Comments

After years of development and millions spent on re-shoots, the Justice League's new version--dubbed by fans as "The Snyder Cut"--has finally arrived for everyone to watch.

You can stream the DC superhero film right now through HBO Max. It went live on the service at midnight PT, so it's been available for a number of hours already.

The Snyder Cut is Snyder's fulfillment of his vision for 2017's Justice League. He originally left the project before it was completed due to a family tragedy, with Avengers director Joss Whedon coming in to finish the movie. Warner Bros. is said to have spent $70 million on the re-shoots.

The result is a 4 hour, 2 minute movie that carries an R rating (up from PG-13 for the original release). The movie also features two new villains, Jared Leto coming back as The Joker, and an updated score.

Snyder did not receive payment for his work on the Snyder Cut. "I'm not getting paid… I didn't want to be beholden to anyone, and it allowed me to keep my negotiation powers," he said.

GameSpot's Snyder Cut review scored the movie a 3/10.

"The four hour long re-cut of the 2018 box office bomb, complete with extra scenes and re-shoots will land on HBO Max on March 18 and--well, if you've ever been brave enough to ask the question 'is it possible for a superhero movie to feel like watching paint dry?' This one's for you," reviewer Mason Downey wrote.
