Got through the new Justice League in 4 sittings. It was nice to have this broken up into easily watchable chapters.

This is a big improvement from the original in terms of story, character development, and tone. There actually a coherent plot here and there is now time for much needed introductions, especially with Cyborg. Be careful what you wish for with Zack Snyder though. His vision is on full display here with constant dark tone telling an epic story but that also comes with negatives of constant slow motion and weak writing. The story and villain motivations are simple and reminded me how LOTR and Infinity War handled similar concept much better. There are also a number of odd story choices that left me shaking me head. This includes all the sequel baiting. He could have cut this down to 3 hours without all the unnecessary parts, especially the epilogue, thrown in.

Overall I was engaged and enjoyed the film. It felt like a more deserved treatment for the Justice League with proper character set up and a logical bringing together of the team for an epic world saving event. I think I gave the original a 5/10. The Snyder cut gets a 7/10.
