《查克史奈德之正義聯盟》(Zack Snyder's Justice League)距離正式上線倒數兩天之際,爛番茄新鮮度出爐,75 % 遠比 2017 年院線版本的 40 % 好上不少,讓眾多粉絲更為期待正片釋出的那一刻。
《查克史奈德之正義聯盟》爛番茄新鮮度/Rotten Tomatoes
事實上,查克史奈德(Zack Snyder)過往執導電影在爛番茄新鮮度的評價都不算高。撇開當年的《正義聯盟》之外,近年的 DC 之作《超人:鋼鐵英雄》(Man of Steel)、《蝙蝠俠對超人:正義曙光》(Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice)皆慘不忍睹。
而早期的《300壯士:斯巴達的逆襲》(300)、《守護者》(Watchmen)的新鮮度尚可。導演生涯中最高的則是首部執導電影《活人生吃》(Dawn of the Dead),獲得 75 % 新鮮度,與《查克史奈德之正義聯盟》目前相同。
而不少影評日前也陸續解禁發布評論:
《ComicBook》布蘭登戴維斯(Brandon Davis)表示, 《查克史奈德之正義聯盟》是部與院線版本截然不同的電影,「我估計院線版只有 25 % (而且還是好的部分)是由查克拍攝的片段。至於史奈德剪輯版,大概只有 12 % 的片段是你可能已經看過的。」
If you don't believe that #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague is a totally different movie by comparison to the theatrical version, you are wrong.

I would estimate maybe 25% of theatrical (the best parts) were shot by Zack. Maybe 12% of the Snyder Cut is stuff you might have seen before. pic.twitter.com/7ESlNHPIsL
《Fandango》的艾瑞克戴維斯(Erik Davis)則稱讚這個版本遠比院線版好太多了,「豐富的角色發展、更棒的動作場面、連貫的故事,還有幾個棒極了的場面。雖然觀影過程真的很漫長,但我絲毫不覺得疲倦。」
I can now say that I have watched #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague and it is far superior to the original theatrical version. Rich character development, much better action, a coherent story & some terrific badass moments. Definitely a long watch, but I never felt tired of it. Well done pic.twitter.com/QXyQLdUApv

《Comicbookdebate》網站編輯謝拉茲法魯奇(Sheraz Farooqi)大讚《查克史奈德之正義聯盟》,更以奇幻史詩鉅片《魔戒》來相比,且讚賞卡司群的演出,特別是「鋼骨」雷費雪(Ray Fisher)。
#ZackSnydersJusticeLeague is DC’s Lord of the Rings. Simple as that.

Epic and grand, JL is led by great performances, especially from Ray Fisher.
With an amazing score by Junkie XL and Snyder’s eye for directing, @SnyderCut is every DC fan’s dream movie come to life. #SnyderCut pic.twitter.com/DLerGt5WNS
《綜藝報》歐文葛雷博曼(Owen Gleiberman)則提到比起說這部電影是查克史奈德剪輯版,應該說是部全新電影,並稱讚雖然本質上還是傳統超級英雄故事,但有著令人陶醉其中的童心和如童話故事般的不祥徵兆,帶觀眾回到了從漫畫中得到的感動。
