>>93285129AoU was better than BvS, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch. Serenity was better than BvS, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch. I haven't seen the Shakespear movie but I doubt it was as bad as BvS, Watchmen, and Sucker Punch.
It's a director's fucking job to get a film into a reasonable run time. Other directors do it all the fucking time and make great movies. It's a skill a director of major motion pictures needs. If Snyder can't do that he's not a good director of major motion pictures.
