Review of Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021) by Marujovi — 26 Jun 2021

Zack Snyder's Justice League is amazing, epic and full of heart. Every character has a profound story arc, nothing is too much or just because, the dialogue is rich (not as much as BvS), but understandable and connected. Great job by Snyder and Terrio. When I saw the Amazons, I wanted to be one of them, fighting to protect the mother box, they are such a badasses, so strong and beautiful. Zack Snyder knows how to portray strong intelligent women and connect them with the audience. Goosebumps the entire time! The same happened with every Wonder Woman scene. She's more used to this world, but always ready for a fight, without losing her warrior nature and her kindness. My daughter loves her even more, she felt the goosebumps too!! Batman is everything and more, Ben Affleck is FANTASTIC. His journey from BvS to ZSJL is well done, the impact of Superman in his life and how that changed his view of the Kryptonian and the humanity at the same time put him back to be the hero/vigilante that we love so much. The World's Finest should be the next movie with them together, after The Batfleck movie of course. Batfleck's chemistry with Jared Leto's Joker was palpable, it really felt like those two have been at each other's throats for years. I'd tasted the blood and only left me wanting more. Knightmare is what I was expecting more from ZSJL and UGH, Can I have another 4 hours with just Knightmare, please?

Aquaman from here and from there, the mistery, the legend that surrounded him in his town was engaging, beautiful and majestic. Ray Fisher was fantastic as Victor Stone and Cyborg he has a great future as an actor. The heart of the movie indeed. His story arc is painful, but full of love, understanding and acceptance. I wish Warner Brothers would stop being afraid of making Dramas with comic book characters. I think that genre is great for CBM. It attracts adults and kids. Zack Snyder's Justice League is for every age. Perfectly balanced. CBM doesn't need to be Comedy-Actions all the time. I love when the artists (Directors, writers) take the characters seriously and not as a joke. To me, too many jokes kills the characters journey and the realism. So Snyder's movies doesn't suffer of that. One negative thing I have to say about The Snyder Cut is that I was expecting to see the political and social themes, how the League impacted the world and the reaction of the governments, but I think that is too much for the general audience, because all these themes plus the psychological and philosophical were included in Batman v Superman and that was too much for the general audience. So, I see why Zack and Chris made the decision of not including them, but still disappointed because I was really looking forward to that. But that didn't take away how amazingly well done this movie is. One of the best Comic Book Movies for sure.
