I've been avoiding OT since before the release and I've almost forgotten what it was like. Nope still a cesspool.

This. I wonder if that rumor of WB ordering more Batman was the culprit of the theatrical cut.
I wonder if WB will force the promotion of this cut too, in like not distributing the original cut for tv airing, like they do currently with Superman II.

Hodor.
Remember how people complained Superman just stood there and saved no one after the bomb went off
There's a scene of Superman helping out the injured after the bombing.
As if more evidence was needed that the theatrical cut was basically a "Just fuck my shit up fam" edit

Haven't even read the OT topic at all... Stop going there! It is always going to be toxic to this movie. That trailer was sick though. I'm very curious as to what Superman did in Africa though.
I'm definitely going to watch this on the 28th, no way I'm waiting for the blu ray.

In a sense it appears that way. Not merely giving Clark extra time and motivation, but his interviews add to how brutal and villainous Batman is. Makes Superman look worse while making Bats look better.
Can't believe I'm actually going to double dip on this with the digital and bluray versions. I want to see this ASAP.
Yeah I don't think this will change the minds of people on gaf. Those that simply liked the film or thought the editting was an issue could have their opinions improved with this. Nothing will change those that claim to hate the film though. I'm still of the opinion they are a minority with the majority being okay with or simply liked the movie or likes more of it than they disliked. With another minority loving it. The chatter from leaving the theaters, from everyday people were not ones of hate or disgust. The Internet has warpped with the actual reception of this film really was.

Looks like there are missiles and shit going off in Africa. It makes a lot more sense why his visit there was such a big deal. Cant wait for this
Yeah, at this point I think the rumour that WB suits wanted more Batman is definitely true and was one of the main impetus' for editing the movie down.
hahahahaha just fuck my shit up fam is my new favorite term.
I don't know if I buy that if his attack on LexCorp was cut out as well. Just the brief snippet of that in this trailer was hype inducing so not including it seems like an odd choice to make if the motivation was more Batman.
What if I'm in the middle and neutral?
I don't know. Seems rather obvious to me. Hell, in the YouTube comments is a guy who said he refuses to watch anymore of this movie. In the comment section of a movie he hated he posted to tell people that he's not going to watch.
Well no shit
If you think Lex Luthor sucked or are triggered by "Martha", your opinion won't be changed or whatever. Same for those "MUH SUPERMAN" people out there.
But I think if you're someone who was apprehensive because the movie was edited and paced like shit and was lacking in character development, then this should be in an improvemnt.
the comments on youtube are garbage
Well it's in the OT thread too lol. If nothing was going to sway you then why bother investing the time? Makes zero sense to me.
Hey, I'm with you man.
I think this is a realistic expectation and it will probably do just that. Those that are on the fence, maybe it'll help for them. Those that loved it before will love it more, those that hated it will still hate it.
I guess they had to cut this to just have one shirtless male in the movie.
They have that scene in the movie, he's making breakfast/eggs.
Yeah, that's what should be expected. If your problems with the movie are that Clark is too serious, that Bruce is killing, that Lex is too goofy, or that it's too dark, I fail to see how more of that will change your opinions on the movie. The most one can hope for with a different cut is that it smooths out the story so that details that were once obfuscated become
clearer.
That way, at least we get more people hating the movie for what it is rather than for what it isn't. Haha.
The ultimate cut trailer was dope. The added scenes appear to add a lot more depth. I've thoroughly enjoyed everyone's performances; so to have more character-driven moments is a huge plus for me. The added action is an awesome bonus too.
Das Boot
Kingdom of Heaven
Blade Runner
Close Encounters of the third kind
All of the above films were mediocre to me; but the subsequent directors cuts were awesome and made me regard them much higher.

Any movie I ever actually hated never got an extended cut. Very small list. I'm pretty easy going about movies.
The only recent movie I've watched where I flat out said "this was garbage" immediately after watching was Goosebumps.
the comments on youtube are garbage
Youtube = OT confirmed

Still an impressive like/dislike ratio, because the internet hates the movie.
you should never trust those. those are getting abused to hell and back.
I've never done a turn like that, but my opinions have gone from, say, 'neutral to pretty good' or 'bad to interesting'.
Of movies that I've seen recently, Sucker Punch benefitted some from a new cut and The Grandmaster benefitted greatly. In the case of The Grandmaster, Wong Kar Wai had to cut 20 minutes from his original version that premiered in Hong Kong. Those 20 minutes make the film feel completely different and takes a good movie and makes it greater.

Heh, what was it?
Yep. That single scene at the end with Jon Hamm puts the whole movie in the proper perspective and it got cut. It's baffling because the movie needs it. But, I heard it was cut because that scene pushed the rating to NC-17. I don't know if it's true and I doubt it. However, the movie got ripped to shreds from conservative critics calling it everything from crass to exploitative and beyond. It made whole swaths of people very uncomfortable so I can imagine a scenario where the people in charge of the ratings overreacted too.
The movie version had him just fly up and out of the middle of the building right?
The entire movie was fucked with behind the scenes.
Deb Snyder recently said about it that it was originally meant to be a hard R with less fantasy elements, but WB greenlit it with a promise for PG-13 and more fantasy action.
Snyder shot it for PG-13 but still got an R (lol), leading to WB to edit it down further for the theatrical release. This is after they had already cut the movie down after test screenings because of audience confusion, and removed the films original ending (a musical sequence), more of the musical elements, etc.
With Watchmen getting a 4K release, I wonder if Snyder will be able to release his original cut of the film out now, since he said he had worked on getting it completed.

That trailer is so well cut.
Jesus it's already better than BVS theatrical cut.

This. What he did immediately following the explosion was never shown or spoke of. Just that he hadn't been seen since.
and when he returned is the scene Snyder mentioned where he is looking for his mother.
Hope that's in there as well.
Yea apparently he comes back from his soul searching or whatever and can't find Martha anywhere.

That trailer was....a lot less 'dark'? Dunno, saw it once but that was what got my attention. No sound though.
Don't let the trailer tone fool you. The movie's tone will remain the same.

Sure, not expecting it. But even compared to other trailers, a lot more day light scenes I guess?
Also, the UC won't change shit. Can't wait though, right up my alley.
Honestly, more fleshed out, better editing and this thing might be my top 10 favorite CBM of all time.

Is this gonna be available to rent/stream on the 29th too? I don't really buy anything anymore.

My reaching ass is still thinking Jena Malone is Babs and she is in a wig doing some undercover work because that hair looks dodgy. She got da glasses, she got da 'terrible things happen and I'm adjusted to it' attitude, she...sort of looks like she might be sitting.
#Confirmed.
Saw some potential Supergirl rumors too which would be wild since it is implied from a tie-in comic and a hint in the movie with an open pod shown that Kara does exist, which would be cool although highly unlikely.
