VIDEO: Zack Snyder (Director/Writer & Producer) Sucker Punch Interview!

; )

PartyHard @ Too bad you know nothing lol... this guy did the best CBM ever made!

WATCHMEN!!!



SUPERMAN is in good hands!

:)

PartyHard @ Bud... all I can say is...

DOOMSDAY!!!


: P

Lol, he's a great director... anyways David S. Goyer doing the SUPERMAN screenplay right??

Thats good enough for me, that guys awesome!

And with CAVILL onboard as Supes, we've got a masterpiece in the making!

Pretty much like what THOR's going to be!

uh, how can you call this a BLOCKBUSTER, are you a moron?????? When it makes 300 mill plus then maybe you can call it that, until then I think you better read up on that word!

And I've seen Watchmen and it wasn't all that, it was colorful and all, but be real the acting was pretty bad.

I've seen a few of Snyder's movies and have only been impressed with 300, the others are way over the top, but if that is what most you are into, then so be it

I love how people [female dog] about a director puts out onebad movie he loses all credibility he on e had from his past successes. If a band puts out one bad album it doesn't make them a bad band nor does is nullify their previous successful albums. Zack Snyder is a wicked good director, so what if he missed the mark on this one, I still have faith in him and his future work

You guys can say critics don't matter, but you laud them when they're positive on TDK or Iron Man & X-Men. Hell often times they're more positive about CBM movies than you guys.

I liked Snyder's Dawn of the Dead, but I haven't been impressed with anything since as they all have the same slo-mo hyper stylized look but no real story. I wasn't impressed with 300 or Watchmen. He is by no means a great director. Especially compared to Nolan, Vaughn or Branagh.

Superman could be fine despite him since Nolan is producing and Goyer did the script.

@ darkmatter

yeah,your right.

i did with the green hornet,i saw the bad reveiws & took their word for it.

but when it came down to something i actually liked the look of i.e sucker punch,i think they don't know what they're talking about.

some of the reveiws for sucker punch did make me laugh.

I could go into some serious depth about this, but I'm just gonna stick with one of the main reasons that this movie should be respected, especially on this site. The stylized nature of this movie, and the legitimacy it brought to presenting these fantastical scenario's, is enough to put a large swell of hope into anyone who thinks that the art of comic's and video's can be professionally presented on screen without compromise. That's just one major significance that this movie provides. I still haven't heard anyone here or any other site, explain in a legitimate way, what was bad about this movie. Tell me what your problem was and I'll explain my take on it.

I never give any individual critics much attention being everyone has their opinion, but when the vast, overwhelming majority all say a movie sucks...I do pay attention:

"Sucker Punch" is what happens when a studio gives carte blanche to a filmmaker who has absolutely nothing original or even coherent to say."

"It's so bad that the Director's Guild should revoke Snyder's membership and he should never be allowed to direct again."

"Zombie soldiers, dragons, cyborgs, doesn't matter: Snyder is just a big boy with lots of toys. These, unfortunately, include his actresses."

"Zack Snyder's storytelling skills remain in question in his latest CGI spectacular."

...and those are from sources like THR, NYT, SFC, etc.

"In the end, Snyder confuses going ugly for getting serious, and he destroys his movie completely."

I just saw the movie and it made me feel like I had a lobotomy

Seriously, if you haven't seen this movie, your opinion is moot and I really don't feel like debating the issue until you have. You can say that it's hilarious that critic's dislike this movie. While I, who have seen it and formed an opinion on my own, am very perturbed that critics are bashing this movie. Beyond that, it's one thing for critic's to not be ready for the style that this movie plucks from the pages of our beloved comics and games, but it's a whole other thing to see people on this site, who read story's like this all the time and see this kind of fantastical presentation in the culture that we are familiar with, also bash on it. This movie whether you realize it or not, truly brings to life the extraordinary and over the top character of these art forms.

" this film is a wet dream of comicbook action come to life" Ok then you agree with me. I never tried to pretend that this movie had some highly thought out plot that explored the depths of writing that something Inception did. The point I'm trying to make is that we should be excited about this movie because of what it does for comic and video game art. To me, the story was decent and coherent enough to showcase this level of over the top style that has been absent from all the comic book and video game movies to date. Except perhaps, The Watchmen.

Visually amazing film... the story and the plot were weak... and the acting was painful most of the time. All in all, I was disappointed.

HA HA HA!!! Whimpy Kid will do better then this shit!!!

@NeoBaggins - You're right, it is an insult. That was my intent. However, my comment was obviously directed toward critics who can't take something for what it is; the ones who always feel the need to compare everything to Shakespeare. Also, I'm implying just the opposite of what you say I am. I said that everyone who saw the trailer KNEW to expect a very visual film. Anyone with half a brain knew going in that there wouldn't be any depth to it. Whether it's in 3D or not doesn't change that in the least bit. That's exactly why I said judge it for what it is and what it means to accomplish. Now, faults in the narrative? Fine. If those faults ruined it for you then go ahead and be upset about that. I'm just tired of critics judging films based on completely unrealistic expectations that they will accomplish something that they never set out to to begin with.

Ranger14 Let me add to that by saying; if you're familiar with the Directors work and you like his movies in general which a lot of people do, it is completely logical to expect more than Zombies, Dragons and Robots. Oh my.

HeyVanity I missed the obviousness that your "comment was obviously directed toward critics". In that context, I have to agree to a large degree. I thought you were saying that people like us here, who watch these types of movie, have some distorted anticipation going into them. Some of us do, but I think for the most part we know that there can be substance AND fireworks at the same time.

I have indeed witnessed reviews by critics who review EVERY FILM as if it were made to be an Oscar contender. This is retarded. I have very little respect for them and the notion that they are doing some skilled job- a job that is no more than what the average person does; watch a movie and take away from it what they want. They are giving a [frick]ing opinion like anyone else and most the time they are unprofessional and the reviews sound PERSONAL. Making a movie is art, so it doesn't have any elements in the film making process that can be categorized as being done right or wrong. That fact alone renders the profession of critiquing, laughable.

Some times I agree with the bottom line of a review, some times I consider them with films I'm not sure I want to see in the first place. But you should never let them guide your experience, which they run the risk of doing with their douchebag early reviews. A trailer should provide enough information to garner any level of interest. So, my outlook on them is a typical one; they're bad guys and they sound like they wish they were making movies.

And with all that said, if I were to see Sucker Punch again, knowing exactly what it is now(an expensive dick-hardening music video... game), I bet I could enjoy it fully and freely despite it's narrative flaws.

"Let me add to that by saying; if you're familiar with the Directors work and you like his movies in general which a lot of people do, it is completely logical to expect more than Zombies, Dragons and Robots. Oh my."

This is where I'd have to disagree. While I do generally like Snyder's work, none of his films have been much more than style. Damn cool style, albeit, but certainly lacking depth. Aside from Watchmen I haven't been able to watch any of them more than once. Probably won't watch Sucker Punch again either to be perfectly honest, lol.
