I saw it Thursday. How someone could watch this move and decide to comission the Whedon Cut is beyond me. I guess that's one of the reasons the people in charge at WB when this decision was made are gone. It's not perfect. Some odd music choices, too much slow mo, and the epilogue dragged on too long. That said it was an enjoyable movie over all. I completely understand why Ray Fisher was so pissed off. Whedon basically cut him out of the movie. He took the biggest hit out of all the characters by far. Whedon, and I didn't realize this until someone pointed this out to me, has a habit of giving characters he doesn't know what to do with menial tasks in team up films. This was readily apparent with the Flash. He's integral to the Snyder Cut and he's inconsequential in the Whedon cut. Wonder Woman was Wonder Woman in this version of the movie. While Whedon was focused on zooming the camera on Gal's butt whenever possible, Snyder showed off what a bad ass Wonder Woman is. The Amazons also got hosed by Whedon. They were far more impressive in this cut. The character, IMO, that got screwed the worse outside of Cyborg was Steppenwolf. In the Snyder Cut you see why they need to bring Superman back to fight him because he's show to be far more dangerous and brutal of a fighter. Not only that he is a character. He has an arc. He has motivation. He isn't just babbling "Mother...." creepily at some metallic cubes for two hours. Finally, Whedon re-filmed so many scenes that were just plain better in the original cut and scenes that didn't even need to be change to fit the narrative he was attempting construct in his cut. Prime example is Clark and Lois at the Kent farm. Like why did they bring Cavill back to film a worse version of the same scene with a weird CGI mouth.
Side Note: The studio set a hard 2 hour limit for Whedon, so why did he waste so much time on that Russian family and cut so many plot necessary characters. He could have used that time on some of the Cyborg scenes he cut.
