Makes perfect sense here though. That's Snyder's big issue. Cool shots without a rhyme or reason.

The Wonder woman reports were false rumours the director herself stated.

Yes, let's take the word of an actor parroting the studio's PR line over actual inside sources and information.
The quote in the OP says the exact opposite of this in terms of what Whedon is getting.
Sounds like it'll have witty banter between ridiculous fights
They're not normal. The article points out that WB are using more money and more time than usual. And the Suicide Squad reshoots were evidence that the film had deep-seated problems, despite Ayer's bluster.

I burst out laughing at having to digitally remove a mustache. That's as insane to me as using CGI to open Wesley Snipes eyes during a scene for Blade Trinity.

So is this people exaggerating the normal or is this actually some meaty reshoots?

I'm disappointed Synder couldn't finish this. Even if it led to another trash heap I'd rather have his completed vision than a compromised movie. Course it's easy to say that when I'm not really invested in DC and my money isn't involved. =P
I HOPE THEY HAVE A GAG REEL FOR THIS ON THE BLURAY

I'm not sure a lot of people are actually comprehending what this article is about. I don't understand how one would think this is evidence that the movie is a mess based on this article.

Just... do bearded Superman. Unless they're flashbacks?
Keep the mustache, grow the beard.

I think Josh Whedon is pretty good at determining what a film needs for a coherent plot. Even in the bloated Age of Ultron, most if not all scenes served a purpose in it's narrative, even Thor's not well executed subplot (which led to him aiding the creation of Vision). If Whedon has a clear vision of what this story needs to not be a mess, I think it can turn out fine or even better than it was going to be initially.
If anything I think these reshoots are a good thing. It's just talking about how it's problematic to schedule them all.

From what I've been hearing from my friends in the movie business is that basically anything that isn't an effects heavy action scene is being replaced and the scenes that aren't getting replaced are getting punched up. I hope this ends up with a better film and films afterwards. I have a lot of faith in the people working on this but I'm concerned.

You don't get to bring friends.
Not too insane when you work in the industry
There are tons of invisible effects that no one ever picks up on

Because it's an expensive movie and there's scheduling conflicts.
As for Suicide Squad, that reasoning is pretty bullshit, especially when it's generally accepted that there are two fairly different versions of the film out there. The final version and whatever Ayer put together. The reshoots didn't do the film any favors and just reframed the film to match the up beat tone of the trailers rather than the likely darker version that was originally planned.

He didn't finish shooting the movie because his daughter died.
I mean, they schedule re-shoots for every movie. However, with Zack's situation that pushed everything back a month or more which kinda fucked up the actor's schedules since they already had plans to do other movies. It's taking longer because they have to wait for them to become available to fly back to London or LA. I'm sure Joss also added a few more things beyond what Zack wanted, but this isn't some doom and gloom scenario. It's just common sense about the logistics of how movies are made and the unfortunate scenario which caused it.

I was actually thinking about this earlier today. We don't know Cyborg, Aquaman, or Flash. Like literally their story has never been told to a large audience before. It's not like Batman or Superman where you can handwave it as something we all know. But even still, Batman V Superman spent a good amount of time introducing this Batman. And we got our Wonder Woman solo movie. Introducing 3 new leads, plus having them all team up, while also having good conflict build up is gonna be tough. I'm not the least bit surprised they're trying to get more character moments in, that's what'll make this movie sink or swim.

Cavill got his hair back?
Age of Ultron is better than any movie Zack Snyder has directed except 300.

In this case I don't think it's such a big deal as I don't think Snyder was completely done when he left.
I hope the reshoots are because they found a way to give Jared Leto a prominent role. He should be louder, angrier, and have access to a time machine. And if he can't be inserted into every scene, when he's not on screen the Justice League members should be asking, "Where's The Joker?"

I can only view extensive reshoots as a good thing as someone who hated BvS and dislikes most of Snyder's output.
Make it good Whedon. Or... try?

As the article says the action set pieces aren't being reshot. I bet that the line The Flash has in the new trailer about "pushing people" is from Whedon's reshoots.
I think WB have inevitably bowed to the 'grim, dark' criticisms of BvS and are making changes. Besides, if this is as radical a reshoot as Rogue One, which I'm having trouble imagining, then given the modern practice of studio filmmaking, even with Han Solo, this is pretty routine stuff.

Because:
1. All Snyder's movies are a mess
2. $25M is a lot for reshoots
3. Suicide Squad was a mess
Wonder Woman's success lives in a vacuum. Unless Patty Jenkins directs another DC hero, there's no chance of seeing that acclaim bleed over.
Those changes saved Rogue One.
I mean they likely ruined Sol's character, but holy shit was that terrible hammy acting perfect for Star Wars.

Crashing this plane... with no survivors!
Some of the non-film parts in the RO trailers were random shots that Edwards thought looked cool, such as Jyn in the tunnel of lights.
I would say any effect the reshoots had on Rogue One were minimal at best. (Tales from my ass, not knowing what was cut.) But I have a feeling a lot of it was in the first half, as that movie is disjointed as fuck until the final third act.
There are a lot of directors that could make a film as good or better than WW. Wtf?
The problem was Snyder, he was the one who put this characterless grim dark mess in motion, but hopefully he's done with DC after JL as rumored.

They were already planning the change from "grim dark" to a lighter tone. Zach and Terrio are on record saying that JL would be lighter before BvS even came out and got the reception it did.
