Rebel Moon 2 Is EVEN WORSE Than The First!

[@doublep1980]

The grain, was the only thing that got an actual character arc in this movie. You think I'm trolling, but hear me out. The grain was planted, grow on the field, got harvested, got milled into flour, the flour was put into sacks, the sacks were used as shields and finally, the sacks of flour were blown up. That is more of an arc than any of the other characters had.

[@sweetchristmas101]

But did it get any flashbacks? That's the true hallmark of modern characterization Perhaps the Snyder Cut will show it getting planted, or showcase a couple of hardcore irrigation scenes.

The grain sequence really deserves a David Attenborough overdub - "The Triumph of Grain". "Dawn breaks, over the veldt. It is cool now but the sun will beat down soon enough. The villagers have planned for the harvest, at least since last night. Friends, family, former foes, now all joined in a common task. With embroidery. But time. Is short.".... Try it!

[@marcd1981]

I thought it was the most ridiculous part of this show. None of that could have happened the way it did. They accomplished 2 weeks worth of work in 3 days, supposedly working around the clock to get everything done. The problem with that theory is they had time for eating and drinking with everyone in the village, and then go through an awards ceremony, giving the main characters cool names and some embroidery.

[@tsuikagura]

This movie has the exact aesthetic... story ...and tastefulness of a SUPER BOWL beer commercial. All-american, slo-mo sweat-in-the sun, perfect bodyin', women and men grain harvestin', god-lovin', hymn-singin', faith celebratin' 2 hours long advertisement. Zack needs to make ads instead of movies. That's what his direction seems ideal for.

A clean slate, a ton of money, creative freedom. It is so very rare we get the chance for something truly new and well made, in the sea of remakes, sequels, prequels, reboots... And it was wasted.

It breaks my heart how movies like this tarnish the reputation of original creations for years, maybe decades.

The grain is Snyder version of Dunes' spice i guess, this whole shshow is him nicking stuff from other movies, and acting like this is some amazing original story.

[@nailinthefashion]

Dune: spice is a by product of the natural cycle of the planet, it’s insanely powerful with potentially limitless uses, is abundant and just needs to be harvested but there’s a balance to it, you have to become one with Dune to be able to benefit from it. So you can use it to navigate the stars, but you’ll always be led back and you can’t strain the ecosystem too much otherwise you lose the spice. The entire story revolves around that choice, does one stick to the golden path and force humanity to change by terraforming Dune or do we let people make their own choices even though it guarantees conflict over the spice. Rebel Moon: we are blatantly too lazy to grow our own food but we won’t use technology to genetically modify wheat that can grow in space instead we will make a whole planet devoted to slavery??? Because they’re EEEEEEVIIIIIIIIIIL….

Did I miss something? Why did main-character-lady have to kill the child? So she could be framed as the murderer of the entire family? But... there were around a hundred surviving witnesses in that room! And if ALL OF THEM were in on the conspiracy to frame her, why make her shoot the child in the first place? They could have just killed the princess themselves and then told everybody she did it. Forensics apparently wouldn't make any difference, because if the empire has the forensic to determine that it was her who killed the princess, they now would also have the forensic to determine that she did NOT kill the rest of the family, right? Does anything in that scene make any sense?

[@zephyr8072]

Not to mention every single one of those literal backstabbing Senators could at any time out Belisarius as the murderer who screamed at Kora to shoot the princess. If just one of those guys pocketed a recording device it's all over for him.. and why wouldn't they because again they are literal backstabbers. The betrayed the mightiest king of the mightiest space empire of all time (allegedly). Why does Bel think he's just fine painting a target on himself AND making an enemy out of the best soldier/bodyguard he's ever had? I mean seriously! She obeyed Bel without question! She barely hesitated. Why the _hell_ would he then use such a useful and *loyal* asset as a scapegoat when everyone in the room saw what happened? Why are these people the way they are?

Talking about grain is like if Star Wars' main plot point was Luke's moisture farm. 😬

[@TaoScribble]

From what I heard, these two movies were originally one three-hour movie. Snyder was told that that was too long; that two-hour movies do better and he had to shorten it. Snyder said he couldn't do that without removing character-building moments, so instead he'd give them two movies. So...why are all the character-building moments info dumps? Why do we still know so little about the characters to the point where everyone keeps forgetting their names? Why are none of these characters engaging? Seems to me that he's a hack. Either that or a scammer, considering that he split the movie in half and then added egregious amounts of filler in the form of slo-mo.

[@NameNotAChannel]

Like I said about the first movie: It should have been a netflix miniseries with each episode introducing one of the characters, their backstories, and reasons for joining, along with an episodic big baddie to take down. The whole team building scene in part 2 should have been divvied up per character, and bundled into those intro episodes. The story is missing some serious world building so we understand what's going on in the universe, and why this princess would have the power to reincarnate/whatever she does to still be alive, along with all her other powers (talking with animals, bringing things back to life, etc... I forget everything she did in part 1). The battle scene at the end was just horrible. Characters standing out in the open firing their guns... and living to tell about it. And I never believe for one second that the little village would be able to hold off any army, let alone one with laser blasters cannons, etc... it was bad enough when the little village tried standing up to the Orc army in Rings of Pow...rime. I don't know why they even bothered to land troops... sure,... the grain...

Imagine a sci-fi film pitch so bad even Disney thought it was lame.

[@stormtraitor6545]

They just saw Zack Snyder and that was enough.

[@devontehuntley6274]

I mean, the story being turned down by Disney means nothing. Remember, REBEL MOON, was tweaked from the original Star Wars pitch to be something original, so who's to say everything in the movies was 100% the same from when it was a Star Wars story? Zack would have to change lores, characters, backstory, and erase any Star Wars continuity ties that was originally there and add in a bunch of new plot details and elements. This could mean 40% of the story could have been altered for all we know. Whatever Zack pitched as a Star Wars story could have very well been golden compared to what would be the mess Rebel Moon would be due to the changes to make it original and thus, things would seem off and poorly written. This would be the case of Zack not really crafting a good story when changing it and needed to work on it more. Now perhaps the Star Wars story was also bad and the changes did nothing or made things worse, but we'd never know unless Zack release the script for the original story for us to see how it fared before the alterations. For his sake, I hope it wasn't and that's a strong possibility to immediately say the original Star Wars pitch was terrible that Disney passed it up based on what Rebel Moon turned out to be. That's not really a good judgement. But given how terrible Disney's own Star Wars movies would be, I'm shocked they'd reject whatever Zack pitched if he DID make something on par bad or perhaps slightly better. -_-

Gotta love the fact that this movie tries to get us to feel bad for an attempted child-killer. The fact that Kora was following orders when she shot a child with intent to kill doesn't excuse her for doing so. The princess forgiving her and surviving her attempted murder _(somehow)_ do not magically exonerate Kora or recontextualize her choices; nor does Belisarius' betraying her and blaming her for his scheme when she still played a part in that scheme willingly. Add to all this the fact that she had a chance to shoot the treacherous Belisarius but couldn't bring herself to, only to later feel no compunctions about mowing down defenseless medical personnel. Kora's not a hero, she's just an @$$hole.

[@zephyr8072]

That can be made to work. It would actually be interesting to have that in her background and what she has to atone for, based on the idea that Belisarius had conditioned her to obey him without question. It would just require some actually good writing, for example not having Belisarius betray her for no reason but rather her leave by choice out of guilt, and then building on that. This'd also set up a more interesting dynamic between them later, essentially that Belisarius wanted her right at the top with him, but she could no longer stand what he would have her do for that.

[@JustAnArrogantAlien]

@@zephyr8072 This is true. A story about Kora committing an awful crime, realizing how far she has fallen, and fighting to atone for that sin could have been a fascinating story. I guess I should clarify my original point. The fact that Kora is so reprehensible isn't the problem as much as the fact that _Rebel Moon_ doesn't seem to understand how morally terrible she is. The film keeps presenting her as a hero despite the many war crimes she has committed and continues to commit.

3:03 that is not a lens flair. That is a scratched lens in 2 places. They don't move. The lens flares move. Zack the Hack Snyder loves to use inferior equipment.

I'll be honest, I wouldn't mind a customised hand towel. I could use that for all sorts of things.

I can sum this up on 1 word. SHITE

I didn't hate Watchmen, I didn't hate Man of Steel, I didn't watch 300 and I'm sure I missed a lot of his other films, so maybe that's why I don't get why Zak Snyper is so revered. BVS was trash. Both versions of JL were trash (silk purses and sows ears spring to mind). Who in their right minds thought Rebel Moon would somehow be good or that six of 'em would be better - perhaps by the law of averages? He isn't a story-teller, he's a polemicist. The cartoons look pretty good, though, the space ships, the space shots, the spaces between the dialogue sound great. Whoever did the animation should get more work to do on a proper film some day. I just hope they didn't waste time on this when they could've been working on She Hulk or The Marvels or something.

Critics make a living by being, well, critics. How much do you appreciate your friend, the critic, if you’re still friends at all?

Do the Empire ships have facilities to process grain into biscuits?
