That said, I think Sonny Bunch is right: It was a big missed opportunity. What also helped is the fact that I am a Marvel guy and think that, with the exception of Batman - the most Marvel character in the DC universe - most DC characters stink (particularly Superman). The best thing it had going for it were all of the terrible reviews, which helped lower my expectations. Due to the darker tone and increased violence, this version is better suited for older fans.I saw Justice League last night. There's one graphic sexual reference, when a character describes a "reach around" when provoking another. She also defends her family and friends back at home when they're referred to as "puny." The language here is stronger than in the original film, with "f-k" said fully - including by Batman (Ben Affleck) - rather than bleeped out like before.
Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) remains a strong role model, emphasized when she stops a huge terrorist attack and gives advice to the children she saves. There's also a sinister villain in the form of Steppenwolf (voiced by Ciarán Hinds), who could prove too scary for younger viewers. Kids are threatened at gunpoint, innocent civilians are killed mercilessly, and there are corpses, skulls, burning bodies, and bloodshed. There are countless battle sequences and explosions, with far more gore. The violence is ramped up and heightened, with far more death and destruction. The film does celebrate teamwork and great courage, not only among the superheroes, but also regular people, who put their lives on the line to save others.
Unlike the theatrical release, Snyder's edit is slower and more character driven, with greater focus on the severity of the challenge that the band of superheroes faces. Parents need to know that Zack Snyder's Justice League is a darker, more somber cut than the original 2017 film, with more (gory) violence and stronger language.
