Edmilson 9,122 Posted July 9 Share Posted July 9 25 years after the first one and 16 years after the last one. It's more time than Toy Story 2 and 3 (11 years) and 3 and 4 (9 years). It's also more than between Finding Nemo and Finding Dory (13 years), Incredibles and Incredibles 2 (14 years) and Inside Out 1 and 2 (9 years). But less than Chicken Run 1 and 2 (23 years).

Marian Schedenig 9,151 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 I've never heard of it before. My first instinct was to say that whatever it is, it can only improve the quality of Bay's output, but after looking into it *very* briefly on YouTube, I guess it's just about on the same level as what Bay generally does.

Edmilson 9,122 Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 Snyder > Bay. The latter never did a movie as good as Dawn of the Dead or Watchmen. Sure, ZS was working with great source material, which makes me think how a Bay movie based on something decent, as opposed to the atrocious scripts for Pearl Harbor or Bad Boys 2 or one of the many TF movies, would fare. But Bay does have an advantage over Snyder: his action sequences, as chaotic as they are, at least appear to take place in the real world. Bay films his action scenes in real locations (like the desert from Transformers 2) and I do respect that. It makes his movies feel more real. Snyder's stuff all seem to take place in comfortable Hollywood sets with green screens everywhere (yeah, Bay also uses that, but you get my point). Movies like Man of Steel or Batman v Superman have this weird, fake, digital look that I think it's quite ugly. It may have worked for 300 (a movie I liked when I was a teen but I'm afraid to rewatch it as an adult) but for the others you can't escape the fakeness of how they all look.

I know it's got a political tinge (putting it lightly) but I thought 13 Hours was actually watchable from a Bay standpoint. It was like he looked at it and said "Hey, this is really confusing and chaotic, so maybe my job as a director should be to always make sure the audience knows what's happening." So, kind of the opposite of what he did in the Transformers movies. I know what you mean about Snyder's "digital look". We just watched Justice League. Even his scenes set in Smallville have this "artistically artificial" look. It has to be a choice. He likes it. I think there was a lot less of that in Man of Steel. Maybe because you had Nolan putting his thumb on the scale. Maybe because he wanted to contrast Krypton with the "real world". Who knows? I know how you feel about 300. I feel that way about The Rock, AKA the one Bay movie I mostly loved. I consider Armageddon to be one of the worst movies I've ever subjected myself to.

I think I did finish The Rock but it's been decades ago, so I don't reall recall. I thought The Island was really bad and I remember that I fell asleep during a big action scene in the city. I like Snyder's first 3 movies but he's a changed man now. His alternative for Star Wars that he's doing for Netflix is utter garbage. It looks really bad too.

Yeah, Man of Steel might be among Snyder's "least ugly" digital movies. But it still has that weird, artificial "fake" feeling. I remember when the movie came out someone did a color correction on YouTube, it looked way more "pleasing" to the eyes. 1 hour ago, Tallguy said: I know how you feel about 300. I feel that way about The Rock, AKA the one Bay movie I mostly loved. I consider Armageddon to be one of the worst movies I've ever subjected myself to. I saw 300 when I was 14, and it was the ideal movie for me at the time: sex, violence and blood galore! It seems to have been made for Snyder's ideal audience, i.e. edgy teens who think Superman and Spider-Man are "too nice" and want more gore (and sex). As an adult though... It looks kinda ridiculous. But I still have this nostalgic feeling for it. I saw The Rock way too many years after it was released and thought it was just okay. Not the action masterpiece many say it is. In a way, I think that movie is kinda similar to Independence Day: either you saw it in the 90s and loved it or you saw it later but didn't think it was too great because your vision was clouded by the numerous movies that came out in the years between that either immitated them or did something radically different. I liked the opening scene of Armageddon with all the meteors falling in NYC (?), but the rest of the movie was dreadfully boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Naïve Old Fart 10,523 Posted July 25 Popular Post Share Posted July 25 At least Bay's movies are not meant to be taken seriously. Snyder, on the other hand, thinks that he's putting something "meaningful" on screen. Both are firmly at the bottom of the cinema pile, but Bay knows it.
