After casting Margot in three films in a row - SUICIDE SQUAD, TARZAN and FOCUS, she and her husband Tom, came to see me and asked me to support them starting a production company. All three of those films were made to support other talent and ideas. Not Margot. Suicide Squad was

I couldn’t agree more. My suspicion always was that Zack’s kindness openness and enthusiasm created an environment for critics to undervalue his work. Because he is a decent approachable humble human, he didn’t fit the mold of an auteur. Shitty. Should be the opposite.
If someone other than Zack Snyder had directed Man of Steel and Batman V Superman (the movies being same), these movies would have been critically acclaimed

Not true. We lost some money on GAHOOLE and a fair amount on SUCKERPUNCH. The rest of his films at WB were very profitable. Very.
It’s always funny to me that supporters conveniently forget how much money Zack Snyder lost for WB. Big hit with 300. Then they handed him DC and he didn’t lose much money there… or build a big winner. But 3 or 4 losers in between.
Bro Power.

Superman is not boring. He was conceived by immigrants desperate to fit in. He’s insecure like they were, desperate to be good enough to fit in, to be worthy of love. He’s torn between two worlds, two fathers. I think Zack and Henry (&&&) captured all of this beautifully in MOS.

I really wish James had hired someone to write this. He has a job. He’s an exec now. He missed an opportunity to support someone else & bring a new voice into the fold. He could guide, share his ideas, mentor. Giving the first big job of your new tenure to yourself is a bad look.

Hans Zimmer writing a new score for a Superman after John Williams’ epic masterpiece was the hardest creative job I witnessed someone take at WB - tied with Heath following Jack Nicholson? - and he absolutely nailed it. Both scores now stand the test of time. Beautiful.

I agree.
I love that Zack Snyder isn't afraid to take risks with iconic characters. He wants us to understand WHY they're supposed to work instead of just accepting them as is. He's always ahead of the curve, and I won't be surprised if we see more CBMs take this approach in the future.

Daring creative take. Executed perfectly. At a price. By people genuinely passionate about the character and themes. Deadpool is a key learning for the

Still in shock that the R rated Deadpool films with nudity, excessive cursing & violence performed as they did at the box office. The 2 films combined cost $200 million. Together made 1.6 billion.

A high RT score means there is consensus that the film is good. It is not an indicator that the film is excellent. Those are two very different things. Metacritic is better. A high audience score (on IMDB) most indicative of (duh) how the audience feels.
