In 2017, critics and fans gave an overwhelming thumbs down to Joss Whedon's take on Justice League.
The film was supposed to be directed by Zack Snyder, but a family tragedy saw him and his producer wife step down before it was finished.
Now Snyder's vision for the film — a gritty, lengthy epic — has finally been brought to life following a fan-led campaign for its release.
Zack Snyder's Justice League will premiere in Australia on Binge at 6:00pm AEDT today, the same time as the rest of the world.
But a few critics have already sat through the 242 minutes of the film.
And opinions are split.
Some liked it:
- Richard Lawson for Vanity Fair
- Alex Abad-Santos for Vox
- Amon Warmann for Empire
- Owen Gleiberman for Variety
- Tom Jorgensen for IGN
And some hated it
- Darren Franich for Entertainment Weekly
- Maya Phillips for New York Times
- A A Dowd for the AV Club
- Pat Brown for Slant
- John DeFore for Hollywood Reporter
