Just finished. As I previously stated, this version is miles better. The core aspect of what’s going on is the same but the amount of unseen footage is insane. Everything gets a chance to breath and build. The set pieces are far more tense and the characters have more heft in what they do and say. This is easily the best DC film Snyder has made and to me honest, even tho the ending felt a little shoehorned, I want more. Let him finish his vision. HBO Mac is the perfect platform to give him an outlet.
One thing I will say is, despite being heat and shoulders a better movie than the theatrical cut, no fucking way on God’s green earth would and should this version have gotten a theatrical release. That’s really the only detriment. Snyder pulled off a miracle in completing an actual good movie, but no way would he have pulled it off with a 2.5 hour run time. Honestly he might not have pulled it off in 3 unless he cut a ton of scenes.
But I digress. Good for him for getting to finish his movie.
