Zack Snyder's Justice League

After Superman gives his life to stop Doomsday, Bruce Wayne is convinced that the hero's sacrifice must not be wasted. With Diana Prince at his side, he sets out to build a team of metahumans capable of facing an even greater danger: the alien Steppenwolf and his army of Parademons, who are preparing to invade Earth. The recruits — Aquaman, Cyborg and the Flash — each carry their own burdens and must overcome them before the group can stand together as a league of heroes.

Zack Snyder's Justice League is the director's cut of the 2017 ensemble film, made for release on HBO Max in 2021. It runs 242 minutes, considerably longer than the theatrical version, and was made for a reported 70 million dollars. It is the tenth of fifteen films Snyder has directed and followed Justice League in that sequence; his next film was Army of the Dead. Chris Terrio wrote the screenplay, with Charles Roven and Deborah Snyder producing. Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Ray Fisher, Jason Momoa and Ezra Miller lead a credited cast of 123 and a crew of 451.

Audiences have received the film warmly: on IMDb it holds 8.6/10 from 59,000 votes, and on TMDB 8.1/10 from 11,134 votes. Critics were more measured, giving it 6.7/10 across 312 reviews — clearly positive, though well below the audience scores. That gap suggests a film that connects strongly with its core audience while drawing more tempered responses from reviewers.
