I watched the extended 3 hour long edition, with hopes that it would cover some of the most ridiculous plot holes and question marks left after the theatrical version.
It did answer most of the open issues except a few and of course some of the choices Snyder made, still look ridiculous:
Like why would Batman shoot a tracking device onto the truck, destroy the port, go through the whole trouble of killing peopleto only steal the stone from LexCorp building? Why?- So Snyder can have a 10 min long car chase/battlestupid
Why did Louis, makes a seemingly good decision of throwing the only weapon that could kill Smanand then in 5 minutes somehow realise that Doomsday is from Krypton so he can only be killed by the weapon?Again 15 minutes of CGI fire and Amazing Spider Man 1 villain destroying half of Gotham which is fine because Batman said its OKWTF
I still don't get why was Lex pimping Batman to kill Sman for "2 years", while he still created Doomsday which was 1 minute away from being created when Sman flew into the spaceship. So regardless of what Batman could doDoomsday was still comingWouldnt that create the opposite effect of what Lex wanted to do and let Sman save the city from Dday and show again that he is good?
But the part of the Uedition for me is the fact that it shows exactly why Sman didn't see the bomb at the hearingand not the 1st version of I DIDNT SEE because I WASNT Looking
Although its 3 hours long, its a lot more entertaining than the original and it makes more sense, which the 1st time around it didnt at all. Any thoughts? -

Tracker was backup plan. Trying to steal Krytponite while it was being moved was the right move because there was relatively less security and Batman would have been screwed if they put the stone in some vault or fortress. Little did Batman know that Lex WANTED him to have the crystal, he was just trying to make things look real by making the stone hard to get.
Why did Louis, makes a seemingly good decision of throwing the only weapon that could kill Smanand then in 5 minutes somehow realise that Doomsday is from Krypton so he can only be killed by the weapon?
Killing Superman or not, Batman is a responsible guy and the weapon was too important to abandon, he should have taken it with him. Lois realized the monster was Kryptonian because she had been to her office (Daily Planet), she knew Kryptonian scout ship was acting really weird.
I still don't get why was Lex pimping Batman to kill Sman for "2 years", while he still created Doomsday which was 1 minute away from being created when Sman flew into the spaceship.
Doomsday was backup plan. Lex was hoping Batman would kill Superman (as evident from Superman & Lex meeting in the scout ship). It was only after Batman failed to kill Superman and saved Martha that Lex brought Doomsday to life.

No matter how much these DC emotards try to justify and defend all of your arguments, they still will never admit that their precious film does indeed have flaws. I agree with every complaint you have, and that's just the beginning of the DCEU. Don't be surprised when Justice League gets piss-poor reviews.

The only thing I think was an improvement of the UE from the theatrical was Superman is shown investigating Batman, there was more insight on the Africa incident, and Lex being in contact with Stephhenwolf. But I think everything else is unnecessary and longer than it needed to be and there are still illogical things about the movie.

The UC actually made it worse. if you go watch cinema sins UC eview they go over all the added footage and the majority of it was things like "Cops walk up two flights of stairs instead of one" or "Henchman has 12 second scene walking across room instead of 6."
the movie was already way over bloated. making a longer cut that shovels in even MORE bloat is ridiculous.
And a lot of the details they did add were pointless or made things worse. like Lois and her magic bullet arc. it goes nowhere except to show that Lex Luthor hired a merc team, then equipped them with bullets that only he could provide, leaving a trail directly back to him.
Or Wheelchair guy, Lex personally delivers a rolling bomb, now this guy was destitute, so imagine you're in his shoes and one of the worlds most prominent billionaires just hand delivers a new wheelchair. he'd be telling everyone he knew.. hell he'd be telling everyone he didn't know. in short, he'd be talking about it til the second he exploded.
So when the cops investigate the bombing, it was in his wheelchair? Well there's footage of him on tv defacing the superman statue, and he didn't have some ultra modern superchair, his looked like he found it in the dumpster behind a goodwill store so the smallest amount of asking around and.. Oh Lex Luthor genius billionaire delivered the chair personally. then arranged for him to get into that congressional hearing, then, despite the fact he was on the audience list, never showed up himself. wow he sure is lucky he didn't show up for that huh?
derp.
This is the movie they are calling a "brilliant masterpiece" their spastic villain leaves neon lit signs leading back to him at all his crime scenes.Thanks to Batmeh v Supermeh Yawn of Justice, the "S" now stands for Sidekick
