nightscape94 965 Posted March 14, 2017 Share Posted March 14, 2017 The Wonder Woman trailer(s) have been the best in all of the DCU. This is the first one of their movies that I actually want to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A24 4,331 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Maybe there was only a small budget? Maybe they still have to animate the sets? Even then, look at how close the camera is to the characters. There's simply no room for anything else. It feels like TV from the old days. This is Snyder's last job for DC, right?

I just checked IMDB and Larry Fong isnt the guy shooting this, and I guess that's the problem. I wonder if we overestimated Snyder and the real visual genius was Fong instead. Batman v Superman looked a lot better than Man Of Steel because Fong shot that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, I suspected Larry Fong was the real genius behind Snyder for some time now. Then again, if he's not working for Snyder, you hardly recognize that it's Fong. In fact, you don't recognize Fong at all. Very strange ... Maybe Snyder thought it was time for something else? In any case, for now, JL doesn't look very appealing.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Well than it's Snyder and Fong together that make a great team. While on their own they are just average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crumbs 14,306 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Snyder does realise he's shooting a MOVIE, right? This looks like made-for-TV schlock. Every actor is clearly standing in front of green screens, the close-ups are WAY too close with no breathing room in the framing, and every shot is composed with such short lenses that everything except the actors is out of focus. Makes it damn hard to get immersed in the world of your movie when the cinematography is as flat and generic as this. And yes, it really just makes whatever "sets" they had feel low-budget and fake, because they're obviously hiding all the digital enhancement with short depth of field. Snyder has zero comprehension of building cinematic geography these days. What the hell happened to the moderately competent director who made Dawn of the Dead? He seems to have abandoned all substance in favor of CGI-enhanced style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted March 26, 2017 Share Posted March 26, 2017 Snyder's visual approach with BVS was confusing, much like the rest of the film. It went from realistic and boring or stylish to a kind of "living comic book" which Snyder seemed best suited for, then back to realistic and boring or stylish. This looks too "realistic" aside from the CGI. Did any of that make sense? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
