Review of Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) by Beowulf69 — 18 Mar 2021

Yet another example of the director's lack of understanding of how to make a good film. Poor pacing, poor editing, odd shot selection, and an inconsistent tone plague this version of the film even more than Batman vs Superman.

Yes, there is new information in this film vs the original. Yes, there are more things to look at. Yes, we're now able to know more about some of the characters than we did in the first version. That's just grand. Even so, this extra stuff doesn't make it a good movie - it just makes it extra. Even with this director's better understanding of action, the movie is just as boring as the original. With all that action, it's still a slog. Snyder's Justice League feels like nothing more than fan service. It most certainly doesn't feel like a single cohesive movie. It's bloated and slow, with cringeworthy dialogue at times, and simply doesn't satisfy as a film. This could've been a better movie. It feels like a better movie is in there somewhere.
