2. Well I could say the same to Zack Snyder, he made 300 and Watchmen and I like them both ALOT so I feel he has talent aswell
Or Francis Ford Coppola, he wrote for Patton, and he made Godfather, Coversation, Apocalypse Now, and Bram Stoker's Dracula, so he has talent its not like he made a bad movie.....oh:

Well I don't think anybody would argue against Francis Ford Coppola being a talented director, specially considering how much of a mess the production of Apocalypse Now was and how good the movie is despite all those problems, that man is damned good at what he does despite being a huge asshole[footnote]If you are familiar with the production of Apocalypse Now you'll understand why I say that.[/footnote].
As for Zack Snyder, he does have talent but he is mostly just style, good action and very little else, and while 300 is fun it's not particularly well written or smart, but that's mostly to do with the fact that it's an adaptation of an adaptation[footnote]By an author that's really not very good either.[/footnote] of a legend that was used as propaganda that was based on a real battle, so there's not much you can do about it, except basing it on the actual story of which there is very little data and if you did that then it wouldn't be 300 anymore and Snyder's style wouldn't have meshed well with the project.
And then there's Watchmen, which is good and easily his best movie, but he doesn't really add much of value to the source material and despite it being a decent adaptation it still manages to completely miss the point on some aspects of the graphic novel and cuts some interesting stuff in favour of adding some very stupid and pointless stuff, like that idiotic sex scene on Archie that goes on for way too long, the completely pointless addition of Nite Owl finding out about Rorschach's death and fighting Ozymandias and actually beating him which is kind of weird and out of place and much like Ozymandias points out really immature, and then there's the worst change of all which is changing the entire context of the final scene with Nite Owl and Silk Spectre running away, in the movie is basically everything's well for them and they live happily ever after because people think Dr. Manhattan is protecting them, which doesn't really fit the tone and grit of the story, and the original they do get to live together and happy but in hiding as fugitives was much more interesting and fitting to the story.
So really I'd attribute Watchmen being good to how good the actual source material and Snyder's knack for style, but he is too tone deaf to really do the project justice.
With that being said I don't really blame him for MoS and BvS being shit, I think he's a good fit for Superhero movies but they should really get him a better writer because he's not smart or good enough to do it himself and David S. Goyer is absolute fucking shit when it comes to writing and they should have fired him after Batman Begins, don't know why he's still there after 5 absolutely awfully written screenplays.
And I know most people love the Nolan trilogy, but I'm petty sure it would have been better without him as it might have not been completely filled with plot-holes.
