for the 0 people wondering, that is a Thrustmaster Warthog HOTAS (PC flight sim controller setup) being used in that Batplane/Batwing/Batwhatever at the beginning.

Somewhere Drew Scanlon is buying a ticket.
 
Better than previous trailers but



these scenes feel a little cringey to me. Similar to

I think I'm just fearful of the inevitable backslide to hokey shit. I mean this guy would totally fit in the new suicide squad movie

search your hearts you know it to be true.
 
I still think Affleck is really bad casting - his delivery of lines in that trailer are bad...

BUT!

That Batman fight is pure bliss. Talking with Alfred, arriving on the plane-the entire fight is like a Batman comic come to life. Very impressive.
 
While the Batman sequence at the beginning looks cool, he also looks amped up to Captain America levels. That seems like superhuman level strength.

That pretty much tracks with comic Batman.

And Captain America is theoretically not supposed to be 'Super'-human.
 
This Batman is most certainly better than the awful Christian Bale. Movie will most certainly not be better but I will be surprised if the solo Batman movie is not better than the Nolan one's. After all it is being directed by Affleck.

We might have a slight quibble on Bale, but I'd agree that an Affleck-directed solo film would be something worth getting excited over.
 
Well fuck, I have felt off about this movie since they announced it would be the starting of the justice league.

But that trailer made me hyped.

I still feel like its trying to stuff too much into one movie..but DAMN I'm excited to see it.

Maybe the Wonder Woman shot, but not the others. The block reminds me of Cap nudging Thor's hammer in that it's an "oh shiiiiiiiiiiiiiit" moment. I love it.
 
This movie is fucking with my emotions.

1st Trailer: Oh, we haven't really seen a movie deal with the backlash a superhero might face being involved with a large scale battle. This could be cool.

2nd Trailer: What. The. Fuck. Was. That?

3rd Trailer: Can I get back on the hype train? I won't lose faith again, I promise.
 
Didnt he say that he is is getting slow in his old age....imagine this batman 10 years younger.

God damn Leto Joker prequel with Robin/Todd. DO IT.
 
Snyder is really good at crafting really cool looking moments. He shares that skill with Bay. But he seems to spend so much currency on making those individual moments that the surrounding stuff kind of flatlines, because it doesn't have as much effort or it needs to be twisted and contrived in such a way to result in that cool singular moment. This is exemplified when he starts working towards specific panels from a comic book, and it becomes a chain of "LOOK AT THIS COOL SHOT" and "THIS IS THE COOLEST MOMENT EVER" and the links between those moments are barely holding things together, or they aren't at all.

I think this is a pretty accurate assessment of why his later films don't work right. At some point in his career he leaned heavy into that habit, where earlier it wasn't as prevalent. Both Dawn of the Dead and 300 try to set up those moments correctly. Dawn of the Dead does it best, I feel - which is probably why it's still his best movie. There are really cool moments he knows he's going to get to, but he's patient (ish) about making sure we get there correctly.

That sorta happens in 300, too.

It doesn't really happen very frequently at all following that.
 
75, 60, and 65 though - nothing super impressive, and I even liked 300. Its not like his prior work is/was so great.

I get that it's a video game forum, and we're all conditioned to think that any number below an 8 is bad, but those are totally good scores. That means significantly more than half of film critics liked the films.

Rottentomatoes is simultaneously a handy tool to find what films to see, and a blight on film crit. If we had it back in the 60s and 70s, films like 2001: A Space Odyessy would be remembered as having a similar score, not that I'm saying Snyder's work is remotely on that level.

That is a new one. Afflecks line deliveries are good. What exactly do you think is bad?
 
All of his live-action films before sucker punch are "fresh." So, yeah really?

One moderately well-reviewed film, two that were divisive, and three that fared rather poorly (disastrously so in the case of Sucker Punch).

There's no revisionist history here. He's not a critical darling, and never really has been.

This is fair
 
Which of his films are "great" though? The general consensus is his films range from awful(Sucker punch, MoS) to Decent(Dawn, Watchmen). Hes not regarded as a very good director and rightfully so. He can direct some stylish scenes and thats about it.

For me personally?

I think 300 is a great movie, so is Watchmen, Dawn of the Dead and Man of Steel.

And his most underrated movie Legend of the Guardians.
 
Yes they are.

300: Amazing-GOD tier trailer, pretty good action flick.

Watchmen: Superb trailer, decent adaptation resulting in average flick.

Sucker Punch: Crazy good trailer, terrible film.

Man of Steel: Oh my GOD trailer, terrible film.

Snyder is second only to JJ Abrams when it comes to generating hype-tastic trailers that result in merely average if not terrible films.

I disagree with two things in this post:

1) Watchmen DC version is a fantastic movie, far better than the theatrical release was, and is actually one of my favorite comic films

2) JJ has directed some really good films and shows, calling his stuff merely average to terrible is ludicrous (minus a few stinkers)

But, opinions, we all have them.

My thoughts exactly. Watched MoS with my friend, she said the film felt like one long dream sequence, it wasn't so much a film as a series of scenes stuck together.
