Read Negative User Reviews for Zack Snyder's Justice League

julius98Mar 18, 2021

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Somehow both better than and worse than the 2017 version. Zack Snyder's Justice League is a long, confusing and meandering fanfest that introduces more problems than it fixes. We are given more context for the backstories of characters, but they lack the emotional weight that should make us care about the characters. The movie is only dark in the sense that the colour palette mostly consists of blacks and Grey's. Steer away unless you're a die-hard Snyder fan.… Expand

A user rating of 9 here on Metacritic? Has fandom become so cult like that just because it’s not the Joss version we initially got people are now clamoring to praise this garbage version? Zack Snyder, the king of drawing out moves with way too many slow motion sequences, outdoes himself by somehow ruining the pacing within already slogged down sequences by making a multitude of awkward choices. Want to hear a couple of ladies sing for some reason? You see it’s cool because it’s not in English and might make you think of something from a better movie. Didn’t think you got enough time eying a briefcase in slow-mow? This movie’s got you covered. Want to see a sesame seed up close for longer than a second for what is basically no reason? No? Too bad. I’ve heard other people say this before, but this prince of everything surface basically made parts of the movie a lame slow motion music video. These scenes are meaningless. Yes it is more. Much more, but none of it added up to create something more interesting this time around. Here’s a new drinking game for this and all future Snyder movies. Drink every time a pop ballad plays and excessive slow motion is forced to begin. I swear he doesn’t actually think anything out. He just says to himself, “you know what would look cool” and goes no deeper then that. F#@k your 4 hour movie. It should have been trimmed.… Expand

Every scene has seven takes showing exactly the same thing. The islandic women singing farewell song. That was too much. It's unbearable.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Way too long, terrible pacing, at an hour in you realize you could be halfway through any other superhero movie and nothing has happened yet.

The Flash and Cyborg are surprise stand outs.

Joker and Batman are extreme low points and neither were convincingly written or portrayed. The tone, characterization, and score are all over the place. Similar to BvS there are random slow scenes inserted in otherwise dramatic moments that completely undercut the pacing.… Expand

I’m not a fan of his of his “trilogy” of DC movies. They’re loud and bombastic and overly stylized to a degree that becomes numbing to me. Couple that style with a script that is jam packed with comic book nonsense...it’s just not for me (or a general audience who isn’t into this like a die hard comic book fan). Are storylines and characters fleshed out (in comparison to the 2017 Joss Whedon hybrid)? Yes...but (to me) that’s not necessarily a good thing when the characters are still boring and bland. Cyborg is a devastating bore and his origin is given a HUGE piece of screen time and it’s ultimately uninteresting. One thing I’m curious about- THE FLASH and his introductory scene. The fans of these movies HATED the Whedon induced humor in the previous incarnation but are giving a pass to the annoyingly unfunny Pet Shop sequence? That whole scene alternated between unfunny and outright bizarre. When he saved the random girl in the car (with the STRANGE and out of place song choice)... bizarre sequence. Overall- it’s a movie that at its core is not my thing. I love a great Batman and Superman movie when the director / cast / script is right ...but this isn’t it.… Expand

Also, special mention the part where a little girl asks Wonder Woman if she can be like her, and she says something like, you can be whatever you want was so cringe and dumb, I get the cringe message they were trying to send but come on, of course you can't you dumb girl, she was born with damn super powers.

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I think in a lot of ways its plot is more sensible than Whedon's cut, but somehow structurally the worse movie. I don't think movies have to be under some sort of arbitrary time limit in order to be good, but I think if you make a 4 hour movie it should probably earn that runtime. Instead, Zack Snyder's Justice League is exhausting, with so many scenes especially early on that could've been cut at no loss to the narrative. Many characters have multiple "first introduction" scenes, and I think it's obvious that the first Flash and Aquaman scenes don't really work either emotionally or in the context of the rest of the film (that part where Barry brushes Iris' hair while he's saving her life is maybe the worst thing Snyder has ever made).

I think the story around the movie is endlessly interesting, though. So many glowing reviews seem to highlight the triumph of this film compared to Whedon's cut, probably due to the backstory around the two directors. Some comic based reviewers have stated how this is a movie made for them, but as a comic book reader (and DC fan particularly) I can't understand that. Maybe the best example is the Martian Manhunter scene, which takes place right in the middle of an important conversation and has no logic to it whatsoever. Is what people want out of comic book movies now really just fanservice? Snyder seems to think he's reinventing the wheel and making serious, thought-provoking comic book films, but in reality his films (his "true vision", even) have much less to say than Marvel's quick, snappy popcorn flicks. Have we come so far since the days of Adam West's Batman, only to settle in a desire for stories about the insanely powerful fighting otherworldly CGI monsters? DC comics and storylines in fact work the best when we zoom in on these literal gods to see their humanity, but ZSJL has an almost unflinching desire to stay away from that. The most we get is Cyborg using his powers to help an impoverished woman, or Wonder Woman saving a bunch of kids from terrorists. But this latter scene is undercut both by the obnoxious lamentation music the film plays every time Wonder Woman is on screen and her ultimate decision to end the conflict by nearly blowing up the building herself.

These are more nitpicky complaints, but man I really can't stand The Flash in this movie, and I unapologetically love the campy CW show. The movie is at its most exhausting either when its trying to be light-hearted or funny, or when it fully embraces the melodrama (that first Lois Lane scene is vintage Snyder). I can't tell whether it's better than Whedon's cut, but I do know I feel silly for sitting through either of them.… Expand

It does improve on the original cut. The characters are much more fleshed out with proper backstories. However the pacing is just dreadful. 4 hours and it feels like it could have been cut down to 2.5 -3 hours.

It is filled with even more plot holes than Whedon's theatrical release, only now there's a ton of unnecessary scenes that literally add nothing to the story and only add to the already long list of unanswered questions.

I don't mind the 4:3 aspect ratio. I don't even mind the long runtime. But I can't look past the glaringly obvious plot holes, uncomfortably drawn out & unnecessary scenes, or the jumbled editing & intermittently bad CGI. I won't even get into the tired slow-mo gimmick, or the terrible score/soundtrack.

I want to end by saying that I understand Zack suffered a tremendous loss only to have WB screw him over on top of it. But even if none of that happened and this was the movie we got to see in theaters years ago, I'd still have the exact same problems with it.… Expand

Worth watching if you have 4 hours to waste, but you can probably fast forward at least half the movie and still enjoy it. Don't bother with three epilogue, unless you want to see Batman's dream. I can forgive the 2005 CGI and pretty wooden acting, but this is nothing more than a polished turd.… Expand

Did Zack Snyder reign inIs it better than the theatrical release? Sure. Does it still wildly misunderstand the characters and have them behave like joyless, dour, and morose gods who seem completely disconnected from their human side? Sure. Did Zack Snyder reign in his worst tendencies? No. It's a bloated 4 hours with too much slow mo and a ridiculous aspect ratio for home release and an aversion to color that is comically absurd. Snyder films also have this whole pretentious angle to them where you can feel him really hamfistedly trying to make points about big ideas or issues through his superhero films. It's fine to make a point. It can be great. Captain America Civil War and James Bond Skyfall were two films that did an amazing job of being blockbusters that dealt with deeper themes. Those were good fun films too. Snyder just doesn't really seem to understand how to have fun with these characters and fails to really let any of them have a personality. That makes his pretentious statements about stuff cringey because they don't make sense. If you love his stuff? Sure, you'll love this. If you don't? You will probably like this better than the original but you're not going to watch it several times a year like you might with, say, The Dark Knight because it's just missing humanity. It makes sense that Snyder made Cyborg the main character: he's gotta be a robot because he just doesn't understand humans.… Expand

It is long, boring, pointless, tasteless and just overall such a slog to get through and I had tried to force myself to care about this film over and over again but throughout the entire affair I just found myself waiting for the good part to begin, since so many fans and people had praised this and stood by it and act as if it is the greatest film ever conceived by mankind. It never came. It only continued to drag along and throw in random cameos and characters for no reason other than "oh hey I know that guy". The acting is awful, the dialogue is downright laughable and I just cannot believe people actually call this a masterpiece. A masterpiece of schlock and bad writing, sure. But the pinnacle of hero films? Not by a long shot. And we can't just award it for being better than the 2017 version of the film, because that is already a low bar to pass. I genuinely hope this is the last we see of a Zack Snyder DC film because I don't think I can stomach anymore of this fake deep artistic vision he so loves to spew and his fans absolutely love to eat up.… Expand

Even with that in mind, it should have been cut to an hour buildup. Overall it was a solid upgrade to the mismatched previous version. It was darker and lacking any heart, as well as fun.

Almost every new scene screams of rushed cgi. This is by far my newest favorite movie to **** on. What a glorious mess. Was it better than the original? No, but it did make a few of the fight scenes better. Also.... the reach around scene.... truly comedic gold. Sadly I am laughing at the movie, not with it.

Es un hecho que la película mejora un poco, pero si tomamos en cue ta que la trama en general aún es mala, la inclusión de 2 horas más la vuelve tortuosa, relleno que trata de explicar situaciones que podrían explicarse si se hubiera hecho la estructura de un universo con anterioridad y que en su afán de dar una explicación, rompen completamente con el ritmo que lleva causando desinterés y aburrimiento y en ocaciones perdiendo do el sentido mismo de la trama, además, la música es ridícula y sin sentido, una clara copia de watchmen pero implementada de una forma nefasta, el error más grande se da cuando tratas de abarcar con un montón de posibilidades pero no explicas o das cuenta de como es que va a pasar....… Expand

This movie ticks all the Snyder boxes: it's stupid, way too long, CGI is laughable, there are lots of "threatening" stares and plot holes, dialogues are pompous and dumb, colours are non existent and most importantly, it's emo.

The Joss Whedon cut was terrible, this new one is just passable. The great reviews this movie is enjoying comes down to Snyder fans thinking Zack Snyder is a truly deep and visionary director, set down by the evil, greedy corporations who for some reason (those horrible Man of Steel and BvS movies) hate him. At the end of the day, the movie is still a cluster **** with tacky writing, manupulative storytelling (i.e. the Knightmare scenes), and corny characters just as bad as the last one. Snyder fans are delusional for enjoying this.… Expand

The visualizations are poorly done and will not age well. Reminds me of some bad 80s fantasy movie copying a better story. The sound is ridiculous too, every action has some charging up sound even if it’s just a handgun or someone jumping.
