About this movie

Fueled by his restored faith in humanity and inspired by Superman’s selfless act, Bruce Wayne enlists the help of his newfound ally, Diana Prince, to face an even greater enemy. Together, Batman and Wonder Woman work quickly to find and recruit a team of metahumans to stand against this newly awakened threat. But despite the formation of this unprecedented league of heroes—Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash—it may already be too late to save the planet from an assault of catastrophic proportions

Ratings and reviews

I thought that Flash was miscast. Flash is goofy and obnoxious, however, the actor made him awkward, angsty, and sarcastic. I could tell that the actor was trying to be funny (good effort), but, his comedic timing is off: like he has to find it in a different galaxy, off. The film spent too much time introducing and reintroducing the characters. 40 minutes into the movie and the plot hasn't progressed because we're still in the middle of an origin story. The main villain was forgettable.

Do NOT buy this movie. It is dreadful and became the inspiration for releasing the vastly superior Snyder Cut now available on HBO max or Crave in Canada. As a long time DC comic fan and collector I looked forward to this movie for decades. This movie was so awful I actually turned to my family in the theatre back in 2017 and apologized to them for having brought them to see this disaster. For most that don’t know, a tragic event occurred in Zack Snyder’s life that forced him to dropout of the production. Joss Wheaton then took the helm and turned a potential masterpiece into a complete disarray. The Zachary Snyder cut is amazing and comparing that version to this would be like comparing a high end Lamborghini to a 1970s Ford Pinto. See the Snyder cut and do NOT purchase this version!

Snyder Cut is finally here. You can stream it now or wait for Blu-Ray discs later this year (reportedly at the end of May) Due to some circumstances Justice League couldn’t be finished properly. A new director came to finish the project half a year before its release. Some additional scenes were shot, and they are all cringey. Many subplots were thrown away because the studio suddenly decided that they wanted a 2-hour movie. CGI couldn’t be finished properly and some of the scenes look very, very cheap. But, as I said, a new version is already available. A definitive version, the original vision. It’s called “Zack Snyder’s Justice League”. Highly recommend to check it out when it becomes available. And this version... Lets just pretend it never existed.
