How on earth are you including Avatar on that list? Good reviews and massive box office success. That shit ain't cursed at all, it's blessed.you forgot about the big dawg
(amusingly at least a couple of those movies were clearly chasing after Avatar)
What I'm saying is Avatar is proof that concept isn't all that cursed I guess lol
Most of those movies are just not good.
its such an awful looking movie from the trailers, just a green screen fest with a mismatch of aesthetics and styles, like bad video game FMV from the 90s.
If thats all its got going for it then oof.

It's 4 hours long and Netflix wanted to put this in theaters as part 1.
If you guys read the Snyder interview from last month it's pretty obvious he sees this as Netflix's cut
This won't be the first crap Netflix film they make a sequel to.
lol. (i dont really watch his movies but based on the comments in here.)
Watchmen is good, I'll give him that.
I also haven't rewatched it in a long time though.
Not only was Watchmen already written for him, it was already storyboarded (so to speak). He's fine when he's in that situation.

Yeah you got a point. Maybe because Avatar actually feels like it's having fun with itself even with the overt themes while all the other movies feel pretty dour about themselves.
I think you will get a kick out of this article about another Netflix project:
The Strange $55 Million Saga of a Netflix Series You’ll Never See
Near the height of the streaming boom in 2018, a half-dozen studios and video platforms lined up to woo a little-known filmmaker named Carl Erik Rinsch. He had directed only one movie, “47 Ronin.” It was a commercial and critical dud, and Rinsch’s tussles with its producers had raised eyebrows...
Maybe he worked with the robots to betray the humans and got put back in the Matrix as a movie director.
Things may change if Netflix and these other studios/streamers start cutting on spending, but to this point I think the appeal was that he works quick and on budget and is a name, and delivers movies that seem to have a high profile (mostly due to his name). He does have a "distinct" visual style to this point as well. I think thats probably right in the wheel house for someone like Netflix who is just looking for eyeballs on screens. But again business models change.
Snyder really likes rape in his films, at this point it feels like one of his defining features.
I've watched all Snyder films, I think every single one of them either contains a rape scene or alludes to rape.
Hell, even his kids owl movie has some suspect sexual shit.
I think it was supposed to be one movie and they made the decision to split it in two a couple of months ago because it was reaching like 5 hours in length or something.
Part 2 is coming unless Netflix does a Zaslav.
The dude has only done 2 movies worth of shit and none recently. He's almost at Micheal Bay's level at this point.
Yeah I always joke that if I was a cold hearted exec I would never greenlight a single "big" sci-fi movie, they're expensive and the hit rate is terrible.
Cloud Atlas is great though, aside from the uh, unfortunate makeup.
More movies need to be brave enough to have a dog-man with a gun that barks when he shoots it.
Yeah, I'm not understanding the posts saying, "will watch for the visuals!" Unless Snyder has panels from a comic to crib from, most of his films look pretty drab.
"Action scenes are serviceable enough but rarely exciting, pumped up with Snyder's usual tool kit of speed-ramping and slo-mo. But there's a grimy aesthetic to the movie that becomes ugly and tiresome (the director took on the DP role himself)"
Don't let this man be the DP.
