New Sucker Punch trailer
Seeing this made me even more weary of Snyder directing a Superman film...
Watching this trailer is like getting laid by Quintin Tarintino's nightmares after he dropped acid during an Eye's Wide Shut scale game of tickle-grab with Tim Burton and Michael Bay.

And if so, why do folks keep saying that?

Because Snyder's use of slo-mo borders on self parody at this point?
Because this movie looks painfully stupid and I don't want the same director that made it to turn Superman into concept art with Michael Bay explosions?
And yes, I did mean "wary."

I don't mind Snyder's use of slow-mo, since it's not like he goes overboard with it and it will likely come in handy when dealing with a character that can move almost at the speed of light.
And Snyder has shown that he can balance action with powerful characterization.
I would think it's pretty obvious that Sucker Punch is meant to be fantastical and loaded with awesome, but I'm sure focusing on those parts in the trailer is only going to help draw more people to see the movie and they'll be more to it than that.

Let me clarify this though: Because it appears to be almost offensively stupid from a two minute trailer doesn't mean that it will be. And even if it is, that doesn't mean that it won't be an enjoyable entertainment experience. I mean, The Expendables was one of the dumbest films I've ever seen, and yet I was able to enjoy it for what it was. However, that doesn't mean it wasn't a bad film.
More than anything, I just find Snyder's directorial style to be tired at this point. He keeps using the same boring tricks over and over again. I don't want that for Superman. I like Superman. I'd like to be able to enjoy a Superman film. Hopefully, he'll try some new things out or Nolan will force him to limit the amount of silly slow motion in the film to the parts where they actually make sense.
Hey, people break out of their norms all the time. Everyone thought that Peter Jackson was a brilliant director, and he managed to break out of that mold for King Kong.

That was a case of getting to do what you always wanted to do ... and then accidentally smoother it because you lack perspective.

I see it time and time again. Ghost Rider, Cage love that comic book and we get Elvis on fire.
Trish Ledoux with Viz when they got the green light to dub Ranma just after a loving fansub group just finished up the first season back in 93. I still get chills down my spine from those early dubs, the scratching glass kind.
Chris Roberts and the Wing Commander movie. He created the game and directed that disaster.

I enjoyed it. It wasn't as good as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, but it didn't shatter my faith in PJ as a director.

When he was listing the things needed for them to find, I kept expecting him to say cotton balls as one of the items.
Well I fear the ending will be like Pan's Labyrinth or Brazil.
