More of an Ice Pirates guy myself
But BBtS has its charm. The flying space uterus in particular
It's more The Seven Samurai/Magnificent 7 or more aptly Battle Beyond The Stars.
Which is fitting because BBTS was cashing in on the Star Wars phenomenon at the time. I have a soft spot for that movie
I think the machine is just mad because Snyder fleshed out a much better Rey than that pathetic Mary Sue retard absorption which they aborted out, and that by no means is a complement to Snyder. Disney and the cunt machine is just that, pure ripe shit.
The "machine" had no love for Snyder and his movies before the force awakens even came out lmao. Man of steel was 2013.
Snyder just ain't great at movies, and if Disney had let him make his star wars thing it would've still probably sucked too
How long has Disney owned Marvel again?The "machine" had no love for Snyder and his movies before the force awakens even came out lmao. Man of steel was 2013.

Thought so. War. War never changes. Trash is all relative, you see.
Snyder isn't bad when he's adapting other people's work into film. 300, Watchmen, Dawn of the Dead etc are decent. Not the greatest films ever made, but they're fun movies.
It's his original content that really blows. He can't write a decent screenplay and translate it to film.
Suckerpunch is shite. Army of the Dead is incoherent nonsense and possibly one of the worst films I've ever seen.
I haven't seen Rebel Moon yet, but based on the reviews and the fact that it's a Snyder original, I'm not sure if I really want to waste my time.
Let me try and explain in more simple terms. You can swap Snyder's name on any of the Marvel shit since Black Panther's overrated tripe, and nobody would know the wiser. Hell, it even has the cheese CGI and action straight out of DC at the time.Right, not a single Disney movie has gotten negative reviews since 2011. Totally.
Disney definitely had to sic their "machine" on Zack Snyder, who was such a threat that he *checks notes* has released films to panned reviews as early as 2011, took the second biggest cultural IP in the world and ran it into the ground so bad that we are legitimately questioning whether a superman film will make money.
mmmkay dude lol. Trash is indeed relative, and so are narratives used to justify that trash.

Nah, not enough americsn flags and crucifixes in any of the movies for that.
Well... captain marvel had an American flag in it i guess.
It’s awkwardly cut down to PG-13 huh. Seems senseless for a streaming release. Will wait for the DC.Just watched it. Look it's the Seven Samurai/Magnificent 7. I didn't hate it, but it wasn't great either. Part one is basically the recruitment of the "heroes" with bits and bobs added on. The big battle will be part 2 in April. It's a Snyder movie- pretty, lots of slow mo and bad dialogue.
What is interesting though is that it is clearly a hard R movie with all the gory bits cut out by Netflix (hence directors cut talk later on), and it was awkwardly done. The universe is in no way original with a mixture of Warhammer 40k and Star Wars with a smidge of Harry Potter, but it is a brutal and violent setting, so the jump cuts avoiding the violence is jarring. Meh! I've seen worse movies. It's a Snyder film!
I'm watching it ATM. The main problem is tiny slight boss girl beating people up. That and the constant use of fucking slow motion and blurovision. Someone needs to take Snyder off to one side and give the bugger a good hard slap. Story is fine. I mean you cant go wrong with 7 samurai but he sure is trying to.
The amount of flack he is getting is just insane to see. It's like he personally touched some of you in your peepee zone lmao.
Grow the fuck up it's just movies, and spend less time on stuff you hate and more on stuff you like (Marvel bullshit for most).
A few scenes are totally blurred but most of the rest are heavily blurred except for one face etc. It's exctremely irritating.Yea whats up with the blur lenses used. In few scenes its all smeared scene.
Army of the Dead is one of the worst major releases I've ever seen, but overall his filmography is pretty good. And his superhero movies are all good (the director's cuts). Certainly not above criticism, but things have gotten weird when discussing him and his films in recent times. Seething hatred all over. Meanwhile the MCU and DCEU are putting out stinker after stinker.
He got so much blowback for speaking about his own version of the movie, it was wild. I feel like most directors have a vision of their own movie that gets sidelined by a mandatory rating. Most of my favorite directors were able to release their own cut of a feature film, and those movies were waaaay better, and became the classics that we know today!Army of the Dead is one of the worst major releases I've ever seen, but overall his filmography is pretty good.

I bet it's so hard to always be ahead of the pack as far as visuals and yet be held behind on other things.Yea hes movies are definetly not as bad as they are made out to be in chatter. He certainly has an eye for good visuals but it seems that there should be someobe there to put on the brakes on some of hes visual antics. On the other hand just like with Justice League they are putting brakes on the wrong things.
Ps. Why is it that all of hes movies (some scenes) look somewhat cheap? This Rebel Moon has it too and it isnt cheap movie

I have got to see this movie then.Sucker Punch Extended Cut is pretty good too
My problem with you is that there are fair criticisms and stupid criticisms. You and many other here (hi ManaByte ) fall into the second category with some of the most stupid take I've ever seen on a filmmaker. And no other director is getting shits on like Snyder, but it's ok just because he adapted COMICS BOOK and not the one you wanted. He made his interpretation and for some stupid people it's sacred "OH MY GOD MY BOY SCOUT SUPERMAN WHERE IS IT???".Film makers only get flak when they make movies that deserve that flak. Is everyone supposed to just be nice to Zack Snyder? Does the same apply to Paul WS Anderson? Michael Bay? Wes Anderson? James Mangold?
You like his movies, that’s fine. But other people are allowed to be critical of what he does. You act like Snyder is the only director that gets flak for putting out poor movies, but this section of GAF has loads of threads about bad movies and the people who have made them. A lot of them recently have (deservedly) been about Marvel.
Stop being so sensitive over a guy you don’t know and have no links to personally. It’s fine for you to like him, and equally fine for others to not.
An R-rated sci-fi with this budget is very fucking hard to sell to studios. I think it's a fair compromise.I really wish these directors could just release their versions from the get go, why hire a director/buy his shit and then make him cut it down?
Give me the directors cut..
Still plan on watching this sometime this next week
It is weird. The more hate I see he's films get, the more I tend to appreciate them. Can't wait to watch this tonight!The discourse around Snyder is a weird one to me. I don't really have strong feelings about him. I've liked some of his films, not liked others. But he seems to stir up incredibly passionate feelings, both positive and negative, in some people.
He has always gave me the impression of "style over substance." 300 was the only movie I enjoyed that he directed.It would've been more surprising to me if this movie opened to excellent reviews.
Snyder isn't a great filmmaker and his best works are stories already written that he adapted.
The blurred vision was tolerable in Rebel Moon, glad he toned that shit down from Army of the Dead! Blurred vision in that Army was almost unwatchable for me.I'm watching it ATM.

I mean I remember ManaByte saying ZSJL is the same as JL 2017, but longer. WTF is this stupid take?
Welp Evilore answered before I was able to so here you go. You are acting like he made the worst movies ever, and maybe you think that way but you need to understand it's not everyone's opinion.
ZSJL is one of the best DC movie for example. 300 inspired so many other movies/scenes and is still awesome to watch. Watchmen is *chef's kiss*, MoS one of the best super hero origin story and BvS UE is one of my favorite movie of all time. Yes.
But of course you know better, don't you? Better than the great Kevin Conroy who applauds his films, as do Grant Morrison, Jay Oliva, Marv Wolfman, Dan Jurgen and many other comic book authors who ALL praise Snyder. But you know better than those famous author right? You are so much better than them amaright? Like Snyder, they don't know anything now, right?
See, that's my problem with you and other. You think you are so much better than other when in the end the amount of toxicity is both sad and unbelievable., wasting so much time on stuff you don't like.
Also NotMyProblemAnymoreCunt you can put the laugh emoji as much as you want, it wont make you smarter.

His adaptation of Watchmen is interesting for that reason. He’s playing it very close to the source material and it’s clear he has a lot of respect for it. In a lot of ways he does a great job adapting the story to film, something a lot of people before him had tried and failed to do. But he can’t resist creating a visual spectacle and so thematically the film is at odds (in some respects) to the the comic. In the comic guys like Nite Owl and Rorschach aren’t meant to be cool but Snyder can’t help but frame them that way.That‘s it. He has a strong visual style, but he’s not competent at story or character. Always best when directing things other people have written, and has someone watching over him.

I actually had to look the stuff on Google to see if it was real. Unbelievable. They're actually ripping off Warhammer 40,000.Look at this completely original, and not at all ripped off character in Zack Snyder’s new sci-fi epic. Its Commissar… sorry, I mean AdmiralCainNoble!
Other completely original things Zack invented for this movie are a fascist empire called the Imperium, run from earth by a corpse king, and a character named Balasarius.
….can this cunt ever come up with anything himself?
