Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead (Netflix's zombie heist movie) - Page 3 - Blu-ray Forum

Man of Steel is his masterpiece, IMO. He would've made Justice League the right way too, if events had transpired differently during the production.

He's put out some solid films (Watchmen, 300) but lol @ "visionary".

Not the biggest Snyder fan, but I'm intrigued by this.

I am excited for this.

Yeah it was good yet the running zombies... Not a fan of.

Okay, I'm in.

That and The Last Photograph, but I suspect those are much harder to get financing for than a zombie flick.

I don't think Snyder is interested in zombies for the scares, but rather the setting/milieu.

Most zombie movies don't take place in Vegas / have to recreate Vegas. I imagine the location is a big reason for the higher budget.

Yay...Zombies...cause that hasn't been done to death the past few years...

Yes.. VISIONARY!

Nobody was doing visuals like he was before he was doing it. He may not have invented CGI, but he made some great use of it and applied it to storytelling that people have been copying since. Watchmen, 300, and Man of Steel are great examples of that.

BrightBurn practically copies MoS' cinematography.

Batman1980 · 01-30-2019, 08:07 PM

Who else would've made MoS, B v S, Sucker Punch, cast an Israeli model as Wonder Woman or plucked a B-list GoT 1 season star as Arthur Curry? Not to mention making the unfilmable Watchmen into a perfect film?

I loved all Snyder Films and the Dawn of the Dead was awesome. Looking forward of this movie.

Just like TWD.

So...apparently zombies rape human women in this film. That's a thing.

Some people just really can't read the climate of modern day society.

The Debts · 01-31-2019, 03:45 PM

Much as I like Snyder, his fans are full blown psychotic fanatics. I can't look his name up on Twitter without being terrified at what I see, as if I'm a protagonist in a Lovecraft story.

It won't be. The rape stuff has long since been removed. That was revealed in 2011 from the attached director at the time by the way.

You can see that interview, which reveals more info about the film here:

I'd say 300 was the very definition of visionary...
