Zack Snyder’s Justice League Generating Extremely Positive Early Reactions and Reviews

Early social media reactions to Zack Snyder's Justice League signal a much improved film. Come check out the early reviews for yourself!

Polarizing. That is one way to describe the 2017 theatrical version of Justice League.

Hated by the majority of fans, the canon version of the gigantic DCEU film failed to satisfy critics and audiences. The movie had several head-scratching moments, leaving fans angry and confused. The movie seemed to not make much sense. As if someone tried to pick up broken pieces and glue them back together. Which was exactly what happened.

Due to a family tragedy, Zack Snyder had to exit the film. Joss Whedon picked up the pieces and ran with it. The movie was a failure in the eyes of most critics. It seemed like we would never see the movie Snyder had envisioned all along. Until HBO decided it was time.

Due to a massive campaign created by the fans, HBO Max will be releasing the Snyder’s cut of Justice League on March 18th, 2021. The social media embargo on reviews was lifted this weekend, revealing an overwhelming amount of positive reviews.

Clocking in at a run time of four hours, which worried fans and critics alike, seemed to help the movie tell the story it was always meant to tell. The inevitable comparisons between both cuts demonstrates that Snyder’s cut is indeed a much more cohesive and complete version of the movie.

Early Zack Snyder’s Justice League Social Media Reactions

In this version, Bruce Wayne seeks out the help of the most powerful meta-humans as Earth faces a crisis never-seen-before. This team of heroes, known as the Justice League, prepares for the biggest fight of their lives as Steppenwolf, DeSaad and Darkseid threaten the existence of mankind. Here are some of the first reactions from critics.

If you don't believe that #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague is a totally different movie by comparison to the theatrical version, you are wrong.

I would estimate maybe 25% of theatrical (the best parts) were shot by Zack. Maybe 12% of the Snyder Cut is stuff you might have seen before. pic.twitter.com/7ESlNHPIsL

This is the movie we should have been watching back in 2017. It's superheroes on an epic, mythological scale, and I want to see @ZackSnyder's #JusticeLeague sequel – in any form – ASAP. @Ray__Porter knocks it out the park as #Darkseid too. He's a BEAST. #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague

The entire cast is exceptional and their chemistry is straight 🔥. Superman is still the highlight by far, but not nearly enough of him and Flash really steals the show near the end. Batman, WW, Aquaman & Cyborg all get their moments to shine. ->#ZackSnydersJusticeLeague pic.twitter.com/0sp1DWfb7O

And I’ve actually watched it more than once, and spent an entire afternoon going back and forth between this new cut and the original to have a clearer understanding of what all changed… and it is significant, I think. Tonally, visually, musically, action-wise. It’s pretty wild pic.twitter.com/51bw4dscoq

#ZackSnydersJusticeLeague is a better movie then the theatrical version. Yes, it’s long. But, #TheFlash works better here and now I want to see more #Cyborg. I’m all for #restorethesynderverse. I think @ZackSnyder is a visionary! pic.twitter.com/gF2hroh5TP

I watched #ZackSnydersJusticeLeague last week. It made me wish there were a JL trilogy and a plan for the larger universe, where this Aquaman and this Wonder Woman sync up with the solo movies better, where Cyborg gets his due, etc. It’s long but also too short in that respect.

#TheSnyderCut is loaded with scenes people haven't seen & are going to love. It is such a better movie than the theatrical cut of #JusticeLeague. Night and day difference. Saying that have no idea how this version could have ever been released in theaters. Perfect for @hbomax. pic.twitter.com/Fnamv6GcKj

#ZackSnydersJusticeLeague does indeed exist, I seen it THREE TIMES now, & IT IS FREAKIN' AWESOME! I had an absolute blast watching each time & shocked at just how good it actually is and how well it plays! Action packed, it hits all the beats & that @Junkie_XL score is straight🔥 pic.twitter.com/UgFW1Le9kA

Here, however, it's earned through sincere beats of coming to understand one another, figuring out how to operate as a team and well conveying that they all had something to fight for. Was utterly fascinated watching the footage included in the 2017 cut become more powerful here. pic.twitter.com/p9IRy756MR

#ZackSnydersJusticeLeague makes you wish we got this film in 2017. The scale, tone, and pace, is unlike other superhero films, which provides a refreshing experience. Not perfect, but an epic swing worthy of the Justice League. pic.twitter.com/oT1cwaLjJP

Zack Snyder's Justice League: I enjoyed it thoroughly. It's both very different, and eerily similar, to the original film with almost all of the changes and additions improving the characters and story. Better motivations. Bigger stakes. It's bloated but superior & worth the wait pic.twitter.com/h7PRADzeJn

Yes, it's somehow true: Zack Snyder's Justice League turns Steppenwolf from a laughably thin/weird villain into easily one of the strongest superhero movies have seen.

Forget motivation, writing, and performance–I had a genuine emotional reaction. No, I can't believe it either. pic.twitter.com/1sFsrLJWBL
