Whilst I agree with you on that one, Kal, I'm looking back at films that have been made golden through editing. Gone With The Wind, the Godfather Part II, Iron Man and even Shakespeare In Love. They were all claimed to be distinctly average or even borderline incomplete until edited into shape.
I think a good editor could salvage the film since the flashbacks could be addressed along with the action scenes' lengths and hence a better film could come through the mist. It's there, but it's just mired by basic flaws at a story-telling and visual level.
But yes, Snyder's definitely responsible for the final cut. No mistaking that. I just think a good and strong editor is as vital to a good film as a good screenplay and director.
