As we (my husband and I) were about to start watching the Snyder Cut, Shaggy suggested that I write my reactions and thoughts while watching since I had already made blog posts about it. I was hesitant to do that as the movie is four hours long. Reminding him of the run-time made him realize what a massive undertaking that would be, so he told me to forget about it. He shouldn’t have said that because I couldn’t help but think “Challenge Accepted”. 

I am never going to do this for a movie longer than two hours again. It did make the ending of the movie that much better. I was so happy it was over!

So here it is. All of the best reactions to the Justice League Snyder Cut. I’ve done a little editing to some of my thoughts on the list to make it more readable. Anything written with italics was added during the editing process to show what part of the movie corresponds with the reactions. 

If my readers have enough interest in this post, maybe I can be convinced to release the entire list. Snyder Cut Reactions: Extended Edition… Comment below! 

*This entire post is nothing but spoilers! You have been warned.* 

• As my husband pressed play he said “Let’s get this over with.” So we are starting on a high note.
• Intro
  • Dang, Superman can really yell.
  • I forgot Luthor had hair in this film. I didn’t recognize him. Shaggy had to tell me who it was.
  • Still, it’s funny, this movie starts like an anime, with incomprehensible dramatic fight scenes and lots of yelling from a shonen protagonist. 
  • Mountain scenes and dramatic orchestral music? This is a rip-off of LOTR. 
• Batman meeting Aquaman
  • Why are the townspeople just standing around staring at Batman?
  • These villagers have a lot of free time if they sing to Aquaman every time he swims out of town. 
  • Do they worship him or something? Did he start a cult by accident? 
  • Lady stiffs shirt while singing. I think it’s a full-on religion now. No wonder he doesn’t want to leave. 
• Padding
  • Clark Kent’s middle name is Joseph! I didn’t know he had one!
  • “Maybe a man who broods in a cave isn’t fit to be a recruiter.” I love Alfred. I forgot how much I loved him
  • Lois Lane is sad. Artistically sad. 
  • This is Les Mis, geez. Sad musical while staring sadly in the rain. 
• Wonder Woman’s Intro
  • Hey, I was right the kids are from a Catholic school! I knew uniforms like that belonged there
  • Could you stall the magic Lasso by telling any truth or are you forced to answer the questions?
  • Wonder Woman is still a boss. I think she’s faster in the Snyder cut. Epic fight scene.
  • “If she’s this fast why do we need the Flash” – Shaggy
  • I feel like she used unnecessary force to stop one guy. Like did she need to make a massive hole in the wall?
  • *Insert blah child admires superhero cliche here
• Amazons getting robbed 
  • Oh no, not the bugs…
  • Have you heard about our Lord and Savior the Great Darkness? 
  • Why is it boring??! Amazon warrior ladies are fighting aliens how is that boring?
  • The big bad’s “NOOO!” had real Anakin Skywalker vibes, overdramatic
  • “A lot of this feels pretentious” – Shaggy 
  • They don’t mess around when they seal off buildings. Shut it down then chuck it in the ocean.
  • The ocean failed. Alien bugs: 1 Ocean: 0 
  • Villain – Looks at the approaching cavalry. “Eh… not today.” Leaves
  • Light the beacons! Another LOTR rip off
• Villain scene
  • “It’s toxic. That’s good” *slow clap* Good villain dialog writing team
• Our first look at the suspicious lab
  • Never be a night janitor at a lab.
• Back to the Amazons
  • There’s a lot of pomp and circumstance to light the warning fires. Like, apocalyptic level threat but we take time for the ceremony. 
• Cyborg Intro
  • “I don’t know. That’s why I was studying it” – gold 
• Aquaman and the Atlanteans 
  • Aquaman commands the ocean and orchestra
  • It’s a musical! Yay! The title is I’m wet and brooding
  • “How many shirts does he have? Where does he keep them?” – Shaggy. Good question, who knows? 
• Diana and Bruce with exposition 
  • Darkseid’s power is a boom spear and an army. 
  • With technology magic so advanced and powerful, you would think they would get a better name than Mother Boxes.
  • Why didn’t the Green Lantern guy take the boxes? I saw him in the battle. Wouldn’t he be able to better understand and neutralize technology like that? I guess if he did there would be no movie
  • Atlantians and Amazons create well-guarded prison cells for the bad boxes. Humans: put it in a normal hole in the ground. “They will never find it.” 
• *Movie paused*
  • “It’s just been an hour!?” – Shaggy, Had to pause for break #1
  • We are only an hour in and it feels like we should be halfway done
• Flash’s Intro
  • Aw dog! 🙂
  • Poor dude needs new shoes and a job now 
  • Does every character get a musical??
  • He has time to grab a hot dog before saving her. Priorities am I right?
• Cyborg’s Backstory
  • “When does slow-mo become too much slow-mo?” – Shaggy. Same honestly
  • Mom and son in the car, Dad busy at the lab missing the game… is this where the mom dies in a tragic car accident?
  • Immediately after typing that “Oh it is!”
  • If you are just trying to save your son’s life why add the extra capabilities? I think he secretly wanted to upgrade a person into a cyborg. 
• Flash backstory and meeting Batman
  • Barry’s dad is in jail, so that’s two people with Daddy issues. Batman doesn’t count as he has parental issues. 
  • At least he’s not sitting in your favorite chair, right?
  • “I need friends” “Can I keep this?” “I am a snack hole” I love Barry.
  • Barry – “What are your superpowers again?” Bruce – “I’m rich.” Still the best and accurate.
  • “This is the first entire scene I wasn’t bored in. It didn’t drag on, it was perfect. If this was a TV show I would have stopped watching two episodes ago.” – Shaggy
• Diana with Bruce and Cyborg
  • Sassy Diana – “Work on a lasso too, in black.” – she knows what’s up
  • Dang her pants are super tight. Are they comfortable?
  • If burying the box didn’t work the first time, why do you think it will work now Cyborg? You may be sad and angry but you’re smarter than this. 
• Atlanteans get robbed
  • Good thing Aquaman showed up at the perfect time
  • Mommy issues… Glad we addressed Aquaman’s tragic backstory. Diana is lucky to be an Amazon.
• First Team and Villain fight
  • It’s the Eye of Sauron with a cage. 
  • We saw Part 4 flash on the screen, but somehow we both missed part 3. I thought we were still in part 2.
  • Batman is standing on top of a hooded skeleton. Symbolism 
  • Commissioner Gordon is pretty chill, His expression of just a tired “Well okay then” is really funny 
  • What is darkness supposed to smell like Diana?
  • “I’m real when it’s useful” Sigh, good work Batman
  • Ancient lamentation music playing – closed caption is good
  • 2 hours in and we finally have a cool fight with all our peeps
  • Alfred being happy that his invention works is very pure
  • Barry Allen zipping along the walls and booping Diana’s sword is cool. Too bad he tripped at the end
  • “Do I know you?” Alfred being unintentionally funny
  • Finally, this movie had some stakes and epic feel to it, with everyone fighting together
  • I’m glad Aquaman showed up to stop the flood, but I can’t help but feel he was still late to the party 
• After the fight
  • The Anti-Life Equation… That’s how I felt about math classes 
  • Steppenwolf is ugly without the armor! Ew. 
  • Darkseid needs to learn how to move on from past failures. It’s not healthy
  • Barry – “You talk to machines?”  Cyborg – “I speak to intelligence.”  Wow, what dialog
  • The Nazis found the box. Because of course, they did. 
  • Was Cyborg’s origin story always tied to the box? It made it interesting at least. 
  • Science magic! 
  • Let’s use alien technology we don’t understand to raise the dead! 
• Back with Lois Lane again
  • You know, since he died you could have told the world who he was. What would it matter now?
  • Can we get back to the plot, please? We know you’re sad but you’ll get him back soon enough. 
  • Martian Manhunter? What? What are you doing here? 
• Reviving Superman with alien necromancy 
  • “She’s 5000 years old. Every guy is a younger guy.” – Alright, that was funny. 
  • Cyborg – “I’m always dressed.” he says while stripping 
  • Why are you guys breaking into the lab when you could just call up Cyborg’s dad and get him to help?
  • Aw, good to see his dad supporting his illegal activities. “Eh he’s hanging out with Batman and Wonder Woman, it’s probably fine.” I bet he thought something like that 
  • You should probably listen to the computer AI
  • The box moves as fast as Flash for reasons
  • Barry has some powerful boops
• It’s Alive! Superman edition
  • Hey look at that, Superman’s back
  • His dad’s face when he saw the box, just what the bleep is that boy doing?
  • Here we go! Superman fight time!
  • I don’t think you’re going to win a tug of war against Superman
  • “Maybe if you shout Martha at him” – Shaggy
  • Hey, now it’s time for Lois to be useful 🙂
  • The Aquaman and Flash interaction right after he left was good. Nice display of petty
• Cyborg’s father dies 
  • It was a good idea to try to destroy the box but I think it was a desperate attempt he knew wouldn’t be likely to work
  • Cyborg now has Batman syndrome 
  • Oh… so that was his plan. Makes more sense than I thought. 
• Part 6. almost 3 hours in. I think this is the third or so break. Almost done
• Superman on the farm
  • From bad guy to idyllic farm scene 
  • I don’t think Martha would have left clothes there. She would have either packed them or donated them.
  • Henry Cavil’s lip still looks weird sometimes
  • Superman is in a better mental place. Do I care? NOT RIGHT NOW!!
  • Okay, you kissed the girlfriend and hugged the mom, let’s go save the world now ‘kay?
  • Superman – “I have to go, I was pretty angry and I don’t know if I hurt people” Gee I wonder, it’s not like you were fighting or something
• Final Battle 
  • Yay Alfred, you got the ship working! Good job!
  • Glad Flash still has a sense of humor. “With the power of love.” That man watches anime.
  • Clark and the ship, completely unnecessary padding. We don’t need to see a fashion show of his suit choices 
  • Aw, but they just finished that ship 😦
  • Off to storm the castle
  • RIP Batmobile – died like it lived, for justice
  • Bruce was pretty good with an alien gun. Are guns universal? 
  • You know it’s serious when their eyes glow
  • Don’t make Diana angry. She can and will kick your ass
  • Superman deus ex machina arrives! Though not as stupid as the original 
  • Steppenwolf has a lot of fingers! Weird
  • Don’t wear spikes if you don’t wanna stick to walls
  • Time for Flash! Come on reverse time! WOOOOOO I’m excited!
  • “Make your own future, make your own past, It’s all right now,” Nice call back to what his dad said
  • Barry boops again!
  • They did it! Yay. 
  • Aquaman is brutal he just stabbed him
  • Not as much as Diana! Geez Decapitation, no wonder it’s rated R
• Aftermath of the Final Battle
  • Oh, look at the setup for a sequel that won’t happen. The old-fashioned massive alien army invasion
  • Photo finish for photographers that aren’t there
  • How does that ship still fly?
  • Is Barry still injured or did the time travel fix him?
• Epilogue?
  • Barry – “Don’t get maced again.” Ha, his dad was so proud of him. This was a good scene. Both funny and heartwarming
  • “I bought the bank.” what a flex.
  • Now, do we get the Joker?
  • Nope, just Lex Luthor. At least he’s bald now.
  • Slade and Luthor on his ship. Nice, too bad it’s not going anywhere. 
• Dream Sequence
  • Why is it still going??!
  • Why is anything? Why is this happening? This is like an end credits scene but it’s still a movie.
  • Finally, the Joker shows up. And it had to be in this weird surreal ending
  • Somehow letting Lois Lane die creates an apocalypse. 
  • Why is Superman helping the bad buys now? Just because she died does not mean he would side with the villains. What happened?
  • It WAs OnLY a DReAM! I hate this movie
  • Martian Manhunter! Why wait until the end to have him talk to the main characters? Why didn’t he help?! 
  • Batman has seen some crap. Meeting him was just another day
• I’m so glad it over!
