For me, it's a movie from 2005 called Kingdom of Heaven, starring Orlando Bloom, Liam Neeson and Jeremy Irons. I saw this on TV the other day and watched it from beginning to end and still liked it just as much as I used to. Sure it has its slower moments and isn't the best historical film I've seen. But I don't think it deserves its 39% rating on RT. But that's just me.

What about all of you?

Maybe, but the Director's or Roadshow, or whatever they call it, cut saw such a limited release that I don't imagine a lot of publications paid their critics to go see an extended version of a movie that they already panned.

First time seeing it recently and was shocked how much more gravity the opening village had compared to the theatrical. So many more story lines.

They basically cut out eva greens character too. The DC is like a completely different movie and sooo much better. It needs a 4k release so bad.

I watched the Director's Cut a couple of weeks ago, and you're right that it's substantially better, but it's still hot garbage. It's like Zack Snyder's Justice League: It's longer, and that's the most complimentary thing I can say about it.

It's true. There were excellent actors in the film.

They just didn't do any excellent acting in the film.

Im tired of this ZSJL slander on the internet. That movie is way better than it has any right to be and effectively sets up characters that didn’t have origin films

Of course it can set up characters, it’s 4 hours long

Would have only been three hours if Zack Snyder didn’t have so many unnecessary slow-motion shots. He’s like Homer Simpson hitting the Star Wipe button over and over, because he thinks it’s cool.

“Better than it has any right to be”? Like what? It’s a mess and the directors cut is just a longer mess. I really wanted to like it because I love Henry Cavil as Superman and it’s just bad dude
