I like Zach Snyder, but he does tend to go a little too dark; snapping necks, shooting Jimmy Olsen in the head, etc… So if Joss tempers things and brings a lighter tone, so much the better. I think Justice League will be great. Rogue One and World War Z went through similar transitions and both turned out to be good movies. And of course, look at Wonder Woman, which gives Zach Snyder a shared writer’s credit.

I had no problem with any of the stuff you didn’t like. The one thing I for one don’t want is Justice League “light”. As for Wonder Women……it was basically a straight forward non controversial movie. Let’s hope that JL doesn’t fall into that same area.

I agree. I didn’t think Man of Steel was that controversial but it was clear that Dawn of Justice was terrible. He made the plot to complicated and with all the blown secret identities and the unnecessary carnage I just wanted to scream at Snyder. Zach Snyder did do some things right but mostly wrong. Besides it would be a great honor for him to lead two Superhero franchises to the promised land.

Man of Steel was an excellent film. Dawn of Justice was good, but IMO, too complicated for the average movie goer. I loved the film and have watched it many times over, even before the UE – I didn’t need the UE to explain things to me – if you paid attention during the movie everything was right there and made sense and it was a good story. Snyder respects his audience and trusts them to figure things out rather than treating them like children and spoon feeding them all of the information. I’m with redcape, I don’t want “light”,… Read more »
