I might be in the minority but Chappie was a really good movie. It’s a real bummer Die Antword were so horrible to work with that the director kinda gave up on it.
I saw Chappie for the first time last week and was moderately devastated to find out there isn’t going to be sequels. It had so much style, humor and personality!
Yeah, that’s another that makes no sense to me. People largely dislike all his recent works. “Let’s give him a huge budget for a two part star wars fan fic!”
Snyder has an amazing eye for action. Sucker Punch, 300, and Watchmen were all amazing visual/auditory feasts. Everything else about his movies is just average to below average, though.
Giving him a Star Wars makes perfect sense when you consider what Disney thinks of the Star Wars audience. “Just give them laser sword and space ships and explosions and they’ll be happy.”
I personally wouldn’t put him above Snyder in the visuals category, but I respect your opinion and I don’t think you’re way off or anything. I can see having that preference.
His stuff at least manages to make money somehow, so that makes some kind of sense from a money worship point of view. I doubt Blomkamp’s movies raked in as much cash though.

I never understood why they thought it would be a good idea to have them in it. It’s not like they are known well enough to have a huge pull
I actually watched the movie because of them.
Stumbled upon the band on youtube, and I’d never heard anything like it before.
Plus, their music videos are fucking sick!

I used to love them until the stories of them being fucking horrible people came out. They’ve been accused of rape, human trafficking and slavery.
so, average Cape Town citizens

I remember reading that they were trying to get District 10 done?
Yeah, but before the director made several more movies that were all bad. I don’t know how he keeps getting work.
And yet people keep giving Snyder money to make movies for stupid teenage boys.

Blomkamp is better in every way. I think he got blacklisted because the money guys didn’t like his social commentary.

Teenage boys deserve some love and movies!
Yeah, I was too harsh.
I mean, stupid teenage boys will spend what money they have to hang out with their friends… So, it’s a viable audience.

And yet M. Night still makes movies. You can’t explain that!
Bloody prawns!
