Zach Snyder returns with Frank Miller-less sequel

Since it’s Zach Snyder behind this it’s sure to look mighty pretty, just like the first 300. Problem with Snyder is when he uses source materials — as in 300 and Watchmen — the guy is pretty much unstoppable.

Sometimes giant samurais, mechs, dragons & blondes In schoolgirl outfits CAN save your movie

I am a legitimate fan of Zack Snyder’s, who I had hoped […]
