Zack
Snyder's
awaited
version
of
Justice
League
is
all
set
to
release
on
March
18,
2021,
on
HBO
Max
for
the
US
audience.
The
film
will
also
be
releasing
in
India
through
other
streaming
platforms
like
BookMyShow
Stream,
Google
Play,
Hungama
Play,
Tata
Sky,
and
YouTube.
While
the
world
is
waiting
for
the
four-hour-long
film
to
hit
the
screens,
critics
have
given
their
verdict
for
the
DCEU
release.
While
the
early
reviews
have
a
mixed
reaction,
critics
do
agree
that
the
film
feels
longer
than
expected.
Times
film
critic
Justin
Chang
said
he
finds
"fleeting
pleasures
and
unlikely
sources
of
fascination"
in
the
new
"maximalist"
cut,
but
said
that
the
added
material
apart
from
the
2017
release
"often
feels
less
than
vital."
He
added,
"Forced
to
choose
between
the
two,
the
Snyder
cut
is
probably
the
one
I
respect
more,
which
doesn't
mean
it's
the
one
I
prefer."
Maya
Phillips,
who
writes
for
the
New
York
Times
noted,
"The
(film's)
supersized
run
time
allows
the
narrative
room
to
stretch,
for
better
or
for
worse." John
DeFore
of
the
Hollywood
Reporter
says
that
the
Snyder
cut
remains
"unimproved"
and
"nonmembers
of
that
(Snyder)
cult
will
find
it
just
as
unenjoyable
as
the
original."
However,
the
film
was
praised
by
Mashable's
Angie
Han
who
said
that
the
film
is
"just
about
every
level,
a
vast
improvement
over
the
previous
edit" and
that
its
"four
hours
feel
far
better
spent
than
the
two
it
took
for
the
theatrical
cut."
She
added
that
the
film
represented
the
epic
tale
it
was
meant
to
be.
Variety's
Owen
Gleiberman
compared
Zack
Snyder's
Justice
League
along
with
other
beloved
superhero
films
and
said
it
belongs
among
the
"superhero
movies
that
have
achieved
a
genuine
sweeping
transcendence."

lucky

It’s
clear
@ZackSnyder
put
the
extra
work
in
to
include
everything,
as
if
this
were
the
end
but
I
hope
it’s
not
since
there
are
scenes
and
edits
which
don’t
fully
work
on
their
own
in
this
story,
some
existing
just
as
extra
nods
for
fans,
or
to
be
paid
off
later.

I
just
watched
Zack
Snyder's
Justice
League....Wow!
I
loved
this
film.
The
theme
of
family
was
prevalent
throughout.
A
strong
message
about
the
bond
between
parents
and
their
children.
It
connected
with
me
on
an
emotional
level.
#SnyderCut
The
#SnyderCut
is
everything
fans
have
hoped
for
(maybe
more).
It’s
true
though:
it’s
lighter
in
tone.
The
DC
team-up
blockbuster
we’ve
waited
for.
Still
has
heart
&
character
moments.
I
teared
up
multiple
times.
Oh,
Snyder
has
a
pair.

@snydercut
Twist
ending,
#ZackSnydersJusticeLeague
is
Snyder's
most
broadly
appealing
movie?
It's
R-rated
and
4-hour
long,
but
feels
(mostly)
PG
and
flies
by
like
it's
2
1/2
hours.
There's
going
to
be
more
than
just
Snyder
fans
wanting
to
