He has only made above average to truly great movies. Pretty good batting average if you ask me.

Zack Snyder makes garbage low tier movies that generally are not worth watching.

The OP is no longer a weird salt post so no longer is this one either. The forums are a better place now that we're all super chill.

Pirate Jet posted:What a good idea for a thread started in good faith by a helpful member of CineD. Last time we tried to cordon off discussion a loud minority would never stop complaining about to its own separate area it went really well and everyone used both appropriately, so I can see why you might think this idea would work. I don't see a problem here, it would be really loving funny if all the idiots who bleat about quarantining Snyder chat would show up here and do their usual thing because they realize what they consider good discussion is really boring.

World War Z is the only major one I can think of. A lot are about how humans are the real monsters, or are mostly body horror, or are just pandemic disaster movies with monsters. To me, most are either looking at society or looking inward at our own fragile meat-machine bodies.

Mm, I'm happy to admit it's almost certainly informed by my lack of familiarity with the good zombie poo poo - so it's an opinion formed largely from the debris of zombie media: promotions for TV shows, movie trailers, satires and - worst of all - video games. Which is pretty unfair, but media doesn't get to choose how it's consumed.

It would be funny if the zombie outbreak casino heist movie ends up being his Fountainhead adaptation.

Some of the best zombie movies simply use zombies as a plot device to create a post-apocalyptic world that’s still actively dangerous to the survivors. I’m thinking of movies like 28 Days Later.

Yeah, Man of Steel being a sci-fi movie about an alien finding his way on Earth, drawing as much from, like, Starman as it does previous Superman works, is one of its big strengths. Sucrose posted:Some of the best zombie movies simply use zombies as a plot device to create a post-apocalyptic world that’s still actively dangerous to the survivors. I’m thinking of movies like 28 Days Later. Definitely. The end of that movie is exactly what came to mind for a heist movie in a zombie apocalypse, where Jim is breaking into the manor house to rescue his companions.

I love Man of Steel for that reason, I bought it on UHD recently and it's just a really fun rewatch with all kinds of different weird sci-fi things happening. Superman aside, actually a legitimately good piece of science fiction.

This thread reminds me I need to watch his owl movie, just for completeness.

I’d argue that Snyder approaching the characters without preconception is what makes his movies so interesting and also so divisive. Like take Batman. If you had never heard of Batman before and someone approached with the idea of a character that is a billionaire saddled with PTSD from witnessing the murder of husband parents, and deals with it by dressing as a monster to scare criminals, you’d think that character was a maniac. And until Batman kind of rebalances his moral center in BvS - he is. Like one of the most fascinating aspects of that movie is how it treats Batman largely as an antagonist until the third act. You can’t do something like that if you’re worried about carrying 50+ years of pop culture baggage.

That only works because we, as an audience, know that Bats is really a good guy.

You are asking why he didn't engage in vigilante justice against a man he opposes because of his brutal vigilante justice.

Batman being the only criminal Superman spent his time apprehending was an excellent joke.

Megaman's Jockstrap posted:I feel that this is a bad concept for a thread, and I shan't be participating. Good luck with it tho Zack Snyder has directed eight movies. Half of those are pretty significant to modern pop culture and genre films. He is also an executive producer on many films and has been in charge of a major studio’s extended universe. He is incredibly divisive on this forum. Every thread brings him up. There are many fans and many anti-fans for him. I think that that justifies having a thread for the guy. That the thread was created by someone who’d doesn’t like him seems irrelevant. Fans will still be fans, haters will hate, and there will always be an ongoing discussion between the two. And this is where they can talk about him.

It’s my fault I don’t understand your vague logic? You seem to insinuate this is an act of cruelty or, like, a weird form of cinematic bigotry because the thread has a funny title. But yeah, if you don’t want to talk about Snyder, no one’s gonna force your participation. Anyway, I really like Dawn of the Dead and I’m intrigued by his return to horror. MOS is fine, but I’ve just never been a fan of him. I think Watchmen looks good, at least. Oh and I like his choices for soundtracks.

Anyway, Snyder doing a zombie film is the one thing to really make me interested in going back to him. Dawn '04 is legit excellent.
