Leave your thoughts about Zack Snyder's Justice League.
| The TelegraphRobbie CollinIt shares a vague shape and a handful of specific, linchpin scenes with its predecessor, but everything about it lands differently: characters that were previously empty or ludicrous now have real grit and depth, while action sequences that were once incoherent, lightweight and garish now number among the most thunderously spectacular in the genre. |
| VarietyOwen GleibermanThe new movie — and make no mistake, it really is a new movie — is more than a vindication of Snyder’s original vision. It’s a grand, nimble, and immersive entertainment, a team-of-heroes origin story that, at heart, is classically conventional, yet it’s now told with such an intoxicating childlike sincerity and ominous fairy-tale wonder that it takes you back to what comic books, at their best, have always sought to do: make you feel like you’re seeing gods at play on Earth. |
| Film ThreatAnthony Ray BenchThis film is gorgeous, massive in scope, well-written, and superbly acted. It goes beyond being a Michael Bay-explosion fest and definitively transcends action and destruction porn. This is a real movie. Every single issue I had with the original release is fixed—everything from pacing, cinematography, acting, characterization, and even the film’s score. |
| RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzIt's so bombastic that it makes "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" seem modest. |
| SlateKaren HanSnyder’s Justice League is more, more, more in a way that most films wouldn’t dare, and, after a year of no theaters at all, a movie that makes me long to return to a multiplex—to see more movies that commit so completely to a vision that it’s impossible not to be swept away. |
| San Francisco ChronicleMick LaSalleZack Snyder’s Justice League may not be a great film, but it has the madness, strangeness and obsessiveness of a real work of art. |
| CNNBrian LowryIt's a fascinating exercise and superior to its predecessor, but clocking in at four hours, the operatic highs are somewhat offset by the lack of any pressure to say "cut." |
| IGNTom JorgensenZack Snyder’s Justice League is a surprise vindication for the director and the fans that believed in his vision. With a mature approach to its superhero drama, better-realized antagonists, and improved action, Snyder’s version of Justice League saves the movie from the dustbin of history. |
| The GuardianPeter BradshawSnyder’s film may be exhausting but it is engaging. Justice is served. |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRichard RoeperLike Superman when he’s first brought back to life, the new Justice League isn’t necessarily better than the original, but it’s different and darker, markedly so. |
