Review of Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) by Thetrinitykid — 19 Mar 2021

Snyder cut review.

Halfway through, at chapter 4.

So this part of my review halfway through. The characters are all improved and better. All the arcs have been taken great care of by snyder. The only exceptions would be the Lois Lane arc and the Commissioner Gordon character. Seeing the back story Cyborg was amazing and really puts him front and center to set up an amazing arc. Having Barry's arc more fleshed out and developed was good but not too much to save more for his feature film. There are alot of scenes I would have preferred been cut, and alot Iike in the movie that really should have been in the 2017 one. I feel like more of the scenes added are likable than unlikable, and really there aren't alot of unlikeable scenes just unnecessary ones. I also feel that the intro scenes and cgi are at times tacky but not to the point where it drastically ruins the film just something to cringe or laugh at. Chapter 3 so far has been my favorite one because we can see all the characters start to come together and blend into each other's arcs. Steppenwolf isn't a major improvement but the motives and reasons for him to be there along with the overall realization that darkseid might be the main villain is really interesting and draws you closer to being interested in the villains. I am now starting chapter 4 at exactly 1:51:35.

Part 2. The final battle was the exact opposite of the 2017 cut version. It utilizes every character to have a role. What flash did at the end opens a whole realm of possibilities not possible with the 2017 cut and if this is made the cannon cut then the flash film will have so much more to build on. Darkseid needs to return as well. And Jared Leto can play the joker when given a good script and he **** did it. The joker he played here was **** amazing. Batman and superman mirroring each other in the battle was amazing and the way they lead this team was awesome. Diana and Aquaman's ass kicking boss fight was **** great, cyborg has had the greatest role in this film and Ray Fisher needs to return to this character. This movie is the greatest comic book movie of all time. Zack Snyder took these characters and ran with them. He blended in the most surreal dark aspects of the DC universe possible and he created a wonderful film that really makes you appreciate both the original 2017 cut, and the entire DC extended universe even more. Yes this movie has unnecessarily long drawn out sequences yes it some bad cgi here and there yes there are a few cringe lines of dialogue, but this is honest to God the best super hero movie I have ever seen. Snyder cut needs to be cannon and we need a sequel.
