...WAS IT WORTH ALL THE FUSS, THEN?
Zack Snyder’s Justice League is one of the best comic book films of all time.
– Sheraz Farooqi, ComicBook Debate
Zack Snyder’s Justice League is one of the best superhero films ever made.
– Dewey Singleton, AwardsWatch
The superhero movies that have achieved a genuine sweeping transcendence can just about be counted on one hand… to that hallowed list I would now add Zack Snyder’s Justice League.
– Owen Gleiberman, Variety
This four-hour cut is the kind of brazen auteurist vision that Martin Scorsese was calling for when he complained (rightly) that most modern superhero movies don’t resemble cinema.
– Matt Zoller Seitz, RogerEbert.com
Sound good to me! To be fair there were some bad reviews, and rotten tomatoes only has it in the %70's, but I'm a little more excited now. Thoughts?

It's certainly surprising to me. It seems fitting for DC these days that Snyder would get the last laugh. If it keeps it up anyway.

If this goes particularly well, might they let him direct more DC? Maybe even a Justice League 2? I always did think he would make a good solo Batman movie. One can hope...

This is all very suspect. I'll wait on reviews after it comes out. Objective reviews that aren't from Snyder fantards.

Lmao but when Marvel releases Antman 8 and the critics lap it up all you’ll do is make fun of anyone questioning the critical integrity. For what it’s worth, I think I think a lot of critics are grading on a bit of a curve. The Snyder Cut movement did a lot of good charity work and the entire thing is dedicated to Snyder’s daughter who took her own life. On top of that, it’s a ragtag streaming movie that took years to get traction. I’m not saying they’re lying about liking it, I’m just saying I’m sure many of them were more than happy to put a stamp of approval on it even if it didn’t quite do it for them. |

I think you're probably right. Add to it that we've now learned that Whedon is a total dick, I think these critics want to like this movie, and they probably do...mostly. |

I watched roughly the first half of this. So far, it's a mind-numbingly boring, ugly-as-sin slog, full of dull characters and obnoxious "muh DC-godz!" hero worship. I had to pause it several times.
At this point, I don't feel like continuing. It really sucks to be a pathological completionist, sometimes.

I don't bash people who like or dislike Marvel films. There are plenty of them I don't like myself.

Just finished it. It’s pretty good. I like it. There’s a plot hole with Darkseid’s goal though.

I didn't think his goal had a plot hole, but there are 2 glaring ones in the overall plot regarding him imo. For me it’s the Anti-Life Equation. Darkseid tries to conquer Earth using the three motherboxes to terraform Earth. Darkseid even slams the ground and the omega symbol shows. Also Wonder Woman narrates and says “As Darkseid waged war on Earth, he found a secret there. A power hidden in the infinity of space”. Now, after Steppenwolf finds the second motherbox, it later calls to him and shows him a vision that the Anti-Life Equation is on Earth. Steppenwolf slams the ground the same exact way Darkseid did thousands of years ago. He informs Desaad and Darkseid that it’s on Earth and they seemed like they didn’t know. I thought Darkseid already knew though. If I’m missing something please explain.

I thought Darkseid already knew though. If I’m missing something please explain. Ah see no I agree and that is one of the plotholes I saw, but I don't consider it a plot hole in his goal, but in his backstory, which is easily worked around, Darkseid has to now use ships to conquer worlds, but he used to use boom tubes via the Motherbox's, so when he was defeated he escaped via boom tube with some of his army whilst the rest were slaughtered, os no he has to search the universe the slow way, and as such he doesn't know the way to earth via spaceship, pretty simple imo, but yeah this is a plothole and a rather large one tbh. The other one imo is once he learns of Earth as the location of the Anti-Life Equation why does he not come in full force to claim it, like why trust Steppenwolf to find it and hand it over to Darkseid when Steppenwolf already tried to overthrow Darkseid once before? I mean one Motherbox summoned Steppenwolf and his army so why can't two open a boom tube for Darkseid and his army? just feels quite ill thought out overall imo. But I still like the movie, just need to switch my brain off at those bits is all, how bout you?

I give it a 9/10 I give it an 8.5 myself, my gripes were the plotholes as mentioned, the movie is too long, like it could easily be 3 1/2 hrs without a bunch of ultimately meaningless scenes peppered in just to give actors more screen time, and the nightmare sequence at the end unlike other scenes which went too long this was the most self indulgent scene of the movie imo Snyder had, and it's horrible for it, but thank god it doesn't ruin the movie and can just be ignored for the needless bs.
