Well, I watched it... sort of. I started it and said "this is stupid" and "what is this" enough times in the first 15 minutes that I decided to do something else while I left it on in the background. I then returned and gave it my attention for the last 15 minutes. It felt like I didn't miss anything. It just seemed so loud and dumb. The characters were unlikable, such that I started to wonder if we were supposed to cheer when they died. The movie didn't seem to have any rules. Some characters turned into zombies after 10 seconds and some not for 10 hours. The CGI explosions looked incredibly fake. In fact, just about everything looked fake. The camera focus seemed amateur. Zack Snyder was responsible for the cinematography, story, screenplay, production and direction. It's as if he wanted to waste the studio's money on an ego project. I don't get what people like about him. He seems to me like a less talented Michael Bay, both having started out in music videos and gone on to make loud, long, effects-heavy crowd pleasers. At least Bay mostly stuck to directing, though, and didn't dip his fingers into every aspect of production because he thought that he could do everything.
