Snyder compromised his personal style to make a Superman movie that would please the producers.

Donner refused to compromise his personal style to make a Superman movie, which pissed off the producers.

Donner didn't go around calling himself "visionary" in his movie trailers either.

Plus you could go back one movie and compare - Sucker Punch vs. The Omen? :))

Not only that but it was also one of those movies that pretended to be a Steven Spielberg film but wasn't. Like Innerspace and Gremlins and Poltergeist.

It's one of my favorite horror/comic book tv shows. Another reason to go with Donner.

EnriqueH: It can be built on forgiving the mistakes of the past, and remembering the overall experience, which I think has been positive for most. The question is: Will individuals let go of their pride, make up and shake hands, or stay angry forever? May 28, 2015 18:20:17 GMT -5
