I find myself compelled to cast my thoughts into the void of the internet, hoping to hear some echoes back in the form of scathing remarks that capture the absolute vapidity of this horrendous shitshow, this lamentable waste of time, manpower and bandwidth.

Just “wow”, I’m at a loss of words for how bad this movie is. I’ve watched some bad movies, and almost always at least enjoyed a scene, a one liner, a concept, but maaaaaan, it’s so bad you can’t even laugh.

Please, someone, just tear this “film” a new one so that I feel I’m not alone in my sheer hatred of this incohesive collection of not even cutting room floor worthy scenes.

I would like to know who keeps giving Zack Snyder money to make movies. I’ve left better story lines as stains on the side of a toilet bowl

They make money. The same reason Bay gets funded.

He does good action and could just stick with that and it would be awesome, but for some reason (i suspect it started after watchmen) he thinks he’s christopher fkn nolan despite the wealth of evidence to the contrary

But the action wasn’t even good here. Constant cutting makes it impossible to see what’s happening on screen and the cgi also did not look good in this movie, especially for what the movie cost. And let’s not even talk about fight choreography because it’s basically non existent. This movie has no redeeming features.

Great visuals. Better plots are written on bathroom stalls.

Repeat after me: “Zack Snyder is a hack. I will avoid his films in the future.”

Oh don’t get me wrong I went into the movie fully aware of that, but still, it was so much worse than I expected!

I thought it was pretty bad too.

Somehow Snyder failed on all of the following fronts of making a movie: bad story (the plot), bad script (the dialogue), bad editing (let’s go planet hopping to assemble our merry crew?), bad bad bad special FX, bad overall visual appearance (every scene was clearly a green screen digital stage, the sepia color grading looked horrendous), and poor casting choices for everyone.

Sophia whatshername cannot act unless you call “making one face and delivering every single line with a flat emotionless affectation” acting. The only role she fit into was when she was the knife leg assassin in one of the Kingsmen movies because she had like 3 spoken lines in that entire film.

I seem to remember Sofia doing fine in Star Trek Beyond.

She absolutely was fine in STBeyond. Zach Snyder can’t direct his actors and has no idea how to tell a story.

This is deliberate and I don’t understand how anyone thinks it looks good. It’s the same as the recent zombie movie he made.

I think he did a great job… Shifting the overton window on film so much that Sucker Punch is now only seen as “not great”.
