whether you're a fan or you're looking
[1]
to get acquainted with zack snyder's
[3]
movies here's where to start and which
[5]
releases you might want to avoid
[7]
here's visionary director zack snyder's
[9]
films ranked from worst to best
[11]
sucker punch follows a young woman
[13]
placed in a mental institution by her
[14]
stepfather who copes with her
[16]
imprisonment by slipping into fantasy
[17]
worlds that may or may not actually be
[19]
real
[20]
sucker punch was the first film snyder
[21]
directed with an original concept and it
[23]
looks like he learned his lesson to
[24]
never do that again
[26]
critics had many issues with the film
[27]
including its over-sexualized female
[29]
characters and convoluted mess of a plot
[32]
veteran film critic richard roper summed
[33]
up the feelings of many of his peers
[35]
calling it
[36]
an indecipherable hypocritical mess that
[38]
proves you can fill a movie with
[39]
scantily clad women with big guns and it
[41]
can still bore one to tears
[43]
sucker punch has often been unfavorably
[45]
compared to christopher nolan's
[46]
inception which arrived in theaters a
[48]
year prior
[49]
they're both sci-fi thrillers that tell
[50]
stories involving realities within
[52]
realities
[53]
you mustn't be afraid to dream a little
[54]
bigger darling
[63]
perhaps snyder shouldn't have followed
[64]
this advice while inception went on to
[66]
become a huge hit that left a lasting
[68]
impression
[68]
sucker punch ranks as some of snyder's
[70]
least satisfying work
[72]
batman vs superman dawn of justice was
[74]
the first superhero team up for the dc
[76]
eu
[77]
but it hardly matched the success of the
[78]
biggest comics crossover at that point
[80]
the mcu's first avengers movie from
[82]
2012. in addition to bringing back man
[84]
of steel star henry cavill is superman
[86]
dawn of justice
[87]
introduced ben affleck as bruce wayne
[89]
aka batman and gal gadot is diana prince
[92]
aka wonder woman
[94]
on paper it was an answer to dc fans
[96]
prayers and seemed poised to be one of
[97]
2016's biggest films
[99]
unfortunately the movie just didn't live
[101]
up to its hype he was absolutely dragged
[103]
by critics who were put off by its
[104]
scattered story among other things
[106]
christy putchko of cbr wrote to call it
[109]
ridden with plot holes would be a
[110]
disservice to plot holes
[112]
these are plot caverns what are some of
[114]
these holes you ask
[115]
well how about this why can't superman
[117]
always be there to save lois in a matter
[119]
of seconds but not his mother
[121]
how did lex luthor know how to create
[122]
doomsday why did superman call his
[124]
mother by her name when battling it out
[126]
with batman
[128]
why did you say that dad
[131]
martha why did you say that name
[134]
please stop you get the point and if
[137]
you've seen dawn of justice you could
[138]
probably add half a dozen of your own
[140]
in addition to the plot issues those who
[142]
reviewed the film agreed that the movie
[144]
was oversaturated and stuffed with 45
[146]
minutes of unnecessary extra content
[148]
the film still did decently at the box
[150]
office bringing in over 873 million
[152]
dollars worldwide although moviegoers
[154]
appreciated it more than
[156]
critics based on the guardians of gohul
[158]
book series
[159]
2010's legends of the guardians the owls
[161]
of gewool mark zack snyder's first
[163]
and to date last stab at directing an
[165]
animated feature when it came to the
[167]
voice cast he got himself off to a
[168]
pretty good start helen mirren jeffrey
[170]
rush jim sturgis hugo weaving and sam
[173]
neil
[173]
all lent their voices to the film which
[175]
was praised for the work of its cast in
[176]
addition to its stunning visuals
[178]
betsy sharkey of the los angeles times
[180]
wrote the animation itself is
[182]
startlingly beautiful
[183]
as is the ancient owl world it imagines
[185]
the battles are complex and a true
[187]
snyder tradition heavy on the action
[189]
while many critics agreed that the owls
[191]
of gahool is easy on the eyes they still
[193]
had some issues with the film
[194]
chiefly that the story was a little too
[196]
dark and unsettling for the children at
[198]
whom it seemed intended to entertain
[200]
zack snyder's first foray into what
[202]
would become the dceu
[203]
came with 2013's man of steel which also
[206]
debuted henry cavill as superman
[208]
it marked the long-awaited return of the
[210]
superman franchise after a long time
[211]
away
[212]
but absence didn't make critics hearts
[214]
too much fonder they were divided on the
[216]
film
[216]
some argued that caval's portrayal of
[218]
the classic character lacked emotional
[220]
depth
[220]
while others said that clark kent and
[222]
lois lane love story was dull and
[224]
unconvincing
[225]
most reviews in the movie made sure to
[226]
note that it was a decent albeit deeply
[228]
flawed effort
[229]
a classic case of a film that might have
[231]
been great with a few important changes
[233]
christopher orr of the atlantic wrote
[235]
there's plenty to like in snyder's
[236]
hectic rowdy film
[238]
but by the time we reach the bludgeoning
[239]
excesses of the last half hour it's hard
[241]
to shake the sense that this was an
[243]
opportunity at least partially missed
[245]
zack snyder's second directing credit
[247]
came with 2006's 300 an adaptation of
[250]
frank miller's graphic novel of the same
[252]
name
[252]
a fantasized telling of the battle of
[254]
thermopylae 300 is a visual masterpiece
[256]
and that goes beyond gerard butler's abs
[259]
critics were generally kind to 300 with
[261]
many praising snyder's eye for a
[263]
dazzling scene in butler's performance
[265]
as king leonidas
[266]
some on the other hand like roger ebert
[268]
of the chicago sun times thought the
[269]
adaptation was just a macho action movie
[271]
with no layers
[272]
as he put it 300 has one dimensional
[274]
caricatures who talk like professional
[276]
wrestlers plugging their next feud
[278]
the movie wasn't taken too seriously
[280]
which is appropriate since 300 was never
[282]
intended to be an accurate retelling of
[284]
history
[284]
some critics got this and accepted 300
[287]
for what it was
[289]
this is sparta paul arndt of the bbc
[297]
for example argued that taken on its own
[299]
terms as greek myth meets looney tunes
[301]
it's kind of a masterpiece
[303]
the movie made a killing in the
[304]
worldwide box office bringing in over
[306]
456 million dollars worldwide and set
[309]
the tone for the type of hyper-stylized
[310]
spectacle snyder would gravitate toward
[312]
in the years to come
[314]
zack snyder's 2009 watchman adaptation
[316]
based on the classic dc comics limited
[318]
series from the 80s boasts a stellar
[320]
cast who plays a retired group of
[322]
superheroes who re-emerge after the
[323]
mysterious death of one of their own
[325]
another visual masterpiece from snyder
[327]
watchmen prompted praise from critics
[329]
impressed by the director's ability to
[330]
capture the striking aesthetic of the
[332]
watchmen comics and bring it to the
[334]
screen
[334]
matthew roso's salon wrote after the
[336]
movie's premiere when given a great
[338]
story and told that his job is to simply
[340]
adapt it snyder more than rises to the
[342]
occasion
[343]
keith pipps of the av club added
[345]
watchmen deserves credit for staying
[346]
true to the character's plot
[348]
up to a point and look of the original
[350]
material while still generating his own
[352]
kind of energy
[353]
even though that energy sometimes feels
[354]
misapplied and overcranked
[356]
although there was plenty of praise for
[358]
watchmen it wasn't universal
[359]
as would be the case more than once in
[361]
snyder's career while critics respected
[363]
his faithfulness to the source material
[365]
on a visual level
[366]
many felt he was unable to capture the
[367]
essence of the story as kalimftab wrote
[370]
for the national
[371]
the failure of this very faithful
[372]
adaptation highlights the fact that to
[374]
capture the spirit of a comic book a
[376]
film must do more than bring a
[377]
collection of still frames to life
[379]
zack snyder got off to a fast start with
[381]
his directorial debut 2004's dawn of the
[383]
dead
[384]
a remake of the classic 1978 george a
[386]
romero film of the same name about a
[388]
group of survivors trying to outlast the
[390]
zombie apocalypse
[391]
on rotten tomatoes dawn of the dead is
[393]
the first certified fresh entry in
[394]
snyder's filmography
[395]
an honor not normally afforded your
[397]
average zombie horror movie
[399]
when there is no more room in hell
[404]
the dead we'll walk the earth
[408]
remaking a much loved classic is also a
[410]
risk especially when it's the director's
[412]
first time behind the camera for a
[414]
feature-length film
[415]
snyder pulled it off but as would be the
[416]
case so often later in his career
[418]
even critics who found favor with the
[420]
film also found flaws
[421]
derek malcolm of the guardian wrote this
[423]
one has more pyrotechnical gore better
[425]
acting slicker direction but very few
[427]
moments when it is scary at all
[429]
mick lasalle of the san francisco
[431]
chronicle called it silly
[432]
witty and good nature not scary so much
[435]
as icky and not horrifying or horrible
[437]
but consistently amusing
[439]
it took a long time and a whole bunch of
[441]
fan outcry to make it happen but
[442]
according to critics zack snyder's
[444]
justice league was a triumph worth the
[446]
wait
[446]
the overall consensus is that snyder's
[448]
justice league is everything the
[449]
theatrical cut of justice league is not
[451]
perhaps the only case of a film markedly
[453]
improving after having its run time
[455]
expanded to four hours
[456]
the difference here according to the
[458]
majority of reviews is that even if the
[460]
end result is still a little messy the
[462]
added room gives snyder a chance to
[463]
truly bring his vision to life
[465]
robbie colin of the telegraph sum this
[467]
up writing in a genre increasingly
[469]
hidebound by formula it stands as a
[471]
monument to exceptionalism that itself
[473]
feels exceptional
[474]
of course any four hour superhero film
[476]
is going to be a target for some critics
[478]
and zack snyder's justice league is no
[480]
exception
[480]
although the majority called it a marked
[482]
improvement over the original plenty of
[484]
reviews focused on the flaws
[485]
hannah woodhead of little white lies
[487]
spoke from many of her peers when she
[489]
proclaimed the film over long and
[490]
miserable
[491]
adding that it quote signifies nothing
[493]
other than the potential of fandom to
[495]
influence top level creative decision
[497]
making
[497]
still this is a movie snyder made for
[499]
the fans as much as he made it for
[500]
himself and on both fronts the consensus
[503]
is that it delivers
