Kora is not a Mary Sue, she literally (failed to) kill a child. The film writes her with so little self-awareness that she presented no character whatsoever; but she's pretty much just a shitty imperial who was betrayed and now parades her sins around as if she's the victim.

The fact that Zack honestly thinks that he can make a 6 film franchise out of this is laughable. I'm honestly shocked the sequel managed to get greenlit.
wait... if snyder plans to make 6 movies then will he make a snyder cut for all of them? So the fact that he never had creative freedom ends up being a big lie because he had more opportunities than any director seen. 
First, no SOS was sent, and unless the MotherWorld KNEW exactly what happened and where it happened, it wouldn't know where to check where their missing ship was. That being said, I don't think the farmers can really hide a massive dreadnought wreck lying in their fields.
Speaking of spoiled fields, exactly where are they going to harvest any food now? I'm guessing that wreck is gonna deny a rather large portion of their fields for next harvest?
Belisaris also knew Nobel had found Arthelais, and knew his general search area since he's the one that dispactched Nobel out ther in the first place. Even if the dont have some kind of lojack on their spaceships (it'd be dumb if they didn't but that hasn't stopped zack) they could probably retrace their steps easily enough. @@sigmacademy

I cannot wait for the mega-director's cuts that will "explain everything properly" which is "in a completely different universe, as they are a completely different version". Anyone admitting they put out a sub-standard version on purpose deserves a chance to fail harder. Only by knowing the Lord of Edge will the cult of Snyder truly know it is over. If they create a cult around JJ we are all doomed.

Oh don't like Sucker Punch watch the DC, oh don't like Watch Men watch DC, don't like BVS watch my DC, oh don't like my JLZS cut then watch my extended DC with things that won't matter since I'm out of the DCEU.

In the 1936 Flash Gordan TV serial with Buster Crabbe, they have a coal powered floating city. It was kind of silly back then when coal powered ships and stuff was still in living memory, we have coal power plants today but we don't have people shovel the coal into them. But a coal powered spaceship? What were you thinking, Zack? Were you thinking?
There was an old Next Generation Star Trek story. In the future the Enterprise didn’t have an engine. The ship moved around because an alien creature lived in the area where the warp core used to be. It was like a giant hermit crab. The crew figured out a way to get it to move the entire ship where they needed it to go. I know weird.

Ahem, this movie is awesome. Movies don't have enough grain representation! The fact that it focuses on grain, it's harvesting and milling is a testament to Zack Snyder!😂
Grain was the only character that had a full story arc: a back story then planting to growing to harvesting to processing. So clearly Snyder CAN do character arcs.
@@Rotom0479 Ummmmmmm actually, I just left a board meeting at Netflix. Analytics overwhelmingly prove that the films are most consistently watched (and rewatched) by Middle American states with high rates of grain farming, and the slow-motion shots of the grain are the most watched bits of both films. Creative control has been renegotiated with Zack Snyder, and it's been decided: this is Zack Snyder's Grainverse, and the grain will take a bigger and bigger role as the films progress. There may or may not be a huge twist at the climax of the fifth film, in which the grain turns on both the Motherworld and the current roster of heroes, but you didn't hear it from me. What am I saying, I shouldn't be posting any of this. You're welcome (to the Grainverse).
One of the more interesting little scifi short stories I ever read centered around the idea that the secret to FTL travel was actually very simple and our civilization simply missed it. So 'first contact' for us was a bunch of steampunk soldiers with muskets coming out of a bronze spaceship, announcing the conquest of earth, and promptly getting blown to hell by the National Guard. Humanity rapidly expanded its empire after that. Rebel Moon has far less thought put into it than this 15 page story I read twenty years ago.
Sounds like a story called "The Road Not Taken" by Harry Turtledove. It's a classic, the image of a bunch of aliens filing out of a spaceship and attacking with matchlock muskets.... Great example of how technological progress isn't always going to be linear, just ask the people who came after the Romans.
Steam machines to harvest grain existed since the end of the XIX century, still they Need to do It by hand... But with a Flying cart. But i'm sure the snyder's snyder cut with his 3 days of runtime Will fix this.

@@Shlogger They’re good cos Zach didn’t write them, only directed them. He’s really good at making established works shiny. His problem is he thinks that means he can write, too.
What happened is he's writing his own stuff now. Both of those are based on graphic novels written by other people. So the two "best" things he ever did are the two he didn't write haha.
I didn't like watchman. Even dawn of the dead was alright. 300 always a good time. Man of steel was the longest episode of dragonball z. Batman v Superman was stupid. Didn't bother with the synder cut. He's always been a one trick poney
Just the fact they did a science fiction story where the evil empire wants "grain" is pretty hilarious. Like they could have just made them miners or something where they extract unobtainium or burbaru for sci fi travel, heck even call it "spice" and rip off Dune, and it would have at least been believable. They literally just made a western set in space, with the same stuff a western would be about. It is actually kind of funny.
I mean, if you REALLY want to question something about the film, how about this? Villagers pile flour all around their buildings so that they can't be targeted from orbit, but then has to face a hostile ground force that LITERALLY wants to level the village (based on the firepower they are bringing to the fight), blowing one of the biggest buildings to kingdom come (and destroying a large amount of flour in the process). Also, the ground troops were returning fire, which I'm going to assume ALSO hit various flour bags. Also, why did those special unit of soldiers go into the one building to engage the villlagers, when their objective (the flour was stacked all around the EXTERIOR of the building)? Wouldn't it just have made more sense to take the flour scattered around the building and highlight it out of there?
Grain would make sense, if its several trillion tons a year from a massive, mechanized farming world, feeding their millions of troops and crew of their ships. And this world is thinking about rebelling so a powreful Admiral is sent to crush it. But this village can make a couple tons a year maximum? Since they do it all by hand, wtf.
The only precedent I can think of for a fleet having to go home after losing an admiral is how in 1241 the Mongols pulled back from their invasion of Europe because the great Khan died and the princes needed to be present for the election of the next Khan. However, the Mongols were not an organized empire ruling over many worlds across the stars.
Star Trek v is under rated. Yeah it sux but u get some friends over with proper party favors it's a fun time to laugh at it. Also iv read William shatners memoirs and he got screwed on the budget for the movie
The fight scene with the orchestra is a complete K-Mart bastardization of the opera scene in The Fifth Element. They thought the concept was cool without bothering to think about WHY it works in Fifth Element.
The coal powered spaceships could have been neat if they had the balls to go full retrofuturerism / steampunk, but from what I saw they are using modern sci-fi weapons and rocket launchers, so yeah…
I once heard that the most important and underrated skill that a filmmaker can have is the ability to pitch movies to studio executives. Adam Sandler is said to be excellent at this, which is a big reason why he’s been able to make so many movies despite the fact that they don’t usually do that well. Perhaps Zack Snyder is amazing at pitching movies and ideas to executives…
I commented before on your opinion with part one, disagreeing on the Zach Snyder slow motion shots. NOW, i got the sense Snyder saw your reviews and doubled down on the slow motion for part two. Lost it laughing at the wheat shots in slow motion.
Hahaha 😂 that is fantastic. I was laughing through the shots, I did skip the random singing part when the male character just stood there and everyone was silent for 5 mins.
@Rotom0479 Forgive me, person on the internet, for I apparently cannot see what it is that you see. Please explain how this movie is "a triumph for humanity."
Where is Mystery Science Theater 3000 when we need them? This sounds like comedy gold! Sounds like Snyder is becoming the Ed Wood of the 21st century, but Ed Wood if he had a multimillion dollar budget.
My friend is a Zach Snyder fanboy and he’s already rolling out the usual snyder fanboy defense for this film, telling me that the directors cut will be good and is waiting for it to come out. He says it’s Netflix fault for restricting the movie’s runtime and thinks that they should just let Snyder make it as long as he wants to. He also claims toxic haters are review bombing the movie.
Honestly Spaceballs is more original than both parts of Rebel Moon is which is funny since the former was a parody of Star Wars and the latter feels more like a ripoff.
Rather than going for the wheat, they should have been Mining for some sort of special fuel for their coal powered spaceships.That would make way more sense if you could only get that special fuel from that planet.
IF they went after a sole fuel source, that would have made for ONE HELL of a strategic target for the Resistance, never mind the fact that they would have had FULL LEGIONS of ground troops stationed at such an important key asset in their space military industry.
Its like Snyder learned the US Navy carriers are steam driven and thought he could transfer that over into space travel and people would just accept it.
Someone asked Zack Snyder: Who's your favorite comicbook writer? "Frank Miller" Where did you learn how to write your characters in your movies? "Frank Miller" 😂😂🤣🤣
It's funny because I can explain how a warp engine assembly goes together in a Starfleet starship and what all the major parts do. These are story telling ASSETS!
I mean, Star Trek Voyager introduced "space garbage dumping" as one of its weekly moral dilemmas in one of the later seasons' episodes. And yes, it's illogical why you wouldn't just send something like that into a sun (when you've got sun-sized furnace to work with, and an easy way to destroy any evidence of "dumping").
@@sigmacademy I think it was final season of TNG where they discovered the warp lanes were wearing out from overuse so needed 'speed' limits or something
I like disparu saying he likes some good shots by Snyder. It’s the thing he’s actually a good director as long as he’s got someone to reel him in. Horrible writer though.
Why aren’t these farmers in the far future using combine harvesters? Why does the galactic space empire with big need grain from these farmers in the first place? If you can travel through space you can grow your own food.
My speculation is that they know the farmers are largely unarmed and not a match for them. The problem is, the director has ALREADY shown you just how big the MotherWorld's army was in that celebration scene in the first movie, so it seems unlikely that such a small village could really provide them with any significant number of resources.
He had his own lenses made for the films- he used the front end of an anamorphic and a leica spherical lens as a “taking lens” behind it allowing him to get a super shallow depth of field while still being relatively sharp. He’s a nutty guy
Their conversation about slow motion made me recall the south park episode "this is lesbos".... When miss garrison had to heroically make coffee in slow motion
in army of the dead a Hummer goes offroad and gets disabled because of that... i turned off army of the dead rite then. Its ok to have portions of your movie that people have to suspend disbelief but sometimes zack goes too far.
I kind of like the way it looks too. All the pictures show the girl with the angry cut hair and the barely hanging-on cape with the large moon backdrop. But from that picture, I'm surprised the planet is agrarian. I would have guessed that it was urban, like the last of what remains of a once-great civilization. (Maybe something akin to a Tasha Yar backstory in Star Trek: The Next Generation.) I like the aesthetics, but it confuses me. Maybe they explain it in the movie?
After he ruined Doomsday made him get beaten by bunch of rockets i already lost hope for this director he doesn't have enough good skills to direct his movies
I'm usually defending Zack Snyder (I still think Man of Steel, BvS and his cut of Justice League are solid movies), but his last couple of movies were really undercooked mess. He's a great visual director (he made a silent short movie couple of years ago and it was one of his best works in the last 10 years), but as a screenwriter he's stuck between being juvenile, edgy and pretentious. Sometimes having too much creative freedom isn't a good thing and Snyder is a good example of that.

The world building was so bad all around that it felt like it was written by some twelve year old edgelord in a creative writing class. The characters have practically no dialogue or story arcs to explore and I had zero attachments to them. You guys are also spot on about the tech making no sense either. I loved the battlecruiser using thermal imaging to look at the villagers in the houses but not seeing the people in shallow ambush tunnels on the suspiciously open field nearby. The Senate assassination scene was terrible too in too many ways to mention. I wouldn't compare these films to Chick-fil-A, they seem even more bland, processed and uninspired to me. Rebel Moon is the pink slime filled Chicken McNuggets of cinema.

Would lose on the first slo-mo shot 😂
Zack Snyder is a like ordering Michael Bay off Wish.
Just the fact they did a science fiction story where the evil empire wants "grain" is pretty hilarious. Like they could have just made them miners or something where they extract unobtainium or burbaru for sci fi travel, heck even call it "spice" and rip off Dune, and it would have at least been believable. They literally just made a western set in space, with the same stuff a western would be about. It is actually kind of funny.
Exactly. That's because Zack Snyder is a genius, he doesn't need some MacGuffin substance to make his films good.
I mean, if you REALLY want to question something about the film, how about this?
Villagers pile flour all around their buildings so that they can't be targeted from orbit, but then has to face a hostile ground force that LITERALLY wants to level the village (based on the firepower they are bringing to the fight), blowing one of the biggest buildings to kingdom come (and destroying a large amount of flour in the process). Also, the ground troops were returning fire, which I'm going to assume ALSO hit various flour bags.
Also, why did those special unit of soldiers go into the one building to engage the villlagers, when their objective (the flour was stacked all around the EXTERIOR of the building)? Wouldn't it just have made more sense to take the flour scattered around the building and highlight it out of there?
Grain would make sense, if its several trillion tons a year from a massive, mechanized farming world, feeding their millions of troops and crew of their ships. And this world is thinking about rebelling so a powreful Admiral is sent to crush it. But this village can make a couple tons a year maximum? Since they do it all by hand, wtf.
@@nicholastuttle2445 It makes sense of you really think about it. And when you do, you'll realize it's brilliance.
@@Rotom0479No it doesn’t.
It needs 20x more slow motion shots to be good
The only precedent I can think of for a fleet having to go home after losing an admiral is how in 1241 the Mongols pulled back from their invasion of Europe because the great Khan died and the princes needed to be present for the election of the next Khan. However, the Mongols were not an organized empire ruling over many worlds across the stars.
ChatGDP? Write me a Star Wars movie that’s not Star Wars.
Zack Snyder did, and it put all of Star Wars to shame.
The warm liquid goo phase always reminds me of Austin Powers now. I never take it seriously as a trope anymore.
To paraphrase Star Trek V: "What does a starship need with a god?"
Star Trek v is under rated. Yeah it sux but u get some friends over with proper party favors it's a fun time to laugh at it. Also iv read William shatners memoirs and he got screwed on the budget for the movie
What wouldn't it need with a God? You just don't know.
Gods are imminently useful whenever dealing with ignorant locals is necessary. If you doubt, just ask the Catholic Church.
You have to achieve the machine spirit.
As a wheat enthusiast, I was pretty pleased with this movie
well you put the coal core into a black hole, and you siphon out the black photons
I’m an old Zach Snyder fan and to be honest I just recently went back and rewatched all of his good movies and I’m like… wtf happened yo? 😂
The fight scene with the orchestra is a complete K-Mart bastardization of the opera scene in The Fifth Element. They thought the concept was cool without bothering to think about WHY it works in Fifth Element.
Drinker putting on a made for TV Scottish accent to mimic Scotty is the Drinkception I didn't know I needed.
The coal powered spaceships could have been neat if they had the balls to go full retrofuturerism / steampunk, but from what I saw they are using modern sci-fi weapons and rocket launchers, so yeah…
Alien Romulus: I got you covered!
Make the dreadnought an _actual_ dreadnought, floating in space
I once heard that the most important and underrated skill that a filmmaker can have is the ability to pitch movies to studio executives. Adam Sandler is said to be excellent at this, which is a big reason why he’s been able to make so many movies despite the fact that they don’t usually do that well. Perhaps Zack Snyder is amazing at pitching movies and ideas to executives…
That's because he's a true visionary. 😎
Thank you, Mr. Drinker for subjecting yourself to these atrocities so we don't have to.
This series will forever be known as Pain and Grain
Grain
Pain and Grain
The Musicians were amazing. They played her out and everything. I was truly entertained by them and lmao.
They perfectly matched the music to the action THEY COULDN'T SEE due to the BAGS over their head!
@@DarkTider Literally; A Spectacularly Stupid Scene.
Djimon Hiunsou is great in everything and adds quality to everything I’ve seen him in. It takes real skill to make him look bad in a really bad movie.
And Anthony Hopkins just collected his check and called it a day. What a shame.
Nora Palpatine reminds me of Sir Lancelot the Brave from Monty Python the Holy Grail when he starts killing all the wedding guests in the castle.
"Idiom!"
Zack (straight to DVD) Snyder
I commented before on your opinion with part one, disagreeing on the Zach Snyder slow motion shots. NOW, i got the sense Snyder saw your reviews and doubled down on the slow motion for part two.
Lost it laughing at the wheat shots in slow motion.
I fast forwarded through all of the grain harvesting, it legitimately saved me ten minutes.
Hahaha 😂 that is fantastic. I was laughing through the shots, I did skip the random singing part when the male character just stood there and everyone was silent for 5 mins.
Why are they using medieval farming tools, in a era where they have interplanetary space travel ?
Don’t ask questions, just consume product then get excited for next product.
Because they're poor.

@@furiouskaiser9914 you may laugh, but absolutely EVERYBODY should see this film. It's a triumph for humanity.
@Rotom0479 Forgive me, person on the internet, for I apparently cannot see what it is that you see. Please explain how this movie is "a triumph for humanity."
This is my favorite lineup you guys.
Where is Mystery Science Theater 3000 when we need them? This sounds like comedy gold! Sounds like Snyder is becoming the Ed Wood of the 21st century, but Ed Wood if he had a multimillion dollar budget.
Snyder: Guys just wait for the Director’s Cut! It’ll be better, Trust me.
It'll be more than perfect. I can't wait for it.
My friend is a Zach Snyder fanboy and he’s already rolling out the usual snyder fanboy defense for this film, telling me that the directors cut will be good and is waiting for it to come out. He says it’s Netflix fault for restricting the movie’s runtime and thinks that they should just let Snyder make it as long as he wants to. He also claims toxic haters are review bombing the movie.
I can’t wait for the directors cut where we watch grain grow and coal get made under the pressure of his ego, for 7 days.
To be fair with Spaceballs it would be a comically oversized battery. And they would put it backwards on the first go.
Honestly Spaceballs is more original than both parts of Rebel Moon is which is funny since the former was a parody of Star Wars and the latter feels more like a ripoff.
There’s a reason these films were released on Netflix and not in theaters.
Exactly. Because the films were too good to be released in theaters. This film only deserves to be seen by the worthy.
Rather than going for the wheat, they should have been Mining for some sort of special fuel for their coal powered spaceships.That would make way more sense if you could only get that special fuel from that planet.
Sadly I've a feeling that even if Zack Snyder went with what you proposed he'll somehow mess it up.
IF they went after a sole fuel source, that would have made for ONE HELL of a strategic target for the Resistance, never mind the fact that they would have had FULL LEGIONS of ground troops stationed at such an important key asset in their space military industry.
Happy that Disparu is in the team!
A coal powered Enterprise would have the most buff Scotty in the multiverse.
Drink your muscle milk scotty we need warp 8.
Introducing Zack Snyder’s retitled masterpiece of shit: The Grain.
Not to be confused with a real masterpiece of sages: The Grey.
Its like Snyder learned the US Navy carriers are steam driven and thought he could transfer that over into space travel and people would just accept it.
Yeah, because nuclear reactions creating steam from water are exactly the same as burning fuel
Someone asked Zack Snyder: Who's your favorite comicbook writer? "Frank Miller"
Where did you learn how to write your characters in your movies? "Frank Miller" 😂😂🤣🤣
It's funny because I can explain how a warp engine assembly goes together in a Starfleet starship and what all the major parts do. These are story telling ASSETS!
The Army of the Dead is in my TOP WORST 5 MOVIES EVER.
Burning fuel also reminds me of TLJ when Rian Johnson introduced “burning fuel” to Star Wars. Brilliant.
I mean, Star Trek Voyager introduced "space garbage dumping" as one of its weekly moral dilemmas in one of the later seasons' episodes. And yes, it's illogical why you wouldn't just send something like that into a sun (when you've got sun-sized furnace to work with, and an easy way to destroy any evidence of "dumping").
There was a cut scene in Episode 3 involving a giant liquid fuel tank catching fire, but it was removed because it frankly just wasn't any good.
@@sigmacademy I think it was final season of TNG where they discovered the warp lanes were wearing out from overuse so needed 'speed' limits or something
Denial- Batman v Superman
Anger- Josstice League
Bargaining- Zack Snyder's Justice League
Depression- Army of the Dead
Acceptance- Rebel Moon
The two Sherlock Holmes films with RDJ in them had slow mo, but it was in parts where it worked. Not shoved in everywhere.
I know what this movie needs, 2-3 more hours of grain footage
I bet rebel moon’s fight scenes aren’t as bad as the last jedi’s throne room fight 😂
they are worse
Is not as bad. It's worse😂😂😂😂
There both really bad.
You'd lose that bet
Rebel Moon's fight scenes make all of Star Wars' fight scenes look like a middle school production. You just don't know.
"No pain, no grain" was a great line.
Actually it's..."no grain, no pain"...since you need grain...to make french bread
Coal powered space ship is a Futurama joke, the episode where they are on the Space Titanic.
Coal-powered space ship isn't a new idea in cinema. It was already tried in Airplane! 2. :D
I like disparu saying he likes some good shots by Snyder. It’s the thing he’s actually a good director as long as he’s got someone to reel him in. Horrible writer though.
This. Very good cinematographer, hit or miss director, awful writer.
Steam powered: You'd also run out of water like crazy. Something needs to vent out the back to provide the force.
Disparu's double video about Rebel moon 2 was quite great... shredding it to the core.
Nah, it'll be fine 🍻
Why aren’t these farmers in the far future using combine harvesters?
Why does the galactic space empire with big need grain from these farmers in the first place? If you can travel through space you can grow your own food.
My speculation is that they know the farmers are largely unarmed and not a match for them. The problem is, the director has ALREADY shown you just how big the MotherWorld's army was in that celebration scene in the first movie, so it seems unlikely that such a small village could really provide them with any significant number of resources.
He had his own lenses made for the films- he used the front end of an anamorphic and a leica spherical lens as a “taking lens” behind it allowing him to get a super shallow depth of field while still being relatively sharp. He’s a nutty guy
Their conversation about slow motion made me recall the south park episode "this is lesbos".... When miss garrison had to heroically make coffee in slow motion
He (Zack) went out into space found boredom and brought it back to us out of spite.😂😂😂 Kevin out on his own is all they crap sinse the end of phase 3.
in army of the dead a Hummer goes offroad and gets disabled because of that... i turned off army of the dead rite then. Its ok to have portions of your movie that people have to suspend disbelief but sometimes zack goes too far.
Zack wanted a scene where a guy gets kicked into the furnace so he made up coal powered spaceship.
As a celiac, this film was a crime against my humanity! 😅
I really wanted to watch this. It looked so cool. Then I saw the director and I thought I'd save what brain cells I have left.
I kind of like the way it looks too. All the pictures show the girl with the angry cut hair and the barely hanging-on cape with the large moon backdrop. But from that picture, I'm surprised the planet is agrarian. I would have guessed that it was urban, like the last of what remains of a once-great civilization. (Maybe something akin to a Tasha Yar backstory in Star Trek: The Next Generation.) I like the aesthetics, but it confuses me. Maybe they explain it in the movie?
After he ruined Doomsday made him get beaten by bunch of rockets i already lost hope for this director he doesn't have enough good skills to direct his movies
he's just not anywhere near as talented, creative or intelligent as he thinks he is.
I NEED. Critical Drinker to do more Scottie impressions, that was great.
These ships will really pay the toll for burning all this coal.
I'm usually defending Zack Snyder (I still think Man of Steel, BvS and his cut of Justice League are solid movies), but his last couple of movies were really undercooked mess. He's a great visual director (he made a silent short movie couple of years ago and it was one of his best works in the last 10 years), but as a screenwriter he's stuck between being juvenile, edgy and pretentious. Sometimes having too much creative freedom isn't a good thing and Snyder is a good example of that.
George Lucas is another one. Most of us really need people who can check our worst impulses
Even then I've heard the cinematographer for a lot of his movies wasn't even him

Thanks Zak for Making Grain Great Again
Yeah it's just as bad as Fallout
Get this guy treatment for the obvious head injury.
@@greedowins2917 Get this jelly-mold out of here.
The world building was so bad all around that it felt like it was written by some twelve year old edgelord in a creative writing class. The characters have practically no dialogue or story arcs to explore and I had zero attachments to them.
You guys are also spot on about the tech making no sense either. I loved the battlecruiser using thermal imaging to look at the villagers in the houses but not seeing the people in shallow ambush tunnels on the suspiciously open field nearby. The Senate assassination scene was terrible too in too many ways to mention.
I wouldn't compare these films to Chick-fil-A, they seem even more bland, processed and uninspired to me. Rebel Moon is the pink slime filled Chicken McNuggets of cinema.
Coal-powered starships eh. How fast are *those* paddlewheels turning?
The coal may be to feed the cosmic space-god, who in turn propels the ship.
Scotty is on a peleton powering the Enterprise.
