Justice League Comes to Digital HD February 13th and Blu-ray/DVD March 13th
To say that the reaction to Zack Snyder's "Justice League" from critics and audiences was cold would be quite the understatement. After opening to scathing reviews that left the film with a 40% (5.3/10) on Rotten Tomatoes and a 45 on Metacritic, it went on to disappoint fans who had been waiting a long time to see all of these superheroes come together, resulting in a global intake that was far less than expected. The film did have a number of flaws, to say the least, but there were still a few that saw some good within the troubled production, noting some decent casting choices and special effects.
Today, Warner Bros. has announced the release dates for the upcoming home releases, declaring that it will first come to Digital HD on February 13th, followed by the Blu-ray/DVD release on March 13th.
