Review of Zack Snyder's Justice League

It was a fan service, period. Good on Snyder for doing it too, I can imagine what man had to go through these last few years. I enjoyed a lot of the extra back story, I treated the film like a short series, which I thought was the original idea. A lot of the original content was mildly interesting, but it felt like Amazing Spider-man 2, where there's a lot of story to tell, but it's never told. There's a lot of fans comparing this to the likes of Lord of the Rings, but even the extended filler content for middle-earth had character development and plot direction. You just don't get that in this film. There's A LOT of filler, for no reason. A lot of going somewhere, looking someplace, finding someone and action sequences that just made me yawn, or were totally cringe, and are great examples as to why certain scenes should be left on the cutting-room floor. As I mention, this film was a fan service, it was a 'take it as you will' movie that was almost finished, and still isn't. Which is why I give it the benefit of the doubt, it's not meant to be a theatrical release in the least, it's a 'what if' and for some that's satisfying, to others it can be a bit of a snooze fest. But, bravo regardless!
