ender4 Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Has anyone seen Army of the Dead and Army of Thieves? It's on Netflix and made by Zack Synder. What did you think? A new follow-on film called Planet of the Dead will be coming out soon. How can it follow on? Spoiler The people who died in Army of the Dead might not be dead anyway, due to the time-loop theory that's mentioned in the film. They already met dead versions of themselves outside the vault. Possibly an Army of Thieves 2 to be made as well.
theboyangel Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 Have watched both - they were ok but wouldn’t rave about either of them. too many characters were not likeable enough for me to root for. Even the German safecracker was annoying as!
Rolta Posted February 11, 2022 Posted February 11, 2022 I thought Army of the Dead was stupid. And not in a good way. 2
Chindie Posted February 11, 2022 VT Supporter Posted February 11, 2022 Army of the Dead is less than the sum of its parts. Nothing has any dramatic weight, to the extent the biggest struggle in the film is with a mattress. And it rips off Aliens to a comedic degree - the narrative beats are identical. Snyder's talent is in visuals, cinematography and high level conceptual ideas. His best work is adapting other people's work to meet a particular vision. He'd be better off stepping away from directing/writing and acting more as a consultant or producer with very limited scope of work. 2
ender4 Posted March 3, 2022 Author Posted March 3, 2022 Is Army of Thieves better than the new Batman film? I think it might just be!

GarethRDR Posted March 3, 2022 Posted March 3, 2022 The more Snyder stuff I watch, the more I can't reconcile just how good his Watchmen was. 1
