You of all people should know better - that's kind of ridiculous. There are so many other people's sticky fingers on this production, as with all Hollywood productions, that to lay blame for the entire process on the director is nothing short of naive. If it was up to him, we would've gotten an entirely different cut. We probably would've gotten an entirely different draft. A lot of this is compromise. Warner Bros. gave him a lot of flexibility, moreso than most probably, but it is a Hollywood studio production with certain mandates no matter who is behind the camera.
He's a director in Hollywood. Nobody gets to make all the decisions.
On his end, he did an admirable job. Even the sharpest critics have noted that the film has a lot of visual flair, just not a lot else. He did an impressive job of recreating the panels.
Now did Snyder goof up? I'd say music selection, for sure. Should have gotten a better editor, which does fall into his realm of his control. The fight choreography was flat, especially since it carried no emotional weight. And inserting non-existent fight sequences into the film is an indicator that you don't think your script holds up (needs more action beats!).
