Civil War tore us apart. Rebel Moon brought us back together.

[@creativeusername333]

Jeff screaming about the wheat while you cut to endless shots of people harvesting wheat is hilarious 🤣

[@ANTIStraussian]

Okay let's say they deliver the 12,000 bushels of wheat to the dreadnought. Now what? Does the ship have a flower mill? Okay and if it does you just get tons of bread, cereal and pasta for your soliders. Can't believe they didn't make it a mining village and they needed all their space rocks for their quantum drive.

[@Andrew.W.19]

The reviews for this movie have been way more entertaining than the movie itself.

[@Eugene-nc6rf]

Ikr 😂

[@SuperheroMovies998]

Oh this movie is super entertaining, but not in a good way. It's an absolute laugh of a watch. Super small scale, with an intergalactic empire losing to a damn primitive village of 150 people, I mean Zack Snyder and his writers have got to be joking. Does Tarak have Superpowers? Then why is Tarak running around with 2 damn axes like he has superpowers and is invulnerable to gunfire, Atticus noble dieing and then coming back exactly the same. Noble changing his mind about the wheat. It was an absolute embarrassment.

[@thekillerprawn]

1:46 "cookie cutter" + "cardboard cutout" = cookie board cutout

[@AllInTheGame01]

Would gladly take more seasons of unfortunately cancelled Netflix shows like Mindhunter for the $166m+ that was handed over to Snyder to bore viewers! Should be noted that Leave the World Behind which came out on Netflix 2wks before Rebel Moon P1 blew P1's viewership away to become the 5th most watched movie in Netflix history!

"at the end of the day....Davinda: no!...no. was the best part of this!

[@thisisspartacus]

I do enjoy the rare angry sarcastic Devindra on the reviews. He’s usually so positive in his reviews.

[@mjmullady]

I can't believe you put yourselves through this...again...you are all heroes

[@InbarStrauch]

Thank you Devindra for the "NO. You cannot do that today." 40:59 It was a long time coming for that but the wait was worth it. Dave, drop that rote ending. Take a page from Jeff and his limericks and come up with an original ending for every episode. you can even use AI. Every eps has original opening, now do the ending. At the end off the day "at the end of the day" has run it's course.

[@christian-mosesholtz5458]

great show as always. jeff's limerick is always the icing on the cake.

[@AlessandroFilippiUX]

Zack Snider should not be allowed anywhere near a script ever again. The more he gets involved with the script the wose the movie gets, and when he gets full control, like here, is like hitting the self destruct button on the entire production. It is baffling that somethig like this was even allowed to get released in this state. It is as much of failure on every level as it is serious in its execution. Like someone convinced to be a genius set up a global event to reveal a world changing product, and then when finally enters the stage proceeds to fart withot interruption for 4 hours in dolby atmos.

[@AddOnKicks]

They couldn't even do the outro 😂 I'm so glad I haven't wasted any of my time with these movies. Thank you all for taking the fall so those of us who wait to hear if something's actually worthwhile didn't have to. 👏

[@SneakyNinjaDog]

Yeah Nemesis just had these two cool robot arms lying around and thought "I gotta use them" ... and in this future having your arms removed and robot arms attached does not require surgery, a doctor, a clinic, anything. No it's a DIY kit where you just cut your own arms off and attach them. Yeah I am thinking Zack had this idea in 5th grade and used it now.

[@wilknoble6072]

As bad as this was, I was almost expecting Snyder to appear after the movie to announce these were not "movies," but actually a two-part "pre-release trailer" for the immediate launch of Rebel Moon: The Video Game.... and the special thing is - they will gather the collective play-through data from the fanbase to determine the plot of the next movie! (arms out) Surprise! One of those "you decide" type of things... I can't believe it's this bad on accident, I just can't.

[@goodfella1401]

Only positive thing about this movie is that Djimon Hounsou is in it but unfortunately he can't even do much with the horrendous dialogue that has been written for him

[@ashesfrombones]

Rebel Moon: Part 3 - Time Waster Rebel Moon: Part 4 - Slow-Moer

[@JuniperoHendricks]

Rebel Mune: The grain must flow

[@madorcvalfort5129]

What I find most sad with Rebel Moon is that there is a interesting story buried somewherein that the movie. It's just that it's dreadfully told...

[@NzeRekoRec]

Does that even matter if it's a story ripped from better movies. You can just watch those originals because they are actually good. All Snyder knows these days is "the rule of cool" and that's just not enough.

[@BenChanNYC]

Re: the back-to-back backstories sequence, I suspect Snyder was watching "The Breakfast Club" and thought, "Hey - the part where they sit in a circle and talk about why they're in detention was the best part - I'll just take that, but make it even better with kick-ass visuals!"

[@Maxaveli98]

Legendary roast

[@ebransc09]

I’ll get you Scargiver & your little friends too!!!

[@stevenmclennan1953]

Just watched this last night. Until listening to this review I just automatically assumed the story wasn't finished and Part 3 would be out in a couple of months. I don't understand how that was meant to be the end of this story.

[@F12GRAND]

I really enjoyed this movie. I understand why it's terrible, but there's a level of absurdity that I found hilarious, like the tavern completely going silent and turning to watch Djimon Hounsou as he walks up to the fire pit - well before he bursts into song. It's just one of those things I can't imagine gets through review by mistake.

[@jool7793]

The problem is that it’s so boring that I fall asleep and miss all of the absurd moments.

[@stevendixon6583]

😊Dam that was so fun 🤩

[@koryeasterday5164]

I refuse to believe that anyone who likes this movie has the ability to comprehend how much $160 million is; or what can be done with that much money.

[@kyle4693]

Holy crap he didn’t say it! He. Didn’t. Say. At the end of the day! This is a monumental day. Thank you for having integrity.

[@sarahcahlik0u8me]

I loved the video rant you did about the terrible movie! There was one important point you missed though, the spaceships that were powered by coal. WTF!!l lol

[@jool7793]

lol intergalactic spaceships that can create wormholes……..using coal.

[@paulgibbon5991]

Oddly enough, steam-propelled spaceships are something being considered for long-range exploration. But they'd gather their fuel from water ices (taken from comets, icy moons, etc) rather than use coal, which would be incredibly weight-inefficent.

[@LuizBarrosPoa]

The sister bloodaxe showing at the last second was a Deus Zack's Machina...

[@jool7793]

No. The robot showing up at the end was literally a Deus Ex Machina.

[@anagai]

Was expected ending to the seven samurai story line. Did not believe that love relationship at all. They are suddenly in love? Was watchable and entertaining. Still way way better then any of Zack's superman/justice league movies.

[@ANTIStraussian]

I think that's where the wheat thing comes from. Copy and pasting seven samurai and replacing everything with space stuff except for the wheat.

[@jool7793]

A character who loses a hand hasn’t been done by anyone?? Anakin Luke Both lost hands and replaced with robot hands and both use lightsabers

[@AndresArosemena]

they meant a character that cut their own arms

[@ZachMilneTalksMovies]

I didn’t mind part 1 but part 2 went downhill fast. Action could be cool but I didn’t care about anything that was happening. With 4hrs of screen time Snyder still failed to get me attached to these characters. I was just bored. I’m done with this franchise now. Great review!

[@PaperMario64]

😂 You can tell which scenes Zach loved from Star Wars and which he totally missed because he was busy telling his PA how much better he could make the shot 😂.

[@codinghusky5196]

About the R rating... the R rating has the ability to make cool fight scenes even cooler, and make fun dialogue even more fun. It doesn't have the ability to make a terribly written movie a well written movie. I mean unless it's porn; and you have a 3 minute movie about a plumber coming in to fix the pipe and then your R rated version is a 47 minute version of the movie featuring hard core sex.

[@jool7793]

An r rating makes a cool fight scene bloodier and adds dirty words to dialogue. Blood and dirty words don’t make a movie better.

[@gregorycollins6561]

Uhh...pretty darned great limerick!

[@yetipotato8567]

The Empire is really bad, we all have bad experiences with it and it is now on the backfoot because of dynasty is dead. Oh my god, the princess is alive! Let's unite the empire

[@paulgibbon5991]

See, empires are only a problem when BAD people are in charge! The solution isn't to change to a representative form of government, we just need a better dictator.

[@yurikendal4868]

Synder bros shouldnt be surpsied at this. From 300 to even this there was pretension. Man of steel, the 4 hour slog of the justic leaague...pretension and hideous story tellinjg. Yall synder fans need to stop endorsing the production of pretty looking turds.

[@VictorDiGiovanni]

Every frame of this film (and part one) is objectively a work of beautiful art. Pause it on any frame, and it's just stunningly beautiful. But it's in service to absolutely nothing. WHY is the cool robot with a lightsaber and antlers wreaking havok on a battlefield? Zack Snyder makes the best trailers. His director's cuts should be four minutes long, not four hours.

[@anagai]

Liked the divulging back story one at a time. Each story was interesting. They depicted their stories visually. If was super boring wouldn't care for it. This is how you do it in a real world group setting. Like in a AA meeting.

[@mariusi]

Either the titles of the last many reviews are just baiting (can't listen to the whole review yet), or somehow we diverged so much in taste but only very recently. Anyhow, I found it OK, as engaging as the 1st, and way above average for a straight to streaming release. Y'all have unrealistic expectations from such a film

[@GreenPeelEL34]

His career is over. 😂

[@gadget183]

Basically when the group are captured by the Scorpion machine after they were betrayed Kai, Atticus Noble calls Kora 'Athur Lias the Scar giver' even before she gave him the Scar but correction!, Gunnar also dies at the end of part 2, so it wasn’t just Nemesis!,

[@TheWisestWizards]

Loved seeing the disrespect at the end of the review. Snyder deserved it!

[@KevinMichaelFilms.]

More bad takes from a grifter

[@jool7793]

Yeah Zack Snyder is a grifter. 166 million for this trash is crazy.

[@ethanjannes7587]

The title evoke the tone that they’re actually going for which is self-effacing self-indulgently insular nerd shit collage, I think the movies achieve that

[@deanparsons389]

This video is a waste of time

[@SuperheroMovies998]

Guys, you're under selling just how bad this film really was. You have to fully form within your minds, just how bad this thing really is. You're telling me that the premise of these 2 films are that, this Intergalactic Empire needs to feed their men, and they hold this moon hostage to get their wheat? 🌾 Q. Can this Wheat give the empires soldiers super powers, that can help them and make the conquering of more planets even easier? A. No, it can't do that, its just regular wheat? Q. What? Can't this Intergalactic Empire produce their own food? Can't they find other food sources? A. No, they can't, but that Wheat is tasty, I'm telling you. This is shell shockingly bad writing. In the Final Battle, tarak was running around with 2 damn axes, with laser fire flying all around him, and not a single laser hits him. This is brain dead nonsense. And that Bridge Battle with general Titus and tarak was an absolute embarrassment, look at the villagers celebration, holding up melee weapons of axes, swords etc after defeating assault Rifled armed soldiers. It was an absolute embarrassment. Atticus noble decides to destroy the wheat because kora is at the village there? Really? What about all the fuss noble kicked up about the Wheat in part 1? It got so bad that it became an absolute embarrassment of a watch. Zack Snyder and his writers have lost their Damn minds

[@kaimargonar1000]

The wheat would make sense if they can convincingly set up the universe is filled wiht super dry planets and only this one planet aint barren. Or make the wheat special like how spice is important n have spiritual reverent in DUNE

[@SuperheroMovies998]

​@@kaimargonar1000Yes but at that point, all of the other planets and there animals and human populations would die off from starvation. So the film would be called Rebel Moon: the only Moon left. How about scrap the wheat idea, and build upon the Princess Issa bringing back benevolence to the Imperium - something they once had but lost, and Balisarius not happy with this direction at all of losing all war operations the Imperium built up over the decades, and Balisarius plotting an insurrection against the imperiums royal family, kora torn between the two, etc. Just build into that. And film everything within the huge scale of the Motherworld, not this small scale moon called Veldt.

[@ANTIStraussian]

​@@kaimargonar1000 that dreadnought didn't have a flower mill!
