Rebel Moon 2 - Made By Morons For Morons (Review)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 29 май 2024
- Rebel Moon Part 2 just released on Netflix and I think it is even worse than Rebel Moon Part 1. In this Rebel Moon Part 2 review I detail all the reasons this film sucks. But also what's crazy is that Zack Snyder ignored all of The critiques made by The Critical Drinker and doubled down on everything that ruined the first Rebel Moon film. But this comes as no surprise as he said in a recent interview that he refuses to listen to critics on the internet, but clearly that would actually help him, because he doesn't seem to realise why his movies aren't resonating with audiences.

Snyder - I don't listen to fans.
Fans - the reason he got his Justice League Snyder Cut released.
Than dissing Geek and Gamers and everyone else during the charity live stream.
@@mikeh4825 It's ego. He thinks it happened all because of him. Crazy part is that people wanted his Justice League because the Theatrical Cut was bad and they knew there was another version to be completed.
His cut of JL was still terrible. Yes it was better but that doesn't say much
I never did understand why people didn’t like the justice league Snyder cut. I thought it was dark and good. I like dark superhero movies.
It came out that bots were used to inflate that demand.
Zack Snyder is a classic example of refusing to improve
Him and Michael bay had potential but they ignored their criticisms and continued to make crap until they reached bottom
@@adamcade604 At least Michael Bay can actually write some decent characters.
@@adamcade604Michael bay is way better than hack Snyder
@@broghad8241agreed.
What a shame.
Both movies were filmed back to back so it's not like the fan criticism would've had any impact on the outcome of the 2nd movie.
I canceled Netflix because of this movie and emailed them and told them why and that I will probably get over it but it's going to take time and a six month break was in order.
lol
It took you this long to stop supporting Netflix ? While they spat on and hated every normal person and mocked and ridiculed fans ? DONT THINK CONSUM PRODUCT, BUY NEXT PRODUCT!
You did a small thing, but the right thing.
You really cancelled your entire subscription because you found one film you didn't like?
@@liamdalemon1525 It more than just this film and I will get it back but yeah kind of
The WTF 😖 of part 2.
- The wheat harvest is slowing down... too... too long.
- KORA tells Gunnar her story: she killed Princess ISSA and her father betrayed her and accused her of being a murderer.
- NEMESIS tells her story: she cuts off her arms to put on prosthetics...she tolerates the pain well...
- The Empire sends hundreds of ships, tanks, hundreds of soldiers and they miss their target.
- JIMMY faces the tank in front of soldiers who do not shoot, one more tank shot from Jimmy...
- KORA tenses up in a room which controls the Cannons, no guards, yes one who does not retaliate.
- Useless slow motion combat
- The end dialogue between KORA and TITUS he tells him that Princess ISSA is still alive !?
Also how did the rebel fleet knew the place, day and time (although a little late) to show up?
I really like Bill Haders take on criticism, if someone says something is wrong about ur art they are probably right there is something off but their suggestion to fix it is usually shit.
I mostly agree but if the suggestion is "write an interesting story" they might be on to something lmao
People who were begging for Snyder cut of JL are trying to find excuses
He's made a couple of decent movies, otherwise Snyder is crap.
I can't think of any director as overrated as he is
The best he's done is watchable moveis
Man of Steel, 300, Wonder Woman and his version of Justice League were all great tbh.
@@DennisSlungardso great that they cancelled the dceu
@@DennisSlungardhe didn't direct Wonder Woman. He did direct the Watchmen though, which was great.
He is a decent director (mainly Watchmen and 300), but a shitty writer, but he deluded himself that he can do it all.
I watched the reviews from Drinker & Disparu, Jesse - the latter's review for Part 2 showed me that the man couldn't even film harvesting in the proper order- let alone craft the nuances & complexities necessary for a modern space epic, such as he's supposedly imagining.
I found myself screaming, "That is *not* the order of how you harvest a crop!" You reap first, bind the sheaves into bundles, stook - stand the bundles up to dry in the field [which they don't do], cart the grain, glean the leftovers, & then thresh & winnow near the grain store, so you don't have to move it as far.
"You don't thresh or winnow in the middle of the f^cking field *_while_* the harvest is still going! What the f^ck?!"
Oh, & harvested grain was usually left as grain until needed for use, because it lasted _longer_ in that form -- hope you lot like the taste of weevils & rancid flour...
And it's just such a stupid premise in the first movie; an imperial commander getting pissy about some inconsequential village wanting to do *the normal thing* & keep some of their harvest back for next season's planting- & him stupidly wanting to wipe them out because of that?!
It's one lousy village - take what they're able to offer, & then go to the next village on the sh^tty _farm _*_planet_* /moon- whatever, & if you don't get your desired total allotment from the one- go to the next 'farming planet' in your vicinity, & just keep tallying it up 'til you hit your necessary total -- it can't *possibly* be the only place to get grain- on the planet, nor in the galaxy - & *what* value is there in killing a workforce?
'10 Commandments' said it best: "Men make bricks - the strong make many - the weak make few; the dead make none."
This isn't even getting into the actual **big** issues of characters, characterisation, dialogue, or action -- it's _just_ in relation to the initial premise, & then the harvesting.
Seriously, it's just a *highly* flawed premise, from the get-go...
thats a hint of unintelligent writing, so it was just a young child writting the story out of his pure naive imagination, even Star Wars was a fun space flick trhat did take care of large scale politics. it was no a space quest movie, it was a dungeons and dragons movie
The only reason I know that part 2 of this movie came out is because of you so Snyder should be glad you guys exist
Bahahahaha free marketing lol
Oh wait this is about a second part? I watched the whole video and thought it was about the first one lmfao.
I just found out thanks to this video 😆
Yea! I barely saw advertising for this movie. Tbh, this Snyder deserves no advertising for this movie! His level of dismissiveness to the valid length of online constructive criticisms for his work is rude and offensive. A ton of advertising is done online. But if he’s gonna turn around and be rude and disrespectful, completely dismissing constructive criticism that’s found on the Internet, the Internet doesn’t deserve to advertise or promote movie.
Zack Snyder didn't attack the Drinker. All he said (which was a blatant lie on his part) is that he doesn't listen to "online feedback." He only got to do his Snyder Cut of the Justice League because he and Hollywood listened to online feedback. But nowhere in any interview, in any online response or tweet, has he attacked the Critical Drinker. Jesse, if you're going to be an online journalist type channel please do your research and don't mislead your audience with clickbait titles. That's what Hollywood does with fake-out trailers and misleading advertising. You need to be better than that. Otherwise you're just as bad as they are, no matter how good your intentions may otherwise be.
At this point he's doing better than actual PROFESSIONAL reporters
@@notimportant1659thats a low bar tho
He's the guy who peaked in high school with 300 and just rinse and repeats
My man made the masterpiece Watchmen and then made this trash 😅😢
@Gabriel-all if you say so. I thought watchmen was 6.5/10
@@KoalaT420 No way LoL
@Gabriel-all lol
Rebel Moon Part 2: Slow Mo Giver.
😂
😂
The slow-moving grain was just bad lol
I think the slwo mo in fallout is worse.
@@crackode2411 It's not over done like Zach films though, slow mo in itself isn't the issue, Zach over does it. Slow motion water, grain, etc. It's comedy at this point.
Nah, Rebel Moon is trash, but there is no value in listening to movie critics or people online. 😂 Movie critics and people online have no idea how to tell a story. Is there any evidence in my or your resume that you shows that either of us know anything about storytelling? No there isnt. He should listen to other directors and writers like the Nolan brothers, McQuirrie, Scorsese, Tarantino etc. The problem is he listens to nobody but his stupid fans
-What's your story?
-My father's brother's nephew's cousin's former roommate was killed by the emperor!
-Oh the pain, the pain!
(Remember....it's a 6 movie Trilogy!
Rebel Moon looked incredibly unappealing from the beginning and now i know not to bother.
Came very close to working on Watchmen, but was pulled onto another project. My instructor worked with Snyder continuously. From what I can tell, Zack is good at making music videos, and that's about it. If what he produces has to be like a music video, then we're golden. But anything more complex than that and it stops working entirely. His big hit was 300, because it was visually different, and most importantly, it was made cheaply, thanks to greenscreens. It make the director look like a sure-thing money guy. You bet on him and he does something amazing for pennies. That's what every producer wants. So, they pile on. Sign him up for a ton of shows, but he keeps making the same damn slow motion music video with pointless eye candy. As a director, he doesn't seem to evolve at all. Maybe some people would watch his films just for his signature CG look, but it's getting rather costly to produce, and returns are diminishing. Zack has overstayed his welcome. Each "try" costs producers money. His costs go up. His returns go down. His ego... well... I think he thinks he's good, but that's because he's surrounded by "yes" men at this point. Nobody says no to him, aside from internet critics.
1) They harvest the fields with 1800 century tools, yet a floating wagon technology is right next to them.
2) Stores grain in barn, just to move it the next morning around the long house.
3) Spends halve a day to pull out the spaceship with ropes, yet she climbs in and starts it up first time.
4) Goes through 2 waves of tediously enemies and loose a lot of people, James finally ball up and destroy the 3rd wave in seconds.
5) They do a weapons checks, says we must watch our rounds (bullets) yet lasers are used 100% of the time 😂
Just a view shitty ideas that didn't get cut out of the script, the whole movie could've been 40 minutes long.
All valid points, although I missed where he attacked Critical Drinker specifically, as the title of the video claims. Can anyone navigate me to a time stamp please? Beyond "I don't read the opinions on the internet" bit.
Attacked or ignored? Attacked?!
3:57 what's that a Cosmic Py$$y stargate.?
Great band name … 🪐🐱✨⛩
Even the stargate is a Mary Sue now.
I thought the warp gate looked like a vagina.
Yeah can I use that as my band name?
@@Mouse_Metal Can't wait for the t-shits: Stargates are female, has the same impact as a pen being racist, making me facepalm.
The Martha moment will always haunt me everytime i saw his name.
😂
WHY DID YOU SAY THAT NAME😤
Every time I go to work, I pass a street named Martha and think, "Why is it called that NAME!?"
Zack Snyder rebel moon part 2:
Trimming grass with scythe in slow motion, walking simulator in slow motion, reaping the grain with a sickle in slo motion, laughing in slow motion, kids running in slow motion, girl boss Kora fight in slow motion, the only good slow motion Anthony Hopkins fight scene that makes sense, girl boss Kora being tossed into the ground from heights by general Noble breaking her neck and back she walks from there like nothing happened to her, 20 minutes of table talk about each member’s background story trying to figure out which story sounds better, 3 musicians in the background plays the violin on a already recorded track matching their musical emotions with the people fighting dramatically in the foreground, and no one asked them, I guess musicians always knows!😓🐽 Death of a nonexistent boyfriend relationship that no really cares about, no one even asked for this movie and why is Anthony Hopkins voicing in this movie? The End. I finally watched this after a while and I can’t go back now unfortunately. If you know any more puns about this film add ‘em up here.🔻👇
I saw:
Firefly
Starship Troopers
Roughneck Chronicles - Starship Troopers
Battleship: Yamamoto
Battle Beyond the Stars
Gladiator
revisionist-Magnificent Seven (2016)
.... and then I just stopped caring.
Eight minutes twenty three seconds in and no details about a direct criticism from Zack Snyder to Critical Drinker. No receipts about a specific “backfire” regarding something Zack Snyder said from a Critical Drinker point. I think that’s called clickbait.
Man, it's everywhere. These guys can't help themselves. The hate & pain is so palpable I'm legitimately feeling bad for these guys. How can a director hurt you so bad you make up stories about him just to hurt his image.
I don't watch a Scorsese film for action or watch a Nolan film for typical linear story telling. There's something really messed up about guys like this.
Yeah just know his vids are gonna be clickbait regurgitated specs from critical drinker, nerdrotic, or disparu. But aye, he’s saying what the big RUclipsrs are so he’ll get something from it 🤷🏽♂️
Yup. He is just throwing out names to ride coat tails
@@phillriley9688 nah he sucks, his mediocrity hurts.
He's been on drinkers 🥜 for some time now🤦♂️, which he would hop off them cuz he does make good content
This review is exaggerated , this could have been much much better , but it wasn’t Kazam bad or matrix revolution bad and definitely not justice league or wonder women bad. I think he just needs to make his movies into series with multiple writers that clearly understand his vision and can better articulate it into a story that makes your heart pound and skip a few beats. Zack to me is a visionary and sometimes visionary can see it but can’t put the words or structure or even heart of it on to paper, he needs a partner to help him hone in his craft. I think rebel moon is a project personal in regards to his lost. I think rebel
Moon Is a great idea and concept and its definitely is not horrible, just missing the heart in the writhing and the proper structure to feel each scene.
It's hilarious, when she fights and it's not technically slow motion, yet it still looks like slow motion.
Ahahahahahahah
I couldn’t even get through this movie. I didn’t care about a single character. No real plot, no character development and a terrible script!
If Zack Snyder doesn't want studio interference then he should self-fund his movies.
I tried to finish the first movie for an ongoing project. It was the first movie I've ever watched and couldn't get myself to finish. It leaves you with so little.
Didn't have interest in the first and equally as much in this one.
Smart man! Both are utterly horrendous
@@thejessegrant just as an aside. Growing up as a child of the 60's and 70's (I was 15 when Star Wars released), practical miniatures and mat painting varied in quality depending on the project but the writing and acting really helped the suspension of disbelief. Now it's just the opposite, unbelievable cgi and special effects but such horrible writing that I can't hardly watch a trailer without going meh.
It’s a shame it had so much promise. I think it would have been better as a series with more character development, back stories
Rebel Moon felt like a bunch of concepts slapped together since it was an original SW pitch, but then he never took the time to carefully craft the elements of this movie together to make it make sense. It was a very lazy execution of a film. Not even a Snyder cut can redeem this film.
I was watching it and paused it halfway through and said outloud to myself "is it me or does this movie really suck?" And I typed in Google rebel moon 2 sucks and saw a bunch of videos like this. I have concluded that it is not just me. 😮
This was shot as one movie cut in two and then chopped up for PG 13. There was no second part that is why there is no change.
Being the devil's advocate: So many movie sequels are made back-to- back or even the same time that I don't think course correction is possible. Also, constant course correction was what made WB DC movies suck, even when Snyder left. My suggestion is that people should listen previous criticism before they even start a movie, and producers should stop creating trilogies and cinematic universes before even a single movie comes out from that franchise. WB's greatest achievement was to through the cinematic universe out, say fuck it, and let totally independent projects, Joker, the last Batman, and the second Suicide Squad happen.
Snyder is a director, not much of a writer, neither of which he does well, and has never spent time interacting with his audience. He acts like he was failed by the fans. But in actuality, he failed to listen or create something fun, and this is the result. The problems with Rebel Moon for me it felt like every other space opera I've seen, only the execution was done poorly because it didn't try to be unique or understand their characters. Not saying you can't be inspired by elements that came before it. That's why revamps exist. Like how Alex Flynn modernizing Sleeping Beauty and Beauty and the Beast, combining the fairytale elements with a suburban or city setting. Or how Mamoru Hosoda took Beauty and the Beast and made Belle into an Internet singer, and the beast was a fan with a terrible home life that needed help. It's what you do with the concept that makes it different. Rebel Moon was boring slow-mo.
I'm not sure why people are shocked that the second part was any different. He shot both parts at the same time and the only reason the second part came out later is Post-Processing and special effects.
Some scènes are incredible visually but a coherent story with interesting characters and dialog seems not to be his thing.
HIS FOCUS GROUP IS MADE UP OF FRIENDS AND FAMILY THAT KISSES HIS ASS TYPICAL HOLLYWOOD
Zack is the only director whom which promotes his “R-rated directors cut” around the time of the films releases.
Actually Zach is right about not paying attention to Internet criticism. Pretty much all creators should stay off twitter.
Losing his child might've fried his brain..
Too dark?
I lost it when they dug that trench and set bombs up under it and instead of setting them off to take out Noble when he landed, they waited till he left to set off the bomb lol It was already bad enough watching Nemesis take on 3 regular soldiers and LOSING but the peasants with the guys just stood there and watched her fight the whole time lol
They disrespected Nemesis so badly in this movie. They didnt even acknowledge her sacrifice like she didnt matter, and she barely had any dialogues in this movie 😢
Some Directors are really great when supervised. Then you give them unlimited creative control and access to the writing and they go to shit. Example: Wonder Woman was really good in my opinion, the Director was given left and right limits and the film did well... so well on 1984 they unleashed her to the world giving basically unlimited creative control and she made a shit show of a film. Zack Snyder may have done so well as a Director it was to his own detriment. They gave him too much control.
Just finished watching - IT IS worse than Madame Web!!!
I don't think they necesarilly need to listen to feedback. If they have a strong vision, let them pursue their dream. Movie don't need to be fit-for-all merchandize.
But on the other hand they must then accept, that their dream may be rejected and forgotten afterwards.
Once you refuse to listen an learn, you are doomed to repeat and amplify your mistakes. The only reason people won't listen to criticism is arrogance. I understand him not looking at every single criticism, but what he should look at is the most popular ones, because if everyone is saying the same thing, they just might have a point, and he could have an opportunity for improvement.
The fact Netflix bankrolled this movie is not surprising. Netflix these days are now notoriously known for making movies with zero quality. But tbh Zach Synder has not made a good movies since 300
Not recommending the internet is like not recommending a dictionary to learn a language, because it is full of words you will never use. Yet if you know where to look, all the things you need are in there.
Arrogant people never listen or learn from their mistakes. After all, it was not THEIR fault that what they made failed. It HAS to be someone else's fault. The only way Zach Snyder will get better is for him to get off of his high horse and humble himself. Only then will he listen to the fans and MAYBE he will see things as they really are. Then he can correct his mistakes and become better at what he does. I seriously doubt this will happen.
The only thing I can say is captain sh!t pants….
Ahaha
But Zack says we have to wait until the directors cut is released to see his full vision. This guy is Hollywoods luckiest director of photography.
Since vampire movies are making a comeback (sort of) my wish for a vampire movie is a rated R movie titled. Elizabeth Bathory The Blood Countess and it's directed by Guillermo Del Toro and the infamous historic figure/monster is performed by Hayley Atwell. Well she really isn't a vampire the only reason why she is called The Blood Countess is because of the vile, horrific, and disgusting antics that she done with young women/girls.
The final one on one fight was good, and yes, also the performances deserve some praise, for they did the best they could with the garbage of a script provided.
Fun Fact: the actual screen time filming was only 75 mins… the rest was all extended by the slow motion
The Snyderverse is definitely woke ! 🙄🤦🏽♂️
huh? kora almost got killed if its not for her boyfriend
1) Rebel Moon Part 1 came out last year, I would wager that Rebel Moon Part 2 was probably mostly already done by that point; so, even if Zack were to listen to criticism about Part 1, there probably wouldn't be too much he could do about it.
2) Correction: it's not that he doesn't have to listen to everything critics say; he doesn't have to listen to ANYTHING critics say. Not a damn thing.
Now, to be clear: I'm not a Snyder fan. I didn't hate his contributions to DCEU (Man of Steel, and Batman v. Superman), 300 is pretty good, and I like Watchmen; I haven't and don't intend to watch Justice League Snyder Cut; and haven't watched nor have any plans to watch, Rebel Moon.
We are not movie fans. We ARE movie costumers. Everyone has forgotten that
Makes it easier for them to hide behind there arrogance and ignorance calling us toxic fans. No one would of could say we are toxic consumers.
Just came here after living through the sequel. Quite literally after, the forward button didn't work anymore. I had to take a break and check out Honest Trailers in between.
What happens when nobody says "no"
Hollywood has become a ghost of its former self. Ever since 2020, things have gotten progressively worse and worse, to the point where Hollywood directors, including those that have been around for years, have been acting like they're perfection.
Showing their true faces because the know they get away with it.
Surely by the time Zach Snyder had heard any criticism of the first film, this film would have been mostly, if not completely, filmed. I'm not saying that he would have listened, but I certainly don't think there was ever any chance that the criticism, constructively received or otherwise, could have affected this sequel in any meaningful way.
I liked the first part and I was intrigued but second part I lost interest when it was revealed that scargiver was responsible for the princess death and the royal family. As soon it became clear she’s nothing but a cold blooded killer I stopped watching it. Very disappointed.
I thought this was harsh then I saw both myselves.. my gods..
The worst thing about this is that the ending teases a sequel... OMG.
1 and 2 were made at 1 time ...
Not separate.
That’s fine you think you’d cancel it then and re do it if possible seeing as the first one was such an abysmal flop. But I see your point
Didn't Zack Snyder himself ask why anyone would like _Star Wars The Force Awakens_ today? Like, he all but apologized for making that movie, and he's doubling down on making a far worse cinematic disaster of another Star Wars movie? 🤨
I was one of those people who turned the first movie off , I lasted about 30 mins, then gave up, Dune and Rebel moon, two different films both ends of the scale.
The first 40 Minutes of the movie is basically a heroic slow-mo shot of farmers making bread.
I started watching but after the scene of the princess assassination, I knew it is utter garbage and Snyder vomitted another one on a dish for Netflix
I lost interest in Rebel Moon part 1 and didn't see it to the end. The bit of the movie that I watched was boring and unoriginal, but I came to that conclusion on my own. The "toxicity" of online critics, is when they tell us not watch a movie like we're suppose to just accept their opinion and not form one of our own. The "toxicity" of online critics is when they organise their mindless fanboy minions in targeted campaigns against movies and even to personal attacks against actors and directors themselves. I don't see how fanning flames of hate equals a movie review, but that's how many online critics make their money. Some online critics even start organising attacks on movie projects way before they are released. While I agree that the movie industry often churns out big budgeted incredibly mind numbing rehashed swill, I don't see how an online movie "critic" has a tenable position to tell his audience not to watch a movie. Bad as that movie may be, that audience would not have a valid opinion if they did not experience that bad movie for themselves.
The thing though is that he shot part 2 back to back with part 1, so he wouldn’t have been able to react to valid criticism much anyway, other than perhaps in the edit. It was bloody awful though!
Rebel Moon is a psychological test which Rorschack could use for interrogation
Zack has always been a bad writer. All his good movies are ones that he adapted from previous works.
If it weren't for his Visual concepts, he wouldn't still be working. He needs to work with someone good at writing. I swear to Gawd, he starts off with what visuals can we do and then tries to connect them with lousy writing
@@jchawkenspoet3099 I completely agree.
@@jchawkenspoet3099Snyder does amazing action and visuals. He needs to be teamed with a great writer.
I've got mixed feelings about this video. First of all thank you for warning me about this movie. But on the other hand I didn't know the movie existed and now I do. Thanks, I think.
Madam Web: my god, my director is so bad I’m probably the worse movie of the year.
Snyder: Hold my bleach.
10 minutes into the movie, everything turned great, epic and unbelievably good, then I woke up.
Snyder has a skill and is capable. However, he needs less script control and reigning in on scripts and editing. His scripts always seem poor. Nothing ever seems tight.
I couldn't even finish the first one...
I don’t blame you 😂
Rebel Moon: Go against the grain.
When Snyder made good movies, it's because he had talent on this side that made his vision work. Snyder is a visionary (clearly 'visible' in his movies), but he is not a talented writer. His backgrounds as a director for commercials shows all reason for why he can visualise but not write.
Well, here's one movie I wont be stealing
I find it offensive how he dismissed the INCREDIBLY lengthy amounts of constructive criticism that is found online! To dismiss valid, thought-out critiques is offensive. I am officially not a fan of him!
Plot? What plot? Some dudes defend some town for some reason. That's the plot...
My movie hopes are all pinned into the new Planet Of The Apes, Sonic The Hedgehog 3, and Avatar 3, even though that's coming out in a year or so.
This news doesn't surprise me 😂
I think every director needs someone to reign them in. Look at Peter Jackson's King Kong, one person with an editing deck and the authority to make cuts could have turned that slog into a masterpiece.
We're watching the eternal battle between ego and art.
I will believe Critical Drinker than Zack lol...
He didn't ignore anything. The movies were made at the same time, just one released a short while after the other. So basically they were both bad from the get go.
That one shot with the woman firing a gun...is...is that a plastic toy gun???
going from watching dune part 2 to this is crazy, it's like you're at the top of a skyscraper and plummet straight to the foot of the skyscraper in terms of a quality drop
He lost me when he started going in about the Snyder Cut. He missed the point of the Snyder Cut. It was because he ended up not getting to finish Justice League and Joss Whedon took over halfway so it ceased being his movie. Also "Directors Cuts" is not solely a Zach Snyder thing. That point go lost.
So bad. It would take 30 minutes to properly critique the battles in this movie. It used the usual Avatar-style tactics of "hey, we own an orbital battleship... how about we fly down there and fight them up close?" It's utter garbage. It uses the Star Wars stormtrooper trope: play them up as menacing and dangerous when in fact they can't shoot straight, they allow heroes to get in their face without ever firing their weapon, and their armor doesn't stop ANYTHING. Not a penknife, not a punch, not a bullet, not a laser.... Look, if the bad guys are this incompetent, one begins to question how they menaced the entire galaxy. Oh, and if you didn't know the bad guys were bad guys... their ships belched black smoke like the reavers on Firefly... polluting is pure evil right? Not a scene, not a costume, not a plot point wasn't stolen. It's basically the anime Samurai Seven, with road warrior face paint, 1930's construction worker outfits, and Amish farmers. And WHY were they shoveling coal down in the belly of the battleship?!? So bad.
Critical drinker is not toxic, he is intoxicated. Get it right, Zack!
Before I started watching I thought 2 hours and 3 minutes, that’s a pretty short runtime. 30 minutes in I was bored and done. Farming is not science fiction… did anyone else watch Starblazers/ Space Battleship Yamato back in the 80’s? Snyder can’t even come up with original starship design.
I am trying to watch it right now and it’s so awful, especially this dialogue.
Such as main character guy and Koras exchange when he pulled out the bloody military suit thing and we got
“this won’t be easy to get out”
Kora “Leave it, it’s perfect”💪💪💪😂😂😂
Soon followed up by “The Generals” story dump about surrendering and having to be honest
“I just want to make sure you all know this before standing and fighting with me tomorrow…I WONT BE SURRENDERING!!”😂😂😂
Idk how I am going to finish this thing.
Ahahahah don’t even bother finishing it ahahaha
These movies are kind of material when you switch off your brain and watch the fireworks. I watched part I but I don't remember most of it.
Ahahaha watch John wick for that don’t bother with this shit ahaha
I am going to be honest and admit I did love the action scenes in the last hour, like Attack of the Clones battle of Geonosis with good CGI. But my god getting there took 3 hours because I paused it to go do something else then come back. And like you said you don't care about the characters, you could litterally watch the last hour and wouldn't lose anything. Also I wondered why did they bring not Francis from Deadpool back to life if he's just gonna go nuts and get himself killed again.... like give it up mate.
So why did people want the Snyder cut again?
Zach Snyder is the Paul W.S Anderson of the 2010s
Remember how Anderson made some ok movies early in his career? Event Horizon , Soldier, first Death Race movie? And the rest of his films were absolutely terrible? Well AVP was ok
Zach arguably has a few more good films under his belt, so there is that
Imagine getting millions of dollars and working with Anthony Hopkins only to make REBEL MOON 😬
