Snyder can’t take all of the blame for 300, of course. I went back and re-watched them all (except Sucker Punch and Dawn of the Dead obviously – I’m stupid, not a masochist!) and… they look good? Kiiiinda? We’ll get to that.
Thus began my dislike of Zack Snyder‘s films. A film so bad, I had an almost visceral reaction to it upon leaving the cinema (midnight showing again – like an absolute CHUMP!). Zack Snyder followed up Man of Steel with the utterly atrocious, abominable, absolute affront to cinema that was Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. Well, the years start coming and they don’t stop coming (or so said Bob Dylan anyways). Those arms? Oaft! Hold me Henry! Tell me everything’s going to be alright… There he was, bigger’n life and twice as handsome – Superman! The titular Man of Steel. Popcorn, fizzy drink and hotdog (yup, still on that bullshit…) purchased, Alan took his seat, sat back and… enjoyed the show. I know! I know! So much for not being all that bothered. June 2013 rolled around soon enough and a bunch of us got tickets to the midnight showing. After all, he quite liked 300 didn’t he? And he thought that Watchmen film was pretty good too. That’s how long the teaser trailer for Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel lasted. One minute and thirty five seconds (give or take). What’s that? Up in the sky? Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It’s… Superman? Kinda? Whoever that man is, good character or bad, he’s gonna change the world.” Back to the young man with the tablecloth cape, his hands, balled into fists, resting on his waist, red cape billowing in the wind. “You have to decide what kind of man you wanna be. “One day, you’re gonna have to make a choice” continues the rasping voiceover dude.Īnd Producer Christopher Nolan, Director of The Dark Knight Trilogy He has a red tablecloth tied around his neck almost like… a cape? The scene changes to ruggedly handsome, manly, beardy fisherman, only now he’s on terra firma, hitchiking his way ‘cross the USA. “You’re not just anyone,” says a gravelly voice over footage of a young boy running through longish grass. Who’s this? Some ruggedly handsome, manly, beardy fisherman!įrom Zack Snyder, Director of Watchmen & 300 Suddenly, the lights dim and the trailers begin stirring strings, a washing line full of clothes, a seagull, an angelic voice added to the music. Picture it: Sicily, 2012 a young(ish) Alan is sitting in a darkened cinema, carbonated beverage in one hand, processed-meat-filled stale bun covered in ketchup in the other (I had not yet seen the light at this point).
