Whedon on instructions from the suits of Warner cut the meat leaving only the bone of what became the theatrical release of Justice League. No wonder it was a disappointment. This movie has an emotional heart which Whedon and Warner never understand, but us fans do.
The Snyder Cut restores that meat and with the completion and enhancement of the special effects, creates a movie, though long, was worth the effort. This IS the movie, we were denied, but now, due to our efforts, we now have.
Critics just can't seem to understand Snyder's way of storytelling. They want a basic clear-cut movie that gets to the point. Us fans want to be in that world as long as we can and be immersed in it. Snyder's Cut does just that.
Just like Batman vrs Superman The Ultimate Edition, Snyder's Cut of Justice League are the TRUE stories, Snyder wanted to tell. If it didn't please the critics --- so what. What Snyder does is tell his story to please the fans. Isn't that what the art of movie-making is all about. Fans pay the bills. They create the blockbusters, not the critics.
This movie NEEDS to be on the BIG SCREEN. Indeed, it is epic storytelling. Here's hoping that Snyder's dream of five films will be realized. Unlike Star Wars 7, 8 and 9, this series of movies by Snyder have vision. They KNOW where they are going. It IS plotted out. Hopefully, we will see the rest of Snyder's vision.
