# Zack Snyder's Justice League (2021)

Proof that the Speed Force is real, because The Flash steals each of his scenes before you even know what happened.

I find the idea that superheroes are the shared myths of our new age to be a bit underbaked, but this movie is the first superhero film to do justice to that idea. Rather than follow the Marvel cookie cutter approach of wisecracking heroes who seem to know they are in a movie with inconsequential stakes, the heroes of the Justice League are ponderous and much larger than life. They are removed from our reality not because they can’t take it seriously, but perhaps because they take it SO seriously.

I’ve never seen a superhero movie like this and I liked that. It probably didn’t need to be four+ hours long, but then again that just makes it stand out more. I don’t want more of this, wish a number of scenes were cut, and really found the epilogues needless… but I kind of enjoyed the rest of it?
