After watching Rebel Moon I think hes officially finished. He was once good though. Always kinda screwy but he had a special quality.

I'll definitely say this, his movie do suck but at least they are memorable even if it's for the right and/or wrong reasons.

I really enjoyed 300 and Watchmen. Pretty much anything else I've seen of his has been disappointing garbage.

Watchmen is stylish, but it's also a complete misread of what the comic was about. Snyder either completely misunderstood the themes, or he just didn't care.

I actually do enjoy the Watchmen movie.

I don't know. Even if he doesn't understand why the comic works, he at least likes it whereas the Man of Steel and BvS (Didn't see his JL cut) he looks down on the comics and it shows.

So basically the point of money is to take a bad idea and make it good.

An idea is bad when you can explain every part of it, and an idea is good when you can apprehend it away from the idea. Sometimes an idea is always bad and people pay to see it.

Watchmen and Zack Snyder's Justice League are two of the best comic book-based movies out there imo.
I do get the criticism with Snyder's movies in general though. It's either very hit or very miss with him.

And I gotta admit visually his movies are mind-blowing.

Dawn -> 300 -> watchmen was a pretty great run.

Once he stopped adapting stuff and started creating, it went down hill.

Watchmen is only good because it's 90% straight from the comic. Most of the bad parts are when Snyder gets all Snyder-y and puts his own mark on it.

I'll still never understand DC choosing him to not only make a Superman movie when he obviously hates the character, but also to lead their own comic book movie universe. What a waste.

I have to disagree with at least some of that. In this day and age, it's very easy to go with the standard MCU formula when making a comic-book movie. Most DCEU movies don't really do that, and while I agree that a lot of them have been trainwrecks, I can't deny that Watchmen and ZS's Justice League were qualitatively great and even relatively original.

He is style over substance. His movies have good scenes, great moments but when everything is put together the overall package is not very good.

I understand why people love him. I don't.

Comic purists hate the changed ending. Me? I actually liked it a lot. Watchmen and Dawn of the Dead are my favorite Snyder films.

Oh, I wouldn't want them to copy the MCU formula exactly, but I didn't care for the direction they went with. I don't 100% blame Snyder either because I have a feeling no matter who was picked, WB/DC would have screwed it up somehow given their track record.

I didn't hate it. Still, my issue is the alien is a better common enemy for mankind to unite against than Doctor Manhattan. How is DM supposed to be stopped exactly? Still a minor issue.

I didnt care for Snyders Watchmen, but its wasnt horrible. Something about the movie just never clicked that made it feel compelling like the comic felt imo. I didnt have issues with the changes or cuts. I dont have a word, but a friend of mine felt a similar way and he described the movie as dry.

His faithful adaptations are good but his deviations no matter how big or small tend to be awful. But come the DCUE he seemed to have developed a massive ego for some reason. Having all sorts of crazy grandiose ideas for the franchise and characters but he didnt earn any of them.

It really was a shame since I dont believe most other directors would have screwed up as hard as he did.

Zach Snyder can basically make really entertaining and iconic scenes, but with a full-length movie requirement he really can't help but create jumbled messes of good scenes very awkwardly patched together.

But the alien is dead so stopping Manhattan is irrelevant. It's the threat of a future attack, that's why Manhattan fucks off to Mars. The inherent threat of another attack is what unites the planet, that's why the endings are exactly the same and for whatever reason, people want to pitch a fit, because they didn't get to see a giant squid.

I was thinking along the lines of the people who don't know the true story about it. They don't know all about the squid and in the case of another attack, there's the idea humanity could potentially stop it. Everyone knows how powerful DM is and how he's like a god, so how could humanity unite to stop him if he decided to attack again like they could with the "alien"?

Like I said, it's a minor issue and the movie ending didn't bother me really.
