Re: Star Wars: Episode VII (12/18/15) Discussion Thread
Well i dont like 300 but Watchmen is a pretty impressive adaptation (save for those fight who were too sexy and stylized but hey he had to do it or the studios would have said no). Unlike Rodriguez, he directed a movie did not just mimick panels.
I like his directing style but he must stay the **** away from scripts.
Suckerpunch was like the first comic book of an aspiring artist, the guy put everything he loved in all the comics he read.
At least he got these images out of his head he wont do it again. It still has some quite impressive shots.
Directing wise MOS was cool (too much handheld stuff tho sometimes), its far from perfect but its less boring for me than all the marvel stuff who are well done but "been there already seen that" feel is getting bigger movie after movies.
Guardian is quite impressive visually, the flight scenes are really cool, the story was boring but tone was too weird and scary for kids.
On something like Star Wars he would not be let loose, and will have to follow the producers wishes.
I like his visual style, DOTD was the perfect mash between his stylized shots (slow mo etc) and a more classical style.
He's the only director that know how to perfectly iconize his characters, but yeah looks like he would kill an idea for a cool shot or scene wich is annoying.
He needs to get back to this and stay away from the script!!!
Now he's no hack, he frame his shot, do his own storyboards.
Hacks for me are guys like those behind the winter soldier or Iron Man who do **** actually and leave most the job to the cinematographer or storyboard/previz artists (just check Federico D'Alessandro animatics for marvels movies and you will see that he's the guy who actually direct the movies for marvel).
To their credits, that the Marvel way, even Gunn on Guardians had to follow the rules and basically directed only the comedy scenes.
Yes, I know Snyder did campaign for a Superman movie, well actually he campaigned for a Batman movie, Warners wouldn't do it but said he could reboot Superman, good job he made of it too.
Keep Snyder away from Star Wars. Why? Because he is a cheesy hack of a director, who can not originate his own material, the best pure directing gig he did was Dawn of of The Dead (a remake of sorts) everything else was a frame by frame copy/interpretation (Watchmen, 300) or a complete disaster (Suckerpunch, MOS, Guardians of Owl's Ass) and I happen to care about Star Wars.
Erm, that was a joke? How could a Snyder prop have been seen in the OT?

But that's not to say that you can't more easily isolate an object when it's painted a consistent and contrasting color.
