SPOILER REVIEW: Zack Snyder’s Justice League – A Genre Defining Masterpiece
Zack Snyder's Justice League is a monumental achievement in superhero-movie history. It's the Lord of The Rings of comicbook movies. Plain and simple, so grand in scale but yet very character driven.

Hops and Box Office Flops: ZACK SNYDER’S JUSTICE LEAGUE – Little Fish Stick and Big Tuna
Zack Snyder’s Justice League is a cinematic anomaly. When Snyder had to step away due to a family tragedy, Warner Bros. (WB) essentially hacked the material he left them to bits.

No, they are not bright, colorful, and filled with unnecessary jokes. But they took three of the most well-known superheroes in the world and broke them down so that they can be rebuilt to the moral standards and ideals that people commonly associate with Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. Yes, you are supposed to question Batmans actions in BvS, the fact that he seem to have dropped his moral code of…
