I haven't seen it, but I'm not sure this is the vision he would have come out with if he had continued it initially and was the final director for the theatrical release.
First...an R-rated Superman and Justice League movie?
I don't think that would have worked for the theaters at the time or been allowed by the distributors. I think they would have demanded a PG-13/PG-12 cut.
Secondly, as some have noted in the thread and critics, it is going to take a LOT of persuasion for a studio to release a 4 hour cut these days to the theaters. A LOT of persuasion. I don't think it would have been done. I think the movie would have been cut down to at least 3 hours, probably more to 2.5 hours.
That's a LOT of cut content.
This is the Snyder cut though, and it's the middle ground between what I'd see as his vision and what would have been released as a Director's cut...but NOT the theatrical cut.
In that way, comparing a director's cut without knowing what his theatrical cut would have appeared like probably is unfair to Whedon in the comparisons...at least to my initial thoughts without having seen the Snyder Cut yet.
