    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.”

          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.

          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.
