Can’t understand any hate for this movie. Of course there are some things that don’t make a whole lot of sense, like the fact that he could have bought guns from someone else. But I don’t care about any of that. It’s a story, and a good one at that. Things happen in movies. To me, nothing felt contrived or forced. And I don’t think he ever seemed like an expert. He clearly was on a mission, but he seemed new to it. Also, it’s not THAT hard to shoot someone from 10-15 feet away.

So, the internet succeeded in rebooting what was one of the worst, if not most highly anticipated, comic book movie letdowns of the young millenium (and there have been more than a few letdowns in this category). In an unprecedented move, a wave of backlash against the studio that brought us the original (WB) actually worked, and the fans were rewarded with the movie we were hoping for all along. Unfortunately, WB doesn't want to admit that their original vision was complete nonsense; it appealed to no one instead of appealing to everyone. THIS, the Snyder Cut, is how we wanted it, and now they know, after pouring tens of millions of dollars into the highly demanded reshoot, only to try (weakly) to sabotage its release with internal condemnation from the studio. Learn your lesson, WB, and all other studios who think looking at numbers on a chart is the correct way to channel a film's direction (looking at Disney's Star Wars trilogy, yuck). For highly anticipated films that revolve around hugely popular source material, it's advisable to craft a personal and memorable experience for those who already want to love the film, not turn it into some tongue-in-cheek affair meant to appeal to everyone at once. When you do that, you guarantee failure. If you do it correctly (Snyder cut), you will inevitably gain fans you never knew you could have had, while keeping the die hard fans at your side. Lesson learned?? Probably not... Hollywood egos are about as big as Darkseid's. Thank you, Zack Snyder! I'm a fan for life.
