Superman Returns (2006)
Underrated movie
This movie is very underrated, The movie is hopeful, It was the first Superman movie I've watched as a kid in 90s and I can still say it was beautiful. The story is weak but still manages to be hopeful.
Leera the Soulmate (2018)
Masterpiece
Thanks Siaman says for recommending this masterpiece.
Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)
From someone who loved Justice League Animated Cartoons..
To be honest, I didn't even know what to expect, I hated the theatrical 2017 version of this movie. I am NOT a hardcore DC fan but as a kid who grew up watching each episode of "Justice League Unlimited" on Cartoon Network (which I still think is the best cartoon series to date). Supes and Bats are my favorite heroes, JL cartoon had a big influence on my childhood.
The movie begins with the ending scene of BvS, emphasizing Lex Luthor's line "The bells are already been rung, and they've heard it. Out in the dark, among the stars, the God is dead."
With Superman's scream being the bell that awakes the mother box (these boxes have spirits and they are alive.) Batman after comprehending Lex's word springs to build the team, each member of the league gets a proper character development.
Things I Loved: I admired the Cinematography, in-spite of being a director, Zack Snyder had an innate talent for photography, each scene is beautiful with Snyder's signature style of numerous slow-mo shots and dark color palette. If taken screenshots, each frame can be an exquisite wallpaper. The fight scenes are well-choreographed, I saw them with my friends, and we tasted literal goosebumps at action sequences. Every choice the team takes is making sense here, the decisions were logical and teamwork is manifested, each scene is linked to the upcoming scenes. The stuff that felt random in the theatrical cut, makes absolute sense here. (Why in the world, Joss Whedon removed those scenes.) The CGI looks better, especially relieved by the fact that there's no CGI mustache on Superman. The character development was done right, Cyborg and Flash steal the show, they felt like the main stars of this Snyder cut.
Things I didn't like:
It's an awesome movie, but it has many problems, there are some pacing issues, JunkieXL's musical score was good at some point, as well as it feels uncanny at some. But in the budget they have, I don't think they could've hired Hans Zimmer for music ( He worked on BvS and MoS musical score), The movie feels slow at some point and the optional scenes are not excluded due to no restrictions of runtime.
I was disappointed by the fact that there were no reshoots from characters like Henry Cavill (Superman), the movie is made from all the footage Zack caught in the year 2016-2017. He made this movie amidst the pandemic with editing and stuffs, in fact, I noticed the scene where Superman was mourning Lois's death with Darkseid standing right behind him is the same scene taken from "Man of Steel" (2013) movie.
As for the story, it's unfinished, we're left with a cliffhanger, I loved the injustice nightmare scenes and Cyborg's visions, We're left to imagine Lois died with a child in her womb, Darkseid found the anti-life equation, and using anti-life he manipulated Superman and hence the story of injustice timeline, Joker lines adds up to that fact that they tried time travel with Flash but Bruce failed so far. If the sequel is made, the story is potentially going to be epic. The movie is made for the existing DC fans, as for the general audience, they might not understand stuff like the spirits of the mother boxes, The anti-life equation, the speed force, the nightmare timeline or Uxas (young Darkseid), etc
Final verdict: This movie adds its name to one of the best superhero movies of all time, with limited resources and footage, we get what we deserve.
Score: 4.5/5
