Pretty much my consensus. The theatrical cut was terrible, IMO. There were major story elements missing that made the movie feel incomplete. The action sequences were fantastic. I really feel like Snyder has a talent for creating some breathtakingly beautiful and epic action. I kind of wish we could have gotten more of it, though. I thought the story was OK, not great. And at least in the UC it made sense, . In the TC it was almost completely nonsensical at times.

I had some major problems with the handling of Superman at times. I feel like there were times he fit the mold, sacrificing himself multiple times. Then there were times I was mindblown by some of his choices. Mainly just before and at the begining of the Batman fight. He was inconsistent. At times I felt like he was used strictly as a plot device for Batman. But again, there were times he did resemble the Superman I want to see.

I watched the UC last night. I never saw it in theaters and went in with low expectations, but I thought it was a pretty good movie. Much better than Man of Steel. Of course I don't like several things Snyder did, Hans Zimmer's soundtrack left a lot to be desired, and Eisenberg was awful.

That movie gave me so much gas I nearly shite my pants. It was horrible.

Watched the Ultimate Cut last night. Much, much better film.

If you hated the premise and the third reel then don't bother, but the Ultimate Cut fleshes out so much of the plot and motivation, even better than the Director's Cut of Watchmen.

It appears that when they cut for time, they left Batman and Wonder Woman's scenes intact and jettisoned the Clark Kent scenes and most of the scenes that map out the conspiracy.

Awesome added scenes surrounding the initial attack in the desert (including the "Jimmy Olsen" scene which would've been a great fake-out if I hadn't have known about it prior... My wife's reaction was, "Wow, that wasn't Jimmy Olsen!")

Great scenes with Clark investigating Batman, and the woman paid to put the blame on Superman, what happened with the Bat-branded criminal between his arrest and when Clark gets the Polaroids...

The only added WTF scene is the Steppenwolf reveal with Lex. That really looks like an Easter Egg or end credits teaser that was forced into the cut. Other than that, everything works.
