im curious.

Film is such a collaborative process that so many hands have an influence on the outcome. Of course the script is important, but the director really shapes the film into their vision. You can have the same exact script executed by three different directors and I guarantee you you will get three different results.

My personal opinion on Snyder is that he is too much of a commercial (advertising) or music video style director. He relies heavily on editing to music and slow motion shots. He definitely brings the eye candy, that cannot be argued. I'm sure the action sequences in his Superman are going to blow people away. I just think that he's stronger working from an existing source material (300, Watchmen) than with original material (Sucker Punch). More specifically, he pretty much used the actual comics of 300 and Watchmen as the story board for the movie; literally recreating panels off the page. I don't know what's going to be included in this Superman movie, but I just don't see it being based specifically any story arc in particular.

Now, I know that a lot of that deals with the script, BUT Snyder is best, again IMO, at recreating those comic panels, NOT creating his own. I really want him to do a great job and deliver an outstanding movie. I'm just a little worried that his hyper-stylized way of filming will overtake the story.
