Who's the best blockbuster director?

In terms of visuals Bay shits all over practically any other current american director. It's his tendency to work with bad screenplay that's holding him back. Pain and Gain was him working with a good script for once and it just happened to come out as one of the best movies of the decade.

How could anyone possibly make an argument that it's not Cameron? He's the most successful director ever and he hardly ever fucking directs. Directing is like a hobby to him yet every movie he's made has been hugely successful and enjoyable. Not to mention the two highest grossing movies of all time were his.

Why do people that make visual collages always have the worst taste for shots?

love how Yea Forums at its most is about to talk about 4-6 directors and they're always the biggest, most famous directors you can think of

this Pain n Gain was good shit, would be even better if didn't cut every 2 secs and let the actors perform a little bit more. His visuals are as good if better than David Fincher's.

>His visuals are as good if better than David Fincher's.
You are actually mentally challenged.

James Cameron is the best director of all time
Spielberg is a pedo hack
Same with Zemeckis
Nolan is pretty based but he's not a great action director

Speak English

That and Fincher knows how to work a camera and make good use of editing.

Those are the marks of a good visual storyteller not pretty pictures.

nah, you're just brainwashed like a fucking retard by media.
Bay was invited to join Propaganda films one of the biggest production company in the late 80's where guess who also worked? that's right Fincher.
Nolan himself has stated that he studies Bay films to copy the action of them.

Truth is no one can handle a long lens like Bay does.

You are a fucking idiot. I'm sorry you were produced at all.

Spielberg is a fucking hack who's glory years are well behind him. He hasn't made a good or even decent movie in over a decade.

>zoomer who likes nolan and wasn't old enough to watch spielberg films at the pictures

the absolute state of (You)

>Bay was invited to join Propaganda films one of the biggest production company in the late 80's where guess who also worked? that's right Fincher.
Oh, well that must mean that they're of equal talent, right?
You fucking moron.
>Nolan himself has stated that he studies Bay films to copy the action of them.
Because Nolan sucks at action.

They're really close if anything, but Fincher's movies are so different that they are rarely compared to each other.

>Oh, well that must mean that they're of equal talent, right?
>be the best and biggest video production company that makes stunning commercials and music videos
>be Fincher one of the founders
>invite anyone to join your company that you don't think is as good as or even better than you

>itt zoomers shit on film legends to appease their flavour of the week popcorn gods

You have actually deluded yourself into believing this, haven't you?

u dum

>Because Nolan sucks at action.
Nolan sucks at hand to hand combat but his set pieces are fine desu. They're usually more easier to follow than Bay for me.

Most of the time Nolan's action set pieces don't really make sense. That semi flip in The Dark Knight makes zero sense, for instance.

Exactly, because everyone knows that in order to get a job at directing commercials visuals are not that important.

Have you ever seen a commercial?

It's an action scene in a capeshit. I don't expect it to follow the laws of physics. They just need to be tense and cool to watch.

If it made sense Batman would be dead in the first half of Batman begins.

Peak Speilberg > Cameron > Emmerich > Nolan

1) Spielberg

2) Cameron

Jim Cameron is probably the most successful blockbuster director on a per film basis, with only 7 films he is the 4 highest grossing director of all time. Most of his films are original stories and has the 2 highest grossing movies ever where he has held the top spot for 22 yrs. However, Cameron usually sticks to the scifi genre with Titanic being obvious exception.

The same cannot be said for Spielberg. Who with the success of Jaws ushered in the age of the modern blockbuster. Spielberg's filmography is unparalleled in its diversity and succes. In terms of box office success and ticket sales Spielberg is in a league of his own.

Oh wow there's someone in the thread who isn't a complete dipshit. Are you new or is this elaborate bait?

Not new and not bait.

Nolan is one of the few Hollywood directors who still do passion projects he wants to do personally without anyone interfering whatsoever.
He has 100% artistic integrity and works only with absolute creative freedom. The only demands he obeys from the studio is being done before the deadline and under the budget, which he does every single time without exception and why is he so loved by Warner bros.
And every single film of his becomes both a financial and critical success no matter the subject with no additional "directors cuts" because his theatrical cut is always the definitive directors cut.
No matter what you think of the quality of his films, he makes every film out of passion/desire to make that film, not because some studio exec calculated what should be done.

He basically has full creative freedom and untouched artistic integrity at a big budget Hollywood blockbuster

Whether you like his movies or not, I think everyone should find Nolan to be a pretty respectable guy.

>oversaturated money shots = good cinematography

I like Bay because he's so unapologetic and his movies are spectacles but he's not a visual artist by any stretch.
