Zack Snyder's Justice League 2021

Although I did enjoy the whole 4 hours ( with breaks of course ) and with respect to Snyder's vision of color reproduction and decision to go for the 1.33:1 aspect ratio " adding more visual content " .. I found it stupid because the whole world watched it on TV with black bars or cropped to fit the full screen and thus having little content invisible. I went for the cropped in an attempt to enjoy the full screen experience for an hour or so, then switched to the intended 1.33:1 aspect and swallowed my pride for the remaining duration of the movie.

I enjoy cliff hangers a lot... They leave something to the mind to wonder about rather than brining the story to an end.

Additional characters reveal was a plus especially one specific beloved member of the league... Which got me excited and looking forward to future installments of the movie.

I don't usually have a lot to say about films I enjoyed.... So that's that.

@typongtv and who are you to speak for the “whole world”? As if most people would remember to even change the aspect ratio

@typongtv "future installments" - unfortunately, they will never come. While I do appreciate getting a glimpse at what Snyder was planning for future movies, I do think adding an extra epilogue that wasn't originally part of the movie and adds a cliffhanger when he knew there was next to no chance of that cliffhanger having any payoff was a bad move. Not only did it cost them a lot more to bring those actors back in to film those scenes (making it a lot harder to consider this project a success financially), it leaves the story unfinished. If he had simply left it at the original ending, it would have felt like a decent ending to his trilogy, and it may have been more successful overall for the studio.
