The Atmos sound is pretty damn good on the UHD. Which is about as much of an endorsement as I can give for every DC thus far. The sound is good.

Oh yeah because as we've all learned before, any time a movie gets an extended cut its to try and fix it. This movie played for what seems like forever and the drops for it each week were pretty small. It's pretty obvious that a lot of people saw it and liked it so in a lot of peoples eyes it doesn't need fixing.

It's becoming a trend at this point. Releasing two films that were met with poor to mixed reviews and then putting together a different cut for home release seems indicative of a problem. Director's/extended cuts aren't really normal unless there's studio meddling which seems to be the case with both this and Batman V Superman.

I'm not sold that the perceived quality of the two movies have any bearing on the release of an extended cut here - I'm more inclined to believe both of these happen to have a ton of extra footage shot and cut for reasons both good and bad (I don't recall significant rumors of studio meddling in BvS?) so it made sense to package it in some way. If the movies were better received, I honestly think we'd see the same thing

It's also pretty obvious, based on reviews as well as viewer feedback, that many thought it was mediocre. Your post is bizarre.
So no, this cut isn't to "fix" the movie. Most likely it's because they know that there is interest in an extended cut and they want to make more money. Simple as that.
