  • I love dumb movies, especially B-Movies. I was genuinely rooting for these movies to be good. I've even been known to defend Zack Snyder....but even I can't defend these dumpster fires. They're not good, but they're also not entertainingly bad....they just exist. It's as if Zack went to a wholesale store, bought a pallet of bulk movie themes and tropes and smashed them together, threw in copious amounts of slo-mo and called it a day. I like Zack's visual style, but no amount of visuals can save the utter lack of story and character development in Rebel Moon Parts 1 or 2.

    I kept thinking about Snyder going to Subway for a sandwich and while they are preparing his order he's imagining them doing it in slow-motion, staring at them the entire time until they get creeped out and ask him not to come back. Whether that's due to boredom or cheap whiskey I cannot say.

      😂Now I'm picturing a "Dutch angle" slo-mo shot of someone shaking oregano on Zack's Italian B.M.T lol

      I won’t mention the frankenstein lens he used for The Army Of The Dead which made me feel like he had just gotten out of his first film class where he learned about Depth Of Field. He’s genuinely the ,often mentioned, kid bashing his figures together. He never evolved. People loved the speed ramping in 300 and he took it as people saying “DO NOTHING BUT THAT!”
      I would also like to point out I have TWO devastators in my advanced age and thankfully they never transformed into whatever Michael Bay created.

      @@loipcorssman Nice! Bay’s Devastator was so bad. Army Of The Dead was such a disaster. That movie is to visual dysfunction, what Tenet is to audio dysfunction 😂 I still need to buy a Devastator for my collection. Just bought a CIB Optimus, so Devastator might have to be next.

    Looked at the thumbnail, and just had to come say - don't do Costco like that man. This is more of a Dollar General brand.

      That is a fair point. Costco did not deserve a low blow like that. I don’t think Dollar General even does

      Thanks bud. I really did want to like these films. Zack needs to realize writing just isn't his strength, even Kubrick didn't write his best works.

      Same here 😂 Mostly because both films know exactly what they are and don’t try to be anything else….and they’re just good, dumb fun.

    I really don't get what hollywood sees in Zack Snyder...for him to make a decent film he needs a $400+ million budget and at least 4 hours screen time

      I don’t either. Especially when he’s best at telling 90 minutes of someone else’s stories instead 😂

    I’d argue he ISN’T a good visual storyteller.
    He creates a frame or a painting, but often telling you NOTHING.
    Like the grain in part two… AND part one now that I think about it.
    Superman hovering over a scared family with the sun setting behind him. Looks good, but what is it telling us? Superman is in no rush to save people who need it? He likes to mug for the camera? What? No, it’s saying NOTHING as most of it does, it just “looks cool”.
    I was a fan at the beginning. Dead was good, but missed the consumerism message Romero was saying.
    300 was beautiful, but Miller storyboarded and wrote it, so what’s his contribution?
    Watchmen, same as 300 but Gibbons and Moore did all the work and David Hayter took out the underlying message of the graphic novel.
    It’s NEVER been anything other than “looks cool” with Zack.
    Sucker Punch was his woman empowerment movie…. WHAT?! Cool looking, terrible story AND message to empower women.
    He LOVES making movies, but I don’t think he gets the point of them… at all.

      I’d agree. I wasn’t really referring to him crafting the story visually, just translating. I wanted to elaborate more but I already had to cut about 4 minutes of video out because it was getting way too long. It’s surprising how fast time goes by and the sacrifices you have to make, when trying to make a point, when you’re trying to keep something to 10 minutes 😂 He’s great at translating page to screen. That’s about it. He doesn’t know how to tell a story.

    • @ThePaladinJock
      @ThePaladinJock  20 дней назад +1

      I was actually thinking about doing a video at some point on visuals, that Superman shot being a good example, where at first it looks cool and then you think about it and it makes no sense. Working on a video looking at Empire with a modern eye and how silly some of the things are in that movie, tongue in cheek, but how we will overlook them because the storytelling is good whereas most recent films have zero story so we have all day to nitpick them.

      Zack and JJ should get together for a trilogy that is just slo-mo lens flares
