For years, fans called on DC and Warner Bros. to #ReleasetheSnyderCut after the poor reception of the original 2017 release that was completed by Joss Whedon, and on March 18, 2021, the studio answered the call with a $70 million dollar HBOMax release of Zack Snyder’s Justice League. In this episode of The Cinematic Schematic, we assemble a group of panelists including Geek Girl Features’ Chelsea Ratterman, The Cinematropolis’s Daniel Bokemper, and DC aficionado, Bobby Griffith, to review the long-rumored and fan demanded director’s cut.

We’ll kick the conversation off by getting perspective on how each member of the panel has felt about the Snyder films previous to 2017 before giving our verdicts on this new release. We’ll close out the discussion by diving into what to make of the film’s final chapters and what we’d like to see next in the increasingly unclear future of the DCEU.

Does Snyder’s vision justify years of hype, a four-hour runtime, and the hefty price tag? Listen in to get the final verdict from the panel.

According to IMDB, Zack Snyder’s Justice League is described as:

Determined to ensure Superman’s ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne aligns forces with Diana Prince with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions.
