A24 4,327 Posted August 7, 2016 Share Posted August 7, 2016 This video makes a valid point. In fact, you might say it lays bare the very root of the problem. A must-see for all Zack haters ... Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Just take a moment to appreciate how untimely it was releasing a Batman movie where Batman shoots a bunch of people with automatic weapons. That fucking guy's video didn't even use the original E.T. moon shot. Putz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did you watch the entire video and really understand what was said? It's very specific about Zack Snyder's cinematic style and how it so-called forms the core problem for all his movies. It's not applicable to most other movies or 'blockbusters in general' because they are not obsessed with trying to make every shot iconic and unforgettable. This is not about spectacular set pieces or CGI battles (they impress to but in a different way). I really acknowledge what he's saying about Zack Snyder but to me it's not a problem per se. I think it works wonderful in 300 and Watchmen where Snyder is pushing things through (his obsession, that is) a 100% of the time. For DC, Zack is holding back. It's like they asked a filmmaker who wants to paint unforgettable 'wow' shots/moments to make a normal movie where the story and characters prevail and artistry itself disappears (in favour of story and characters). So I do recognize what The Nerdwriter is saying but I don't think it's always a bad thing. After all, 2001: A Space Odyssey is pure visual obsession. In fact, it's so obsessed that millions of people have a problem with it. Its so-called flaw? It wants to create unforgettable moments. Whether Snyder reaches the same level as Kubrick is a different discussion. Alex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted August 8, 2016 Share Posted August 8, 2016 Obviously Snyder isn't making the films he'd like to make, he's playing it safe. Staying in his comfort zone. He doesn't want to make these comic book movies. Must be saving up for a super yacht. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nick1Ø66 4,689 Posted October 8, 2016 Share Posted October 8, 2016 We've been catching up on all the summer blockbuster we missed, and recently watched this for the first time (the UE). While it's obviously flawed, I was surprised how much I enjoyed it given the negative fan reaction. I'm beginning to realise that I'm probably in the very small minority who really like the look at tone of the DC Universe. Don't get me wrong, they still have things they could learn from Marvel/Disney in terms of Universe building, but in general I'm enjoying what they're doing. They're just trying too hard to play catch up. But I think I enjoyed BvS more than Civil War (pretty good) and X-Men Apocalypse (fairly lame). Either way, Marvel/Disney and DC are way ahead of where FOX/X-Men is in their story telling. I think the last of the big summer tentpoles I haven't seen is ID4:R, which I'll check out soon.

The UE cut is much much much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quintus 5,399 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Sod it I'm gonna have to watch that this week if possible. It's not overly long is it? Does it feel natural or is there a sense of plodding bloat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 Where have you been? The extended cut is 3 hours long. The theatrical is 2,5 hours. Both contain bloat. But if you are gonna watch it I would advise the extended version. Which tells the same story, but better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why are all these heroes fighting each other while they are all still friends? At least the conflict in BvS felt real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A24 4,327 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 They are fighting each other because comic book fans love seeing who would win. That's the sort of questions that keeps them busy. It's very juvenile ... and messy. I fear that JL will suffer of the same pointless duels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted October 9, 2016 Author Share Posted October 9, 2016 You know a film is pointless when two of the characters fighting each other have this sort of exchange.

Jay 37,323 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Quint the 3 hour cut is so much better at telling it's story it's by far the one to watch, even for a first time. It is indeed long, but there's a good spot to pause it for a little intermission. It's one scene after a big car chase sequence roughly halfway through.

BloodBoal 7,538 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 Regardless of the lenght, it's better to watch the DC simply because it makes more sense than the theatrical cut, which had major plot points poorly explained or developed.

A24 4,327 Posted October 9, 2016 Share Posted October 9, 2016 It's what everyone says. That's why I still expected the extended cut (is it a DC?) to be a mess but much to my surprise Snyder made a very focused movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
