Zack Snyder was ahead of his time, but not in a good way
Trying to watch the director's cut of Rebel Moon 1 (giving up after ten minutes), I was struck with how much Zack Snyder's slick but unoriginal style of shooting as well as his total lack of sense of pacing, plot and characters while relentlessly copying elements from the works of better directors and writers (in case of Rebel Moon, George Lucas), how all those elements that make a movie Zack Snyder-y, are almost exactly the same elements that are present in AI slop that tries to be cool and cinematic. In that sense, Snyder actually predicted the rise of AI slop cinema, which we will likely see more and more of in the coming years.

Lot of words to say zack snyder makes dogshit .
😂😂
I liked "The Watchmen", but yea, everything else he did is low quality.
I hate "Man of Steel". He made Superman a cop, and the climax is eleven nine-elevens in Metropolis.
Hm, 300 and dawn of the dead are cool.
Snyder made the same soft-core porn twice. "SuckerPunch" for straight guys and "300" for gay men.
Dawn of the dead was alright, but the original was much better
Yup.
When he has solid source material to work with and he doesn’t get the liberty to stray away from it too much, he usually makes good stuff. But that’s pretty much it. Stuff he makes on his own are usually bad.
yeah but. the source material is in a different league.
I think Synder is just following in the grand artistic tradition of Michael Bay.
They were actually class mates at a film school that emphasized visual art over storytelling. Tarsem Singh too.
Now I want to find, and burn down, that film school. For the good of humanity.
Tarsem Singh at least has talent
Slop was trained on the stuff Snyder did and inspired.
Rebel Moon was Star Wars fanfic Disney refused to let him make, so he slightly rethemed the story.
AI Slop is the best description for Rebel Moon!
I mean they probably trained the AIs off his work, so it’s more like Snyder is the AI’s daddy.
Watchmen, Dawn of the dead & 300 are good but snapping necks superman kind of out of character lol
While visually they might be good Snyder has a very surface level of understanding of the Watchmen. Dawn of the Dead was OK and the source material for 300 was just shitty writing by Frank Miller.
I worry that the man is mentally disturbed
I read an interview with him. He talks about how he had a Fortnite addiction until his wife made him quit and take up pottery. He talks about his brother dying when Zack was in middle school and how much it affected him.
I’m convinced his brother’s death emotionally stunted him and he’s really a middle school kid, emotionally, with enough adult intelligence to make movies.
Pretty sure Rebel Moon was written with AI, yes
