The 2017 film Justice League had a famously rocky road to the big screen. Director Zack Snyder suffered a family tragedy and stepped away from the film in post-production, so the studio tapped Joss Whedon to take over. Whedon ordered extensive rewrites, reshoots and completely re-edited the film, which premiered to mixed reviews and polarized reactions.

Following an extended online campaign by Snyder's hardcore fanbase, the director has gone back and recreated his original vision of the film. The result is Zack Snyder's Justice League, a sprawling, four-hour-and-two-minute epic that's big and bold and certain to delight the very vocal fans who clamored for it. But what about everyone else?
