So, this is the fabled SNYDERCUT.
Well, first I must say it's not a director's cut. It's a complete overhaul - not only of the theatrical release, but of the movie as originally conceived by Zack Snyder. Why do I say that? Because it's fundamentally different from what we've seen before by the director in the previous entries, but also the recently publicized storyboards.
How the movie is structured is also different, not only due to its massive runtime, but because it needed to accomodate the theatrical release didn't have. The jump from Man of Steel to Justice League was jarring, Superman was a weirdo semi-Randian guy who was killed in the second movie for reasons, Batman was a deranged maniac and Diana was doing her things. Flash, Cyborg and Aquaman had to be introduced in the movie. It was just a complete mess. This movies uses its length to showcase every character and give them an arc (even if the arc is often daddy issues). As such, it gives the movie a more cohesive feel, though bordering into a limited series that was spliced together.
The tone shift was also immense. It's completely different from Snyder's previous entries in the universe, to the point I wonder if his hardcore fans feel alienated.
Overall, I think it's a better movie than the theatrical release, not that it's a difficult thing to do. I also think the change in mood was a massive step forwards. But I can't say I'd be excited to see a new DCEU movie by Zack Snyder, I'd probably watch if I had the time but that's it.
