by the characters will be more serious, or more unsmiling, removing a large number of jokes from the 2017 version (including the Flash visiting his father in prison and drawing a grimace to the people behind him).
Including the soundtrack of the Za version, it is also redone a lot, there will be more like opera or aria, so that the appearance of those heroes, are very tall.
Of course, the 4-hour version of Zach Schneider's Justice League can't just be a cut. The added part is even more.
First, the film gives several new characters enough time to show their personalities and characteristics.
Remember when I first spit on the 2017 version, I mentioned it. Because of the limited duration of that version, there was too little time for Steel Bone and Aquaman, and the two were completely like a friendly cameo to make up the number.
In this version, the role of both of them has been greatly increased.
Especially steel bones.
When I first watched the 2017 version, this was completely an inexplicable rebellious teenager, there were not many plays, and the temper was still quite big.
In this version, a large number of descriptions of his relationship with his father have been added, so after reading this version, you can truly understand the ability of steel bones, his ins and outs, and the emotional entanglement between him and his father, and the origin of his personality.
Also enriched are the Flash and Aquaman, and this version gives them enough time to flesh out their personalities and make them no longer just a funny comedian like the 17th edition.
The biggest surprise that zaban gave me should be the last part, because there is more new content in that part. First of all, the big war was different.
In this film, Xiao Shan used the skills that the masses liked to see beyond the speed of light, and had an important impetus to the development of the plot.
People like me, who were made to cry by "Flashpoint Paradox", are still very excited to see such a scene.
This paragraph finally makes the final tasteless chaotic battle of the 17th edition more suspenseful and interesting.
At the same time, this one is also a wild Easter egg. After all, it is an extended version, and if you have time, you will come. For example, Martian Manhunter,
For example, the 4th generation of atomic man Zheng Kai, he still has a lot of scenes this time, and he also has a quick glance with Steppenwolf.
Of course, there are also scenes between the Joker and Batman.
Although, according to the introduction, because of the problem of Ben Affleck and Jared Leto's respective schedules, in fact, the two scenes were filmed separately.
The four-hour "Zach Schneider's version of justice league" allows the director to do what he wants more willfully, completely disregarding business logic and narrative rhythm, and just doing whatever he wants.
Although, I always feel that some places are really too long and debatable.
However, this has made fans who like him addicted.
In fact, if the 2017 version of ZaDao did not quit, the final version may not be so well received, especially if it is not possible to do such an exaggeration of four hours.
Such a wayward and arbitrary version, I really have to thank those fans for their continuous appeal and struggle on the Internet.
And now, after several twists and turns, finally let this guide cut version of "Justice League" meet with everyone in his true appearance.
Even if I don't love this movie as much as everyone else (I can only give it a 7), I still think it is a movie event that is worth watching and talking about.
So, have you seen Zack Schneider's version of justice league? What do you think?
Or, this weekend, you can also go and feel it!
