#Jeremy Irons Hasn’t Seen The Snyder Cut, Says ‘It Couldn’t Be Worse’ Than Theatrical Cut

“Zack Snyder’s Justice League” is available to stream on HBO Max, but for Irons, it seems to be the Christmas fruitcake of movies: something that sits there, uneaten, after the holiday passes in lieu of regifting it. The fact that he can’t even remember whether he has the movie or not is telling, in and of itself.

Maybe I’m just not on the movie’s wavelength, but for me, the Snyder Cut played like an assembly cut with a narrative through-line that could only be described as meandering at best. It felt interminable at times and I thought it was a bad sign when the movie ended and there was still another hour to go as if it was about to serve up the world’s longest “epilogue.” Part of that last hour was devoted to a behind-the-scenes feature, which highlighted the human element of Snyder and his cast and crew and then made me feel guilty for not liking the movie more.

Snyder dedicated the film to his late daughter’s memory, and if nothing else, I’m glad for the sake of him and his fans that he finally got to deliver the movie he wanted. Yet with us still talking about it almost a year later, it’s as if that long epilogue never really ended.
