Describes the whole thing as being 'weird'.
TEXT:
Everyone has their opinion. Does everyone have to love the movie? Of course not... visually I feel like me and my crew killed it, so when you hear things about it, it kind of hurts. To be honest the weirdest thing... I've never really talked about this. But the weirdest thing, and this has happened a lot, I'll have a stranger come up and say, 'Batman v Superman really sucked... but don't worry, what you did was great. It looked really good. It wasn't your fault.'
And I listened to that for a while and was like, 'Okay, well thanks.' But then the more I thought about it I thought I'm not going to accept that. Because everyone's working towards a common goal, right? And Zack's my brother, I'm not gonna go 'YEAH!' you know, 'HE did a horrible job... but I didn't! I just did MY job! That's right!' I don't accept that. If you make a baby together you're proud of that baby. You can't divide that up.

Fong has nothing but love for Snyder and fans of his own work, but admits that when it comes to understanding critical reception... he's at a loss. These days, not just for his own films:
I'm not going to pretend I understand anymore [Laughs]. Because I don't. You know, [critics] see a film... The films I like, no one seems to like, and the films I don't like, everyone likes. So there's a disconnect for me. I can't even pretend to understand how it all works.
