I used to consider myself a bonafide Snyder fan, I liked Dawn of The Dead, 300, Watchmen and even Sucker Punch.

But I totally hated Man of Steel and never bothered with BvS or Justice League.

Something changed to where his movies became really dour and ugly looking, gone were the eye popping colors and snarky humor, it's like he way over corrected due to the failure of Sucker Punch and tried to go in as opposite a direction as he could.
 
I support Man of Steel and didn't find BvS to be a "bad" movie looking just at how it characterized Superman, Luthor, and Batman.

Thankfully the cinematic universe craze lasted about as long as Crossbones did in captain America: Civil War. MCU worked cause they had a solid plan in place while DCEU was just throwing shit out to play catch up. If Wonder Woman 84 fails they should ditch the whole thing and do a series of movies based on the Injustice storyline. Plenty of source material to mine from and to the average viewer it would be something new at least.

Injustice was badly written and based on a silly premise (Superman turns into Hitler from killing someone as cartoonishly evil as the Joker, Batman not turning a mass murderer into the proper authorities). Other works like Red Son and Irredeemable did the "Evil Superman" premise better since they either have Superman keep his core (his compassion, his drive to protect others) but have it be directed in a new, terrifying way (in Red Son's case, getting raised in Stalinist Russia by the Big S himself) or establish that the Superman was never Superman to begin with (Irredeemable, which has the Superman analogue go postal on Earth after a lifetime of abandonment and his own issues).

I actually like the Dawn of the Dead remake ... And while I'm not a big fan of 300, I actually commend the movie for what it is. It's probably the most accurate comic book film adaptation ever.

Sucker Punch ... While I don't think it's a good movie, I totally "get" what Snyder was trying to go for. I think there's a good movie hidden in there somewhere ... It's just that Snyder needed someone to guide his ideas into a more cohesive execution. Sucker Punch is one of those movies that I consider to be an admirable failure.

Personally, I think that Batman v Superman is even worse than Man of Steel. Both films are on equal levels of boring, miserable, and turgid, though. Justice League is hilariously bad though, as it's obvious to see which scenes were Snyder's, and which scenes were Whedon's. The filmmaking of Snyder and Whedon go together like battery acid and taste buds do. That's the best way I can describe it.

JL was also having Ben Affleck as Co-EP with Zach and Warner management gave Ben the power to tell Zach no.

It's not a perfect adaptation but it got a lot right.
 
i thought people were fucking around when this was trending on twitter

i liked man of steel and bvs
i've already went through the stages of grief over the fact i will never see more battfleck and henry cavil, so i'm not really excited about this. just lukewarm. like on one hand cool? i guess? on the other, meh, unecessary.
if there are any snyder dc fans left, at least they get to find some closure.

i personally don't think snyder deserved all the hate he got, so it's nice to see someone out there supports him.
 
Man of Steel and to a lesser extent BvS were both financially successful and had a decent (at worst) critical reception. The hatred against them came largely from critics and king nerds than the viewing audience. Unfortunately, DC panicked at what the critics said combined with how BvS apparently didn't make Marvel bucks ASAP so they tried hard to ape the tone/style of their movies.

I call Joker the worthy sucessor to Snyder's work.
 
300 and Watchmen were decent, but otherwise I think Zack Snyder is almost as big of a hack as Joss Whedon. Haven't seen Sucker Punch, so I can't comment on that one.

I utterly despise that Dawn of the Dead remake he did back in 2004.

The original Romero version from 1978 was a far better film and a groundbreaking horror title, whereas the 2004 Snyder remake seemed like a cheapo early 2000's action movie with fast zombies shoehorned into the movie because the studio wanted to cash in on the popularity of 28 Days Later.

While I personally dislike fast zombies, they worked in 28 Days Later (which is an awesome film) while Dawn of the Dead was emblematic of the "in name only" remake trend that was all over the place in the 2000's (and still sort of continued in the 2010's)

Although I think Snyder truly proved himself to be a hack with his DC movies.

Man of Steel and BvS are great movies weighed down by weird tangents. The whole Krypton sequence of MoS is a boring waste of time, but once the movie starts to focus on Superman it becomes good. BvS has the reverse problem: the first two hours of BvS are pure gold, but once Doomsday shows up it all goes to shit.

Snyder's biggest problem is that he's too ambitious. He really could've used someone on all these films to ground him and help him pace out the plots a little better. Like maybe he didn't have to kill Superman in the second film of the DCU. Just a thought.
