3. He Expects Us to "Just Go With It"
He does this constantly. A king kicks a messenger into a well, and suddenly the war is on. An imprisoned girl needs to dance good? Just needs to imagine she's in a war zone. I'm all for suspension of disbelief, but Snyder fails to put forward a compelling reason as to why the plots to almost any of his movies are happening in the first place. Now, why does this especially concern me for Batman Vs. Superman? Because there needs to be a good reason as why they're fighting, of course. It's one of the most difficult things about the movie. Why would a presumed dead billionaire and an invincible alien decide that they need to fight one another? There are dozens of ways for Snyder to do it, sure. But only a few that would actually work for both entertainment and audience involvement purposes. Let's face it, then: if one of us comes up with an idea for the movie, we expect the actual movie to have something a hundred times better than that. I mean, that's why they actually get paid to make them - they have the time and the resources at their disposal to ensure it's good. But Snyder is the man in charge, and - sorry - I just don't see it happening.
