In terms of enjoyment you can argue this was on 2012 avengers level for DC first team up film, but Zach snyder’s cut has so much content to offer with 4 hours it’s already abnormal to compare
is there any reason to view the theatrical cut out of anything other besides curiosity?

no
Hard to say. I’m only like 11 minutes in.
Edit: I will say tho I’m baffled by the negativity towards that scene with the villagers singing watching it again. I was like maybe I wasn’t paying as close attention the first time to notice but people act like it’s like 10 minutes long. It’s really less then 2 minutes.
i love that scene. it makes sense and its gorgeous. You have a demi god giving you every year food when you need it most. Of course some gonna sing for him. Plus its like two minutes in a four hours movie.
Some people really lost their sense of wonder...
Junkie XL met Whedon once to talk about the score
Holkenborg says he had just one meeting with the director. "We did not necessarily have a great click," he says. "I mean, I wasn't sitting there being thrilled to talk to him, because he was quite negative on the cut that was existing and what we worked on together. He was negative about the music that was in there at that point. He was negative about a lot of things in it. And I was like, 'Hey, you're talking about my friend here.' So I wasn't really inclined to take that further. I spoke to Zack that night and said, 'I'm leaning towards not doing it.' But then the next morning, I got a phone call that Whedon was going to work with Danny Elfman."

So he thought it was a good idea to cut one of the greatest displays of super powers I’ve ever seen on screen so the flash could push a truck filled with people living in a toxic wasteland. Okay Whedon you f***ing hack
star wars was the first of it's kind. it only makes sense that their would be a million rewrites and production problems. Discrediting Lucas just because you don't care for his prequels and special editions is lame.
Lucas was carried

It’s actually been getting worse since the Ann Sarnoff interview, and that’s because there’s a rift within WarnerMedia itself.
There are people inside the company who are supportive of Zack’s vision for the Snyderverse and would love to see it continue.
I don’t think you’d be surprised to hear that these people are mostly involved with HBO Max

Who is this person?
I know this may have not worked and nostalgia bait isn’t really Snyder’s MO and I love Junkie XL’s score for this film but I really don’t think it was an entirely bad decision by Elfman to have some of his Batman theme and some of Williams Superman theme in the film. If just little hints of both remained in this I wouldn’t have minded just the subtle callbacks. I think they could give it an added weight that this is the one, like everything has led up to it.
New TV arrived
Just need my sound bar to come in tomorrow, then I'mma start my DCU rewatch leading up to ZSJL cut
i can't see WB not giving zack another shot at a DC movie after this they finally have found a winning formula something they have been desperate for after chasing the coat tails of the MCU for over a decade.
Honestly I really want Snyder to go back to adapting lesser known comics. Like I just thinking about how something like Ed Brubaker’s Kill or Be Killed would be a perfect way for him to make something on a smaller scale and get on the good graces of big studios again. Plus it’d just be nice to see him take on a film that wouldn’t fall under the blockbuster category.
Jesus Christ what a f***ing hack Whedon is
this has been known about him since prior to The Avengers and idk why so many people still glorify him as being some nerd god
I'm excited for Justice Is Grey. When does it drop?
