Is there a more unfairly maligned director in modern Hollywood than Zack Snyder?

I was barely 15 when my Dad "snuck" me out of being grounded to see the movie Man of Steel. It was during that 2 hour visual spectacular that I realized this was the true example of a unique fresh artist, Zack Snyder. It was 2 years later I watched the BvS teaser trailer and as anyone who knows me in high school can atest, I wrote "Do you bleed?" on nearly every surface I could before I saw Snyder once again work his magic in March 2016 with the BATMAN V SUPERMAN film. Zack has left his mark on not only me, but cinema as a whole.
let's see the samefags
Brandon Moore
Damn this is sad.
Cameron Rogers
he's some autist who posts that every day for some reason
Jason Young
you sound like a closet case op
Kayden Allen
>Elevate capeshit to high art.
There are people who actually believe this.
Isaac Flores
because it's the truth.
Leo Reed
You are unironically correct, OP. This film was the peak of cape cinema heretofore and astoundingly maligned by the cycle of online cynicism.

>trick a few pretentious contrarian on Sup Forums along the way
And before you use your only defense, no, I don't like Marvel either
Landon Reed
capeshit is inherently childish the only way to sell it to actual adults is by turning it into campy, lighthearted fun the alternative means polishing a turd, trying to extract anything serious from a source material made to appeal to literal teenagers, e.g. any DC movie besides Suicide Squad only edgy teenagers full of themselves appreciate this, hence the popularity of Marvel and failure of DC
Josiah White
>I don't like Marvel either
We both know you do, otherwise you wouldn't be so asshurt by this thread

Gavin Cook
I could go on and on about how awful Marvel movies are, but at least they have the decency to know they're making crap and don't try to pretend they're making "high art."
Jace Hall
I know you're a troll but watchmen is easily better than mos and bvs and it isn't even high art
Brandon Long
I was barely 13 when my Dad "snuck" me out of being grounded to see the movie Watchmen. It was during that 2 and a half hour visual spectacular that I realized this was the true example of a unique fresh artist, Zack Snyder. It was 2 years later, I watched the Sucker Punch teaser trailer and as anyone who knows me in high school can atest, I wrote "If you don't stand for something, you'll fall for anything." on nearly every surface I could before I saw Snyder once again work his magic in March 2011 with the SUCKER PUNCH FILM. Zack has left his mark on not only me, but cinema as a whole.

Mason Stewart
If he has actual ambitions he shouldn't spend them on fucking capeshit.
Alexander Wilson
Snyder isn't ambitious. He's not even trying to make good movies. He's using crap that real filmmakers, people who actually care about the medium, grow out of after they first start making movies.
Noah Walker

Easton Foster
>Elevate capeshit to high art. Actually you fucking pleb, Ang Lee did that in the early 2000s This shot has more cinematic grace than any capeshit flick thats been made since and its never been more relevant to the times assuming you understand it
Joshua Cruz
We both know you don't watch anything other than the latest blockbuster trash, so stop pretending you know what you're talking about.
John Cruz
The only good part of BvS was Supes struggling to fly while holding the spear of kryptonite. That whole willpower moment was genuinely well done.
That doesn't stop the movie from being a bloated hot mess of superfluous dream sequences, unclear motivation (outside of Batman) and poorly written characters.
Nathaniel Lee

His cinematography and visuals may be impressive, he just really sucks at even basic narrative logic, this is known.
That doesn't necessarily mean his products are flawed, it implies they're an acquired taste. Whether that taste be a good one there is no objective answer to.

Xavier Walker
I wonder if anyone on Sup Forums actually unironically likes Snyder? Not just likes him, but truly believes his films are high art? You can pretty much blame a few posts like OP's on meme shitposting and (you) farming, but is there anyone out there who let the meme go to their head?
Michael Bailey
>culturally bankrupt You're even dumber than I previously thought.
Embarrassing.
Owen Cruz
>capeshit is inherently childish Only sane post ITT
Nolan Walker
I know a few people irl that actually believe Snyder to be a visual genius.
Colton Barnes
I truly believe he creates high art. "Film" isn't the right term; his work is one where 'kino' truly fits. I 100% believe that, and I can prove that I am right as well.
Cameron Hernandez
>His cinematography and visuals may be impressive They really aren't though I guess the visuals are if you are in to the the Snyder style, have to give that
Jace Hughes
i think man of steel is a genuine masterpiece but i haven't seen bvs and i generally found his earlier work underwhelming

okay so prove it then
Landon Hall
Yeah can't stand it either Haven't even watched anything by Snyder after Watchmen, which to be honest was shit as well. 300 was okay
Parker Garcia
Watching plebs try to criticize his recent movies is always good for a laugh.
/film/ when? Hopefully gook moot will be smart enough to create an application process so we can keep these Sup Forums and Sup Forums children out.

I understand what you mean here, but I'm talking about the superhero ones like batman and watchmen
Adam Jones
I was really curious how they would justify a Super Nice Good Guy coming to blows with a Super Smart Good Guy.
It boiled down to a rom-com level misunderstanding and it was resolved about as unimpressively. Then the movie keeps going because it's so fucking bloated... just kill me.
I really wanted to like this movie senpai. I watched it last weekend after putting it off long enough and just... it was awful. Also making Lex Luthor into some kind of quirky millenial entrepeneur using literally Mark Zuckerberg's actor just had me cringing the whole time. He was meant to be the drop of levity in a "heavy" movie and he just fell flat on his face.
