Zack Snyder’s Justice League<\/strong>, released in 2021<\/p>\n Superman is dead. Bruce Wayne is trying to put together a group of metahumans to battle the next great foe, but Arthur Currie says no. Meanwhile, Steppenwolf has appeared at Themyscira to steal its Mother Box — he’s now on his way to get the two others, so he can conquer the Earth. Diana Prince receives her mother’s message and knows that an invasion is at hand — she knows that these invaders came once before, long ago, and she goes to tell Bruce.<\/p>\n Sometimes fans get what they want — they demanded the Snyder cut of this movie, and they got it. Astonishingly, this cut is 4 hours long with apparently no footage that was shot by Joss Whedon. I previously reviewed the Joss Whedon cut<\/a>.<\/p>\n I saw the original 5 years ago. I’m not sure what I would say if I compared them back to back, but here’s what I think watching this one now.<\/p>\n Visually, it’s very good. I appreciated a bunch of scenes, but I was also a bit impatient with it. For one thing, there’s an absurd amount of slow motion. I essentially knew what was going to happen — scenes might have been shot in a different way, and there’s more back story. There’s some way over the top action.<\/p>\n There are certainly some terrific parts, with some great actors. There are a couple of surprises at the end.<\/p>\n It’s about what happens when you work together.<\/p>\n If you haven’t seen the original and you like these characters, you might want to watch this version.<\/p>\n Stars Henry Cavill, Ray Fisher, Ezra Miller, Joe Morton, Jeremy Irons, Connie Nielsen, Amy Adams, and Diane Lane. Directed by Zack Snyder (Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice<\/strong><\/a>).<\/p>\n The music is completely different than the original cut. Thomas Holkenborg’s score is sombre with flourishes of intensity for action scenes, with his own Wonder Woman<\/strong> theme and Hans Zimmer’s Man of Steel<\/strong> theme.<\/p>\n
