    Oh, to me both were bad and, generally speaking, I’ve been overdosing on superhero movies, it just never stops and each one is even more slopish than the last. I just remember the director’s cut of this one leaving me even more apathetic than the theatre cut, when we were promised that it would make more sense, be more interesting, etc. It was not. The superhero slop has to stop.

      If you aren’t having a good time either way, the theatrical’s 90 minute running time is a huge advantage. But then you should probably just walk away, rather than try again with a 4 hour cut. I enjoyed Snyder’s version well enough once, but I’ll likely never rewatch it just because of the time investment required.

        Oh no, I’d die before I pay to watch an american movie. I just need background noise when I’m working on my computer. A movie is good when it actually grabs my attention away from what I’m doing. Both versions did not.

          Glad to hear it, the less money being sent to that country the better. The only money I’ve given to any film or TV for the past year or more has been to CBC Gem and BritBox.

          I imagine most movies would suck if I watched them the way you do, though. Podcasts or talking head YouTubers are my preference for choring background.
