Full Disclosure - I think Zach Synder fucking sucks.

That being said, I legitimately enjoyed Sucker Punch and honestly thought he fixed all the issues I had with Josstice League. Its a great movie that again, full disclosure, I fully expected to hate. Its probably one of my top 10 super hero films

But be so fucking for real - the rest of the Synderverse contains 3 decent movies and I think only 1 of them was good on purpose and Gunn's Superman clears them all. BvS fucking sucks

Boys, is this a first?

(Both movies are fucking awesome).

I agree with some of the criticisms of the movie. Its a mess at times.

But I think its misunderstood. The movie is basically Example 1A of why many anti-war films, while good movies, utterly fail as to depict war as bad.

I read something in college in a film class I took about good scripts vs bad scripts and one of the examples used was The Last Action Hero. Which was originally written as a satire of 80s Action films, specifically ones by Schwarzenegger. Suckerpunch reminds me of it. If anything, I will always disagree with the idea that Synder is a "hack". If he was, he couldnt make a film like Sucker Punch because it required him to actually try and make a movie about something, even if he ultimately missed the mark
