 Re: Zack Snyder set for Justice League
Why do people keep forgetting Snyder directed one of the most beautiful and underrated animated films of all time??
The Owls of Ga'Hoole

The Owls of Ga'Hoole Legend of the Guardians is indeed a great film (except for that ridiculously unwieldy title) - - it's my favorite of Zack Snyder's movies. Here's my list - - all very good or better movies... 1. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole2. Sucker Punch3. 3004. Dawn Of The Dead (2004)5. WatchmenAs a matter of fact, he's only made the one stinker so far - - if it weren't for last year's... 6936. Man Of Steel...Zack woulda been battin' a thousand. So I certainly haven't given up on the guy! I have every hope that Zack Snyder didn't forget everything he ever knew, and will soon wrench his neck free from the yoke of corporate Hollywood and return to form.

The Owls of Ga'Hoole Because it's shit, which is validated by Bradley Witherberry liking it.

 Re: Zack Snyder set for Justice League
Watchmen is great.
300 was solid...in 2007. It has NO rewatch value.
Dawn of the Dead was good but has always been overrated.
Sucker Punch is one of the worst movies ever. Sitting through it in a theater was excruciating.
And Man of Steel is shit. Its popularity on this forum in particular is baffling because it is certainly not well-liked among the general public. And it was one of my most anticipated movies of last year too. The only good things about it were the score and a few of the performances (Kevin Costner, Diane Lane, Amy Adams). Otherwise it was ugly and soulless (and visually hideous).
Snyder can direct an action sequence but he has no idea how to tackle the more emotional aspects of the story to really involve the audience (this, IMO, is where Nolan excels).

 Re: Zack Snyder set for Justice League
First impressions:
Watchmen: Great. Read the graphic novel first and still loved what he did with the film. Guardians: I, too, find it criminally underrated. I love fantasy and with a bit more ambitious screentime, it could've been another fantasy epic- except of course no one else wanted to watch it, which was depressing. Sucker Punch: Um, yeah, no didn't really like it. Girls were hot, but what storyline? Nothing. I don't know. Forgettable, don't remember much. 300: Eh...I watched it 2 years ago. Overrated I guess, but again, can't remember much of it. Man of Steel: Rather dour and awful.

I assume this was meant to get one on the Nolan fanboys this site has. The Dark Knight Rises isn't that bad. Of course it's quite bad and supremely overrated even though it wasn't even as well received as the first two. Might as well forget it exists. TDK ends fine by itself.

Before seeing it I couldn't wait for Batman vs Superman but now my interest has cooled until I see a trailer.

 Re: Zack Snyder set for Justice League
$7.99 or not, people do not purchase shit movies. As it outsold Iron Man 3, it means it is well liked.

All good movies. Man of Steel is Snyder's best. Watchmen is close but I rewatched it and it doesn't hold up that well. I don't hate any of his movies though, I even like Sucker Punch.
