10 Worst Decisions Hollywood Has Made In 2016 (So Far)
10. Editing Batman V Superman Into An Illogical Mess
Batman V Superman: Dawn Of Justice released in March to shockingly scathing reviews, casual critics and fanboys alike tearing the film apart for its lack of coherence and generally underwhelming nature.
The 151-minute version released theatrically deserves most of that scorn, yet the Ultimate Cut released at the end of June is a vast improvement, fixing a number of the film's logic issues and basically answering a lot of the nagging questions viewers had.
Because Warner Bros. were nervous about releasing a 3-hour superhero movie, they forced Zack Snyder to harshly edit the film down, resulting in the incredibly rough theatrical version. Had they just let Snyder's vision hit cinemas, the critical reception would no doubt be improved, and it's possible that the film would've crossed the $1 billion mark without such vitriolic word of mouth.
Hopefully Warner will learn from this for Justice League.
