Martin (John Amplas), a young man who looks around 20-years-old, boards a train in Indianapolis, Indiana for New York. At night, he breaks into a sleeping car and sedates a woman with a syringe full of narcotics. She struggles, but he tells her not to struggle or be upset because she wont feel pain. After a few minutes, the woman falls asleep, and Martin has sex with the unconscious woman. Afterwards, he slices her wrists with a razor blade so he can drink her blood. The woman bleeds to death in her sleep.
In the morning, the train stops in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania where Martin disembarks. He is met by Tata Cuda (Lincoln Maazel) an elderly and hostile old man who claims to be his cousin from the Old World. Together, they travel by another train to the town of Braddock, a dying industrial suburb. They walk to Cuda's large house where he shows Martin his living quarters. Cuda then accuses Martin of being an 84-year-old vampire from his old country. He has taken in Martin because he is family, but tells him, "First I will save your soul. Then I shall destroy you." Martin denies being a vampire and implies that Cuda is merely his uncle rather than his cousin. Cuda then puts up strings of garlic on the doors to his and his granddaughter's room, and then holds up a small cross when Martin approaches him. Martin takes away the cross, and even takes a bite of the garlic mocking these attempts by saying bitterly, "There's no real magic... ever". Cuda tells Martin that he can come and go as he pleases. But he also warns Martin that he will kill him if he kills anyone in Braddock. He also tells Martin to stay away from his granddaughter Christine (Christine Forrest), whom arrives home from her job that evening.
Cuda introduces Christine to Martin, but also warns her to stay away from him. But Christine instead strikes up a friendship with Martin who confides in her about his vampire heritage. When Cuda later confirms Martin's claims to be a vampire, Christine, not surprisingly, refuses to believe either one. She thinks that Cuda and the other members of her family have driven Martin to insanity by making him think that he is a vampire. It is never revealed if Martin really is a vampire, or just a shy and lonely youth with troubled issues. Christine is the only person that Martin gets the courage to talk to. When Christine's boyfriend Arthur (Tom Savini) arrives at the house for dinner, Martin stops talking and backs away despite Arthur's attempt at a conversation. Christine later confides in Martin that she hopes to leave Braddock someday with Arthur, even though Martin points out that Arthur treats her badly and is both verbally and physically abusive towards her.
When Christine sees that Martin won't talk to anyone else, she buys him a phone which he installs in his room. Martin begins to repeatingly call a radio talk show where he describes what it's like to be a vampire. He becomes known on the radio as "the Count" to all the listeners. But the patronizing host (Michael Gornick) thinks he's just crazy.
Martin gets a job at Cuda's grocery store of stocking shelves, hauling boxes around, and even gets to be a delivery boy for some of the customers. One of his customers is a certain Abby Santini (Elyane Nadeau), who becomes taken in with Martin. She is a very friendly young woman who is depressed when she tells Martin that her husband is unfaithful. But Martin still does not have the nerve to talk with her, so she is happy to have someone to confide in with her life problems. Martin phones the radio show host to describe his infatuation with the housewife and senses that she wants to have sex with him. When the radio show host asks Martin if it is a sexual problem that he has involving women criticizing him during sex, Martin replies that he has never had sex with a woman who was awake.
One day, Martin travels by train to outside Braddock to look for victims. At a supermarket, he follows a young woman (Sarah Venable) home to her posh suburban house. He sees the woman's husband (Richard Rubenstein) leave for a long business trip, and Martin decides this would be the right time for more feeding. Martin returns to the house after dark and breaks in through the garage door. But it is Martin who gets the surprise when he bursts into her bedroom to find her in bed with her adulterous lover Lewis (Al Levitsky). After a vicious struggle, Martin jabs both of them with hyprodermic needles with narcotics, and waits for the drugs to take affect. He drags the unconscious body of Lewis from the house to a clump of trees across the street where he kills him by shoving a broken tree branch into his neck and drinks his blood. Martin returns to the house where he has sex with the unconscious woman. But out of compassion and pity, he decides to let her live.
Martin begins to have romantic monochrome visions of his vampire past (real or imagined), where he drained blood from a young woman and was chased through the streets of a nameless European town by a torch-lit mob.
During one Sunday at church, Cuda brings home Father Howard (George A. Romero) who asks him about the possibility of exorcism and demon possession. Father Howard calls upon the elderly Father Zulemans (Clifford Forrest, Jr.) over at Cuda's request. Together, Cuda and Zulemans confront Martin his bedroom and attempt to perform an exorcism on him. At this point, Martin remembers (another real or imaginary flashback), in the Old Country of people trying to perform an exorcism on him, and he flees them. Martin then flees from Cuda and Zuelmas as well. A little later that night, Martin terrorizes Cuda in a children's playground when he puts on a Dracula cape and puts false fangs into his mouth to pretend that he really is a vampire.
One day, Martin finally musters the courage to talk with Mrs. Santini during a routine delivery to her house where he tells her that he's aware of her attempts to seduce him and wants now to have sex with her. After having sex for the first time, Mrs. Santini becomes more depressed for she tells Martin that her husband just left her because she discovered that she cannot bear children, and that her desires towards him are based on sex and nothing else. But Martin wants to stay with her and help her move on with her life. Martin tells the radio show host about his affair with the housewife and that he no longer has the urge to attack other women.
Meanwhile, Arthur meets with Cuda and tells him that he wants Christine to leave town with him so they can get married and start a family. But Christine becomes angry at Cuda when he tells Arthur that insanity runs in their family and he shouldn't consider having children with her. Shortly afterwards, Christine packs up and leaves Braddock for New York with Arthur despite Martin telling her that Arthur is abusive towards her. But her mind is made up. Before leaving, Christine tells Martin that she really has no ill feelings towards him and just wants to make a fresh start with her life. She says goodbye to him and promises to write. But Martin knows that with an abusive and possessive man in Christine's life, she probably won't.
Depressed over losing his one true friend, Martin phones the radio show host and tells him that he's getting "shaky" and wants to go out looking for more victims. That night, Martin travels to a rough crime-ridden area of Pittsburgh and attacks two derelicts in a alley, injecting them with narcotics. He kills one of them by silting the bum's wrist and drinking his blood. Martin is about to kill the second one when a police car shows up and gives chase. Martin narrowly escapes during a long chase on foot which leads from the garbage strew streets and through a local store. Martin runs into an old warehouse where a drug deal is going down. A shootout between the two cops and the three thugs begins where all of them are killed, leaving Martin as the sole survivor who casually walks away from the carnage.
One day, Martin finds Mrs. Santini dead in her bathtub, after she had slit her writs with a razor blade. Martin anonymously calls the police to report the body and leaves. He phones the radio show host one final time to say that he really doesn't need friends or people to talk to for he is his own person. But when Cuda learns about Mrs. Santini's suicide, is mistakenly thinks Martin killed her and made it look like a suicide as he's done before. Cuda walks into Martin's room while he is asleep and kills him by hammering a wooden stake through Martin's heart.
Cuda buries Martin's body in his back garden, while over the closing credits various voices from people are heard talking to the radio show host asking the whereabouts of "the Count".
看了之后嗨到不行！
滤镜刻意，剧情又臭又长，配乐吵，四个小时就别说节奏了。以前的电影人能用朴实的镜头表达情感，现在就只会动不动升格特写绿幕，打个小贼都得配上宗教史诗感的bgm。我在想作为粉丝向mv电影这和小时代有什么区别？多了宗教隐喻。
有对比，才更出众！扎导剪辑的和原来看的，完全是一个天上一个地下！同样大部分的画面，换一个剧情走势，差别如此之大！这就是导演与导演之间的差距！如果之前就放的这部，又哪还会有这么多人失望！
扎导，我的英雄。戏里戏外都很好看，如果当初没有 #ReleaseTheSnyderCut# 的争取，现在这部电影我们也无缘看见。说回电影本身吧，每一帧都很好看，战斗场面很抓眼球，没有前一版尾灯的尴尬笑点……这一部才真的、真的是JL啊，片尾那个梦境吊足胃口，看着就像《不义联盟》影像化，什么时候才能看到续作！
参加成都观影团，竟然能在影院二刷扎剪版《正义联盟》，太爽了。——2021.4.4
就这？说好90%不同呢？这不就是个开卷重考
For Autumn.
很抱歉我忍不住看了leak版，扎导的作品仍然把我感动的像个傻子，我爱D C
大概就是，等我死后在我坟前播放神奇女侠专属BGM is she with you这首歌的时候我就会诈尸刨土从坟墓里爬出来咆哮一声，戴安娜，我命运般的戴安娜，永远的神‼️ ‼️
并没有比院线版强。。。。但话又说回来，没有任何一个作品能承受住全球粉丝数年如一日的期待，然后满足所有人。2077如此，扎克版jl也如此。这个版本能出来的意义远大于电影本身。
8分，完成度较高的商业片，质量远逊于《守望者》但远强于《蝙蝠侠大战超人》，这种感觉就像是陈凯歌的《霸王别姬》和《无极》之间夹着个《荆轲刺秦王》，虽然不错，但想比肩真正的神作就算了吧，豆瓣的这次降分是对的，某些粉丝真的太极端了，真没想到国外评分网站反而比国内理智。
这他妈才是真正的正义联盟，太好看了，我拒绝把几年前看的那玩意儿和这个相提并论
四小时看下来就发现之前的院线版看了等于没看，这几乎算是一部新片了
4.片子可以说验证了我的猜想，如果继续让施奈德拍DC，他能第二部给你整达克赛德战争，第三部直接无限危机走起。
四个小时啃了生肉，DC粉过足了瘾，至少故事说清晰了，每个人物形象和经历也足够饱满，老爷终于在大战中体现出了一定的实力，虽然我还是觉得体现得不太够。火星猎人、丑爷、不义联盟、闪点、黑超、达克赛德……每一个伏笔都是惊喜，当年要是分成上下部上映就好了，尾灯版相比真的就是一坨屎。爱老爷，爱DC！
这…和院线版也就两星和三星的区别吧。不过4小时要上院线确实也难为人，归根结底还是17年那个时机选择推出正义联盟就挺失败的，太操之过急。扎导版能看出他想做好宇宙的心思，承上启下，铺垫和伏笔很多，可惜太迟了，现在这DC宇宙恐怕是续不上了。
20200823第一预告放出后：一个猜想:正片还是不如预告好看，粉丝依然有一千八百种解释。2021年看完正片后，感慨正义联盟坎坷多年，终于追上了预告片（5个）里的那个自己。导演剪辑版拥有肉眼可见的流畅与完整，长但不冗长，剧情很紧凑，人物的性格与动机也都合理而不像院线版那么突兀和支离破碎，最后的战斗真的又场面又过瘾。蝙蝠侠不愧那句“because i am Batman”，分分钟联想到HISHE蚁人2里强行复活自己和整部电影。我已经迫不及待要看HISHE怎么吐槽这部四小时的素材库了！
只想说下后记“a father twice over”.当初扎导因为女儿去世而没能完成的作品终于在昨天放出 作为一个父亲 可能扎导觉得自己亏欠女儿 于是在这部作品当中代入了不少自身的情感，所以我认为 是扎导对女儿的爱 成就了或完整了这部《扎克施奈德的正义联盟》，就像小闪说的“with power of love”
战争 种族 父辈的母题。
史诗级的超英电影，这tm才是DC该有的样子啊。对比之下，隔壁复联简直就是爆米花大电影。除了前面有几处情节略显啰嗦，以及女侠的bgm太频繁且经常突兀，其他都是超级英雄电影的顶配了，吊打隔壁美队3和复联3之外的所有！
