\u201cRelease the Snyder Cut,\u201d has been a rallying cry for nerds across the internet since \u201cJustice League\u201d premiered in 2017 to lukewarm reviews<\/a>.  On March 18, fans finally got their wish when HBO Max<\/a> released \u201cZack Snyder\u2019s Justice League.\u201d  A four-hour film that feels more like a miniseries than a movie, it\u2019s a lot to unpack. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I recently re-watched the original theatrical version of \u201cJustice League<\/a>,\u201d and just like the first time I saw it, I thought it was okay.  The only DC movie I really enjoyed was \u201cWonder Woman,\u201d and I don\u2019t like most of Zack Snyder\u2019s other films.  I had low expectations for \u201cZSJL\u201d going in, but I was pleasantly surprised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are plenty of minor differences between this version and the theatrical version along with some major differences ones as well.\u00a0 The best things about \u201cZSJL\u201d are the ways the characters are fleshed out, something that\u2019s especially important since Flash and Cyborg never got their own movies.\u00a0 Cyborg\u2019s backstory in particular is well-explained and fits nicely into the rest of the narrative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This version does a much better job of showing how the Justice League comes up with a plan to defeat Steppenwolf<\/a> and how they get where they\u2019re going.  In the first movie, it felt like they teleported around and magically knew information.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n
