When Snyder actually has a completed script/storyboards (the comics: 300 and Watchmen) to work from, with actual TALENT working with him to put a film together, he's a relatively good filmmaker. It's when he goes outside his skill set is where he exposes himself as a pretentious idiot; like JJ Abrams and his over-dependence on Mystery-Box Hackery to fool the masses into thinking he's on par with Spielberg in his prime.

Still love the fact that in the Snyder Cut, Darkseid could have won the war easily if he just 1. Released the army of parademons through the boomtube to overwhelm the Justice League 2. Shot the omega beam from his eyes through the boomtube to kill the Justice League 3. Sent Desaad to help Steppenwolf fight the Justice League He did none of that. He just closed the boomtube then got mad that Steppenwolf “failed” his mission (because none of his teammates helped him). Truly a logical course of action in Snyder’s vision.

When the Snyder cut thing was finally happening, the culture war was boiling over and the terminally online were now saying Disney/Marvel/Joss Whedon are woke, therefore DC and Zack Synder are better. I say this because I know people who fell for this mental trap.

I still stand by 300 as a great movie. Not flawless, of course, but i think it holds up well. Can't say I've ever watched anything else he's done and enjoyed it anywhere near as much.
I remember how all the marketing and reviews for the film - both good and bad - essentially described it as “Zach Snyder’s Star Wars pitch” Coupled with the fact that his reason for the director cut was feeling unsafe with releasing it initially and I feel like his problems stem from trying to play it safe all the time. He doesn’t take any big risks, even if he’s handed all the money in the world he’d need to get his true vision out there, which means in the end he gimps his own content
just watched rebel moon and was so bothered by a crappy storytelling that compelled me to look up opinions about snyder's and came across this. the movie isn't so bad, but it did solidify my opinion on snyder as a filmmaker. And the "daydream version" just got it perfectly; so much so that it got the bad taste out of my mouth.
To this day I'm amazed that the ONLY unironically good movies he made were his first 2 outings: Dawn of the Dead and 300. Keep in mind that the former was merely a remake -- albeit a genuinely good one -- and the latter was an adaptation of a comic book. Funny enough, one could even consider 300's success to be a fluke due to the fact Snyder's signature style meshed well with the comic's story, themes and atmosphere. The moment he tried applying his sensibilities to more lighthearted and idealistic works like Superman and Batman, it resulted in butchered characterization amidst nauseating visuals and ill-fitting gloom and pessimism. His Watchmen adaptation was extremely hit-and-miss and his Legends of the Guardians movie was just...meh. Oh but things sure get interesting when Snyder tries his hands at original because it shows just how much of a hack he is. First we have that wonderful trainwreck called Sucker Punch, which can best be summed up as someone taking that "make the bad guys cry like anime fans on prom night" meme and turning it into a 90-minute movie. Unsurprisingly, geeks didn't appreciate Snyder's mockery and the movie bombed harder than Hiroshima. His Army of the Dead thingy was but a rehash of his Dawn of the Dead remake with much worse writing. And finally we have Rebel Moon, which felt like a pastiche of Star Wars, Dune, Seven Samurai and a bunch of other movies haphazardly stitched together with all the care and precision of a blind man throwing darts at a dartboard. It's safe to say that Zack Snyder is the pretentious, edgelord equivalent of Michael Bay and Roland Emmerich.

As far as I'm concerned Snyder has made 2 good movies. A lot of people like 300. I personally don't, but I can understand that it has a big appeal. I also think Watchmen was good. I know it's not like the comic, but I think it captures a similar dark grittiness and can stand on its own. Another one of his I like is Sucker Punch, because that is some hilarious, stupid, pretentious fun.
I will defend Snyder’s early beginnings with Dawn of the Dead, 300, and Legend of the Guardians. Those are actually decent films that he did do a good job on. But much like M Night Shyamalan and Michael Bay, he got lost in his own hype and went overboard with his style.

Don't include Bay in this debate. He's actually listened to criticism and gotten better as a director. And he doesn't play it safe. He's actually diversified his portfolio with varied genre movies like Pain and Gain and 13 Hours.
Michael Bay creates amazing looking films. They may be loud, long and vapid, but honestly… I miss the eye candy women and borderline racist stereotypes of a MB film. Pain and Gain was a completely garbage film, but damn if I wasn’t entertained the entire time.
I'm not a movie buff, but saw 300 on its release, saw Man of Steel on its release. Had no idea who ZS was until 3ish yrs ago, had no idea he did both those films until then. I love both those films. Not particularly keen on other works he's done. But he's clearly great at visuals, no arguing that. Would hate to see him remake 12 Angry Men or It's a Wonderful Life though.

@@bumpin0 His only success were 300 and Dawn of the dead. An adaptation and a remake. He can't create. He's like the writers of game of thrones.
Now if we can only get Mauler to admit that Watchmen is a completely mid film. 🙃

The best parts of Watchmen were Dr. Manhattan and Rorschach.

It's not, sorry No thanks to Snyder. The good writing simply rubbed of on the movie for the most part. All he had to do was make it look good and be Faithfull to the comic book. Credit to him still

i mean, it's not? It's got a good story, mostly competent actors and an interesting visual style. Objectively speaking it's a good movie.

Could be a better movie if Snyder wasnt in charge. Was 2 slow mo gratuitous sex scenes necassary to tell the story? Nough. Did they advance the plot/story? Nough. Were those two scenes storyboarded in the novel? Also Nough. Snyder cant help himself, he's a degen.

Zack Snyder is just pretentious Micheal Bay.

At least Michael Bay's scripts make sense.
I think Twitch should just have an age verification that requires you to put in your Driver's License number or SSN. Granted, i still think they should have a SFW Twitch so people who arent interested in that content can still watch their content and all NSFW creators have to agree to being behind the verification wall.
Always has been.
I’ve always thought that Zach Snyder was overrated. I like maybe two of his movies

True.
Watchmen 2009 is one of my favorite movies!
The Watchmen is one of my favorite movies of all time. Going to that from the Army of the dead is mind boggling. I couldn’t make it past 10 minutes before I turned it off

Watchman Only First 50 Minutes GREAT, After That Just Average Booring, SlomoCrap. N Only His First Zombie Movie GREAT.
Sadly we have to wait for not only the director's cut, but also the sequel to see the complete story and whether Zack Snyder still has it as the best filmaker of our miserable timeline.
I see so many people say “Snyder should never write, he would be much better if he were just a cinematographer.” and it’s fucking infuriating.

Guys...Snyder can absolutely be a DP while being a Director. All he has to do is not care about: Focus Depth of field Eye-lights Exposure (not that it matters. Snyder always crushes the blacks so you can't see jack shit) Framing (because why showcase a location so an audience gets their bearings) All that aside, I'd say he's nailed it.
Reb Elmo On
Not too long ago i watched mortal engines for the first time and even that was slightly better than rebel moon to me 🤷🏽♂️💯
While I don't enjoy most of his films I kind of respect that no matter how much shit people throw his way he just makes things how he wants anyway. Alot of directors these days do not take the criticism well and try to blame things on toxic fans where as he just takes it all and carries on.
Yeah he's pretty bad now. Ruining DC a pin in his shoulder pin pads
i hope snyder is finally realized to be a hack. i don't want him (or michael 'explosions are the same as story' bay) to ever get a single cent that could go to another filmmaker... even neil breen!
Not THAT kind of shower scene silly!
300 and Dawn of the Dead are awesome. His other stuff stinks.
The writing in my amateur DND campaign is better
