Listened to the review on patreon. Now watching it for a 2nd time to hear Angry Devindras thoughts..... Which is now more times than i'll ever watch rebel moon
I've been listening to comedy podcasts - often 6+ hours a day - since 2005 and am here to report that when Devindra's _ON_ he's more hilarious than _a looooot_ of people who are professionally funny folks.
I've read that Snyder's favorite movie is "Excalibur", and I can totally see that in everything Snyder makes. I'd actually love to see him actually just DO his update of Excalibur. Other than that, he should just be a cinematographer for a better director.
He should stick to doing direct adaptations For me, Snyder has three tiers of quality 1 - Direct adaptations - Watchmen, DOD, owls and 300 are his best work 2 - existing IP adaptations - Man of steel, Batman, V, superman, ultimate edition and Justice league Snyder cut his next best batch 3 - original work, I love his concepts and visuals with the execution in story isn’t always there, sucker punch is my favorite out of this batch, it also includes rebel moon, and army of the dead
I don't think he should be cinematographer. I think his films got uglier when he became his own cinematographer. Larry Fong made his films look so much better than his Netflix films.
@@marcuscisneros8528 His visuals and concepts are very generic. It's stuff other have done before only better. He changes it a little to avoid a total crib.
He should just leave movies altogether and do videogames (still, he needs to be kept far away from any involvement on the story). However, I do recognize that does not make any financial sense for him and considering the state of the videogames industry, despite having had a great year in 2023, I wouldn't jump in there either.
This movie is way more Warhammer 40,000 than Star Wars. It may have started as a Star Wars idea but it clearly morphed. Honestly, the names of the Imperium, I mean Motherworld are pure Warhammer Latin. Ed Skrein is dressed like a Kommisar. The troopers look just like Imperial Guard.
I share Devindra's sentiments on this. (Referring to the individual with an Indian appearance.) Personally, I didn't enjoy the movie, but for those who did, good for you. I was hoping to find it entertaining, but it ended up being a bit boring for me.
Go watch (and learn the fun history of**) the 1980 film "Battle Beyond the Stars". I'm pretty sure THAT'S the actual story Zack Snyder heavily borrowed from/reimagined. ** Take special note of a young James Cameron's special effects work in this shameless Star Wars/Seven Samurai/The Magnificent Seven cash-in... that has some fun characters and is a fantastic conversation starter when looping in the background at a party :)
I couldnt believe they demanded 12,000 bushels of wheat. The dreadnought has a flower mill? To turn the wheat into bread and pasta? What a weird choice
I’m actual more curious to watch this now after this 😂 It sounds like a movie by AI lolll… I’m definitely not a Zack Snyder fan I only liked 300… the rest were okay or just super annoying.
What this movie NEEDS - Gunnar has to show more him attracted to Kora. Jimmy needs to be shown to be a protector of Veldt as well as Private Aris . Otherwise you bring Aris. Sam I’m guessing could he Issa do more of her. Tarak- should be readin he would be expected to ride the griffin . He’s speaking another language. Should be native to his planet. Nemesis- sone kind of meeting before elevator as well as a reason nobody just shot the spider lady in the head. Anything with Titus. If Titus barely gets anymore I think that’s ok. But the other things I see as a necessity.
I'm a general lover of sci-fi games and movies, and they don't have to be great or even good for me to enjoy. But when I tell you that it was mind melting chore to watch this thing, I'm not kidding. I had fallen asleep in the middle of the movie and took me about another couple of days to muster the drive to watch the rest. It was so bad.
Immediately reminded me of the early days of this podcast when Devindra NEVER said anything bad about bad movies in this manner. He finally got real. There have been many films which they have reviewed which were deserving of this reaction which they actually praised. **Avengers … cough, cough…
I’m a huge Snyder fan and I was bummed out. Fair critiques here . I felt the same about the beginning . I was IN. I also liked the ending as well. But everything in between it didn’t let you care about the characters .
It is telling that even the two people who initially went "well, I didn't hate it", end up becoming livelier when going over how much they didn't like specific parts in the spoiler section. 😄
I fell asleep watching this review. Must be all that slo-mo. (I passed a good night, thank you very much.) I think I spotted some Dutch angles, one mystery box, a whole lot of J J’s lens flare.
Jeff, another Snyderverse groupie😂. Snyder is a copy and paste MTV style music video visualist who can't write scripts worth a damn. Too much slo mo, dark cinematography filter palate with out of focus backgrounds. The only interesting character is hamming it up as a perverted space nazi. No character development squeezed into a 2plus hour film instead of it being a 8 episode series to flesh out the plot. Imagine Game of Thrones as a feature film. Disaster! After 20 minutes, I fell asleep it was soo boring. Netflix is doing the Justice League extended cut gimmick by releasing a extended cut to secure more subscribers from the Snyderverse cultists. Don't believe the hype already. To quote Admiral Akbar "Its a TRAP"😂
I wish you guys would stop interrupting and stepping on each other's thoughts. It's really frustrating for a newbie to try to listen to you. It's like you guys don't listen to each other, you're all so eager to jump in with your own thoughts. I think I would have enjoyed this; it sounds like, in the beginning at least, there was some difference of opinion, but then it just seemed to merge into chaos.
This has clear delineation of who to root for. Clearly can tell bad from good. Yes its super derivative. As long as its entertaining and has characters you care about and believable motivations it can be a good movie. This by far is way way better then Zack's superman and justice league movies. Those were soulless, dark and empty special effect spectacles. Rebel moon actually has a real narrative you want to follow and some heart and soul. Meaning it has some actual human characters you want to care about.
One of the worst Zack Snyder groupies is man child Aaron Fisher's youtube channel. This person worships Snyder like a God, I kid you not. Funny and pitiful at the same time. He watched this turd of a film FOUR TIMES and loved it even more after each viewing😂. Insane in the membrane😂
The first Star Wars was a culture-changing film; Rebel Moon is a fart in the wind. There won't be anything beyond this next part. There's nothing there.
imagine making the editorial decision to position the film discussion about this pile of trash netflix Snyder nonsense movie free to public but to push the discussion about Poor Things behind a patreon wall. says about all that needs to be said about this podcast in 2024.
The amount of people who would want to hear the guys’ thoughts on a movie everyone is shitting on would far outnumber the amount of people who would want to hear the guys’ thoughts on literally any other recent movie. Of course they are going to give (the majority of) the people what they want. 🤷♂️
"Bird just showed up that morning" 😂😂😂😂 Yes!
I was kind of disappointed you didn't do Poor Things as the main review but seeing Devindra tear this movie apart was worth it.
Listened to the review on patreon. Now watching it for a 2nd time to hear Angry Devindras thoughts..... Which is now more times than i'll ever watch rebel moon
4-hour Zack Snyder sneers at 2.5-hour Zack Snyder. "That guy's a hack. I'm going to fix what he bastardized."

this review is an all time classic !!!! ... but i credit the source material for elevating the general humor on this episode of the podcast 😂😆😆🤣🤣

Been waiting for this review lol Pretty much agree with everyone.
I honestly don’t think this movie had a single redeeming quality.
All David Chen’s podcasts/art is sweet. Don’t ever stop! Also this was a top 3 limerick and the best DevindRant. ❤
Devindra is just amazing and I love this episode. I would agree with Dave on this one. I'm not invested in any other parts of this IP
Devindra went hard in the paint. Respect ✊
Go watch (and learn the fun history of**) the 1980 film "Battle Beyond the Stars". I'm pretty sure THAT'S the actual story Zack Snyder heavily borrowed from/reimagined.

I yelled "Lazuriiiiiiiiiiii!!!" at a couple of points in this movie.
This is my all time Favorite Podcast.. and number 2 on the list aint even close. Is the 4 hour cut going to be a “main” review is the big question??
I couldnt believe they demanded 12,000 bushels of wheat. The dreadnought has a flower mill? To turn the wheat into bread and pasta? What a weird choice
I’m actual more curious to watch this now after this 😂 It sounds like a movie by AI lolll… I’m definitely not a Zack Snyder fan I only liked 300… the rest were okay or just super annoying.
Rebel Moon-A dumpster fire😂
What this movie NEEDS -
Gunnar has to show more him attracted to Kora.
Jimmy needs to be shown to be a protector of Veldt as well as Private Aris . Otherwise you bring Aris.
Sam I’m guessing could he Issa do more of her.
Tarak- should be readin he would be expected to ride the griffin . He’s speaking another language. Should be native to his planet.
Nemesis- sone kind of meeting before elevator as well as a reason nobody just shot the spider lady in the head.
Anything with Titus. If Titus barely gets anymore I think that’s ok. But the other things I see as a necessity.
Love this podcast. Love the guys. Good people. Been listening from the UK for over 10 years.
I'm a general lover of sci-fi games and movies, and they don't have to be great or even good for me to enjoy.
But when I tell you that it was mind melting chore to watch this thing, I'm not kidding. I had fallen asleep in the middle of the movie and took me about another couple of days to muster the drive to watch the rest. It was so bad.
He borrowed not only from SW; but, he also borrowed from Seven Samurai, Firefly, Battle Beyond the Stars; and The Magificent Seven.

Isn't the director's cut only suppose to be 3 hours?
It's the R rated cut.
A good point: at least the love interest is age appropriate. Sophia Boutella is 41 and Michel Huisman is 42. (Corey Stoll is only 47.)
They were in love?
I’m a huge Snyder fan and I was bummed out. Fair critiques here . I felt the same about the beginning . I was IN.
I also liked the ending as well. But everything in between it didn’t let you care about the characters .
Who would admit to being a Snyder fan at this point? He's made one good movie.
@@StratumPress subjective. I don’t understand why people are bothered at what other people like.
It is telling that even the two people who initially went "well, I didn't hate it", end up becoming livelier when going over how much they didn't like specific parts in the spoiler section. 😄
The creator looks amazing. This just looked like green screen warehouse.
Me pausing the review to listen to/sing along with Alien Ant Farm’s “the movies”
I fell asleep watching this review. Must be all that slo-mo. (I passed a good night, thank you very much.) I think I spotted some Dutch angles, one mystery box, a whole lot of J J’s lens flare.
You have to watch this in one go so your brain doesnt have time to process what is going on
loved the limerick.

Your description can be applied to literally any of his films 😂 and I bet he probably thinks of himself as an auteur…
Dude goes on and on about the visuals but hardly any mention of story, character development. So basically Michael Bay movie brain.
I thought the 4 hr justic league was an "ehhhpic" mess, over the top.
I was fully engaged until the resident cornball called 300 a “deeply racist” movie.
did I miss the best of 2023?
Has Devindra ever disliked anything this much?
A copy of a copy is a pastiche

26:20; 😂
Also STAR WARS itself is a copy of a copy (MAGNIFICENT SEVEN) of a copy (SEVEN SAMURAI) of a copy (SEVEN AGAINST THEBES).
Seven samurai has little to do thematically with 7 x Thebes
...Seven Samurai and SAT have absolutely nothing in common except the word seven in the title.
I liked the casting. I think the director’s cut could make a full movie.

Let people like what they like. . .🤷♂️
This movie is pure garbage
i really cant wait the redlettermdia talking about this movie... because we all know zack snyder is a hack
4 hrs of this garbage
Starwars has had decades to build its story and lore…Zach made one for now. Give it chance! You can’t build a story out of 1 movie.
I can only assume this is a masterful deployment of irony, and I salute you for it.
The first Star Wars was a culture-changing film; Rebel Moon is a fart in the wind. There won't be anything beyond this next part. There's nothing there.

Sorry, but ALL STAR WARS is DUMB STAR WARS.
Me sa thinks you right
I had a fantastic time in high school watching this in ‘77 because the packed movie theater audience was electrified. All these many years later, meh…
Accurate.
