As word has it, the first cut of Star Wars was pretty terrible. But some solid editing can fix a lot... but not everything. A terrible movie will remain a terrible movie, no matter how good the editing.Could Manos be a good movie with some good editing?I haven't seen Manos the Hand of Fate, but I have seen Tommy Wiseau's The Room. The Room has plenty of filler that could be cut to make the movie better. But then you're left with a movie that is shorter than it already is, and there's no cutting around the bad acting and Tommy's terrible accent.Justice League arguably had the potential to be good. Jack Snyder's style of storytelling and directing may not be to everyone's liking, but it didn't need to be as bad as it was when released in theaters. However in the case of Justice League, it wasn't just a matter of editing; the movie was left unfinished, and the studio hastily shot new footage to get it done. It is unheard of for a director to be given the freedom to re-edit and reshoot a movie that had already been released, and then make it 4 hours long. Just think of all the work that is being thrown away in the process of making this new version. The actors are probably glad to see Snyder's original vision restored (since Justice League was critically panned by critics and viewers), but I would not be surprised if they had mixed feelings about a lot of their hard work now ending up on the cutting room floor. Not to mention the hard work of CGI artists being thrown away. That is a lot of money being burned.</blockquote>
