It was okay.
I don’t know how to process it. As I was watching i would slip into a comparison between the two versions rather than actually enjoying it as a movie. It was simply to soon to release what is effectively a retcon with the same actors.
If this was released as an 8 episode show once a week on Disney plus without the Wheedon version existing it would have been great for a streaming TV show. The problem is that this wastes some of the most iconic DC plot lines. They screwed Supermans death and rebirth in mediocre movies.
If this was the version was released in theatres I think it bombs worse than Wheedons due to length and seeming inaccessible. But that’s not really fair either as this wasn’t made to be put in theatres and wouldn’t have been the same show. Also the entire aqua man intro now was a waste because we already know him from the first Justice league so it’s a wierd intro for the character.
In the end this movie sits as a monument for how badly DC failed. The act of releasing a remake of a 3 year old movie that is building toward a sequel that will never exist paints a nice picture of their failure.
I did enjoy the 4 hrs watching it and to enjoy Snyder’s fight scenes.
