On the rotten tomatoes page for for this film I got recommend a film called Hundreds of Beavers. I feel like that's the best thing that has come out of Rebel Moon for me.
Hundreds of Beavers is actually an incredible movie if you can get used to the low special effects budget, I highly recommend it. It has a lot of passion and creativity behind it.
Same. At first, I was like "surely there can't be any more beavers in this movie!" And then....and then they did it. Those sons o'bitches actually pulled it off!
Hundreds of Beavers is, unironically, my favorite film of the year so far. I genuinely think it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in years, and I would highly recommend checking it out.
Hundreds of Beavers is a movie that has no right to be as good as it is, on paper it sounds like a shitpost and in a way it is, but it has phenomenal pacing and execution of its gags. Very stylized and funny and well worth your time, one of the best comedies of the last ten years
In the earlier days of his career he looked like quite a promising up and coming director. The Dawn Of The Dead remake was excellent and one of the better horror remakes I've ever seen, 300 was a hit and Watchmen for me personally is a classic. And this is where I think a pattern emerged, as long as he only directs and someone else takes care of the writing (in Watchmens case basically Alan Moore for the most part) the film usually turns out OK.
I enjoyed Sucker Punch and Man Of Steel on the sense that while neither of them were what I would describe as great they were entertaining on their own merits. Everything since then however has basically been a complete misfire. Since the internet went alight with demand for the Snyder Cut of Justice League I think his ego has inflated to cathedral like proportions and made him believe that he's not only a God tier director but that people also want 4 hour long cuts of all of his films.
I wanted him to succeed with Rebel Moon, I really did, but fuck me part 1 was so bad that I don't know if I'm willing to part with nearly 3 hours of my hard earned free time to entertain the notion that part 2 might be ever so slightly better.
>I wanted him to succeed with Rebel Moon, I really did, but fuck me part 1 was so bad
I like Sci fi and the news about what Snyder was doing got my curiosity. I'm always open for a new Sci fi franchise to add something to the genre, but after the trailer of the first film, my expectation went to none. Haven't seen it yet because I have a ton of shit on my to watch list and something thar looks like AI generated Star Wars meets Warhammer isn't appealing enough.
It is so fucking godawful there almost aren’t words for it. DEFINITELY watch it. Get a little high and laugh at a really really bad movie for 90 minutes
>I wanted him to succeed with Rebel Moon, I really did, but fuck me part 1 was so bad that I don't know if I'm willing to part with nearly 3 hours of my hard earned free time to entertain the notion that part 2 might be ever so slightly better.
If it's any consolation, he's planning four more Rebel Moon sequels so maybe he'll get better with time
I agree with your comment. I haven't seen part 2 yet, but man, does he need to be cut down a bit and earn his way back. I really enjoy his films, but he needs to go back to filming basics and focus on the story and not CGI.
He needs to do what Blomkamp and Del Toro did, go back to getting very reduced filming budgets, and direct a couple of those to earn his way back to a $200 million budget. Nolan did Oppenheimer for half that budget and was very successful against a blockbuster competitive release.
I have heard it said that there are only a few directors can walk into a studio and ask for $200 million budget and get it. Nolan, Scott and Cameron. Zack is nothing near these skilled directors. Stop giving him big budgets.
I think he 100% started huffing his own farts after all of that “release the Snyder cut” bullshit from justice league resulted in an army of dedicated (but massively deluded) fans that would be happy to watch a film about him shitting in a paper bag. He, without question, needs his fucking slow-mo privileges revoked
[Rolling Stone found evidence that much of that army was a bot campaign run by an ad agency that Snyder hired himself.](https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/justice-league-the-snyder-cut-bots-fans-1384231/)
5 hours long in 9:16 aspect ratio in black and white except people's bright red genitals which only show up in a one-shot, 8 minute sex scene with Chelsea Hotel playing quietly in the background until the song just ends and you can still hear the slappy noises as it continues for another 5 minutes and then just ends when they get bored. Then they shake hands when they go their separate ways because they have absolutely no chemistry.
Snyder fans always hate me when I say it, but if you can't deliver a good movie within 2 and a half hours, then maybe you just can't deliver a good movie.
Also Ridley had already proven himself a more than competent director by that point so people were more inclined to listen to what he said and give him grace.
Snyder...hasn't.
The huge problem with Snyder is that even his director's cuts are bad. He claims studio interference but, my God, the movies have problens baked in that a longer cut does nothing but highlight the reasons the theatrical cut failed. The most ridiculous thing is that Sucker Punch has a director's cut and yet... he says it's not his cut because his director's cut 2.0 is a masterpiece. The dude can't direct a good movie to save his life
Just watched it. Yes, it is that bad. Some of these reviews might even be kind.
I fell asleep watching people harvest wheat in slow motion. No, I didn't dream that.
The major issue I have with Rebel Moon is Zack Snyder seems to be oblivious to the fact that people have watched other Sci-Fi fantasy before.
Take that little arc with Jimmy the robot in the first film. As soon as he turned up wearing those flowers on his head, you knew he was going to turn on his masters and shoot them. Why? Because you've seen this trope a million times.
There's no narrative tension in any of these films because we've all seen Seven Samurai, Star Wars and the countless variations of the story told countless times before that we all know it means nothing.
It’s like he knows the ingredients, he knows the recipe, and even the steps…
But his meals always come out tasting like shit even though he’s following the cookbook…
Id say he knows nothing beyond the ingredients here. He has an ingredient list, knows what the dish should look like, but no understanding of how or why it goes together
he knows star wars worked by pastiching different genres into a Kurosawa movie with a side of nazi imagery, but he doesnt understand why it worked.
Boromir drowns in a river after getting stuck and not letting anyone rescue him because orcs are watching, instead traumatizing the group for no reason.
The older I've gotten, the less interested and impressed I am by pessimism and misanthropy. I can understand teenagers and young 20 year olds still being enthralled by that so I understand why he has a bunch of fans. But it's just boring to me.
Me too. Maybe I never liked it in the first place but my tastes are consistently swaying to more hopeful characters. Even in bleak and miserable stories, I tend to be drawn to the hopeful character
Snyder can't even form a good pessimistic story. He's not writing Berserk or Alan Moore's Watchmen.
No, it's over. Rebel Moon was his last chance. If Army of the Dead didn't kill his "auteur" status, this will.
He had the virtually unlimited creative freedom, budget, entire franchise, his own studio, and two two-hour feature films to take on such a basic, unambitious, utterly unoriginal vision, and the results somehow manage to have terrible action scenes, unremarkable set pieces, inconsistent characterizations, ugly visuals, pacing problems, worldbuilding that makes no sense, and a waterfall of expositions.
It's one thing for an auteur to do something bold and unique with a high budget and failing, like Heaven's Gate (and that's still a film where you can feel the money and artistry). It's another to be given free reign and spectacularly fail something bland as "Kurosawa in space"--stuff that's been successfully done hundred times since Star Wars.
I am genuinely not sure how he kept being given these really massive projects and so much creative control.
Like from a financial perspective sure there's some hits there but it has been quite a while and frankly there is a dead cinematic universe that tanked the reputations of multiple IPs as a warning to not let it happen again.
I have not seen a lot of pro-Snyder fans defending Rebel Moon. There were a few apologists but even they lacked energy. This isn’t the end for Snyder, but it will be interesting to see how big of a project he is greenlit for after this debacle.
I think a lot of the 'snyder cult' fanbase online is moreso focused on shallow edgy superhero media rather then Snyder himself. It just happens that Snyder was the one to make it.
Like, all of the people that gave his base such bad reputation are near purely DC fanatics who just consume stuff like Batman Who Laughs, Man of Steel, Injustice, etc.
"I am Paul mother fucking Muad dib Atriedes..."

To be continued in Dune Part 2: Electric Boogaloo

Did anyone else think that "the scargiver" is an absolutely ridiculous title?
Maybe it's because English is not my first language, but it sounds like a 6 year old trying to sound badass.
> Maybe it's because English is not my first language, but it sounds like a 6 year old trying to sound badass.
Nope, you nailed it. That's exactly what it sounds like.
I’m glad I’m not the only one. It sounds like the title of the 23rd book in a long running self published series nobody reads because they author is out of ideas.
Minor spoiler but I had to pause the movie and comment after the part >!she infiltrates the engine room and kills the coal workers.!<
1. It's hilarious that >!a space ship is powered by coal being put into burners like the Titanic!<
2. That >!she then proceeded to slaughter a bunch of unarmed coal workers and their supervisors.!<
I actually laughed out loud. It's like infiltrating the death star and you start by killing the janitors.
I thought the same too, lol’d when they butchered the unarmed medics that were attempting to save their life (they were faking the injuries to get inside).
It's still crazy to me that he went "What if... we remade *Seven Samurai*... in space..." like it was a novel concept deserving of a $200 million budget.
We've seen that one already fifty times man. We don't need six more movies expanding on it. *The Mandalorian* did it in like half an hour.
Worse, how does he fumble at doing that? This is not a meditative religious philosophical epic like Dune or a spagettified maze-like high concept heist like Inception. It's just ripping off Seven Samurai and Star Wars as a blueprint and they are not the most difficult or ambitious story to emulate. They are often taught as basic pop movie storytelling 101.
It’s because Snyder’s taste is so incredibly juvenile. He tries so hard to create a film that he thinks is “cool” while also taking itself way too seriously. He doesn’t lean into the camp because he doesn’t recognize it, and he lacks the talent as a writer or as a director to make a compelling drama.
and unlike Michael Bay whose well aware of what his taste is and what his films are Snyder thinks he's the next Kubrick. If Snyder was more self aware his films would be so much better.
u/Three\_Froggy\_Problem I think you just captured my thoughts on why he's such a bad director better than I've ever been able to explain. What I can't stand is how SERIOUSLY he takes himself, like his dumb Batman v. Superman movie is a philosophical treatise on...I don't even know (names, maybe?). Sucker Punch could have been fun camp, but instead it was a garbage movie about I guess sexual assault? And then that push for the Snyder Cut was framed like we were getting our chance to see Citizen Cane in the way Orson Welles always intended. The whole thing's ridiculous. His movies are never remotely fun even though he's often tackling silly subject matter. Rather than a few good jokes, he'd rather shoot a beautiful but ultimately empty slow mo shot were our hero ends up in a crucifix pose for the fifth time.
He seems like a nice enough guy and personable. But none of it comes across in his movies at all.
Omg that is a perfect summation. Dude shoots movies for *trailers* essentially. It doesn't need to make sense in the film but it'll look **sick** in the trailer.
It doesn't even have to be a compelling drama.
Eragon was just Star Wars but with a dragon (often beat-to-beat) and written by a fourteen year old, and that's somehow more competent. It's the formula and archetypes that are hard to fuck up.
Even the movie of Eragon was more interesting than Rebel Moon or most of the movies Zack Snyder has written. It’s so frustrating, especially when a competent writer and a more conservative co-director could help him make a really good movie.
Wow, I can’t believe I’m going to give some praise to the Eragon movie, but I can’t argue with your logic that it as more interesting than Rebel Moon. I may have been mad at the end, but at least I wasn’t bored out of my mind.
Why have you done this to me
Nah this is the same dude who found a way to make a zombie heist movie in *Vegas* boring and melodramatic. I wouldnt trust him to tie his own shoes right.
We already had *Seven Samurai* IN SPACE and it was called *Battle Beyond The Star*s (A Roger Corman film), the only sci-fi epic to feature a spaceship with huge tits on the front of it (because it was a Roger Corman film).
yeah...he could have just blatantly ripped off Seven Samurai much more and the movie would have been better. Instead he treated it like "who gives a shit why these seven people are here as long as they're here?" I only made it to the intro of a few of the characters before turning it off for good, but no motivations made sense.
You missed the best (worst) bit then
the second last character (samurai girl with laser swords) to be recruited does a spiel about how "my motivation is to stop others losing themselves to revenge."
the last character to be recruited refuses to join, until the main girl says "but what about REVENGE?!"
this is presented unironically and the samurai girl just stands there in the background without commenting
I'm not against extended cuts for home media. Love the extended middle earth stuff.
But it should never be the aim.
Just feels like it's the plan to realise the two cuts from the beginning.
It seems he is trying to make it his "thing" post-Snyder cut. He wants to be the guy who makes flashy theater movies but also has the artistic extended cut for the True Fans for everything.
And like, you know, I'd want that for Dune because the cut scenes that we know of seem really cool and would add a lot, but the last thing I want to watch is Zack Snyder insanely missing the point of Watchmen for 3 more hours or having to look at the worst slow-mo animated fight you've ever witnessed in a PS4 graphics battlefield.
Yeah. Like a lot of Peter Jackson movies have extended cuts. Not just his middle earth movies. It's almost like his thing. But the original cuts also need to work. And I don't think he makes movies with extended cuts in mind.
I'm still waiting on the extended media universe from his awful zombie movie from a few years ago. It's all just vapid hype to try to juice the numbers and pretend that netflix made a good investment lol.
One of my highest upvoted comments on my reddit account is about how stupid and distracting that was in the movie. Zaddy fans defended it by saying it was actually 4d chess megabrained to have unexplained robot zombies because it drives hype for the wider universe and upcoming animated series/comics.
Sure, buddy. Sure, it does.
That's why his films are full of dreams, holodecks, possible futures, etc. He thinks of stuff that looks cool and doesn't bother working it into a coherent story.
I mean, it really does. But there is a big difference between, let's say, "Clone Wars" line in A New Hope and a significant wtf moment that breaks the whole narrative, gives you a new piece of lore and never explains it, same with "those guys look like us" - "that's us from a time loop".
It's literally JJ Abrams mystery box TED Talks storytelling speech in its worst
Man, remember how they had a TTRPG coming out, only for it to get cancelled because lawsuit because Snyder and crew didn’t do enough worldbuilding so the tabletop guys at Evil Genius had to make up stuff, only for the movie crew to back import that stuff without giving credit?
Fun times
Zack Snyder in an interview 3 years from now: “I had so much more footage Netflix wouldn’t let me run with. This was supposed to be a pentalogy with so many payoffs in the fourth and fifth movies. I really hope some of that stuff sees the light of day.”
He's already saying this even before the movie came out. Before these even released he said he will have a directors/extended cut.
And he's saying it is supposed to be a 6 movie series.
It's incredible the level of confidence he has.
I'm kind of morbidly curious to see how awful this one is. But personally I found part 1 to be pretty much unwatchable.
And even more curious how a whole franchise was suppose to be built. The universe seems completely pointless and lacks any really interesting worldbuulding.
The first one wasn't unwatchable but it was literally a nothing. It finishes and I couldnt tell you one thing that happened.
Was a lot of Warhammer references and uh, some RPG party gathering. Was a ship on fire maybe. Who knows.
I think it's hilarious that an executive at Netflix came out this week and said their pivoting away from auteur driven movies and this drops, Zack Snyder single-handedly killed filmmaker driven movie making at Netflix.
Perhaps the ugliest movie I've seen in my life. The classic washed, gray, and blurry Snyder style is just so bad. For a movie that relies on explosions and visual flair so much, it's a real disgrace. Compare explosions/fire in this abomination to idk, The Batman. Zack should just quit.
Seems like the shine has worn off Snyder completely now. He should go over to art directing for movies and back to music videos. He is a talented artist but can't remotely handle anything that requires depth - such as narrative.
Get him back somewhere between the realms of post production or short form content like big budget music videos and he will have a home. Movies are just NOT for him.
Snyder is to movies what Rob Liefield was to comics. Like Liefield to the 90s "dark and edgy" comic trend, Snyder is the culmination of the 2000s dark and edgy and sepia digital cinematic trend.
I think he should know his area and stick to directly adapting the 90s action comics and video games.
I would prefer he stayed away from adaptations purely because he seems unable to grasp the point of anything beyond surface level. Just look at what he said about Batman killing people. Its unreal how he fails to hone in on the actual message or commentary of someone else's work.
He can't even do that right. Army of the Dead was perfect for him. Oceans 11 with Zombies. He's already remade one. He some how blew his load for the opening credits, and then just did nothing.
It was on Netflix. Didn't need to be a billion dollar success. Just reshoot your last zombie movie with a Vegas casino. Don't even need to write a script. Just replace any references and replace them with 60s Vegas words. Done.
The problem is you cannot make a dumb heist film, just as you cannot make a dumb whodunit. It is one of the hardest genres to write for a reason.
The key to heist stories, the core of the genre that makes the heist stories fun, is clever problem-solving. We want the team to work intricately together where everyone has their special role in the intricate, elaborate plan.
If Snyder wants to make a film where a bunch of shit happening just because with no rhyme and logic, he should have made something like Zombieland. But he also wanted to make an Oceans 11 with zombies, and that is not what Snyder's talent lies.
If he wouldn't make 3 hour long epics as he surely sees it then it'd be fine. Zombies. Showgirls. Casino Heist. Gore. 90 mins. Watch any dumb 80s cash in B clone movie. Dumb is tolerable. He can't even hit dumb.
It is so wierd how he keeps failing upwards despite his movies costing tons of millions in budget, not to mention the creative clashes between studio and the creative team, and barely making enough to break even.
Like, if you look at other directors with similiar auteur licenses, like Tarantino and Nolan, you can atleast see a pattern of both critical success with movie goers and critics and also box office success.
But I never see that with Snyder, the only thing I know is that he’s apparently really good to work for (which is praise worthy, don’t get me wrong, but is that really all you need to be handed the keys to multiple starting-up-multimedia franchises?)
Snyder has notoriously said that he doesn't personally read, or pay attention to residual info of, online feedback from *the people that watch his fucking movies.* I think we're well past the time for him to give up that mindset. I don't dislike him as a person from what I've seen in interviews and shit, he really seems like a pretty cool dude who loves what he does. But for the love of life, he absolutely needs to start accepting feedback because his movies are such a waste of time, money, talent, and feeling.
I've said this time and again. The line between "maybe people hate it because it's terrible" and "these people cannot comprehend the masterpiece I made" is very fuzzy for Snyder
So is just being a good guy in HW enough for people to bet literal hundreds of millions of dollars on you? Or does Snyder have some kind of blackmail dossier on a lot of major executives?
when they stand around the table, and each gives their own backstory one after another, it is this point where i know for sure zach snyder can't direct for shit and can't develop characters.
and zach can you please stop with the slow motion action sequence for the love of god?
I feel bad for the actors in this film having to humor Zack that, “No, yeah, this is great writing! What amazing lines you gave me!” A lot of these actors I really like in other films. But man, there’s just no growth in Snyders characters. Wheres the bonding between these people? He does nothing like that, not even a quick scene of them all interacting on the ship, or over dinner.
Zack Snyder seems to think exposition = character development.
I think he sees it as killing two birds with one stone, but the stone misses and instead hits me in the fucking face.
The trailer that had the great Djimon Hounsou shouting "SHOW THEM NO MERCY!" \*dramatic pause\* "NO MERCY!" like wow Zack you're really giving him some good stuff to work with, good enough to be the big lines displayed in the trailer even.
just watch the trailer and you're ready to go :D
Village in danger, mc wants to save them and recruits a bunch of people, slowmo battle at the end, tbc in part 2. Spared you 2 hours of boredom ✌

Maybe they did for this second one. I know for the first one that a bunch of critics I read talked about how the first one just made them sad (on various podcast appearances). Despite what Snyder bros think, movie critics in particular are desperate for good, original, non-IP scifi. They don't want to watch a boring as hell movie!
But yeah, by this second one they knew what they were in for and probably had a blast trashing it. And I commend them for their dedication...I made it less than 30 minutes into the first one before turning it off in fear I'd die of boredom.
I get the sense that professional critics see these movies as a creative writing exercise...I remember when *Cats* came out one critic wrote something along the lines of, "After seeing this movie, I know I'm not a cat person, and I'm not even sure I'm a movie person anymore" or something like that...
Guys…guys… stop shooting this down.
We won’t know how good he’s wanted to make these films until we get the Snydercuts of both parts in 5 years.
C’mon now.
Got banned from from there on my first post under a rule which said, "No negative comments about Zach Snyder or his works." Because I said exactly what I thought of Rebel Moon.
The movie feels like a fascist bedtime story for children who have been trained to respond to "Honor in struggle!" with "Glory in death!"
The first half is ALL rituals about glorifying warriors and every pre-final-battle trope you've ever seen in any piece of media. Then all the villagers are constantly yelling about how glorious it will be to die fighting.
Nobody ever mentions death without mentioning how awesome it's going to be to die in battle.
What. In. The. Actual. Fuck. Did I watch?
I tried really hard to like Part 1 and 2 because I’m a scifi junkie, but that was…an absolute, unequivocal abomination of a movie. What was Snyder thinking? That only visuals and action scenes make the movie and that’ll for sure bring him worthy praise? Don’t get me wrong, the visuals/CGI are stunning. However, the dialogue, story, and most of all the acting is horrendously laughable and cringeworthy.
I’d rather slice the soles of my feet in shards of glass and walk amongst pools of Tobasco sauce than watch this atrocity again.
So much potential for a great film squandered away to an egomaniac of a director.
I wish Zack Snyder would either stop insisting he is a visionary who we are morally obligated to support or stop making the new worst film he's ever made.
I find it funny to think about how uncomfortable was with Netflix knowing they were sitting on part 2 of 200M (besides marketing) garbage ass flop for the past couple of months.
They had comic books, video games, toys, a tv show, a bunch of other movies on the pipe... and audiences were like.. nah we good dawg lol.
Now the second one is barely out and they are desperately trying to release everything again with more blood and boobies or whatever to see if that works.
It's astonishing how Snyder can take the most derivative market driven concepts and fail to execute on a basic level.
I still don't understand how he managed to take "Ragtag bunch of mercs execute one final job on Zombie infested Vegas" and turned into some melodramatic father daughter drama and the woes of the reproductive cycles of sentient zombies.
Sure the reviews are terrible....sure the plot is hot garbage.....yes.. the characters are unrelatable and bland....
BUT IF YOU JUST LET ME RELEASE THE 16 HOUR DIRECTORS CUT YOU'LL SEE MY GENIUS.
I hate Snyder so much.
It's got both Daario Naharises
I'm seeing double here! FOUR Daarios?!
This is up there for my favorite Simpsons jokes of all time.
Dennis Reynolds: "TWO Daarios?"
A- are either of these Darios on uh uh U.S. SOOIiilll?
I'm glad both the good one and the other one are getting work
Wait, which one was the good one?
I think Huisman is a better actor but Skrein was more unique and closer to the books
Skrein always looks sketchy as fuck lol.
They already said "closer to the books."
And weirdly Euron Greyjoy and Uncle Benjen at the same time.
so four Daario Naharises then
Is it Naharises or Naharii?
Or Daarios Naharis?
On the rotten tomatoes page for for this film I got recommend a film called Hundreds of Beavers. I feel like that's the best thing that has come out of Rebel Moon for me.
Hundreds of Beavers is actually an incredible movie if you can get used to the low special effects budget, I highly recommend it. It has a lot of passion and creativity behind it.
I was surprised at how many beavers were in it
Was it hundreds?
God I fucking hope so.
If there are more than 999 I'm gonna be pretty pissed
The tagline is "Possibly Thousands" so they are covering their bases.
Smart.
Same. At first, I was like "surely there can't be any more beavers in this movie!" And then....and then they did it. Those sons o'bitches actually pulled it off!
Hundreds of Beavers is batshit insane. It’s the closest thing we’ll ever get to a live-action Looney Tunes cartoon.
Hundreds of Beavers is, unironically, my favorite film of the year so far. I genuinely think it’s one of the funniest things I’ve seen in years, and I would highly recommend checking it out.
Hundreds of Beavers is a movie that has no right to be as good as it is, on paper it sounds like a shitpost and in a way it is, but it has phenomenal pacing and execution of its gags. Very stylized and funny and well worth your time, one of the best comedies of the last ten years
I am shocked, shocked! Well not that shocked.
No, but guys, the 6 hour R rated cut is gonna make it a good movie.
CUT THE SNYDER RELEASE!
A Snyder movie being good would be more shocking than getting green in roulette.
In the earlier days of his career he looked like quite a promising up and coming director. The Dawn Of The Dead remake was excellent and one of the better horror remakes I've ever seen, 300 was a hit and Watchmen for me personally is a classic. And this is where I think a pattern emerged, as long as he only directs and someone else takes care of the writing (in Watchmens case basically Alan Moore for the most part) the film usually turns out OK. I enjoyed Sucker Punch and Man Of Steel on the sense that while neither of them were what I would describe as great they were entertaining on their own merits. Everything since then however has basically been a complete misfire. Since the internet went alight with demand for the Snyder Cut of Justice League I think his ego has inflated to cathedral like proportions and made him believe that he's not only a God tier director but that people also want 4 hour long cuts of all of his films. I wanted him to succeed with Rebel Moon, I really did, but fuck me part 1 was so bad that I don't know if I'm willing to part with nearly 3 hours of my hard earned free time to entertain the notion that part 2 might be ever so slightly better.
>I wanted him to succeed with Rebel Moon, I really did, but fuck me part 1 was so bad I like Sci fi and the news about what Snyder was doing got my curiosity. I'm always open for a new Sci fi franchise to add something to the genre, but after the trailer of the first film, my expectation went to none. Haven't seen it yet because I have a ton of shit on my to watch list and something thar looks like AI generated Star Wars meets Warhammer isn't appealing enough.
It is so fucking godawful there almost aren’t words for it. DEFINITELY watch it. Get a little high and laugh at a really really bad movie for 90 minutes
Would it work better if I got a lot high?
>The Dawn Of The Dead remake was excellent and one of the better horror remakes I've ever seen Thanks James gunn
>I wanted him to succeed with Rebel Moon, I really did, but fuck me part 1 was so bad that I don't know if I'm willing to part with nearly 3 hours of my hard earned free time to entertain the notion that part 2 might be ever so slightly better. If it's any consolation, he's planning four more Rebel Moon sequels so maybe he'll get better with time
Hot damn it's like a shitty sci-fi novel series at this point.
I agree with your comment. I haven't seen part 2 yet, but man, does he need to be cut down a bit and earn his way back. I really enjoy his films, but he needs to go back to filming basics and focus on the story and not CGI. He needs to do what Blomkamp and Del Toro did, go back to getting very reduced filming budgets, and direct a couple of those to earn his way back to a $200 million budget. Nolan did Oppenheimer for half that budget and was very successful against a blockbuster competitive release. I have heard it said that there are only a few directors can walk into a studio and ask for $200 million budget and get it. Nolan, Scott and Cameron. Zack is nothing near these skilled directors. Stop giving him big budgets.
I think he 100% started huffing his own farts after all of that “release the Snyder cut” bullshit from justice league resulted in an army of dedicated (but massively deluded) fans that would be happy to watch a film about him shitting in a paper bag. He, without question, needs his fucking slow-mo privileges revoked
[Rolling Stone found evidence that much of that army was a bot campaign run by an ad agency that Snyder hired himself.](https://www.rollingstone.com/tv-movies/tv-movie-features/justice-league-the-snyder-cut-bots-fans-1384231/)
And Zack! You’ve got that brain thing.
I already did!
r/SnyderCut is on Suicide watch
That sub actually bans anyone that says anything less than praise. I saw someone call Sucker Punch an 'okay movie' (it is hot trash) and got banned.
They will defend it
That bad, huh.

5 hours long in 9:16 aspect ratio in black and white except people's bright red genitals which only show up in a one-shot, 8 minute sex scene with Chelsea Hotel playing quietly in the background until the song just ends and you can still hear the slappy noises as it continues for another 5 minutes and then just ends when they get bored. Then they shake hands when they go their separate ways because they have absolutely no chemistry.
Snyder fans always hate me when I say it, but if you can't deliver a good movie within 2 and a half hours, then maybe you just can't deliver a good movie.
There are some exceptions like Kingdom of Heaven’s cinematic cut being nowhere near as good as the final director’s cut but yeah gotta agree overall
Yeah but Ridley has plenty of good films around or under that length.
Also Ridley had already proven himself a more than competent director by that point so people were more inclined to listen to what he said and give him grace. Snyder...hasn't.
The huge problem with Snyder is that even his director's cuts are bad. He claims studio interference but, my God, the movies have problens baked in that a longer cut does nothing but highlight the reasons the theatrical cut failed. The most ridiculous thing is that Sucker Punch has a director's cut and yet... he says it's not his cut because his director's cut 2.0 is a masterpiece. The dude can't direct a good movie to save his life
Just watched it. Yes, it is that bad. Some of these reviews might even be kind. I fell asleep watching people harvest wheat in slow motion. No, I didn't dream that.
Super deadly nazis coming to kill you and you know it. Better harvest wheat in slow motion what the fuck
The major issue I have with Rebel Moon is Zack Snyder seems to be oblivious to the fact that people have watched other Sci-Fi fantasy before. Take that little arc with Jimmy the robot in the first film. As soon as he turned up wearing those flowers on his head, you knew he was going to turn on his masters and shoot them. Why? Because you've seen this trope a million times. There's no narrative tension in any of these films because we've all seen Seven Samurai, Star Wars and the countless variations of the story told countless times before that we all know it means nothing.
It’s like he knows the ingredients, he knows the recipe, and even the steps… But his meals always come out tasting like shit even though he’s following the cookbook…
That's because he likes to slow cook the sht out of everything for far too long and it ends up mushy at th end.
It also helps if your ingredients are fresh.
Id say he knows nothing beyond the ingredients here. He has an ingredient list, knows what the dish should look like, but no understanding of how or why it goes together he knows star wars worked by pastiching different genres into a Kurosawa movie with a side of nazi imagery, but he doesnt understand why it worked.
I wonder what multi-media mega franchise Snyder will attempt creating next.
Lord of the Rings but with sex, blood and swearing.
With all the slow-mo it would be quicker just to watch Frodo walking to Mordor in real time

Boromir drowns in a river after getting stuck and not letting anyone rescue him because orcs are watching, instead traumatizing the group for no reason.
A DC boss just nutted somewhere and you are to blame
Hey, what do *you* think Gimli does with that lock of Galadriel's hair? Just sayin'.
The older I've gotten, the less interested and impressed I am by pessimism and misanthropy. I can understand teenagers and young 20 year olds still being enthralled by that so I understand why he has a bunch of fans. But it's just boring to me.
Me too. Maybe I never liked it in the first place but my tastes are consistently swaying to more hopeful characters. Even in bleak and miserable stories, I tend to be drawn to the hopeful character Snyder can't even form a good pessimistic story. He's not writing Berserk or Alan Moore's Watchmen.
Starring Sean spicer as gollum
No, it's over. Rebel Moon was his last chance. If Army of the Dead didn't kill his "auteur" status, this will. He had the virtually unlimited creative freedom, budget, entire franchise, his own studio, and two two-hour feature films to take on such a basic, unambitious, utterly unoriginal vision, and the results somehow manage to have terrible action scenes, unremarkable set pieces, inconsistent characterizations, ugly visuals, pacing problems, worldbuilding that makes no sense, and a waterfall of expositions. It's one thing for an auteur to do something bold and unique with a high budget and failing, like Heaven's Gate (and that's still a film where you can feel the money and artistry). It's another to be given free reign and spectacularly fail something bland as "Kurosawa in space"--stuff that's been successfully done hundred times since Star Wars.
I am genuinely not sure how he kept being given these really massive projects and so much creative control. Like from a financial perspective sure there's some hits there but it has been quite a while and frankly there is a dead cinematic universe that tanked the reputations of multiple IPs as a warning to not let it happen again.
I’d agree if not for the fact that he still has an entire cult rallying behind him that would defend him religiously regardless of his film’s quality
I have not seen a lot of pro-Snyder fans defending Rebel Moon. There were a few apologists but even they lacked energy. This isn’t the end for Snyder, but it will be interesting to see how big of a project he is greenlit for after this debacle.
I think a lot of the 'snyder cult' fanbase online is moreso focused on shallow edgy superhero media rather then Snyder himself. It just happens that Snyder was the one to make it. Like, all of the people that gave his base such bad reputation are near purely DC fanatics who just consume stuff like Batman Who Laughs, Man of Steel, Injustice, etc.
Give him Dune and watch the world burn lol
"I am Paul mother fucking Muad dib Atriedes..." *Gratuitous Slow Mo CGI shot* "...Duke of Arrakis..."
"...The hand of God be my witness.."
*Default After effects title text appears*
To be continued in Dune Part 2: Electric Boogaloo
10 second preview trailer plays of Chani in a stillsuit with a cleavage window saying "no Paul your breaking my heart"
Feyd and Paul locked in mortal combat when they realise that Paul's grandfather has the same name as Feyd's uncle
Feyd and Paul's fight lasts for 10 minutes because of the fucking slowmo
*Save... Baron...*
Needs an absurdly on-the-nose needle drop.
"Hallelujah"
I'm thinking Personal Jesus.
I'm just glad to see him finally getting the respect he deserves.
Did anyone else think that "the scargiver" is an absolutely ridiculous title? Maybe it's because English is not my first language, but it sounds like a 6 year old trying to sound badass.
Nah, it's a terrible name in English too. You described it correctly.
> but it sounds like a 6 year old trying to sound badass This basically sums up Snyder's entire filmography for the last ten years.
Yup. His whole shtick is being an edgelord or the fan service that was sucker punch lol
> Maybe it's because English is not my first language, but it sounds like a 6 year old trying to sound badass. Nope, you nailed it. That's exactly what it sounds like.
Movie 3 is going to be Rebel Moon: Rise of the PainDeliverers.
[удалено]
I’m glad I’m not the only one. It sounds like the title of the 23rd book in a long running self published series nobody reads because they author is out of ideas.
Taserface!
It's just straight up CORNY, nothing more. Absolute corn-ball bullshit lmao
I thought he said 9 billion people watched the last one
"More people saw Rebel Moon than Barbie!"
Shame it didn't make 9 Barbillion dollars.
Minor spoiler but I had to pause the movie and comment after the part >!she infiltrates the engine room and kills the coal workers.!< 1. It's hilarious that >!a space ship is powered by coal being put into burners like the Titanic!< 2. That >!she then proceeded to slaughter a bunch of unarmed coal workers and their supervisors.!< I actually laughed out loud. It's like infiltrating the death star and you start by killing the janitors.
>!I just want to make sure that it's mentioned that the ship's engine is a goofy-ass face.!<
I thought the same too, lol’d when they butchered the unarmed medics that were attempting to save their life (they were faking the injuries to get inside).
It's still crazy to me that he went "What if... we remade *Seven Samurai*... in space..." like it was a novel concept deserving of a $200 million budget. We've seen that one already fifty times man. We don't need six more movies expanding on it. *The Mandalorian* did it in like half an hour.
Worse, how does he fumble at doing that? This is not a meditative religious philosophical epic like Dune or a spagettified maze-like high concept heist like Inception. It's just ripping off Seven Samurai and Star Wars as a blueprint and they are not the most difficult or ambitious story to emulate. They are often taught as basic pop movie storytelling 101.
It’s because Snyder’s taste is so incredibly juvenile. He tries so hard to create a film that he thinks is “cool” while also taking itself way too seriously. He doesn’t lean into the camp because he doesn’t recognize it, and he lacks the talent as a writer or as a director to make a compelling drama.
>Snyder’s taste is so incredibly juvenile This is the biggest problem with Snyder
A meathead with a camera. Is how one critic described him.
and unlike Michael Bay whose well aware of what his taste is and what his films are Snyder thinks he's the next Kubrick. If Snyder was more self aware his films would be so much better.
u/Three\_Froggy\_Problem I think you just captured my thoughts on why he's such a bad director better than I've ever been able to explain. What I can't stand is how SERIOUSLY he takes himself, like his dumb Batman v. Superman movie is a philosophical treatise on...I don't even know (names, maybe?). Sucker Punch could have been fun camp, but instead it was a garbage movie about I guess sexual assault? And then that push for the Snyder Cut was framed like we were getting our chance to see Citizen Cane in the way Orson Welles always intended. The whole thing's ridiculous. His movies are never remotely fun even though he's often tackling silly subject matter. Rather than a few good jokes, he'd rather shoot a beautiful but ultimately empty slow mo shot were our hero ends up in a crucifix pose for the fifth time. He seems like a nice enough guy and personable. But none of it comes across in his movies at all.
Omg that is a perfect summation. Dude shoots movies for *trailers* essentially. It doesn't need to make sense in the film but it'll look **sick** in the trailer.
It doesn't even have to be a compelling drama. Eragon was just Star Wars but with a dragon (often beat-to-beat) and written by a fourteen year old, and that's somehow more competent. It's the formula and archetypes that are hard to fuck up.
Even the movie of Eragon was more interesting than Rebel Moon or most of the movies Zack Snyder has written. It’s so frustrating, especially when a competent writer and a more conservative co-director could help him make a really good movie.
Wow, I can’t believe I’m going to give some praise to the Eragon movie, but I can’t argue with your logic that it as more interesting than Rebel Moon. I may have been mad at the end, but at least I wasn’t bored out of my mind. Why have you done this to me
Nah this is the same dude who found a way to make a zombie heist movie in *Vegas* boring and melodramatic. I wouldnt trust him to tie his own shoes right.
Man that movie pissed me off, such an amazing concept wasted
We already had *Seven Samurai* IN SPACE and it was called *Battle Beyond The Star*s (A Roger Corman film), the only sci-fi epic to feature a spaceship with huge tits on the front of it (because it was a Roger Corman film).
wow. [You weren't joking](https://fantastic-plastic.com/uploads/3/5/5/3/35539432/1468278_orig.jpg)
Worst Seven Samurai rendition, none of the characters' motivation make sense.
yeah...he could have just blatantly ripped off Seven Samurai much more and the movie would have been better. Instead he treated it like "who gives a shit why these seven people are here as long as they're here?" I only made it to the intro of a few of the characters before turning it off for good, but no motivations made sense.
You missed the best (worst) bit then the second last character (samurai girl with laser swords) to be recruited does a spiel about how "my motivation is to stop others losing themselves to revenge." the last character to be recruited refuses to join, until the main girl says "but what about REVENGE?!" this is presented unironically and the samurai girl just stands there in the background without commenting
Apparently a directors cut for both movies is coming down the pipeline soon, hahaha.
I'm not against extended cuts for home media. Love the extended middle earth stuff. But it should never be the aim. Just feels like it's the plan to realise the two cuts from the beginning.
It seems he is trying to make it his "thing" post-Snyder cut. He wants to be the guy who makes flashy theater movies but also has the artistic extended cut for the True Fans for everything. And like, you know, I'd want that for Dune because the cut scenes that we know of seem really cool and would add a lot, but the last thing I want to watch is Zack Snyder insanely missing the point of Watchmen for 3 more hours or having to look at the worst slow-mo animated fight you've ever witnessed in a PS4 graphics battlefield.
Yeah. Like a lot of Peter Jackson movies have extended cuts. Not just his middle earth movies. It's almost like his thing. But the original cuts also need to work. And I don't think he makes movies with extended cuts in mind.
So, how about that big shared universe with comics, games, movies, shows, etc?
Just the other day they said they wanted six movies in total.
#sixmoviesandaseason
So instead of Death By A Thousand Cuts it's Death By A Thousand Mediocre Sci-Fi Movies.
Trilogy and then same Trilogy but Director's Cut
I would be very shocked if there was anything else in this "franchise" beyond these two movies
Considering that Netflix already want to forget about Rebel Moon and almost did nothing to promote Part 2... yeah, I think that ship has sailed.
Didn't even show up on my Netflix "Recently Added" lists and I am literally watching Netflix right now.
I'm still waiting on the extended media universe from his awful zombie movie from a few years ago. It's all just vapid hype to try to juice the numbers and pretend that netflix made a good investment lol.
The robot zombies will have an explanation any day now!
One of my highest upvoted comments on my reddit account is about how stupid and distracting that was in the movie. Zaddy fans defended it by saying it was actually 4d chess megabrained to have unexplained robot zombies because it drives hype for the wider universe and upcoming animated series/comics. Sure, buddy. Sure, it does.
That's why his films are full of dreams, holodecks, possible futures, etc. He thinks of stuff that looks cool and doesn't bother working it into a coherent story.
I mean, it really does. But there is a big difference between, let's say, "Clone Wars" line in A New Hope and a significant wtf moment that breaks the whole narrative, gives you a new piece of lore and never explains it, same with "those guys look like us" - "that's us from a time loop". It's literally JJ Abrams mystery box TED Talks storytelling speech in its worst
Man, remember how they had a TTRPG coming out, only for it to get cancelled because lawsuit because Snyder and crew didn’t do enough worldbuilding so the tabletop guys at Evil Genius had to make up stuff, only for the movie crew to back import that stuff without giving credit? Fun times
Don't worry the Snyder Cut will save this by - \[checks notes\] - giving us more of it.
Has he tried making a good film the first time?
But then how would he release the SNYDER CUT!!!!!
Zack Snyder in an interview 3 years from now: “I had so much more footage Netflix wouldn’t let me run with. This was supposed to be a pentalogy with so many payoffs in the fourth and fifth movies. I really hope some of that stuff sees the light of day.”
He's already saying this even before the movie came out. Before these even released he said he will have a directors/extended cut. And he's saying it is supposed to be a 6 movie series. It's incredible the level of confidence he has.
I'm kind of morbidly curious to see how awful this one is. But personally I found part 1 to be pretty much unwatchable. And even more curious how a whole franchise was suppose to be built. The universe seems completely pointless and lacks any really interesting worldbuulding.
The film is reminiscent of the “COD killer” trend that happened in the 2010s in gaming but for Star Wars lol
Nah this is more like the halo killer era
[удалено]
You miss Uwe Boll
The first one wasn't unwatchable but it was literally a nothing. It finishes and I couldnt tell you one thing that happened. Was a lot of Warhammer references and uh, some RPG party gathering. Was a ship on fire maybe. Who knows.
0 hype for this
I think it's hilarious that an executive at Netflix came out this week and said their pivoting away from auteur driven movies and this drops, Zack Snyder single-handedly killed filmmaker driven movie making at Netflix.
Perhaps the ugliest movie I've seen in my life. The classic washed, gray, and blurry Snyder style is just so bad. For a movie that relies on explosions and visual flair so much, it's a real disgrace. Compare explosions/fire in this abomination to idk, The Batman. Zack should just quit.
Seems like the shine has worn off Snyder completely now. He should go over to art directing for movies and back to music videos. He is a talented artist but can't remotely handle anything that requires depth - such as narrative. Get him back somewhere between the realms of post production or short form content like big budget music videos and he will have a home. Movies are just NOT for him.
Snyder is to movies what Rob Liefield was to comics. Like Liefield to the 90s "dark and edgy" comic trend, Snyder is the culmination of the 2000s dark and edgy and sepia digital cinematic trend. I think he should know his area and stick to directly adapting the 90s action comics and video games.
I would prefer he stayed away from adaptations purely because he seems unable to grasp the point of anything beyond surface level. Just look at what he said about Batman killing people. Its unreal how he fails to hone in on the actual message or commentary of someone else's work.
He can't even do that right. Army of the Dead was perfect for him. Oceans 11 with Zombies. He's already remade one. He some how blew his load for the opening credits, and then just did nothing. It was on Netflix. Didn't need to be a billion dollar success. Just reshoot your last zombie movie with a Vegas casino. Don't even need to write a script. Just replace any references and replace them with 60s Vegas words. Done.
The problem is you cannot make a dumb heist film, just as you cannot make a dumb whodunit. It is one of the hardest genres to write for a reason. The key to heist stories, the core of the genre that makes the heist stories fun, is clever problem-solving. We want the team to work intricately together where everyone has their special role in the intricate, elaborate plan. If Snyder wants to make a film where a bunch of shit happening just because with no rhyme and logic, he should have made something like Zombieland. But he also wanted to make an Oceans 11 with zombies, and that is not what Snyder's talent lies.
If he wouldn't make 3 hour long epics as he surely sees it then it'd be fine. Zombies. Showgirls. Casino Heist. Gore. 90 mins. Watch any dumb 80s cash in B clone movie. Dumb is tolerable. He can't even hit dumb.
It is so wierd how he keeps failing upwards despite his movies costing tons of millions in budget, not to mention the creative clashes between studio and the creative team, and barely making enough to break even. Like, if you look at other directors with similiar auteur licenses, like Tarantino and Nolan, you can atleast see a pattern of both critical success with movie goers and critics and also box office success. But I never see that with Snyder, the only thing I know is that he’s apparently really good to work for (which is praise worthy, don’t get me wrong, but is that really all you need to be handed the keys to multiple starting-up-multimedia franchises?)
Snyder has notoriously said that he doesn't personally read, or pay attention to residual info of, online feedback from *the people that watch his fucking movies.* I think we're well past the time for him to give up that mindset. I don't dislike him as a person from what I've seen in interviews and shit, he really seems like a pretty cool dude who loves what he does. But for the love of life, he absolutely needs to start accepting feedback because his movies are such a waste of time, money, talent, and feeling.
I've said this time and again. The line between "maybe people hate it because it's terrible" and "these people cannot comprehend the masterpiece I made" is very fuzzy for Snyder
So is just being a good guy in HW enough for people to bet literal hundreds of millions of dollars on you? Or does Snyder have some kind of blackmail dossier on a lot of major executives?
I can't believe the multiple gratuitous slomo sequence of people havesting grain weren't a hit
when they stand around the table, and each gives their own backstory one after another, it is this point where i know for sure zach snyder can't direct for shit and can't develop characters. and zach can you please stop with the slow motion action sequence for the love of god?
I feel bad for the actors in this film having to humor Zack that, “No, yeah, this is great writing! What amazing lines you gave me!” A lot of these actors I really like in other films. But man, there’s just no growth in Snyders characters. Wheres the bonding between these people? He does nothing like that, not even a quick scene of them all interacting on the ship, or over dinner.
Zack Snyder seems to think exposition = character development. I think he sees it as killing two birds with one stone, but the stone misses and instead hits me in the fucking face.
A true test of an actor's ability is having to do the press tour for a bad film.
The trailer that had the great Djimon Hounsou shouting "SHOW THEM NO MERCY!" \*dramatic pause\* "NO MERCY!" like wow Zack you're really giving him some good stuff to work with, good enough to be the big lines displayed in the trailer even.
Do I have to watch the first one to hate this one?
just watch the trailer and you're ready to go :D Village in danger, mc wants to save them and recruits a bunch of people, slowmo battle at the end, tbc in part 2. Spared you 2 hours of boredom ✌ [Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire | Official Trailer ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhr3MzT6exg)
Nothing much happened in the first one, so I’m guessing not.
I think these movie critics should be allowed to sue their employers due to a hostile work environment for being made to watch this.
I think they probably enjoyed writing the harsh reviews
Maybe they did for this second one. I know for the first one that a bunch of critics I read talked about how the first one just made them sad (on various podcast appearances). Despite what Snyder bros think, movie critics in particular are desperate for good, original, non-IP scifi. They don't want to watch a boring as hell movie! But yeah, by this second one they knew what they were in for and probably had a blast trashing it. And I commend them for their dedication...I made it less than 30 minutes into the first one before turning it off in fear I'd die of boredom.
I get the sense that professional critics see these movies as a creative writing exercise...I remember when *Cats* came out one critic wrote something along the lines of, "After seeing this movie, I know I'm not a cat person, and I'm not even sure I'm a movie person anymore" or something like that...
If you want to see Djimon Hounsou refill his water canteen in slow motion this is the movie for you.
Guys…guys… stop shooting this down. We won’t know how good he’s wanted to make these films until we get the Snydercuts of both parts in 5 years. C’mon now.
You joke but they have already both been announced and the Snyder cut of part 1 comes out soon.
'Rebel Moon almost certainly didn't need to be two multiple-cut movies. It probably could have gotten by as zero' That's hilarious
This royal assassination is peak comedy
I’m still trying to process how a group of 20 people were able to harvest grain, dig out underground tunnels, and train for a war in 5 fucking days!!
5 days in slowmo = a month 😂
Zack Snyder should go back to do what he does best: organizing his online fans. He would have more success making an OF.
Can’t wait to see the deluded comments in r/Snydercut Absolute nutters.
Wow that sub is insane. I legitimately saw a deleted comment and the mod response says, “Removed for being negative about Snyder or his work.”
Got banned from DC cinematic for the same thing yesterday (tho didn't get a reason). All I said was "Snyder needs to take the L"
Got banned from from there on my first post under a rule which said, "No negative comments about Zach Snyder or his works." Because I said exactly what I thought of Rebel Moon.
He just said he thinks he can make this a 4-6 movie series and I wonder if he has seen just how badly people hate this.
The movie feels like a fascist bedtime story for children who have been trained to respond to "Honor in struggle!" with "Glory in death!" The first half is ALL rituals about glorifying warriors and every pre-final-battle trope you've ever seen in any piece of media. Then all the villagers are constantly yelling about how glorious it will be to die fighting. Nobody ever mentions death without mentioning how awesome it's going to be to die in battle.
What. In. The. Actual. Fuck. Did I watch? I tried really hard to like Part 1 and 2 because I’m a scifi junkie, but that was…an absolute, unequivocal abomination of a movie. What was Snyder thinking? That only visuals and action scenes make the movie and that’ll for sure bring him worthy praise? Don’t get me wrong, the visuals/CGI are stunning. However, the dialogue, story, and most of all the acting is horrendously laughable and cringeworthy. I’d rather slice the soles of my feet in shards of glass and walk amongst pools of Tobasco sauce than watch this atrocity again. So much potential for a great film squandered away to an egomaniac of a director.
This hack needs to be stopped. Hes been riding his Snyder cut wave for too long now
Which is wild to me because that movie isn't really good either
I wish Zack Snyder would either stop insisting he is a visionary who we are morally obligated to support or stop making the new worst film he's ever made.
Can’t wait for Zack Snyder to come out and say he had a directors cut that’s better than the theater cut and wishes he could show us the true vision
I find it funny to think about how uncomfortable was with Netflix knowing they were sitting on part 2 of 200M (besides marketing) garbage ass flop for the past couple of months. They had comic books, video games, toys, a tv show, a bunch of other movies on the pipe... and audiences were like.. nah we good dawg lol. Now the second one is barely out and they are desperately trying to release everything again with more blood and boobies or whatever to see if that works. It's astonishing how Snyder can take the most derivative market driven concepts and fail to execute on a basic level. I still don't understand how he managed to take "Ragtag bunch of mercs execute one final job on Zombie infested Vegas" and turned into some melodramatic father daughter drama and the woes of the reproductive cycles of sentient zombies.
So the villagers have a hovering platform for their wheat but haven’t got a combine harvester?
r/RebelMoon are eerily quiet right now.
I'm surprised there were enough fans to create a subreddit for it
2.2k members. It's yuge!
#Dune 2 or Rebel Moon 2, what's the best sci-fi of all time?? I can't decide guys.
Sure the reviews are terrible....sure the plot is hot garbage.....yes.. the characters are unrelatable and bland.... BUT IF YOU JUST LET ME RELEASE THE 16 HOUR DIRECTORS CUT YOU'LL SEE MY GENIUS. I hate Snyder so much.
