The cornfield scene was completely reshot, the third act as well, his interaction with alfred. So as with all Zach Snyder films, he is good at single moments that extend to maybe 5 minutes at the most, but is incapable of putting those moments together into a workable long-form narrative.
i think someone said he's more of an.... "in the moment" director, personally i like his films (minus sucker punch..........................), so i suppose his somewhat disjointed narrative approach doesn't bother me or i just don't notice it.

He got his start in videos, his Opening Credits sequences are masterworks...The opening of Sucker Punch got me so excited to watch the movie and then...well...I got stuck watching Sucker Punch. So his most successful movies, critically and financially, are 300 and Dawn of the Dead. Both of those are made up of multiple 5 minute isolated sequences that can get stitched together. With his other general success, Watchmen, he held onto the script and story so tightly it couldn't breathe. Sucker Punch SHOULD have been this same thing, but the connective tissue and character development was where it completely fell apart and his preference for Style over Substance started to rear it's ugly head. The more he gets control, and tries to tell a long form story, the more everything collapses. I guarantee he could make the single greatest 2 minute Superman film ever conceived. Taken in nothing but 5 minute isolated chunks, BvS would probably make you think it's pretty damn good...because your mind fills in the gaps that you assume are there because you aren't seeing everything. But when he is the one that has to fill the gaps...they don't get filled and everything falls apart. |

The basis for this being that Superman's face looks completely clean shaven instead of the now infamous CGI foul up. He does look fine in the picture, I'll give it that. As the article points out though, a picture does not equal an entire film.
A) This doesn't prove anything
B) it just looks like a shot from the movie as is, where maybe they got the mustache right?
C) I wouldn't mind seeing a Snyder cut because I don't hate Snyder and I actually liked Justice League, but I don't understand that big push for it. Don't most people hate Snyder and didn't like Justice League? Why would they want more? And a potentially darker, worse version?

I'll never understand why people keep wanting a Snyder cut. JL wasn't very good but it was still heaps better than BvS. A Snyder-cut would probably be worse than the theatrical cut we got. Because people want their edgelord psuedo philosophy. |
