Justice League The Snyder Cut Movie Review

It Was Good

I just finished watching, Justice League The Snyder Cut and it was good. I don't think it was great, but it was good.

I'm just going to use IMDB's description for this film, "Determined to ensure Superman's ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne aligns forces with Diana Prince with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions. The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, Cyborg and The Flash may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid and their dreadful intentions."

So after a ton of build up, how was it? It was fine. I thought it was an enjoyable film, but it is being over hyped. This review is going to be shorter than I anticipated. I don't have a whole lot to say.

I suppose I'll start on the more positive notes. It is better than the theatrical release fore sure. The film has solid action and it was nice to see. The pacing is surprisingly good given the fact that this is a four hour long film. The main villain of the movie was improved. That's probably one of the best parts of the film was the villain.

I really liked the scenes with Cyborg and Flash. I think those two actors nailed their performances and I would see solo films for these characters. I think I would have liked to have seen a little more of these characters though.

The CGI is good 80% of the time. There are a few scenes which don't really look that good, but they are in the minority. The design of the Steppenwolf was pretty cool and the CGI done on him was pretty solid in my opinion.

I didn't really feel like these actors had the best chemistry all the time though. This is just something that was picking at the back of my mind as I'm writing this.

I've been watching more of the DCAMU movies as of late, and I'm enjoying them a heck of a lot more than the DCEU. I'm going to include the Snyder Cut in this. Though The Snyder Cut is fun, it is an investment.

If you like DC, I would recommend watching the Snyder Cut at least once, but I don't know about its rewatch value.

final score: 3/5
