Zack Snyder Directing Justice League - Part 2

[Tra-El]

I mean... do I even have to go into why this looks terrible?

No. You really don't.

And THIS is supposed to be a money shot?

No.

 

[TripleJ]

You didn't like the NYC fight in the Avengers? That's probably my favorite superhero battle. Smallville being a close second.

Oh, yes...that was one of the fight scenes (from Marvel) that I did like. That and some of the fight scenes from Winter Soldier. Smallville one is the best for me - nothing has topped that, yet. Hopefully, JL will change that.

In any case, I am sure we will get more action scenes set during day (there were a couple of scenes that was happening during the day - like the WW shot).

The end fight sequence in Winter Soldier was beautiful to look at - and it was daylight to boot!

Praise.

For all those saying 'oh this shot's terrible', 'that's awful CGI' or 'that's not a money shot', has anyone ever actually tried making a feature film before, it's really hard work to cover all bases.

Look at the contrast within the trailer. It starts out with Bruce riding a horse in a real environment. Nice shots, it feels like a real movie. Then you get an action scene where Momoa jumps into the air in some barren wasteland that looks 30% rendered.

And how else was he suppose to accomplish that shot in an alien environment? Guys, these are superhero, larger than life comic book fantasies. You guys grew up and love the big visuals in the comics. How the hell else can those images be accomplished? Even the absolute best of CG looks like CG. Just get the hell over it. It won't ever be perfect. And for a film with 8 months of post left, I didn't have a single problem with any of the CG shots. If you guys didn't scream bloody murder during CW airport sequence, then be quiet about a trailer.

Nolan is the king of comic book movies. And even he's filmed some laughable action scenes.

action scenes he can cover, fight choreography and one-to-one combat, no.

did Larry really say that

seems like a little much even though he's joking lol.

It doesn't though. There are several movies every year which push the technological limits and is becoming a struggle for our eyes to distinguish from reality even though we know it's fake.

I used to think this was just a matter of Fox and Disney having a stronghold on WETA/ILM so everyone else gets 2nd-tier renderings, but the shots I've seen from this trailer are so stylized I'm leaning towards it being a signature of Zack's.

I was going to make this point next but yes, it's Snyder's style. Purposefully.

Probably, and it's unfortunate. A lot of his movies just look really fake.

 

[Wolfgangamadeus]

To be fair this time around, the CG background may have looked really weird to me but the only fake shots in the trailer were these IMO.

You know I see fans on here praising this shot?

I mean... do I even have to go into why this looks terrible?

And THIS is supposed to be a money shot?

Where is this shot from?

It's a shame that the BvS fight wasn't filmed on roller blades.

I love Larry Fong, but he did hurt one of the best scenes in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice by not lighting Superman properly during most of his rooftop confrontation with Lex Luthor. The suit looked black in most shots. If it was its true colors (like in the shot when the helicopter flies away and the cape is flowing) that scene would have been next to perfect.

Actually I'd like you to! I'm a big Snyder critic but I really like this shot.

The UK version of the trailer.

Zack Snyder did not build off of MOS the way he should have. Maybe Nolan was more valuable in the position he held initially godfathering the project or whatever, keeping track of Snyder and helping him focus.

You realize this is intentional.

 

[Robin91939]

You realize this is intentional.

Yes. But I don't think it rings totally true. Superman isn't evil or a threat. He was at his lowest and most skeptical after his meeting with Lois at the hotel in Washington DC. By the time he confronts Luthor, he's searched his memories for sage advice from Pa Kent, saved Lois and deduced that Lex Luthor is behind everything. He's, if anything, more sure of himself in this moment that he is meant to be a hero and that he isn't going to fight the Batman ... until Luthor shows him the pictures of Martha.


I do welcome your thoughts on the lighting, because you and I see eye to eye on most of the film. I'd like to know your thoughts on the technique.

Zack looking dapper af.
