Some ambitions are too big for little minds. Greatness asks too much comment from short term thinking idiots with no vision. Many ties great work can and does get butchered due to outside influences. When it comes to big budget movies and video games, this is quite common. Zack Snyder actually managed to make his first superhero movie Watchmen (2009) to his heart's content (at least The Director's Cut/Ultimate Cut version) and it is still the greatest superhero movie ever made. I'd even go as far as to say that after everything has been tried and tired with the current superhero movies, at the end of line there will be Watchmen and at the time more people will realize the meaning of being truly ahead of time.

Superman II: The Richard Donner Cut

Superman II was basically what happened with Justice League but less worse. Man of Steel (2013) was a good movie but nowhere near a masterpiece like Watchmen (2009).Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016) had about half an hour worth very important footage cut out of the movie and the vision was made to a mess. Justice League was set up as a two part movie but we ended up with just one movie. All this happened thanks to Warner Bros. Now let's try a history lesson.

In 1977, it was decided to film both Superman (1978) and its sequel simultaneously, with principal photography beginning in March 1977 and ending in October 1978. Tensions arose between Richard Donner and the producers in which a decision was made to stop filming the sequel, of which 75 percent had already been completed, and finish the first film. Following the release of Superman in December 1978, Donner was controversially fired as director, and was replaced by Richard Lester. Several members of the cast and crew declined to return in the wake of Donner's firing. In order to be officially credited as the director, Lester re-shot most of the film with a new alternate opening and ending for which principal photography began in September 1979 and ended in March 1980.

Similarities does't end there. Comedy plays a big part too.

Critics of Lester's Superman II, including Donner, have stated that Lester's penchant for comedy undermined the integrity of the film, especially when compared to Donner's Superman. Examples of this trademark comedy are evident during scenes which feature Superman fighting the super-villains in Metropolis.

Here comes the worst part as a comment from the new director that took over the works of guy who knew what he was doing.:

To replace Mankiewicz, Superman co-screenwriters David and Leslie Newman were then brought back to re-tool the script constructing a new opening and a ending. The new script featured newly conceived scenes such as a new opening involving Superman thwarting the nuclear terrorists at the Eiffel Tower, Clark rescuing Lois at Niagara Falls, and a new ending in which Clark causes Lois to forget his secret identity through a hypnotic kiss. Furthermore, cinematographer Geoffrey Unsworth had died before the release of Superman. With Lester as director, he was not sympathetic to Donner's filmmaking style commenting "I think that Donner was emphasizing a kind of grandiose myth. There was a kind of David Lean-ish attempt in several sequences, and enormous scale. There was a type of epic quality which isn't in my nature, so my work really didn't embrace that...That's not me. That's his vision of it. I'm more quirky and I play around with slightly more unexpected silliness."

Well, isn't that exactly what we got with Jhosstice League? Here is a video I came across that describe what used to be the original vision from Zack Snyder:

Hopefully We Won't Have To Wait 26 Years

The internet can be used for both good and bad. the internet can give us fans a voice to ask for at least something resembling what was described in the above video. It's not your standard superhero formula or style. Not even everyone would love it. But that is exactly what it makes a piece of art and a creative endeavor instead of some assembly line filmmaking that looks a lot similar while almost never pushing boundaries.

An ambitious vision that is ahead of time will always be cherished by a few that makes up a cult. Warner Bros royally messed up a second time and it is time we push them again to get at least a part of what we need. #ReleaseTheSnyderCut

If you are interested in another leak like this, read about Death Stranding - Which is at worst the greatest video game release/marketing ever. Honestly, the marketing of this game is worth paying $60 for.

Here is one of the best articles ever written about Zack Snyder's true masterpiece Watchmen (2009) and the flawed masterpiece Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
