Callum H So I got done watching #zachsnydersjusticeleague, and the first thing I have to say is, I have a headache. Make sure you hydrate during this because I forgot. First the good. All the characters are better. All the superhero's have more opportunity to show off the personalities, their powers and have a greater impact on the story. More time is also spent on the villain and his motives, and one particular side character ends up having a much greater roll in the film. Because they spend more time on the characters the story ends up being better as well. With four hours there is plenty of time to tell a decent narrative and they definitely improve on what came before. The fighting also got an improvement, with better choreography, longer fight scenes and better pacing I found the fighting to be a big highlight. And finally if there is one thing Zach Snyder is know for, it's his cinematography, and he shows it off in this. Every shot was masterfully crafted and framed. Overall this is a big improvement over the original versions native, characters and visuals. So, the bad. I didn't like the aspect ratio. I know it was a artistic decision, and they wanted to show the film in a specific way, but it's just not good to look at. I felt like I was watching a cropped, bootlegged version of the film and I really hope they #releasethewidescreencut at some point in the future. The length I found to be an issue, mostly due to some very long and drawn out scenes in the first half as well as some scenes that really weren't needed and could have been left on the cutting room floor. I know this is supposed to be everything Zach wanted, but when a scene has ended and I think "I gained nothing from that and it didn't do anything for the story or characters", then it could have been left out. Also if they got rid of all the long pauses, where someone looks longingly into the middle distance then they could've shaved off 30 minutes alone. But then if they did that you wouldn't see Lois Lane until the two hour mark. A lot of the music was changed in this version and I didn't like most of it. Wonder Woman was definitely done dirty because a lot of the scenes she was in, that used to have her theme playing, instead had what I can only imagine is an opera singer stubbing their toe. Quite a few of the action scenes, mostly in the first half, would have some high octane imagery, with a low octane soundtrack. Maybe it works for some people, but I found the juxtaposition distracting. And finally, and I think I'll get some hate for this, but I found a lot of the dialog in the first film better. Joss Whedon is known for his character interaction, and I'm not just talking about quipping, but things like the janitor giving his condolences to Dr Stone for loosing his son as he leaves work, or the way Bruce provokes Diana about Steve's death and her reaction. Both those scenes, as well as plenty more, are gone. And even though I prefer the overall tone a lot more in this version, it has lost something by removing these smaller moments. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 11/28/25 Full Review Uncle R. Too dark for a normal Justice League movie Terrible acting Bad CGI Riddled with comic inaccuracies Way too long of a movie Boring Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/16/25 Full Review Stathis K Visuals: 10/10 – Epic, stylized, and cinematic. The 4:3 frame and rich color grading give it a mythic, grand feel. Soundtrack: 9.5/10 – Junkie XL delivers a massive, emotional score that finally gives the team the weight they deserved. Action: 9.5/10 – Steppenwolf is actually intimidating, the team fights feel coordinated, and every hero gets a moment to shine. Story: 9/10 – Much clearer, deeper, and more emotional than the theatrical cut. Cyborg’s arc especially stands out. Performances: 9/10 – Everyone feels more fleshed out. Affleck’s calmer Batman, Cavill’s black-suit Superman, and Fisher’s Cyborg all hit harder. Overall, 9.2/10 Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 11/16/25 Full Review Dm C Epic! The full version makes the story more solid, with more details worth noticing. Perfect casting. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 11/09/25 Full Review Matthew G Terrible Film and It's like a modified 2017 version same story and they really doesn't understand comics. Definitely the worst movie of 2021. Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 10/29/25 Full Review Vicar E. Honestly if you can give this movie below a then a 4 you're just a movie comics snob, and honestly, you probably don't know a thing or two about the actual comic book characters. Most of these reviews that are negative are just about one person 's point of view when they have no frame of reference of a character or The comic books Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/18/25 Full Review Read all reviews
