Justice League came out in 2017 with high expectations from fans. It could have been the Avenger: Infinity War of DCEU. However, the reactions and comments from both critics and viewers were not as high as the hype. Some hardcore fans were very disappointed and even called it mediocre at best. When all hope seemed to be lost then 4 years later, in 2021, HBO Max surprised us with a different version of this movie – Zack Snyder’s Justice League. Instead of Justice League’s disappointing 6.1 scores, Zack Snyder‘s Justice League got a whopping 8.1 score on IMDb.
Needless to say, Zack Snyder’s vision for the film ultimately prevails in all the areas that matter the most. It fills almost every aspect that fans are looking for in a DCEU blockbuster adaptation.
