This is one of the few "iconic" interviews that really gets into some interesting aspects of those characters. So many of them I'm excited for but then it's just 30 minutes of "Everyone I worked with on that movie were just the greatest" and an anecdote about how they got the role even though they didn't even like it at first or whatever.

Now I see the reason and why Christopher Nolan loves and supports him. What a MIND.

300 and watchmen are 10/10

[@ZeroEscape2074]

I'm among one of the people that's bummed he didn't see his dark DCEU vision to fruition, would love to see more after his JL snyder cut where he takes full control

[@sbentsen2714]

I think 300 has aged much better than Troy has in my opinion, when you ask people what they would rather sit down and actually watch, my money is on 300 almost every time

[@darknes7800]

300 is still his best movie! Gerard made that film !!!!!!!!!!!

[@abrahammwiinde735]

That would be BVS

[@JC-kl3uc]

That would be Watchmen

[@jliller]

There are a lot of Snyder's film-making decisions I don't agree with, but I was so happy when he got rid of the fake psychic space space squid.

[@ida_ray]

What an insanely likable guy! I love Watchmen!

[@LBCGremlin]

Please finish the justice league triology !

[@imgladiquitdestiny2401]

Watchmen is one of my favorite movies ever. Very underrated

[@Ancient_Oracle]

The passion is noticeable in Zack. Even when he speaks about his films. He's still a kid inside and that's awesome!

[@ethanholgate2512]

I love the meaning behind the Martha scene in BvS cause it's easy to think it means one thing but there's a deeper meaning to it in hearing the same name as his mother batman sees the humanity in Superman at that moment it's crazy when you look at it that way I never even thought that on the 1st watch

No. Its unnatural and stupid and rightfully clowned on.

Dark Knight with his cast sounds awesome.

Batman vs superman for me was DOPE !🔥

[@nickrobles6716]

Say what you will about Zack Snyder, but the warehouse fight in Batman V Superman is the greatest Batman fight scene on film imo.

[@danielbay4034]

I don't love all of his movies but he does always seem like a really smart, nice guy

[@spacedude1145]

Don’t think he’s that smart.

[@Objective_Piece8285]

Snyder once again proving that he gets the concept of cbm genre like no one else.

[@lucascyr8796]

I loved his choices for Superman and Batman he did the best casting and suit crafting

[@echoesofophelia]

I don't know who the interviewer is, but fantastic freaking job. I've seen many Snyder interviews and this was the most relaxed and articulate i've ever seen him. I love that he will never shut the door on making more DC movies.

[@5redheadofdoom5]

He's such a nerd and I'm totally here for it.

[@XDviper45]

His movies are really hit or miss for me, but I like his passion for his craft and enjoy hearing him talk about films
