I noticed that as well, and yeah, the phrasing had "download" in it and sounded weird. I can't remember the exact wording, but I remember thinking it was odd and the first time I'd ever heard a movie advertised like that.

Agree about the music choice. The slow mo scene of Flash rescuing the girl had a really corny song to it.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned this, but I noticed that there is now a black & white version of the movie on HBO Max.
I did, the Justice is Grey edition. Giving it a shot this weekend.
yeah, because after I watch a Snyder film, I often think "man...that thing just had too much color"GiveEmHellBill said:

4 hours yes... but it made the storyline and so much more sense. I actually now see the point of Cyborg.
1 year later I just went and did it myself:Definitely Not A Cop said:
All I know is that someone better get the gif of Superman laser sawing Steppenwolf's horn off.
i was reading about how DC is moving around their slate of movies for this year a lot and looked this thread up and was reading through it about an hour ago.
i saw it was bumped and was all "oh crap. i bumped a year old thread."
but it was you. so we're good.

No worries, I think this might be the first year where I've been more excited for DC's upcoming movies than Marvel's
agreed. i guess i'm excited about across the Spiderverse, but that's really it.Definitely Not A Cop said:

Endgame was a good cap to comic book movies for my family. Nobody even wants to watch Eternals or Dr. Strange.

Ok I watched this today. Spoilers: What a beating. First it was sloooow for an hour, then it went a mile a minute with all sorts of crazy concepts flying around for 3 hours.
Things to cut:
80% of slow motion
Unrelated/dumb Wonder Woman bank fight
The entire epilogue
The shapeshifter Martian guy
Every time Wonder Woman cheeses hard on an "inspirational" line
Most instances of "ancient lamentation song"
Most of the Cyborg story line should have been it's own standalone movie released before this
Time travel
With those changes I think you end up with a much tighter and less chaotic movie. Giving Cyborg his own movie lets that character breathe and takes at least twenty minutes out of this movie; Flash's story fits in this movie time wise and the lighter more humorous storyline is badly needed to provide some emotional contrast.
The time travel isn't actually necessary to the plot. It's used twice; the first time just because they mistimed the drop a little bit (maybe? I was a little unclear on exactly how all that was supposed to work) and the second time Cyborg could have called him two seconds sooner. Then you don't have to explain time travel OR why Cyborg left Flash running in circles for 45 minutes for no apparent reason.
The epilogue may be coloring the overall view of the movie; you survive well over three hours and suddenly you get dream sequences, character deaths, new characters, old characters, and generally a blatant advertisement for a sequel that was already well-foreshadowed but also apparently isn't happening.
Legit cool things:
Superman vs everyone
Every fight scene with Steppenwolf
Comparing it to other DC movies, it was not as good as Wonder Woman overall, but also didn't fumble the theme as badly… then again, did it have a theme? It felt like it tried a couple times but always got sidetracked by another 12 minute slo-mo sequence. Didn't reach the depths of rotten plotting that BvS attained; at the very least this was trying to be a real movie.
Overall, a sincere but hard-to-watch movie with awesome fight scenes.
