Wait, Are Zack Snyder’s Justice League And The Fabled Snyder Cut Really The Same Thing? - CinemaBlend

It’s not that I didn’t want to see the Zack Snyder original cut of Justice League.

While we don’t have any real confirmation of exactly what Zack Snyder’s Justice League is going to look like on HBO Max, the reports have been that what we’re getting could either be a movie that’s four hours long, or it might be broken up into multiple episodes and released as a sort of limited series.

Even if it wasn't, fans still wanted to see the movie that Zack Snyder wanted to make.

The thing is, if we could turn back the clock and Zack Snyder could have been given the chance to finish Justice League his way, wouldn’t the end result have been a pretty standard theatrically-released movie of something in the neighborhood of two-hours long?

Now is it possible that Zack Snyder fully intended to release a three and a half hour Justice League movie into theaters in November 2017?

If what you wanted was a movie that you could directly compare to the existing Justice League, something that would allow you to go through it and see exactly what pieces were added or changed, and what scenes were cut, then this version of "the Snyder Cut" is really the movie you were asking for.

the version that Snyder would make if he could include everything in it that he wanted to without having to worry about any other factors.

If what you wanted wasn’t a true comparison to the Justice League we got, but Zack Snyder’s complete vision of what he wanted Justice League to be, then the 214 minute cut is the movie you’ve been waiting for.

And yet, what we’re getting under the heading Zack Snyder’s Justice League may still be something else; a separate third thing that isn't the movie we would have actually seen in theaters in 2017 or an extended version of that.

But if Zack Snyder's Justice League ends up being six hours long, we can't really compare them.

If we got a two hour-ish version of Zack Snyder's version of Justice League and the movie was truly demonstrably better that the version that was released, then the studio looks foolish for spending the time and money to change it.

Zack Snyder knows better than anybody what aspects of the original movie were his, and if some of the criticism of the original film were in regards to that, isn't it possible that, even if it's entirely subconscious, the director could approach those things differently this time around?

Even if things like the format and length were the same, is the version of Justice League Zack Snyder would have made three years ago truly identical to the version he would make today.
