Poll: Zach Snyder is great and his superhero films are the best of recent years. What do you reckon?

That said, his films are fine. They're...I dunno, superhero films that are adequate. Maybe it's just me but the older I get, the less attached I get to the pop culture of my youth.

They're fine action set pieces, but I'm not sure they're fine superhero films. Superhero films are generally considered big dumb action movies, but they should still have a level of consistency to them. They should make sense. Much of Snyder's work is just "shut up and enjoy the pretty visuals." And if that's what you're looking for...I mean, that's fine, I guess...you do you. To me, that doesn't feel adequate. To the contrary, two action figures being smashed together is something young Amy would have been more into.

I don't quite have the hateboner the rest of the Internet has for him, but... yeah, nooooo.
