Potential of cinema?
No, I get that when I watch Spielberg's films. Or Yorgis Lanthimos' most recent entry. There's honest to god ingenuity there.
When I watch Snyder's generally what comes to mind is "can they tone it down a little?", "excessive", and "yikes that dialogue was cringe, can we get this guy away from the script?"
There might be some influence but only like 20% of what he's doing with those superhero flicks would be wise to borrow from if you want to make good movies. There are some epic shots, and some dynamic action sequences (when done right) but that's about where it starts and ends with him.
