Can you get my message. With Snyder, its either mediocre reviews or under performing films at the box office.
All I see is you downplaying the few successes of a hardworking director just so you can sound intelligent. And it's not working.
Snyder might have some failures, but he has also had successes. 300 is one of my best action movies of all time. Watchmen is an awesome superhero movie to many people I know. Are you the only person with access to Snyder's track record? If he was as horrible as you're portraying him, do you think WB would have hired him?

60% on RT means mediocre reviews: almost same situation with MOS
I call bs on this , most 60% reviews on rt aren't mediocre a lot of great movies have had 60 % or less on rt, if rt was the gold standard on how good a movie is then , a lot of movies are trash

The Watchmen that is an awesome movie to many people, how much did it make at the BO. Why didn't that "same many people" pay to see it at the cinemas and as a result increase its BO office earnings. And thank God you used the word "you" when referring to 300. Because you liked it does not mean others did.

Blade runner is considered one of the greatest sci-fi movies ever made, yet when it came out it couldn't make its budget back, the amount a movie makes at the box office doesn't determine how good it is, BTW watchmen was a GOOD movie , but Zack sunder literally took the scenes out of the comics and made them a little too real, bit pple still love it

You're just proving him right, the fact you didn't enjoy BvS or synders work doesn't mean others do not enjoy them. Besides, the way you keep hammering on rotten tomatoes and box office to determine how good a movie is seems overemphasized to me. There are movies that bombed at the box office but are well acclaimed by the critics. There are also movies that did well at the box office but condemned by critics. Our enjoyment of movie is subjective which is usually based on what we expect from a movie or the surprises such movie bring with it. Thus, if you keep letting box office, rotten tomatoes and critics to dictate movies for you, you may end up not seeing any movie.
Besides, critics criticize to remain relevant,thus, they may be wrong at times.(cloud atlas, blade runner, saw comes to mind).

It's becoming tiring that people keep criticizing the tone of synders movie or his style. I'm very sure if Christopher Nolan due to his antecedent had presented this same synders BvS, critics and fans would have end up praising him perhaps for the tonal and vision differences from McU, just as they are praising Dunkirk right now. it seems some people after seeing a movie are waiting for what critics have to say before they decide on their own opinion about a movie. I guess most people were used to the conventional humour laden and action packed marvel superhero movies ( since avengers and some other marvel movies came out before any of the DCeU movies), thus they find a more serious superhero movie to be boring. When I first saw the the theatric version of BvS I found it to be bad, I was expecting more since I found man of steel to be a solid start for Dceu. But when I got to see the ultimate edition, I had to swallow some of the terrible things I said about the movie. I'm sure wb have learnt their lesson for distorting a director's vision for a movie. I guess they felt an over 3 hours movie will stop normal cinema goer from seeing a movie, maybe they fail to see the success Lords of the rings trilogy had even though it's over 3h. As for me, I enjoyed Snyder's philosophical approach to superhero movies rather than the conventional straight to action approach. For now, his movie may look shitty to some people, but with time more people will get to appreciate it ( just as people have come to appreciate 13th warrior, fight club, Shawshank redemption etc), movies like avengers(MCU fans pardon me) will become watered-down, just like the earlier Superman movies. But I agree that every other DCeu superhero movies should not have the same tone with man of steel and BvS. Flash, green lantern, Shazam can have a lighter tone, but i don't expect a movie on Batman to be anything drained down with side jokes, in fact warner bros will be shooting themselves on the leg. Nolan has already shown us what a batman movie should be. The only reason wonder woman got away with this is because there is no female superhero movie to serve as a yardstick.

If James Cameron can learn things from Zack's work and can also praised his work, then I don't need any critics approval to determine if his works are good or bad.
For me, Zack is definitely occupying 3rd position for the best modern director off all time. James Cameron 1st, Peter Jackson 2nd and Zack 3rd. hate my ranking or not....thats my opinion. I called them "THE TRINITY"
Pls wake me when James praises any of MCU's director...lol

it underperformed because of the potential it had with a massive opening weekend 116m usd same with homecoming but managed to rally about 200+ in d us b.o ..... Come 200 + from an opening weekend of 116m is disappointing

I am tired of this thread already, everyone just making point that don't make sense, synder is a good director , yes his foray into comic book movies hasn't been successfully, but that doesn't make him a bad director, and judging a director or actor by his Oscar wins or rotten tomato score is just ignorant. Movies are made to entertain people and make money, movie execs don't really care if you enjoy the movie or not ,they care about the money, synder makes them money, and he hasn't made a movie that didn't make money, you know why, because he is a good movie-maker
