Watchmen (2009)
Mar 8, 2009Comic-Book Superheroes
Zack Snyder's adaptation of Alan Moore's groundbreaking graphic novel is exceedingly faithful to the original. Often called unfilmable, Snyder articulates the material in ways that quite surprise
Deborah Snyder
Sucker Punch (2011)
Mar 27, 2011Fantasy Action in Dreamed Alternate Realities
Bizarrely uncategorisable film from Zack Snyder that seems a mix of Girl, Interrupted and Inception
Man of Steel (2013)
Jun 14, 2013Comic-Book Superhero
Zack Snyder's reboot of Superman leaves you irritated in the first half of the film at its throwing chunks of comic-book canon out the window and the second half bored with the mass destruction orgy that drags on
300: Rise of an Empire (2014)
Mar 8, 2014Fantasticised Historical Battle
Less a 300 sequel or prequel than a parallel story, this offers much the same as before but in 3D and with naval instead of land combat. Seeing Zack Snyder's amazing visuals repeated all over again, all the poses and hyper-masculinity now seem to bubble with an inherent risibility.
Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice (2016)
Mar 27, 2016DC Comics Superhero Team-Up
It took DC Comics the better part of a decade to catch up with the massive success Marvel Comics are having on screen in crossing their characters over. Zack Snyder comes to the party offering up THE biggest headline double-bill in superherodom
Justice League (2017)
Dec 30, 2017Comic-Book Superheroes
Zack Snyder completes his run through DC superheroes with mixed results. The introduction of the characters works well but Snyder too readily throws established continuity out the window, while the visual dourness becomes tedious
Wonder Woman (2017)
Jul 8, 2017Comic-Book Superheroine
After three films of mixed success, DC Comics finally get their Cinematic Universe right. Director Patty Jenkins blows all of the others away with a series of exhilarating action sequences that have an entire audience cheering
Wonder Woman 1984 (2020)
Jan 2, 2021Comic-Book Superheroine
The much-anticipated sequel to the Gal Gadot starring Wonder Woman is a highly divided success, partly due to an inane plot centred around a magic wishing stone
The Suicide Squad (2021)
Aug 14, 2021Team-Up of DC Comics Super-Villains
James Gunn takes over the Suicide Squad franchise and welcomely rescues it from the dud first screen outing, giving it his characteristically irreverent sense of humour
Army of Thieves (2021)
Jun 26, 2022Army of the Dead Prequel/Heist Film
Prequel to Army of the Dead set around the character of the German safecracker as he is dragged into conducting an impossible heist
Zack Snyder’s Justice League (2021)
Mar 27, 2021Comic-Book Superheroes
Zack Snyder’s original cut of Justice League is a magnificent work that restores much character depth and story. I would far rather watch this than any of the recent MCU films
Army of the Dead (2021)
May 29, 2021Zombie Heist Film
Zack Snyder makes a zombie heist film that if nothing else overspills with interesting ideas and a comic energy that goes along way to forgiving Snyder for trashing George Romero in Dawn of the Dead
Rebel Moon – A Child of Fire: Part One (2023)
Jan 6, 2024Space Opera
Zack Snyder returns with a work that is all but a Star Wars film in name where he draws heavily on the basics of The Seven Samurai/The Magnificent Seven
Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver (2024)
Apr 27, 2024Space Opera
Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon was intended as a two-part space opera saga. This first half emerged watchably and this is Part Two
