Haha speak for yourself :)

I've learned over the years that the most important single factor in whether a film turns out to be bad, mediocre, good, or great is the director. I've learned my lesson with Zach Snyder. He's not terrible, but I'm definitely not paying theatre prices to see anything he does unless the reviews are crazy good.

His major films :

2004 Dawn of the Dead (this was okay) 75% RT

2007 300 (the trailer was better than the film. Also, the slow motion.) 60% RT

2009 Watchmen (this was okay, but the only character I cared about at all was Rorschach.) 65% RT

2010 Legend of the Guardians (didn't see it, got mediocre reviews) 50% RT

2011 Sucker Punch (cool visuals, terribad film) 23% RT

2013 Man of Steel (I really wanted this to be good. It had elements of great things, but felt too muddled, and that long Superman vs Zod mess at the end along with some pretty sketchy CG kind of killed it for me. Better than Superman Returns at least.) 56% RT

Reviews don't mean everything to me, I've certainly enjoyed more than a few films that didn't get high marks. But in general I do think that a great director is ALMOST always (the exceptions prove the rule) a killer indication of how good the product will be. Factors like budget, actors, script, etc all are important, but none more so than the guy in the chair.

Let's compare a couple of other directors :

Affleck :

Gone Baby Gone (awesome, highly recommended) 94% RT

The Town (awesome action/crime flick, kind of like a slightly less epic Heat set in Boston) 93% RT

Argo (well done imho) 96% RT

Nolan :

Memento 92%

Insomnia 92%

Batman Begins 85%

The Prestige 76%

The Dark Knight 94%

Inception 86%

The Dark Knight Rises 87%

Now again, I don't 100% agree with each of those ratings, but in general it does hold up in regards to how great directors make generally decent to great films, and medicre directors make meh to decent films.

:D

I'm sceptical about this movie too, Suicide squad looks to be like the better movie thou...


Suicide Squad is ruined thanks to the casting decision of Will Smith as Deadshot.

Doomsday looks terrible, I´m still not conviced by Ben Affleck´s Batman and Lex Luthor was meh.

I´m still going to watch it because I belive is going to be at the very least a good movie but this trailer wasn´t great, it was ok.


We have more reason to have faith in Affleck as he has proven he can act, and he is known to be a comic book geek. In other words, we have a rate instance where the Batman actor actually knows his character and the source material.

Well that just dropped the biggest friggin spoiler on the whole internet. Lucky I don't care enough about this to be pissed about being spoiled. But seriously, throwing out that Frankenstein's monster spoiler pretty much gives us the final piece of the movie puzzle that lets us more or less fill in all the blanks to make going to see the movie totally unnecessary, except as a visual spectacle. But I guess the studio doesn't think dropping that sort of spoiler is going to harm box office takings at all, and they are probably right.

I actually really like what they've done with Lex Luther. 

I like Ben Affleck as an actor. I think there are some characters he can;t pull off very well, especially to cocky smarmy ones. But if he plays Bruce / Batman in a way that works I think he can be a very credible replacement for Christian Bale. If he makes his Batman persona the sort of frivolous lady's man of the Bale rendition I don;t think Affleck could pull it off. But fortunately it seems like they want to distance this Bruce from the Bale version of Bruce, which would make Affleck's Bruce more suited to Affleck's acting sweet spot.

Not really liking the Wonder Woman outfit. I think she should have a Xena Warrior Princess type leather skirt. I mean this is pretty hot and badass at the same time right?

And another one. Hot and badass. Leather skirts FTW!
