300 was dumb but fuckin' awesome. His Dawn of the Dead remake was great. I loved his Watchmen movie.
I think he's a solid director. |

300 was a decent time waster, and his Dawn of the Dead was pretty good. Hated Watchmen though. Although I hated the Watchmen graphic novel too so that one was pretty much DOA for me anyway.

Loved Watchmen. Could not for the life of me understand the hate it got.

Watchmen is the only superhero movie I've ever seen that I wouldn't describe as "fucking gay"

Meh, too dreary and bleak for me. If I wanted to dwell on how much I hate humanity and how much the world sucks I can just listen to my own thoughts. I like going to the movies and reading comics to escape that sort of thing.

Watchmen is dreary and bleak. It is essentially about nuclear war. No time for one-liners.

Watchmen and 300 were decent enough.... lesson being that Zack Snyder is ok when he tries to be very faithful/literal in his adaptations.
If he did a straight adaptation of say, Superman: Birthright, I'm sure it would have been great. |

Watchmen is just ok. Nowhere near as good as the comic (but that was going to be near impossible tbh)
300 is good though and I liked MOS. |

Some issues I agree with. I don't like a 'brooding Superman'.
But the MoS destruction thing is pure bitching. |

Watchmen is the only Snyder film I actually enjoyed. But that wasn't really his own work. He essentially just filmed a live action motion comic.
300 was the shits. Big, dumb and loud. A bunch of characters I could give two fucks about. Didn't care for it at all. Dawn of the dead might be the only film he's ever made that most people will agree on in being a very good, thoroughly entertaining movie. Sucker Punch and the Guardians movie were not well received and MoS might be the most debated good/not good comic film ever. He's been the king of mediocrity. Hopefully getting an actual award winning writer in Terrio will turn things around for BvS and the follow up Justice League. |

Also on your comment about MoS I agree completely. I didn't have a problem with the destruction and stuff. My biggest issue was with Superman's characterization, and with the way his parents and other side characters were portrayed. None of it seemed right. |

"You don't owe this world anything" is the new "maybe". His parents are nice but they are certainly not the parents of the Superman I knew pre-New52. I like MoS, I just wouldn't have done those little things that didn't even affect the story a great deal. Pa Kent could contrast Jor-El's message without insinuating letting a bus full of kids die. It was an absurd line.
Although, I like that Ma Kent says he doesn't owe anybody anything, which for me is a veiled jab at critics anyway. |

Can't really get excited for a movie they threw together just because the Avengers is spanking them. Right after a great Batman series with a credible Batman who was broken down and could have easily knocked it out of the park again as aged Batman.

Nothing like seeing a 6' glowing dick
Granted in some circles that might have been a good selling point for the movie. |

So I mean, Doomsday confirmed right? And since they're referring to Affleck as Bruce Wayne, that debunks the Deathstroke theory?

RIP gloomy DC I wil mis your stone-faced presentation. Though to be fair even TDK had litle jokes in it they were good, It wasn't a constant barrage of one-liners that gets really annoying really fast. |

That's what I've seen people calling them. Have to say, the dialogue here, particularly in the Clark interviewing Bruce clip, is miles sharper than anything from the last movie.
I knew it was coming, but I wish they'd have kept Doomsday a secret and kept pushing forward with the idea of Batman v Superman being the central conflict. Looks like both Superman and Clark have much more material and range going on. One of my biggest gripes with MoS was Clark seeming like a bystander who didn't day a whole lot or express himself. This doesn't seem to have that issue. We shall see. Still haven't revealed Wonder Woman's lines yet. I think this is likely going to be better than Man of Steel. Just seems to be written a bit tighter. |

Bad ass, I can't wait for this movie. It would be a worse wait if Star Wars wasn't coming out this month. No signs of Aqua man yet unless I missed it but he is in it isn't he?

If shit was another word for awesome I'd agree. Pretty much been waiting for this movie since the movie poster appeared in I Am Legend. Liked every thing so far, I do think Doomsday should have been more of a secret but it was cool.

I think Doomsday looks shit, but then again I have no idea how they could make his look work in a live action movie.

I will say that the CGI on Doomsday looks a bit naff, but I'm just happy to have him in a movie and not have to endure another showdown with a "human" opponent.

He had an epic fight with multiple Kryptonians in the last one.
