Zack Snyder's new film. Obvious anime references, and to be honest it looks fairly awesome.

Your opinions?

It looks awesome.

Zack Snyder is a pretty good director, I think. And it looks like its full of hot chicks.

Hot chicks in seifuku, sword fights, dragons, Nazis, panty shots, what appear to be zombies...

This film is officially made of Win and Awesomesauce.

I think this is the result of Zack Snyder watching a lot of anime and making his version of fanfiction.

All of which is awesome in a movie.

Yeah, it should be amazing.

Maybe so. Seifuku in particular does make me think anime, so it's a possibility. I'm kind of eager to see how technically good the film is. Watchmen and 300 (though both had their flaws) proved to me that Snyder is a talented director. This is his first original screenplay though He also wrote it. More than anything this will be an effective gauge of his true talent as a film maker.

This is very true.

It's been described by him as "Like Alice in Wonderland with machine guns.", which is just badass.

That does sound amazing. I expect great things.

And it seems after this film, Snyder's next project is a Superman movie. That might actually prove to be his greatest challenge yet. Making Superman actually interesting seems like a daunting task to me at least.

I agree with you. Superman's so overdone...

I think Amber here may become my favourite character from Sucker Punch...

I'm guessing you'll like Babydoll.

Yeah... Superman is just so overpowered he becomes uninteresting. There's also no edge to his personality and his villains lack the color of other superhero's (Yes I'm thinking about Batman, and yes I know it's not fair since no other superhero has villains as good as Batman).

But I'm actually quite optimistic about this coming Zack Snyder Superman film in reading about it. It's being produced by Christopher Nolan and being written by the guy who wrote The Dark Knight.

If anyone can make an interesting film out of a stiff, uninteresting character like Superman, it's those three.

Dunno what to suggest aside from googling them.
