This is not an extended cut, these are more or less two completely different films. There are entire character sequences here that were removed for the theatrical cut and none of the new footage shot by Whedon, which includes almost everything we saw of Superman in the theatrical, is being used. It's a completely different score by a different composer. And Snyder's signature visual style is much more iconic than Whedon's.
It's also going to be a four-part miniseries, with the option to watch it as a single film.

Epic trailer, and so much new footage. But of course, they are going to use as much new footage as possible in a 2-minute trailer.
HBO needs to be careful with peoples expectations I think, as I'm now going into this expecting a very different movie; if when I sit down and watch the whole film it's 80% re-cut and colour-graded existing footage I'm going to feel duped. Hopefully, they come out nearer the release with some statistics (i.e. 50% re-cut, 50% previously unseen) so we know what we're getting. If it's 50/50 and a better movie, that's good enough IMO. But when they denied enough footage even existed for this cut in the first place, maybe that's being over optimistic.
But as far as a trailer goes, Cyborg already seems more fleshed (sic) out in these 2 minutes than the Whedon cut.

Everywhere I go there are stupid idiots saying the same shit like it's going to be an extended cut, it won't be any different. Even after seeing the snyder cut teaser these mentally stunted shitheads say it's the same movie? Be in a state of denial and stay salty!
If Quentin Tarantino said, "Hey simpleton, give me your footage, and I'll make something out of this trash," I'd be interested. Zack Snyder going back and completing his "vision" just makes me cringe. I will admit that I'm morbidly curious how out of control this dumpster fire will be, though.

He didn't even finish the movie as his daughter committed suicide and he left. WB took whatever was there, cut it smaller and gave it to campy Joss Whedon to make a shitty version.
I'm going to watch it before I give judgment.

Whedon reshot about 80% of the movie. They redid Cyborg's story (his dad was still alive in the theatrical version and we never saw HIS origin), cut out Barry's origin, changed Steppenwolf, redid most of Superman's story arc, added unnecessary humor that wasn't very funny... This is prime studio meddling!
It's an almost totally new movie coming out!

i agree w Vito's take here. the movie just looks better. he points out that the proper lighting and color grading is used throughout.
Zach Snyder uses a lot of heavy shadows and they are present here. it gives it all a much more dramatic, realistic look.

If anyone can make a film look dull and lifeless it's Joss Whedon.
