I feel like this masterpiece of awful cinema needs its own thread to truly appreciate how bad it is. If Killers of the Flower Moon got one, so should this. It is a jaw-dropping, astonishing pile of shit.

Like how this in the Social thread because it doesn’t count as entertainment.

Fair play to the guy, dunno how the fuck he keeps convincing people to let him make films.
Absolute shite and there’s always elements in his films that make me think the guy is an absolute wrong un.

Apparently he pitched it as a Star Wars film (no shit!) and they said no (the best call Disney have made in years) so he just did this instead.

Yeah, i think I’d heard that.
The thing is, it’s not cheesy enjoyably bad films that he makes, they’re just terrible boring shite films.
and this was back when Disney were handing Star Wars films out to everyone
(not watching)
I still think 300 is fun in a camp, pulpy way, and I liked a lot about Watchmen, but it’s been a long time since those, and everything he does just remixes those same elements anyway.

I thought watchmen at least looked interesting and started ok but then there was baffling cliched shite that just squashed anything positive i felt about it. There was also a scene in watchmen of something graphic and shocking and upsetting that was filmed in as titillating a way as possible which i found utterly disgusting.
Have that, conformist moons

I thought the pacing was terrible, but it was a fun, harmless thing to watch. No worse than 90% of other things to watch. Like Tuc biscuits.

I dispute the “fun” part. Aside from the scenery chewing British space Nazi villain, it’s all so dour and brown and self-serious.

Also I would love to know who took the executive decision to make Charlie Hunnam do a Northern Irish accent for his role as Beach Bum Han Solo.

Looking forward to watching both parts back to back later in the year.

Here is my favourite Zack Snyder thing:
In his cut of Justice League, Amber Heard has some bizarre accent that she doesn’t use in either the Joss Whedon version of the film, or in the Aquaman films. I can only assume it was a thing they decided to move away from when they reshot Justice League, and carried it over to later films.
The thing is, some of the footage she was in was new footage, shot specifically for the Snyder cut. Yet she was still doing the bizarre old accent.
So basically he must’ve been like “yeah, can you come back to do some more scenes, and also can you use that accent that you’ve subsequently dropped”.
Also some of that new footage in his cut of Justice League set up further films that at no point were ever going to happen.
A true visionary on both counts, I think you’ll agree.

This is similar to Jurassic Park when Attenborough (not that one) makes a fucking awful attempt at a scottish accent in an early scene and then later just doesn’t bother even trying or has been told to stop - I’m not sure which.

Yiu know that four hour justice league thing might be the best thing he’s ever done
