Official Justice League Movie

[Galactus]

Most of the positive reviews I've read are hardly glowing. The general consensus is it's better than the theatrical version and praise for Snyder being able to fully realise his "vision".

It was never going to be good under those circumstances but he as a creator is too far removed from Snyder to ever have it mesh even remotely well. Of course Snyder's style is very unique I'm not sure there is any director that could have done that even if they wanted to.

It's not really that bizarre. The DCEU was supposed to be a slam dunk, these are some of the biggest and most beloved characters in modern fiction yet Snyder's first attempt was largely met with mixed feelings from everyone and Batman v Superman, a movie generations had been waiting for was roundly hated. Something had to be do had to done. There is zero way Snyder's Justice League would have been received well.
