After years of fans asking for Warner Bros. to "release the Snyder cut," the film finally hits HBO Max today. ... In order to finish his version of the film, Snyder did three days of reshoots and added additional VFX work.
How much of the Snyder cut was reshot?
Snyder's Justice League and Whedon's are so distinct—according to one report, Whedon reshot as much as three-quarters of the film—that running down all their differences would be long and unenlightening. (The short answer to what's different in Snyder's version is: everything.)
Is the Snyder cut completely different?
This isn't simply a director's cut. It's an altogether different movie. Free of cringe-inducing gags about podcasts and alien probes, the movie feels liberated from a certain brand of popular mainstream filmmaking and more like the work of one artist: Snyder, who clearly takes this superhero stuff very seriously.
