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".
对我个人来说，最喜欢的everybody knows一段，居然是尾灯拍的。扎导自己的片段都是慢速播放，跟剧情极端割裂。
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！
等这么多年五星是必须的，虽然也没有想象的那么好但至少比尾灯强17367186倍吧（黑超my love🤤不义联盟可以快点安排吗扎导🥺
英雄们皆以造作的肢体反复在升格中拗出一副副煞有其事的姿势，并配以不知道为什么要庄严肃穆的无源音乐，从而呈现出一个个漂亮的景观造型。导演拿着演员们身体的图像在绿幕前凌空作画，因为他们是英雄，是“钢铁之躯”，被剥夺了身体性，仅剩被观看的价值。当所谓的“复古”、“暗黑”已然成为一种可供兜售的景观标签时，电影放弃了最后的挣扎。没有运动，只有摆弄，没有动作戏，只是皮影戏。这种真空反倒显示出一个巨大的隐喻。就像所有的超英叙事所需求的，我们的假象敌必然成真（华纳），逝去的英雄必然归来（ZS），并以一种原始的、仪式性的方式将它打倒，并翘首等待“英雄叙事”的瘙痒再度苏醒——我们看向最后那束耀眼的光芒，是否会注意到那里根本什么都没有？是For Autumn还是为了自己？这是扎克施耐德的《你好李焕英》
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
看超英大片都一个感觉，一到最后决战就泄气，前面关于英雄困境和抉择的铺垫，有时候是挺耐人寻味的，但进入到动作戏，所有铺垫感觉都儿戏化了。这也是这类大片儿的普遍问题，高潮戏必须依赖动作戏，但以动作戏来收尾又看起来有点幼稚。
这部作品的诞生，就意味着无论喜不喜欢，它的历史意义都将非常重大。
虽然超英和反派都越来越同质化——不是部落之王就是异星骇客🤔，各种特长也几乎被耗尽了，但还是热血沸腾了一下，还对Victor好感度大翻一番。荒原狼比小号灭霸有血有肉。唯一想吐槽的就是小丑，太弱了弱爆了什么有气无力的弱鸡发言啊！！！
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
总结：如果是院线加长版我为什么不看院线版要来看这坨大粪？如果用达克赛德和绿灯遛粉遛满整个宣传期最后发现既没绿灯达克赛德又是个只会FaceTime的铁憨憨观众会觉得自己是智障还是扎克施耐德脑瘫？再来，你觉得一个神经质闪电侠搭配没感情三巨头再加上巨婴海王自闭孤儿钢骨怎么救得起来地球hhh火星猎人就不说了，长得像布莱尼亚克应该是大导演维基百科搜索的时候联想结果错了。自封莎士比亚复活都写不出的作品添加了史诗级无聊的镜头最后看完我不能说惊艳只能说惊吓，让人一度想起看BvS的时候被困意支配的恐惧，一定要把电影拍得这么无聊吗？gurl I- 自己加油吧…
仿佛曾经在影院观看的《正义联盟》是个加了蛮多非正片影像素材的超长预告片，时隔几年后，千呼万唤始出来的《扎克·施奈德版正义联盟》才终于让我见到了电影的庐山真面目。感觉自己挺久没在电脑前看到如此让我又嗨又爽的美国超级英雄电影了（音响音量全程开到最大），上一次可能得追溯到《复仇者联盟4：终局之战》上映前重温的《复仇者联盟3：无限战争》？尽管整体观感给力，但部分故事情节编排还是不甚满意。超人的战斗力犹如开挂般的存在（隔壁漫威的惊奇队长亦是如此），蝙蝠侠却没能足够发挥头脑/装备的优势而显得较弱（相较之下还是更喜欢诺兰版蝙蝠侠、以及动画《蝙蝠侠：黑暗骑士归来》里的蝙蝠侠，乃至「乐高蝙蝠侠」啦）。……如若是能像《神奇女侠》《海王》一样在IMAX影厅观影应该会看得更爽吧？！
剧情没有丝毫改变，依然是超人和他的挂件们，无非就是挂件们的镜头多了点。慢镜头的滥用和莫名其妙的插曲把影片的连贯性打得稀碎，难以想象这是一个名导演的剪辑水平。
这部电影的最后部分，还是留下了许多铺垫的，希望还能有扎克施耐德导演的后续影片出现。而最后维克多父亲对儿子的一番话，也寄托了扎导对逝去女儿的款款深情。
再也看不到一部分人无法接受，但另一部分人爱得深沉的叙事风格；
一环紧扣着一环，在这部电影里给了我们DC粉丝太多太多的惊喜，每位Hero的现身，每句台词都引起我疯狂的欢呼。
喜欢，如果以一次刷一季迷你剧的心态来看，节奏其实蛮舒适的，有娓娓道来+蓄力感，小高潮不断穿插其中。这波一放开手扎导又开始狂扔慢镜头了😂习惯了也还好，打戏的力量感、速度感、调度和奇观展现都是超英漫改顶级水平。人物动机逻辑都能立住，情感联系非常动人，小闪那段暴风哭泣😭是迟来的承诺，是扎导给粉丝的情书，是和解的句点，感到了满满的诚意与爱。“创造属于自己的未来”。很美，很满足，这就够了。A-
比原版确实好一点点，至少人物背景故事都有了。但是故事大纲没变，所以这个剧情依旧不咋地。。。渣导一心想要营造黑暗气氛，想要装B，为此还改变了影调，饱和度还有画幅，但是。。。他那么多年动不动就慢镜头的毛病却还是一点都没有长进，这点不改就不要指望自己成为什么大导演了。。。全片的最大亮点其实是平行时空的那段。如果拍那个超人黑化的故事，绝对比现在这个小强打外星人的故事要好看一百倍。。。所以如果华纳还觉得DCEU有就的话，就不要搞什么到现在都还是一团乱麻的暮光之城蝙蝠侠了，不如横下心拍大家都黑化的不义联。。。毕竟DCEU这堆烂摊子，不搞点猛料大概率是救不活了。。。
想到扎克施耐德会进步没想到进步那么大!尽管他一直以来的毛病没改，但也比尾灯版那部不知所云的烂片要强!
正片4星，但是能够看到这部本来该有的样子，我还是给了5……这坑也未免挖太大了呜呜，我真的好想看丧钟
四星半，失望的点在超人复活和选择复活超人时蝙蝠的态度反应，没有大的变化。
