... Epsilon, why do you hate fun?
Or because of exactly what I said. The sound is blaring and discordant and the music is terrible. The set design is as interesting as a bad heavy metal album cover. The action scenes are as well concieved and executed as a bad music video. The characters are bland and lifeless. The plot is dumb. The "message" is inane.
Fuck, dude, I wrote a story in which a giant evil planet tentacle rapes Tokyo while people kung fu fight on spinning debris caught in a flucuating gravity field. I'm not averse to over the top. I'm averse to badly constructed stories.
And before somebody says I hate Zack Snyder I will go on record as saying I liked both Watchmen and 300. I think Snyder is great when he's working with somebody elses idea. This entire thing struck me as Snyder not having anybody around willing to tell him "No, Zack, that is a stupid idea."
