The Scargiver Completely Changed my Mind about Rebel Moon | Rebel Moon Part 2 Review

Zack Snyder's highly controversial space epic is back for round 2! Only four months after the release of Part 1, we're checking out Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver.
To the displeasure of many of you, I actually enjoyed Part 1 of Zack Snyder's newest story. But Part 2 left a very different taste in my mouth. Certain things I was willing to overlook in Part 1 never coming to fruition in Part 2. And what's worse, some of the attempts to fix these problems were done in some of the laziest ways imaginable.
Unfortunately, I don't have as much praise for Zack going into this video, but I do try and be fair and point out some of his positives. Such as his ability to really bring the Village to life.
If you don't want Spoilers, be sure to catch the movie on Netflix first. But beyond that, let's take a deep dive into Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon!

Kora really fails as a main hero (and I say that as someone who likes Sofia Boutella as an actress). She’s a child murderer who was fully willing to go along with slaughtering the royal family. And she only leaves when SHE is betrayed. And she has a chance to kill the guy responsible, but doesn’t and instead kills random guards. Also having her mercilessly gun down doctors/medics who were just trying to treat the wounded soldiers, and random guys just shoveling coal, was a weird choice as well.

Maybe millenials and gen z have a higher cringe factor due to watching it constantly. But as a gen x who is used to good tv and movies I couldn't even make it through 10 minutes of part one. I was like why am I wasting my time? This gives me NOTHING!

[@yurikendal4868]

Its actually the milenilas and gen z given the harshest critiques of these garbage movies coming out and being very much on point.

[@shamrockdragon7634]

Kora killed a child(yes somehow the princess returned) but Kora doesn't regret shooting that child, she's more upset that her evil adopted dad turned on her. She kills medics, coal shovelers and an enslaved goddess-like being, she is not a good person. In the video I did I said I wasn't sure if Tarak was worse than Kora but on thinking about it, I think he is. At least Kora admits in the end what she did to everyone, while Tarak lied to them about wanting to protect his mother, when in actuality he just stood there and let her needlessly, stupidly kill herself.

[@Emanon...]

Change my mind too. I thought: Maybe he can save it in part 2. I will give Snyder this, though: it left me scarred

[@featherguardian6023]

I had Zero Expectations to see this Sequel and I won’t even watch it as I don’t care about Snyder’s Movies Anymore since BVS.

[@ANTIStraussian]

When i watched part 1, i knew the wheat subplot wouldn't matter in part 2. I figured a general would say i dont care about the wheat blow them up from orbitm

[@animatedstorytelling1996]

If only. Could have saved many of us hours of our life if so.

[@maxm.7459]

The eternal teenager and sweet lamb Sofia as a stormtrooper is a funny joke!👍😘🐑🍑🤣🤣🤣

[@jonathancocco]

Great breakdown, I pretty much agree with everything you said!

[@shadf7902]

No it didn't, stop the lies. Rebel moon 1 and 2, worst movies ever made in the history of the universe!

[@animatedstorytelling1996]

I’ve definitely seen worst, but there’s way better to give your time to. I think the title confused you. This video isn’t defense of RM. I initially made a video in December about how I thought the series could have potential and people should give it a chance. But got shat on the second this movie came out and did absolutely nothing through its two hour runtime.

Tied with army of the dead

[@thanktink4328]

Zack the hack..

[@getsugatenshou4309]

[@RyanKarolak]

I'll probably watch the directors cuts sometime after they come out. I don't expect them to be significantly better though, maybe just more violence and sex since that's what it sounds like they will have. There are times where they started to set up opportunities to let characters grow, but it's never realized. Kora cold have been shown to become more compassionate and break away from her programming. Nemesis could have taken on more of a motherly and protector of children role, setting up to her last fight. These never happened, and the weird timing of the sequence of events being over just a few days in part two didn't allow this either. It's like the scene where the banners are given out and by Sam - you can see where Snyder intended to take those characters, but it didn't feel earned because much of that admiration isn't actually shown on-screen, and it's also stated that the group outside of Kora and Gunnar only has been there for a few days given it was only five days between their arrival and the final battle which isn't much time for the heroes and the villagers to get to know eachother.

[@animatedstorytelling1996]

I think it’s what sucked the most. Cause I absolutely saw those opportunities too. He had a lot of really cool ideas. I just don’t think he pulled them off the way he must have thought he did.

[@jamessimon3433]

Wow... I applaud your analysis. For me its really hard to even asess the movie because its a soulless void. Sanctioned theft of my time and money, a deadweight. So inert and generic to the point of being laughable. But i enjoyed your analysis, its food for thought. Thank you.

[@animatedstorytelling1996]

Appreciate it! Glad you liked the video

[@elphbwckd212]

Where is the animation?

[@animatedstorytelling1996]

It would only disappoint you…

[@brendanmohareful]

Popcorn movie that I enjoyed and will never watch again.

[@animatedstorytelling1996]

That’s the best way to do it. If I had this on in the background, or just lounging out. Would have been fine. But actually looking into it for video purposes, not as great

[@yurikendal4868]

THere are so many of those given such a huge budget and takes themselves far more seriously. We need to have better standards for our movies. We need to reject the seweage being thrown at us and the implied demand we give them unearned praise.

[@yurikendal4868]

Nothing from shynder has truly impressed me. 300 was fun but inaccurate as buggers. Its always been style over substance. The extended justice league was more fluff then necessary. I watched that on double speed and felt I missed nothing. Hes got cool visusals, but pretty colored turds need to stop happening. Synder is not a visionary. He is a hack. The weird tech in this moive and inchoherent vision overall in any of his movies should be apparent by now. The MOS parents were NOT the hero'es parents we knew. They were as much villian as anyone else. Lex Luther was a whacky incoherent child that made no sense. It took several watches and several videos of this movie to make any sense of b v m.

[@animatedstorytelling1996]

It’s really a shame he doesn’t lean into his strengths. There are great directors out there that don’t write their own stories. They know they’re visually talented and rely on writers to make up where they fail. Zack really could be one of the greats if he didn’t spend so much time trying to prove he could be another Nolan. Especially since he hasn’t succeeded…

[@freman007]

I haven't watched Rebel Moon 1 or 2. I just enjoy watching people ripping on it. Because Snyder deserves it.

[@animatedstorytelling1996]

You may be the smartest person here. All the rest of us suffered for nothing

[@Dorask]

You are first reviewer I see to advise to watch this movie first before watching this reviews. All the other reviewers ask you to skipped it :)).

[@animatedstorytelling1996]

I feel it’s a professional curtesy to do. Even if my “profession” is being a talking 2D robot complaining about movies.

[@merdufer]

People often forget Star Wars' original rough cut was a slow, expository mess, until George Lucas hired three new editors (one of them his wife at the time) to create a more exciting cut of the movie, which contained 30-40% different footage from the original cut. A different cut of Rebel Moon wouldn't fix how derivative it ultimately is, but at least it could have been more fun.

[@animatedstorytelling1996]

Sometimes that what matters too. Half of the movies in the MCU would have been god awful slogs if they weren’t so vibrant and fun. An enjoyable movie can often times cover up the shortcomings of a not so great movie. Won’t exactly save it, but at least people can get through the first watch and not feel they wasted hours of their lives. The later Fast and Furious and Michael Bay’s Transformers movies have proved this over and over.

[@merdufer]

@@animatedstorytelling1996 Yes. By trying to make Star Wars, which he simply didn't have in him, Snyder missed the opportunity to make Transformers. I do think a good editor with all his footage, with some clever use of ADR and editing tricks, could put together an entertaining 110-minute movie out of the two parts.
