Vader >>> Bane, of course.

But Bane is still an excellent villain.

No.

And it was just to say that one scene which isn't that bad, can have a frame where even a great actress acts bad, this also happened in a lot of great films.

You can't generalize on the entire career of a director/actor based on that.

I haven't said that what I am saying is the truth, or am I wrong? I criticized because Snyder is a bad director to me. I repeat if you like his style I don't care, good for you. It is also okay that if Batman1980 considers him a genius, but at least he argues why he considers him such I have explained why for me he is incapable (and not only under this post) of making any good film.

The mature and dark tone of his films is only given by the dark photography and the soothing soundtracks but in terms of content there is nothing mature in his films.

Speaking of violence and crudeness, there are directors who dare much more than he does to really show crude and violent things and without necessarily having to use emo depressed tones like BvS, give an example? Villneuve with Prisoners deals with the theme of violence and fear in a mature way without necessarily having to burden the film unnecessarily. Or Refn who in Drive shows you a man who, driven by his job, gets to kill and rot an innocent man in a robbery and even here without weighing everything down with dull colors and characters from an emo movie.

And these are just the first names that came to mind. Sucker Punch touches "social injustice" on this topic, without deepening it and without building anything on it to say in the same year Carpenter released The Ward, a film that always deals with mental illnesses and does it way better and that’s one of carpenters worst film.

Let's talk about his direction? Errors on framing errors, camera movements, carbon copies of things made by others, special effects staged in the best possible way, abuse of CGI and destruction. In short, an unsuccessful copy of Michael Bay but at least Bay knows he is not an author and never takes himself seriously and above all has the honor to get involved right away with new projects and not relying on works made by others by stealing as many. possible things. Even the Transformers before Bay did not care about it, no one arrives he puff magically everyone emulates him and everyone wants to do like him.

The political message in snyder film where? That Watchmen was born as a work of social and politically incorrect criticism and he defaced it with all the political sense, as it did with the dawn of the living dead.

Snyder is a TV spot director, who is specialized in making "gritty" and failed adaptations that are not loved by the general audience let alone by critics..

Or do you want me to show you lot of scenes where he does everything wrong? In the first scene of Watchmen, he breaks the 180 rule atleast two times.

This is my opinion, but of course i think most would agree that his films are just... bad.

Is it possible that there is a worse death scene than this?

Yes. The death of the audience of boredom from Nolan's movies.

I like Nolan's films, but Tenet is not one of em and ^that was what I was begging myself to do... The frustration of such a good concept gone to waste that kept me up sitting through that chore of a film.

I could make a long and detailed, post with every single of my arguments but I am realizing you are not worth the time.

Prove it.

Prove that Snyder is capable of directing great scenes or has anything substantial to be a great director. But since, I'm afraid this argument does not exist.

Let’s start with something simple, shall we? You say you are more than knowledgeable m enough to make technical or directing analysis, so let’s start with that.



Do you think this scene is edited well, and the CGI is used well?

Couldn't agree more with you about Tenet. I thought it was "okay", like, I grapsed the concept of what it was trying to put across on first viewing, it wasn't really a mind melter for me. I did find it way too long and I didn't care about any of the characters. I wouldn't have cared if the bad guys won. The best part was the credits.
