Donald Trump said Comcast, the owner of NBC and MSNBC, “should be investigated for its ‘Country Threatening Treason’” and promised to do so should he be re-elected president next year....
I'm no Trump alarmist, but the quote itself is pretty bad, depending on what exactly he means:
they and others of the lamestream media will be thoroughly scrutinized for their knowingly dishonest and corrupt coverage of people, things, and events

It's outstanding, but it's not your typical movie in the sense of what it's designed to convey. Take it as a portrayal of how people might respond to the events in the movie, rather than being about the characters in the movie, and the ending should not be that disappointing.
The movie was only playing in four theaters, basically. I get wanting to make a PG-13 edit for general audiences but the director's cut is supposed to have a lot more footage, which would probably fix the pacing complaints. Knowing Snyder's theatrical cuts' reputation for being subpar, I'm not even going to watch the PG-13...
