This four-hour endurance test of a movie is a jumble of CGI battles and endless overuse slow motion.

I think it's boring, coherently boring...

Full Review | Mar 30, 2021

Let's not forget that the Snyder Cut was in part willed into being by a toxic social media campaign, mob rule begetting a mystical monocultural object that is finally much bigger than its ostensible creator.

Zack Snyder's Justice League shows Snyder's evolution from a director known for emphasizing style over substance to a man who understands why we love superhero myths, whether they live in the DC Universe or Marvel's.

Full Review | Mar 23, 2021

It's a better bad film, full of CGI shenanigans.

Full Review | Mar 22, 2021

As much as some of the scenes made me, a casual DC Universe fan, gasp, the film's brutal length and scattershot storytelling induce more headaches than thrills.

Full Review | Mar 22, 2021

I'm not saying superhero movies or comic book movies can't have the range. I'm just saying I'm not sure that Snyder does.

This film is infinitely better. Zack Snyder's Justice League is a deeper, richer version.

Full Review | Original Score: B+ | Mar 20, 2021

[While] Snyder's version can certainly be stunning, it's ultimately undone by his excesses and the underlying flaws of an overstuffed story.

Is this an improvement over the more straightforward and much shorter original? Not to this reviewer, though I was in the minority who actually enjoyed the 2017 film.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 19, 2021

It is a grind, it is a slog, it is a bore-it's a mental toothache of a movie, whose ending grants not so much resolution as relief.

Full Review | Mar 19, 2021

The result: hardly an ounce of difference.

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/4 | Mar 19, 2021

Still, a major improvement when all is said and done, and Snyder has conclusively proved his point.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 18, 2021

Four-plus hours is plenty of time for Snyder to have his say, yet he doesn't appear willing to let it go. But justice has been served, and it's time to move on.

Full Review | Original Score: C | Mar 18, 2021

DC should change its initials to DGAF.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4 | Mar 18, 2021

Is the whole four hours really necessary? Not remotely. Still, Snyder and his fans have not fought in vain: this is genuinely a different film from the earlier Justice League, and a much more coherent one.

Full Review | Original Score: 3.5/5 | Mar 18, 2021

It actually succeeds. In more ways than I ever expected.

Full Review | Mar 18, 2021

I'd love to say it isn't half-bad, but I can't, because it is. It's roughly 50 percent bad.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 18, 2021

Justice League is ambitious popcorn movie making-meets-Greek mythology that is often just satisfied bowing down to its God-like characters as they move slowly and operatically through spaces, carrying their emotional burdens.

Full Review | Original Score: 3/5 | Mar 17, 2021

Yet as a salvage job on one of cinema's biggest catastrophes, Zack Snyder's Justice League is startlingly ambitious and deeply rewarding film-making.
