So much hate on this board. Snyder League is a masterpiece.

I'll never understand why it's so "cool" to hate on Snyder and his cut of Justice League. There are a lot of things I don't like in the Whedon cut, but I gave it points for Danny Elfman's score, enough to rate it a fair 3/5, which is my "not quite there" rating.

Snyder, on the other hand, has created a four-hour masterpiece of superhero cinema. It can stand comfortably with The Dark Knight trilogy, Batman 1989, Batman Returns, Superman 1978, Logan, The Winter Soldier, Infinity War, and Endgame as one of the greatest superhero films ever made. It's so good, in fact, that I'm rewatching it now that my TV appears to be properly calibrated. (I had issues with color temperature/white balance and oversaturated colors such as red and hot pink.) And I'll watch it a third time as "Justice is Gray."

I agree that this is a masterpiece and one of the best comic book films ever made. I actually enjoyed the Whedon cut, but on every level, Snyder's film is superior. It's epic, thrilling, emotional and it's the fastest and most engrossing 4 hours I've ever sat through. The final battle in Russia went from being an okay setpeice in the Whedon version to one of my all-time favorite comic book action sequences in Snyder's version.

I saw this film in the comfort of my own home by myself and literally jumped and cheered at the "Not impressed" scene and, even after multiple viewings, I get goosebumps when Flash uses the speed force to prevent the unity from taking place. Deserving of a lot more mention and praise is Tom Holkenborg's score, which is one of the best ever composed for the genre. I actually thought his use of the Man of Steel theme was even better than Hans Zimmer.

Whedon's version was an embarrassment, after the impressive Batman v Superman.
Snyder's cut is better in every way, if you don't mind 4 hour movies.
