- 88RogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzRogerEbert.comMatt Zoller SeitzIt's so bombastic that it makes "Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice" seem modest.
- 80The GuardianPeter BradshawThe GuardianPeter BradshawSnyder’s film may be exhausting but it is engaging. Justice is served.
- 67ConsequenceClint WorthingtonConsequenceClint WorthingtonIt’s rough, messy, and overlong, but may well capture the well-intentioned spirit of what it’s trying to do better than the compromised version we got at release. It may even be something I revisit in the future — just maybe not all in one sitting.
- 60EmpireAmon WarmannEmpireAmon WarmannSnyder’s Justice League is an entertaining if overlong superhero flick in its own right. If this is the last DC film Snyder directs, it’s a satisfactory exit.
- 60SlashfilmChris EvangelistaSlashfilmChris EvangelistaIn fact, “very dumb and very enchanting” could sum up Zack Snyder’s Justice League as a whole. There was never a single moment where I bought the story Snyder was selling, but I did enjoy his attempt to create a superhero movie that rises above the din.
- 60ScreenCrushMatt SingerScreenCrushMatt SingerFor long stretches, Zack Snyder’s Justice League feels more like a rough assembly than a director’s cut. It appears to include every single shred of footage Snyder shot, no matter how superfluous to the story. It will absolutely delight the hardest of hardcore Snyder heads. I’m not sure how more casual viewers will react to a longer and bleaker version of the same movie they already saw and dislike.
- 50IndieWireEric KohnIndieWireEric KohnThe overall arc of this “Justice League” coheres throughout, providing occasional dashes of intrigue and inspired visual conceits, and sometimes it’s even fun. Re-centering the drama around ostracized actor Ray Fisher as Cyborg, and drawing out some of the ostentatious fight sequences to their breaking point, Zack Snyder’s Justice League displays genuine effort to make this impossible gamble click.
- 50The A.V. ClubA.A. DowdThe A.V. ClubA.A. DowdThe reality is that Justice League’s problems go beyond who was behind the camera. The villain is still generic and silly-looking. The plot is still assemble-the-team boilerplate, hinging on the hunt for glowing MacGuffins with a goofy name.
- 42Entertainment WeeklyDarren FranichEntertainment WeeklyDarren FranichYet even compared to the glacial Marvel-Netflix Dramas, Zack Snyder's Justice League is a chore. At the end of the rainbow, viewers are left with the promise that the actual cool things will happen next time. This cut is no worse than the theatrical edition, but it sure is longer. "So begins the end," Steppenwolf declares. When he says that, there is one hour left.
- 25Slant MagazinePat BrownSlant MagazinePat BrownThe film could be taken as an intentional travesty of the superhero genre, if only it weren’t so tortuously tedious.
