Zack Snyder's Justice League has finally released – and if you're reading this, you're no doubt fascinated to watch it, whether you're part of the fanbase that campaigned to have the revised four-hour film released on HBO Max, or if you're just watching it so you can later complain about how long it is on social media. 

Either way, the wait is almost over – territories like the US, UK and Australia can all watch Zack Snyder's Justice League simultaneously on its release date of March 18, 2021. The new cut follows the same plot as 2017's theatrical release, which sees the alien warrior Steppenwolf coming to Earth in search of powerful items called Mother Boxes, while Batman and Wonder Woman attempt to form a team to stop the alien invasion and save Earth. Can they do it without Clark Kent, who died at the end of Batman v Superman?

We've seen the film at TechRadar, and it's a largely grim affair with around two mostly dull hours of exposition before the story actually kicks into gear. Still, it is a more tonally consistent film than the original cut, and it's a genuinely fascinating artifact that shows the differences editing and artistic sensibilities can make to a finished movie. That said, it's a shame the end result couldn't be more entertaining – even if you do get a much better final battle in this version. 

You can now watch Zack Snyder's Justice League on HBO Max in the US, Sky/Now TV in the UK and Binge/Foxtel in Australia. Here's when it dropped.
