His director's cuts generally add two or three points to the quality of his films, so given that these two movies were solid 2-3/10... I guess we're getting a couple of 5-6/10's instead?

Anyone I know that watched it says it's beyond woeful but it looks like a Friday nite loada beers kinda movie to me once the kids go off to bed, some incredible looking visuals in that trailer tbf, was there much new stuff or was it all the same shit but with overlaid CGI blood?

I've not watched either version. I've seen enough of Snyder's director's cuts to know that they don't add or improve enough for me to bother with. I'll certainly turn out for a well reviewed, well regarded Snyder movie, but I'm not wasting my time with poor movies that get somewhat better with another edit.

A lot of that trailer was new footage and there's apparently over an hour extra.
Will it make it better? Who knows.

Zack Snyder's Justice League was MILES better than the theatrical release of Josstice League ... Same basic story but told MUCH better. Cyborg's story arc was the GLUE that held it together and pushed it to be a much better story!
So much new footage in that trailer... I have to believe it'll be MUCH better than what we got earlier this year.

I watched an hour and 40 minutes and it's much better than the original cut. The pacing is better and there's more meat on its bones. Like the soldier dude and the robot actually do stuff now. It has more time to breathe and flow, instead of speedrunning the main quest.
The new intro is dope. They should make a TV show with Admiral Noble. Every week he fucks up a new planet. The guy is tremendously charismatic.

Hack Snyder's true vision is finally realized:
Apparently that's a real shot from the DC but I'm not watching this garbage again to confirm.

Reviews seem to very much indicate this is the same turd, but longer. It just breaks the surface of the water this time.

Almost through with the DC of the first part and.....it is much improved! The story is still hokey but the added bits with the robots, the extended into, it all flows much better. The added violence goes with his slo-mo visuals MUCH better, dudes taking a plasma bolt to the face is GLORIOUS! Naked chicks getting branded, right after all the NVIIM or whatever stuff...you got balls, Snyder, you got balls 
Main chick getting naked was pleasant surprise as well. I don't recall the tooth gathering guys from the PG-13 cut either and that was just wacky enough to really intrigue me.
So I'd put part 1 at least into the realm of "not a bad drunk weekend watch" category. There are cool ideas here, those scorpion chairs, lots of weird aliens, those hazy dreamy visuals, the philosopher robots...I'm actually looking forward to part 2 (never watched the pg-13 cut)!

All right, finished part 2. Now I didn't watch any of the PG-13 part 2 so I can't comment on differences, other than the obvious like the LENGTHY full nude sex scene (and wow, that lead lady is well put together) and the RIDICULOUS levels of gore when everyone starts throwing around plasma bolts that just SHREAD HEADS and totally gib folks under fire. The constant slo-mo is much better when the actors are running through fire hoses of blood, body parts, and blaster fire. Part 2 is basically just a big battle over that little village (how that tiny farm town suddenly became so critical to the Motherworld that they couldn't just blast it from space is a bit of a stretch
I'm guessing the prelude bits with each warrior were cut from the PG-13 version, but they added needed depth to everyone but Conan guy, who never really seemed to fit in this world. He tames a pegasus but then is relegated to hitting folks with axes, never taming a dragon or some other crazy thing to go fight spider tanks with. I did like the royal family stuff, though it's all saved for any future film. Not sure why they cast the main bad guy (Belisarus?) and then covered him with bad prosthetics, guess there (may) be a good reason eventually. Not as many wierd things since part 2 is mostly set on the farming planet, but the giant naked robot lady being used has a hyperdrive is a great 40K type dystopian sci-fi concept.

That plus the crazy gore.....kinda yeah. Hell, I would have loved MORE nudity, they cast a lot of hot women for that village. Zacks visuals really need that type of saucy gratuitous stuff, all his best films are rated R. The additional 'story' such as it was, helped a little, mostly just having strange and unexplained things and cool ideas. The funky ice and fire swords, how hard they are to hold, the diesel smoke belching machines, those anti-matter cannon manual of operations taken straight from a WW2 battleship, it's all good stuff. It's really just the main story that was kinda boring.Basically they added nudity and that was all you needed.
That's hard, it was a FUN watch, but not sure how repeatable it will be. The PG-13 part 1 was a 5/10 for me, but the DC is a solid 7.5/10, maybe even an 8/10 if you can binge it all at once and really get immersed in it, a bit of alcohol certainly helps. I wanna see more as any expansion of the conflict promises to be damned epic if he can keep that level of visual quality.

Adjusted for nudity bias, a 3/10
Heh heh, not quite as its really just 2 scenes (unlike something like Spartacus, Black Sails, Davinci's Demons, Obliterated, Strike Back or the like where it's main selling point). Probably more the violence, really, they REALLY lean into slo-mo human destruction and battle. Makes Saving Private Ryan seem like a nerf war.

I thought the original cut of Rebel Moon was horrific. It felt like many ideas with almost no development. The DC felt more fleshed out to me, and I enjoyed it. It isnt a masterpiece, but as a Zach Snyder fan I enjoyed both director cuts. Im not hopeful for more movies, but I would definitely watch them (the director cuts only).

Damn...those movie posters are GREAT!
I really enjoyed his Justice League cut so I'll give them a try.

I likes what I likes.I find your understanding of which shows have the best nudity disturbing.
Strike Back made it a POINT to have a sex scene every ep, I recall they would stick them in at all costs, even once DURING a firefight. I know a lot of the shows from that era were reactionary to OTA TV and trying to "out boob HBO" in terms of how explicit they could be, but damn, I liked it! Obliterated is probably the only recent show with that vibe, the "And now they die" roman chariot racing one as well. American purity and how its now coming from the left as well as the right really killed domestic shows for me, gotta get that eurotrash vibe back (or aussie/kiwi, they don't seem to mind it either)!
Hell, remember the days of Red Shoe Diaries, Hot Springs Hotel, comedies like Dream On, or Tales from the Crypt. Good clean wholesome adult fun!
I guess pornhub has kinda taken over, or at least the ease of putting up scenes online making rando starlets less likely to do it for some show only a few hundred thousand guys would ever watch instead of the entire internet, but I long for a simpler time
I think the #metoo stuff promoted an extreme overreaction, the pendulum will swing back eventually because there will ALWAYS be women that know their path to success is their pretty face, not for their acting prowess. We kicked them all out in favor of "body positivity" but I don't think that was sustainable.

This movie is awful, fell asleep to it twice in the first hour. Zack Snyder also is a terrible film maker, no sense of scale, everything feels filmed in a tiny bubble.
