CHAZELLE??
Lol, saw that coming. He's not *bad*, though. It'd be kind of like making a greatest American actors list of Brando, Hoffman, Matt Damon. Not really, though. TBH I wouldn't have picked the other two either!
My point wasn't really about who's the best directors though. I was just saying that Snyder is nowhere near some of the best working directors of the past few decades, so you shouldn't expect anything amazing going into a Snyder movie except great visuals and senseless fun.
Trust me, there's a hundred other directors to pick from. Chazelle is near and dear to me because Whiplash is one of my all-time favorite movies. He's also had many critically acclaimed movies that won awards, despite people here liking them or not.
