Why Do Director's Cuts Often Turn Flawed Releases Into Cult Masterpieces?

Sometimes a movie is released to mixed reviews, leaving viewers feeling that something is missing. Years later, a director's cut arrives with deleted scenes restored, characters given more depth, or the story presented closer to the filmmaker's original vision. Suddenly, people begin seeing the movie differently. But is the director's cut actually improving the movie, or are fans simply more willing to appreciate it because they already know its history?

Director's cut can change everything as it can restore the scenes and give room for better pacing.

Zack Snyder's Justice League is a very good example of what Director's cut can offer to fans. For me, it's one of the best movies I've ever seen.

So, for me, it’s a combination of both.
