movie review - Zack Snyder's Justice League

the journal of Michael Werneburg

twenty-seven years and one million words

This movie is four hours long. Four. It centers around the by-now tired trope of a leader trying to bring together a team of heroes to fight off an invading horde of aliens. It featured the home civilization of Wonder Woman being effectively destroyed, so I'm not sure what that will mean for any future Wonder Woman movies, which will follow as surely as night follows day. But; I don't care at all. Having sat through another endless superhero moving in "Avengers End-game" a few years back (also because the kids seem to love them) I have learned to not get invested or to think about it at all. I mean in one of the extended (or perhaps inserted - this might have been a director's cut) it was Batman etc fighting Superman in the future, and for some reason Batman had brought The Joker to tote a machine gun.

I was just glad when it was over. We had to watch it on consecutive days. I don't know who Zack Snyder is, or why his name is in the name of the movie for Christ's sake, but I hope I don't have to sit through these any more.

Avoid.
