Zack Snyder to direct next Superman film
http://heatvision.hollywoodreporter....medium=twitter
Nolan and Zack Snyder, definitely an interesting team. There are already rumors now that Zod is going to be the villain. I have to say I'm excited that it "appears" they aren't going to go totally out of left field and do something stupid and out of character for Superman. |
I wish Affleck would have taken the gig but he declined.
I'm not a fan of Snyder's films. |
Watchmen SUCKED. 300 is a fun movie, but only because it's so utterly ridiculous. Hopefully Nolan can keep it all in check.
|
I enjoyed Watchmen. I have zero knowledge of the comic series though.
I guess I have been surprised by the negative reaction online. A lot of "slow mo Superman" jokes. But I don't think he'll do this movie exactly like 300. We'll see. I just want someone to do it right. Don't get cute and change everything to be gritty or emo, don't cop out and say he's too much of a boy scout... take something that resembles the Superman character of the last 70+ years and make a great film. It can be done. |

You didn't like the random tits and awkward eff scene in a giant owl ship?

I'm a huge fan of the Watchmen comic, and I can't get through the movie. I've tried to sit and watch it numerous times, but I just can't get through it. It's too long, too boring. There's little to no real character development, focuses way too much on visuals instead of storyline, and has really terrible acting.
Yuck. |

Even still, the Watchmen film is the best comic book movie yet made, IMO. As for acting: Malin Akerman wasn't good, and Matthew Goode wasn't believable as a physical presence. The other performances, however, were quite good. Patrick Wilson & Jeffrey Dean Morgan totally got their characters, and Billy Crudup & Jackie Earl Haley totally knocked their performances out of the park. |
I thought Haley and Morgan were great, Crudup was good, but I wasn't a fan of anyone else.
And it's not so much the length that I had a problem with, but the way the scenes seemed to drag on or not add to the storyline. |
OMG! Nolan, Snyder AND General Zod is the villain! I can hardly contain my enthusiasm over this! Effing FANTASTIC!
|
I live Snyder's films I enjoy them alot I am a huge fan of the watchmen comic & the film. I hope there is a atleast a comedian or a rorschach movie in the future
|
OK, who is going to be Zod?
|
Funny stuff

Not sure how i feel about it yet. Snyder has talent, but IMO has turned into a CGI bore. General Zod as a villian is an interesting choice. Why couldnt they try a villian who hasnt been done before on the big screen like Bizzaro or Brainiac?

****. I'm agreeing with Reaper on something. While The Crow will always be my sentimental favorite, I thought Watchmen was amazing. Dark Knight isn't even in the same ballpark. Frankly, I don't think Dark Knight was as good as Batman Begins or either of the Keaton Batman movies.
|
I don't like it. Snyder is all style over substance. 300 and Watchmen are both soulless eye-candy. Off of the list from the end of September, he was the guy I wanted the least. Although maybe if it ends up with a melding of the heart and emotion of Nolan's films with Snyder's artistic style and eye for action, then maybe it will be worth it. Otherwise we're going to end up with a long, pretty Superman movie that under the shiny plastic surface is cold and dull.

I loved Ledger's joker. About a trillion times better than Nicholson's.
:Poke: |

The ending was true to the spirit of Batman. I disagree re: convolution of plot, especially when you compare it to Watchmen. Maggie Gyllenhaal's looks are irrelevant to the actual film. Ledger's joker was gritty and realistic within the context of the universe. Sorry you don't agree, because it was really quite good. |

Watchmen, while well made is a dour, depressing and too drawn out flick. But thats more the source material than Snyder.
Ironically, it reminded me of Singers Superman a little.....too depressing. |

As for Singer's SUperman - I still can't believe how bad it was, considering the level of talent involved. What a horrible story. |
Quote:
As for Watchmen, it is just inconceivable to me that you don't like it. |
Quote:
However, I 100% agree with your take on Maggie Gyllenhaal. Good god she is a hideous creature. :Lin: |

As far as Dark Knight goes, I just like the movie, although I don't think it's some kind of religious experience or high point in cinema. I just enjoyed the sum of the parts. Everything worked for me and I'm enthusiastic to see the final act of the trilogy. |
I loved Watchmen. I loved The Dark Knight more. I have confidence in Snyder. I have complete, total, ****ing, undying faith in Nolan. I don't give a shit about Superman.

In what way is Watchmen better then TDK TDK Has betting Acting better directing a more coherent storyline it even has production values. |

They better not **** this up again, because Supes is the only Superhero that makes feel like a little kid rooting for his icon.
|
I'll be very excited to see if anyone is able to make Superman relavent and/or even interesting again. He's a product of such a specific time and place.

People have a hardtime rooting for a character when he will just throw stuff out in to space at the end of every movie or turn back time by spining aounrd the planet. |
That's definately part of it.
But I also think the focus has always been on the wrong aspects of the character and his impact on the world around him. When those issues have been bridged in the past, it's been fairly superficial; quickly giving way to spectical. |

How is it that the TV show has lasted 10 years then? Surely a fresh take that people would enjoy can be done somehow? |

I just wasn't sure why he was trying to get into a dick-measuring contest over how many times he's seen watchmen... :shrug: I've seen Dark Knight 4 times! Yeah, well, I've seen Watchmen 327.6 times!!eleven Okay dude, whatever makes you happy. LMAO |
I'm pissed that I actually bought Dark Knight on blu ray. I'll never watch it again.
|
Batman Begins > The Dark Knight > Watchmen > 300

I don't think it's impossible to find an innovative take on the character. But it'll be difficult. There's a reason why Singer's vision wasn't well recieved. Especially over-seas. |

My problem has been that the whole movie tells you that the Joker is, in fact, anarchy. He is the king of it. He just "does". Just goes with the flow. Yet, if you look at the anarchy he creates, it's all expertly planned and executed. If it's planned, it isn't anarchy. |

Plus . . . it's a movie. I'm not sitting there breaking down Dr. Manhattan because it's not a feasible scenario. |
Quote:
Sure, but Nolan isn't. Which is why it's the perfect pairing for Superman. |
I liked The Dark Knight over Watchman, because the Dark Knight required more creativity than Watchmen did. I mean, I love both movies, but Watchmen was basically a frame for frame rendition of the comic (for the most part), whereas the Dark Knight was a modern reinvention which set a new bar for the genre.
I don't know how anybody can't appreciate Ledger's joker. My appreciation for it has nothing to do with his death, but for my take on superhero films. What makes or breaks superhero films are the villains. There's a fine line between being over the top and unbelievable and being over the top while still maintining the audiences suspension of disbelief. I think Ledger (with help from Nolan) stayed on the correct side of that line. Nicholson's joker was fine for the 80. But let's face it - that was a Tim Burton movie. F*** Tim Burton. |
