Zack Snyder is one of the most polarizing filmmakers working today! You either love or hate Zack Snyder movies, there is really no in-between.
The groundbreaking and visionary director began his career with the remake of ‘Dawn of the Dead,’ but Snyder would really make a name for himself adapting popular comic book characters and graphic novels like ‘300,’ ‘Watchmen,’ ‘Man of Steel,’ ‘Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice,’ the ill-fated ‘Justice League,’ and his director’s cut of the latter, ‘Zack Snyder’s Justice League.’
His new epic, the ‘Star Wars’ inspired ‘Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire,’ was released in theaters on December 15th before premiering on Netflix December 21st. In honor of the new film, Moviefone is ranking every movie Zack Snyder has ever directed, including his latest.

Determined to ensure Superman’s (Henry Cavill) ultimate sacrifice was not in vain, Bruce Wayne (Ben Affleck) aligns forces with Diana Prince (Gal Gadot) with plans to recruit a team of metahumans to protect the world from an approaching threat of catastrophic proportions. The task proves more difficult than Bruce imagined, as each of the recruits must face the demons of their own pasts to transcend that which has held them back, allowing them to come together, finally forming an unprecedented league of heroes. Now united, Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman (Jason Momoa), Cyborg (Ray Fisher), and The Flash (Ezra Miller) may be too late to save the planet from Steppenwolf (Ciaran Hinds), DeSaad (Peter Guinness), and Darkseid (Ray Porter) and their dreadful intentions.
