Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Whatever reservations you may or may not have about Snyder and his cult like fanbase, there's no ignoring that the his cut of Justice League, even if you shortened it for a more palatable runtime, is a completely different movie from the theatrical cut we got in 2017.

I would actually say it’s a really good time if you watch it in halves. It feels a lot more classic and uplifting compared to MOS and BvS

I've watched maybe 4 times. Out of those, only once did I sit through it in its entirety.

Every other time I've taken a breather at the halfway point or when the first disc ends (which is slightly past halfway).

It is better, but I think calling it a directors cut is a stretch. He basically got to re-film pretty significant chunks of the movie and try and directly address criticism of the initial release (of which not all issues were with Whedon).

Aren't the only new additions are the scenes in the epilogue? I wouldn't say these contributed to "pretty significant chunks" of the movie.

I've never read they were exclusive to then.

The only new scene was the Knightmare sequence with The Joker. Everything else was already filmed.

Whatever money was spent on the movie was pretty much only spent on finishing the unfinished stuff.

I’m sorry, but it isn’t a completely different movie.

It’s simply longer, and looks worse. There is no good version of Justice League, unfortunately.

I have to disagree with this take.

I've seen both. While ZSJL is longer and has more scenes. In my opinion it doesn't change or improve the story. It's just the same story, but longer.

You can have the same plot while having a completely different movie.
