Snyder is not to everyone’s taste, but I like his stuff a lot. Hard to tell from the trailer, but this movie seems pretty straightforward and may be missing some of Snyder’s quirkiness. That may lead to higher profitability, I suppose.
Snyder tends to focus on the gratuitous. The comic 300 had no sex scene. Just the brilliant comment by the Queen about Leonidas’ enthusiasm the night before. I still disagree with changing the ending of Watchmen. He also IMO changed one of the key lines of Rorschach from the book. The scene where he grabs the prisoners thumbs reaching in to his cell. In the book he says “my perspective” not “my pleasure”. Maybe I’ll give this a chance when it comes out on disc through Netflix.
