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.
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.”
Blokamp is great at effects and story ideas, he’s not a good director. Even District 9 is a bit of a directorial mess but there’s enough interesting story there to overcome that. The rest of his films? Not so much.
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.
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 M. Night still makes movies. You can’t explain that!

Teenage boys deserve some love and movies!

I mean, stupid teenage boys will spend what money they have to hang out with their friends… So, it’s a viable audience.
