I get that, but with car crashes, people watching a car crash doesn't directly lead to the potential of someone making more crashes lol.
Once upon a time, I had convinced myself that at least Snyder has cool visuals and good action. But from everything I've heard, Rebel Moon 1/2 whiff on both of these fronts too. What a shame.
Yeah, can't say I'm a fan of the Rebel Moon films. Just finished part 2 and all i could think is that I want to watch Seven Samurai.
The assassination scene toward the beginning was dumb as hell. None of the characters feel fleshed out still even though it's been a total of like 4 hours now. Dialogue is dull and stilted.
Some nice visuals and ideas. Robot with the antlers just looks cool always. Actually, the robot is probably the most interesting character in both films and has the least screen time. Nemesis (? - i forget everyone's names) waiting in the long house is just one of those classic action moments that will always feel cool no matter what, so no special points there, but still dug it.

Without spoiling much? Is this better (or less bad) than the first?
Is there more of the robot guy?
If Yes to robot guy I'll probably watch it.

No. Yes.
Can't wait for that YouTube pitch guy to take the piss out of this one. So we have a 2hr film and instead of those warriors they recruit in Part 1 doing badass things, we have them spend half the film farming wheat. Sounds great!

Imaginative and exciting are not two words I would use to describe this film. Faaaaar from it. Predictable and bland perhaps.
This is so funny to me.
"It's so boring, had to stop before the middle. I'll just wait on the longer, possibly more boring, version."
I didn't even know the sequel came out until I saw this thread got bumped. I genuinely wonder why people are watching it first day if they hated the first part. I didn't like the first movie very much, but I'll see if I can watch it over the weekend. I do love me some Seven Samurai.
At the very least, I'm enjoying reading the same criticisms that were levied on the first movie in this thread lol. Fool me once, fool me twice etc.
Do they actually use 120 min of the runtime to farm wheat or is that a joke? Ive seen that saying elsewhere as well
And the Empire don't show up in Tatooine and demand Uncle Owen and Aunt Beru provide 10,000 litres of water in like 6 weeks or whatever.
Like, I don't mind stories being low-stakes, but the fact there's a ground battle at all makes no sense. The NotEmpire would have just blasted the village off the face of the planet and broadcast the resulting crater to other fringe planets as a warning to not resist them. Snyder shouldn't have tried to copy Seven Samurai so literally.
Zack Snyder's cut tend to be better though like Justice League and BvS. So at least it'll be a decent watch.
"I'm so glad we got the boring stuff out in part 1"
But also: within the first 30 minutes there's extended slo mo. Integers of the villagers harvesting wheat. Were one step away from slo mo grass growing

Is there really no justification for a ground assault versus just blasting it from orbit (or flying the ships into the wooden buildings and destroying them?). Star Wars itself did Seven Samurai twice and didn't run into this problem either time, having the village go up against smaller forces that either needed what the village had stored or didn't have access to spaceships.
They went out like a chump, if I was the actor I'd be pissed
Yeah, but would you watch an anime about an intergalactic all-consuming machine empire trying to conquer Earth and being defeated by dinosaurs?
Okay, here is something people are missing about the slo mo farming: It is actually the best part of the film.
Once you get to the unbelievably terrible fighting you'll be wishing to see that slo mo grain threshing action once again.
Here are the actions of our non-Kora and Gunnar "leads" in the last hour of the film:

- Milius is off screen in a building somewhere, just to emerge towards the end to blow up a single tank.
- Titus marches towards the bridge screaming and shooting while Tarak is in the background bonking people with axes.
- Nemesis waits in the longhouse and has one fight entirely in slow motion.
- Jimmy the Robot finally shows up and blows up a tank.
Which they blow up anyway (and not just once they find out the Scargiver is on board).
Which begs the question why they didn't just grab her when she was standing a meter away with only one guy for an escort

Holy shit, the flashback scene where
Kirs remembers how the royal family was killed, it's so bad, amateur shit, live musicians playing dramatic music in the background just because, everything is so poorly shot, acted and coreographed, everything in this movie looks like it was never fully developed, i can't believe how stupid everything is
Action scenes in Rebel Moon makes me think that Zack Snyder had nothing to with this the famous Warehouse scene in Batman v Superman. Or at the very least editor, action choreographer and stunt persons fought very hard to make it the way it in final film. Or, third option, dude straight up forgot how to make action movie.

Before I use to able to say that despite him not understanding the character, at least Batman fighting goons looks like freaking Batman fighting goons (sans all the killing). Now I don't feel like giving him any credit for that.
Surround yourself with better people who will challenge you Zack Snyder. And for the love of God, stop reading Ayn Rand.

Hmm, this is now a great opportunity for me to suggest you watch Stargate SG-1 for exactly that. It's good stuff.
Did anyone else find that scene when
Unintentionally funny asf? I couldn't... just lost my shit and started lol'ing the moment it happened
I mean
This felt so damn awkward and uncalled. Felt really something out of a "The Office" moment. Stuff Michael/Dwight would do.
Can't believe Zack thought this was anything profound or poetic
Titus starts singing outta nowhere

wtf, everybody having a great time, all cool, then this dude comes out of the blue and starts humming some unnintelligible stuff all depressive and all in the middle of the room for all to hear, just killing everyone's mood. Biggest party pooper

Man these movies are REALLY hampered by going for a PG-13 level of violence. I am so confused because Snyder used to be really good at action and he's been able to portray it well in a PG-13 rating even with regular human on human action like the Batman warehouse fight scene in BvS, but he just can't seem to sell the impact here. I feel like he's holding back or just really doesn't know what to do when he can't rely on blood or gore to sell the visceralness like in 300 or superhumans that punch like trucks. Every time someone uses a blade, it just never works and looks silly. Not that it would save either of these trainwrecks.
Did we ever find out why they didn't just do these R rated? It's not like it was ever going to theaters. The only logic I can think of is that they wanted this to be a huge all ages franchise that kids could get in to like Star Wars, but then forgot to include all the things that would need like fun characters, and humor, and a lighter non-edgy tone, etc etc.

I didn't find it funny, but I did clock it as awkward. My immediate thought was "Way to kill the vibe Titus".
I didn't hate the first part. It was under cooked as hell but it was neat to see all the different locals. This one was actually worse.
Snyder just doesn't know how to do climaxes it's actually insane - all the pieces of a satisfying final 30 minutes are here but he even fucks that up.
Shitty movie
Shitty movie
There is in fact longer unrated cuts of both movies or a single long one coming later this summer as I understand, because for some stupid reason they wanted another Snyder cut marketing gimmick despite it being on Netflix and there not being a need to censor anything or being concerned about lenght.
This was far better than the first. All the setup there was overindulgent fluff on top of by the numbers writing. So unnecessary. This was a straightforward scifi actioner. Pretty ok but begs the question - you were given a blank check yet this is is your most creative idea?
For a space opera you should have more space ships battles tbh (and some basic strategy such as the battle of the deathstar in SW1)
That's the thing that gets me most. People would kill for this opportunity. I don't understand how a supposed creative is given the keys to Willy Wonka's factory and turns out this dog kibble.
Nah, that was great.
Imagine being such a villain you hire musicians to play while you assassinate a king. I was crying.
Whats the fuck kind of farming community has anti-gravity carts but not mechanical harvesters and threshers? They're out there flying in spaceships and beating their wheat stalks with sticks.
Seriously what the hell Snyder.
Edit: even just something to pull behind one of their space horses. None of this makes any sense.

Imagine someone like Guillermo del Toro, Danny Boyle or Alex Garland being given $160m by Netflix and carte blanche to come up with a couple of original sci-fi films. Instead we get Snyder and this derivative underbaked slop.
Maybe then we could have got that At The Mountains of Madness movie instead of this.
