He is allowed his opinion and yes taste is subjective.

But just because taste is subjective does not mean every opinion is created equally. Too many people think hiding behind 'oh its just my opinion' means it is free of critique and cannot be wrong and that is not the case.

I do have a friend who thinks McD's is just about the best food on the planet. He will choose that before any high end restaurant and he is perfectly entitled to that opinion and taste.

And for him his taste and choices are fine. But there is nothing wrong with 99% of the rest of the world saying his taste sucks and his opinion is lame. I mean, fine for him, but should be dismissed by 99% of everyone else.

it is the same for BoxingFan if not trolling. Fine for him to hold that opinion but quite dismissible by everyone else.

One of the loudest complaints from some critics and fans has been the claim that Zack Snyder hates Superman, and thatBatman v Superman proves it. This assertion hinges on such a dramatic misreading of the film, I’m frankly stunned that even some otherwise typically smart and insightful writers have bought into this myth and perpetuated it. So now, I’m going to completely debunk the claim, and explain to you how Batman v Superman in fact makes Superman’s goodness and idealism the centerpiece of the story, and how Zack Snyder clearly loves Superman’s character and honors him in this film.

Be warned, I’m going to discuss a lot of spoilers in this article, out of necessity. So if you’ve not seen Batman v Superman yet, read no further — but go see the film, and then come right back and finish reading!

LOL becoming one of the horde with group think is what you base your opinion on (if the general audience loves it, it must be great).

Everything he says is right there contextualized in the film, the lack of establishing shots and weird pacing due to editing hid a lot of the nuance in BvS.

I don't buy it , this is the same guy that gave us Sucker Punch, I don't have him in the misunderstood genius category.

I've addressed the lack of great films by Snyder before, what if Kubrick was judged by Fear and Desire? MoS was Snyder coming into his own as an auteur, BvS continued that trend

Great directors have their rough spots , but I don't see Snyder as a great Director. As for the Lord of the Rings and Peter Jackson , that trilogy has a special place in my heart because that the last set of movies I saw with my family before a key loved one died so those movies are untouchable and I forgive Jackson for damn near everything, even the Prequel Series and the Lovely Bones

Snyder has some classics

300
Watchmen
Dawn of the dead

For me I'm starting to think he's better following a solid script. For instance, he copied 300 n watchmen to a T. Sucker punch was his own project and while i enjoyed parts, it needed someone to be like hey that's not gonna work.

Mos I think is the best Superman movie but it could of been better. bvs had some issues. To where I thought maybe he's not ok by himself.

Bvs I thought struggled from pacing and not enough action. I don't think snyder should get a pass on that film but it seems the ball was dropped by multiple people. Point in case...casting
