My Take

Zack Snyder may be the most argued-about director of his generation, and I think that is precisely his value. Coming up through music videos, he made his feature debut with the 2004 Dawn of the Dead remake and has been composing painterly, slow-motion mythologies ever since. I will not pretend every script holds together, but no working filmmaker burns images into my memory the way he does. There is something endearing about a Green Bay, Wisconsin kid building cathedrals of excess in Hollywood. Love him or loathe him, he has a genuine visual signature — and in an era of interchangeable blockbusters, that alone earns my respect.

Overview

Zachary Edward Snyder (born March 1, 1966) is an American filmmaker. After starting his career primarily directing music videos, he made his feature film debut in 2004 with Dawn of the Dead, a remake of the 1978 horror film of the same name.
