A far better film that NEEDS a sequel.
I never thought I would be asking for a sequel to the Justice League but after watching Zack Snyder's original vision in all it's glory, I have to say... we absolutely need to see Snyder's Justice League 2. The movie is absolutely stunning to look at and the action scenes as well as the overall design and framing is greatly improved. There is far more context given (obviously) but I honestly felt myself naturally moving from scene to scene, enjoying every aspect just that little bit more because of the set up this film gives you. The performances are all strong, the music is godlike at times. The aspect ratio at first feels strange but very quickly becomes not only bearable but actually admirable. Everything feels earned, every time Steppenwolf took another Mother box a little chill went down my spine and the spacing out between them is perfect. I'm glad each character had time to have their own little stories too, it gave me a far greater emotional connection to the stakes of the movie. Darkside isn't in the movie much but time practically stops when he is and it's awesome. The ending of the film sets up a hell of a lot and I absolutely must see what Snyder was going to do with a sequel. The pieces In play are just too good not to capitalise on. Overall, a pretty brilliant film. I barely felt the time, neither did my brothers who watched it with me. We all loved it. A strong 8 to a light 9/10.score 9/10
