It is a ZACK SNYDER movie! The man does not make good movies! We’ve seen his complete vision for the Man of Steel and Batman v Superman projects and everyone hated those movies! I can’t wait for it to come out, be garbage, and for everyone who was begging for the Snyder Cut to be released to realize that “oh, we really wasted our time asking for this”.
I liked Man of Steel, and I thought Watchmen was good, though I only saw the director's cut of that.
The four hour run time is a bit excessive (this isn't Lord of the Rings: The Extended Version), and Jared Leto seems a bit shoe-horned in (I don't think this is going to wind up redeeming him for his performance in Suicide Squad, though I realize that a lot of his performance in that movie was cut out), but I figure it's definitely going to feel more cohesive than the original release, and it's going to give us characters like Darkseid, Iris West, and
Martian Manhunter who were cut from the original.
I'm guessing that it won't be great, but it will at least be interesting to see how things changed between the initial plans for the film and the finished product. I feel like whether I prefer this or the original will depend on the tone - if it continues with the overly dark, Dark Knight Returns inspired tone of Batman v. Superman, then I won't be a fan, but by my understanding, they intended to correct that course even before Joss Whedon signed on.
