With the release today of 'Zack Snyder's Justice League', it brings to an end a long-running campaign by very ardent supporters to see the movie made.
The total runtime of this endeavour? Four hours, or to be precise, 242 minutes. As you can probably imagine, not a lot of people have that amount of time to devote to watching a single movie. While the movie is also broken up into six parts, you're still talking four hours overall.
Of course, you may have that time to spend - but, if you read our review of 'Zack Snyder's Justice League', you'll know we're not exactly recommending it. That is, unless, you happen to be one of Zack Snyder's followers. In which case, good for you and enjoy this day.
So, if you have four hours to spare and you really want to watch a good movie, we've come up with a short list of movies you could watch in that same amount of time. After all, it's four hours long - so that's a lot of time to fill.
You could watch... 'Chicken Run' (85 minutes), 'Monsters. Inc' (92 minutes), and a good chunk of 'What We Do In The Shadows' (86 minutes) = 262 minutes
You could also watch... 'Spy' (117 minutes) and 'Some Like It Hot' (121 minutes) = 238 minutes
You could watch... 'A New Hope' (121 minutes) and 'The Empire Strikes Back' (124 minutes) = 245 minutes
You could even watch... 'The Incredibles' (115 minutes) and 'The Incredibles 2' (118 minutes) and maybe one of those animated shorts beforehand? = 233 minutes, without the animated shorts which are usually 4-5 minutes long
You could watch... 'Phone Booth' (81 minutes), 'Run Lola Run' (80 minutes) and 'Toy Story' (81 minutes) = 242 minutes, the exact runtime of 'Zack Snyder's Justice League'
How about watching... 'Before Sunset' (81 minutes) three times in a row? = 243 minutes, just one minute over the runtime of 'Zack Snyder's Justice League'
Oh, you want to watch a superhero movie? OK, how about how...
'Chronicle' (84 minutes), 'Lucy' (89 minutes)' and the 1979 Turkish adaptation of Superman, 'Süpermen Dönüyor' (69 minutes) = 240 minutes, with two minutes left over to process what you just watched.
'The Dark Knight' (152 minutes) and 'Superman IV: The Quest For Peace' (90 minutes) = 242 minutes, the precise runtime of this movie.
Long story short, there's a lot of movies that you can watch in the same time as 'Zack Snyder's Justice League', and probably half of the ones we picked aren't as overbearing or self-serious or feature Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds over a lot of CGI.
