VERDICT – 4/5

 

 

PROS –
1) Batman & Wonder Woman jointly start recruiting superheroes for the Justice League while Darkseid’s henchman Steppenwolf is collecting all 3 “Mother Boxes”. After knowing the origin story of Cyborg they decided to bring Superman back to life with the help of a “Mother Box”.
2) Flash & Cyborg take center stage in this movie while Aquaman & Wonder Woman are in the backseat.
3) The extended Knightmare Sequence from Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) gives us more information about the abandoned Snyderverse. There are hints of Infinite Earths with characters like Robin, Joker, Harley Quinn, and a villainous Superman.
4) A superior version of the theatrical release. Snyder’s vision was clearly butchered by Joss Whedon on the editing table. Steppenwolf got a kickass armor and his character is well developed in this version.
5) The quintessential 7th member of the Justice League, Martian Manhunter, finally made his appearance.

 

 

CONS –
1) The 4:3 aspect ratio is not serving any purpose.

 

 

QUOTE –
Steppenwolf: For Darkseid.
Superman: Not impressed.
