    Edit him out of these movies. Replace him with Tig Notaro. That was what Zach Snyder did when one of his stars was credibly accused of sexual impropriety shortly before the release of Army of the Dead. And Tig Notaro ended up being the best part of that movie. variety.com/2025/film/ne...

    If you want to talk about a movie that used something too much to the movie's detriment, sure. I thought the overuse of shallow depth of field was a big problem with Army of the Dead, for example. But these blanket "YOU SHOULD NEVER USE ____" statements in these essays can fuck off.

    Army of the Dead (2021). Fun but Snyder keeps getting in his own way. Bautista is acting in a better movie about men who go on missions they're hoping are suicide ones. I'd also watch Arnezeder's Stalker taking parties into ruined Las Vegas. Flickers of more interesting movies in this frustrates.

    Until last week, I was unfamiliar with Zach Snyder other than he did that long DC movie for a franchise that is infamously the more shit version of the MCU. The reason I read about him is because I watched the absolute piece of shit movie he did called Army Of The Dead and was amazed that it was made by a director that is obviously famous enough for me to have heard of him. What's the deal? Is he known for being overrated or am I just not getting it?

    I can only think of one movie in the last few years where the entire movie was in shallow focus, and that movie was Zack Snyder's Army of the Dead. If there was an epidemic of shallow focus misuse in cinema, I must have missed it despite watching hundreds of new movies every year. 🤷‍♂️

    REBEL MOON is a truly awful movie. Easily Snyder's worst. At least ARMY OF THE DEAD had a certain moronic breeziness to it - this movie is a portentous slog. It's also ugly as sin and has awful action. A disaster.

    It is still better than Zach Snyder’s “Army of the Dead” which has a similar plot but basically any random movie you picked sight unseen would be better than “Army of the Dead”

    “What if illegal immigrants were the true zombies?” thanks Zach Snyder, I’m not even sure if Army of the Dead is pro-undocumented immigrant or anti-undocumented immigrant because you couldn’t even bother to have the movie in focus and it’s a ripoff of Aliens beat for beat regardless

    So they tried that unofficial audience vote thing on Twitter and it came in 4th behind a Johnny Depp movie that no one who voted could (or can!) actually have seen, the Camilo Cabella version of Cinderella, and Army of the Dead, which kind of puts the lie to how many people truly loved it I guess?

    I personally like SMG4, and the way Mr Puzzles was used. If I could throw a bone, I would say that upcoming Popeye horror movie with Popeye as a villain. He should be the hero of that movie instead. Seriously him being a hero in a horror comedy akin to Army of the Dead would be amazing.

    Heh. Interesting -- the author has the Army of the Dead show up at the battle of Pellennor Fields, just like Peter Jackson's film did. (Unlike the books, where the Army of the Dead helped Aragorn at Pelargir.) But this was written in 1999, before the films released.
