Trying to watch the director’s cut of Rebel Moon 1 (giving up after ten minutes), I was struck with how much Zack Snyder’s slick but unoriginal style of shooting as well as his total lack of sense of pacing, plot and characters while relentlessly copying elements from the works of better directors and writers (in case of Rebel Moon, George Lucas), how all those elements that make a movie Zack Snyder-y, are almost exactly the same elements that are present in AI slop that tries to be cool and cinematic. In that sense, Snyder actually predicted the rise of AI slop cinema, which we will likely see more and more of in the coming years.
Hm, 300 and dawn of the dead are cool.
Snyder made the same soft-core porn twice. “SuckerPunch” for straight guys and “300” for gay men.
When he has solid source material to work with and he doesn’t get the liberty to stray away from it too much, he usually makes good stuff. But that’s pretty much it. Stuff he makes on his own are usually bad.
Dawn of the dead was alright, but the original was much better
Yup.
