Absolutely better than the first. Zach Snyder has a vision that never waivers. This is has to be the most spectacular I've ever seen. The back story of each super hero and the people around them really made this the most enjoyable movie I've seen. I had every emotion while watching this long movie. Do not be mistaken, this is a 4 hour movie, which starts where "Superman vs Batman" left off and the effect each character had upon Superman's death, the ripple effect. If you never saw the original Justice League, you should before watching Zach Snyders I interpretation. I liked the first one, but this has 'over the top' action, drama, humor, love, and an absolute MUST SEE! You will NOT be disappointed.
NOTE: shortly after writing and enjoying the input of other peoples view on this film - I was appalled to read the critic reviews. This was so much better than the first film and makes the original 2017 film look like a trailer to a regular action film. I like movies, not a comic fan, but do enjoy a good action film, but for the critics to slam because of the time duration, are truly NOT critics. Mind you, I'm not a young woman but mid-50's, that has no kids but married, providing a real review to everyday people that just want to unplug from reality for a little while. Maybe some critics should start remembering who actual watches the films.
