If you saw the version shown in theaters and hated it, you should at least give this one a go, it may change your opinion and it may not. Like the ultimate edition of Dawn of Justice, this is essentially the Ultimate Edition of Justice League. Character stories were expanded upon, major scenes and plot points were restored. My opinion, it outperforms the one released by Whedon in every way. In closing, WB needs to publicly apologize to both Zack Snyder and Ray Fisher, give Zack back the reigns and give Ray his movie, then they need to leave Zack alone, give him some time and then let him work his genius. Thank you Mr. Snyder!
