Rebel Moon felt like one of those movies that insult your intelligence.

[@tylerskiss]

Screenwriting used to be a discipline where you wrote a screenplay and then you rewrote it, and then you rewrote it again… These days you either have 40 different writers each take one swipe at the same screenplay or you have a writing group, which if you’ve ever worked with one, you’ll know exactly why that never works. If you don’t know why that is, just get 6 people together in a room and ask them all where they want to get lunch from and watch what happens…

If Rebel Moon is gonna work as a franchise then it needs people who understand and know how to develop a universe.

Damn. You just nailed Zack Snyder in a nutshell with this one. As a fan of his I gotta say, you were right. The man needs a leash otherwise it just turns into stylized non sense.

[@darianartman]

I think a better idea would be this: the people that Kora gathers to fight the Motherworld were once part of her elite squad, all of whom went into hiding after it was discovered that they did not complete a mission that went against Kora’s beliefs. Now that she is flushed out of hiding, Kora and Gunner have to recruit and save her old team before Admiral Noble finds them all and wipes them out. It’s not the best idea, but this is something that I think would have worked better.

[@SteveEdwardCooper]

That is a much better idea than what the actual movie gave us.

The extended editions of the Lord of the Rings Trilogy are great, but they benefit from the fact that the theatrical versions are actually good. Ridley Scott's films also tend to get director's cuts, but he actually knows how to tell a focused story and narrative. And his director's cuts sometimes actually fix his films and are, in fact, superior (Kingdom of Heaven and Blade Runner, for example). Zack Snyder need to learn the basics of cinematic storytelling first (or have a writer and producer guide him) before he keeps going all in with releasing director's cuts to nearly every single one of his movies.

Kingdom of Heaven's theatrical cut was utter crap, though; it was the movie, minus all the talky, "boring" parts that actually told a story.

(there's a lot of us yelling about 'oh damn it was horrible' and then it is either condemned to 'never see again, director must sit in chair for two-plus hours doing nothing, because that's what happened to us while we watched this.' or 'So Bad it was great.') And I assure you, your review is spot on to any of us (writers, producers, VFX artists, script 'doctors', I think we have a couple Oscar winners, definitely multiple Emmy winners) going off like Krakatoa over (insert title of object of rant) We sort of live for this. But when it drags down the general public, which they all do, (and I personally apologize to you, although I do not work on scripted features.) THIS is what happens, and I am so sorry. Just know that when it happens, we all go down on the ship with you, and are equally incensed and foully loquacious in our righteous rants of Badness. (Send up Bad Movie flare.) Your review is spectacular, I loved it, I understood every single thing you fabulously flipped out over ... because ... it was like listening to me and favorite producer losing our minds over, "Holy Cr*p, this was a master class of Bad! And yes, (!) damn, because I've seen him make great films and NOBODY should have to go through what happened to him IRL," Based on your review of "Badness on a scale worthy of a DeMille Epic" I will now see this, (also due to your set up and I immediately said, 'This is the 'Dirty Dozen' -- which is also 'Rogue One',((It was also 'Where Eagles Dare' and 'Kelly's Heroes', but that thing kicked ass.)). Thank you for this great "I cannot believe you DID this to us, how dare you!" vitriolic venting, it was magnificent and I assure you it happens in little production offices hiding all over town. Conversely, when some film shows up that's great, we don't shut up about that either and order everyone to go see it immediately. (Your mileage may vary on this one). I loved this..

[@LukasJampen]

Zack Snyder is all about visuals and slapping you in the face with "symbolism" so obvious even a blind person can't miss it. Story wise he seems to have no idea what he is doing and everybody claiming otherwise are just lying to themselves. Give him a competent writer that has a good idea and let him make it look fantastic and that can work. Let him write and it will be the most generic shit trying to look smart. He has talent (even if his tool set seems limited to slowmo most of the time) but he has a specific talent and isn't somebody who can do everything. And this proves it, it is the most generic concepts we've seen plenty of times way better. It also feels like the first half of the ocean franchise without the heist but less interesting. The evil Empire is also done to death and not original in any way. How about the empire being the good guys or even more out there it being neither good nor bad but shades of gray? Empires historically rarely were evil tyranical dictatorships but normal countries/governments like many others. Every idea in this movie feels like the most boring and least fleshed out, worst idea you could imagine. It's not even funny bad but mostly boring bad. It's even weirder how many hardcore defenders he has. Has he made good movies? Yeah a few but be honest most of his movies aren't actually good. They look nice but if you even scratch the surface you'll notice they are really really flawed (even the snyder cuts). Also why does he always make a supposedly good movie but the released version is supposedly so much worse. Why would anybody do that instead of releasing the good version?

So it's basically the a-team if the team had 80 members and all of them had to be squeezed into the 2 hour pilot

Damn, I actually kinda liked Sucker Punch. Dont judge me.

[@nelsonguerrero1952]

Same here! I still have my copy of the extended cut of Sucker Punch (2011) and i'm excited to see Rebel Moon: A Child of Fire - Part 1 (2023). Despite nealry EVERYONE ripping it to shreds.

Thrash

[@catburglar82]

I for one won't. I dig that movie too. I think people expect Snyder to be way deeper than he actually is. Didn't dislike Rebel Moon either because I didn't expect Shakespeare. It was fine for what it was. There's way worse trash out there than Snyder's movies.

We all have our guilty pleasures.

Merry Christmas to you too

[@mariogiovanelli9610]

your review makes watching paint dry a essay about time travel

[@spiralofhope]

Well at least you got the Magnificent Seven parallel. I reached for Seven Samurai, which only one outlet (so far) has caught.

[@erroneous6947]

It reminded me of battle beyond the stars by Roger Coreman.

[@Drak976]

No you don't understand Thorias Snyder wouldn't let Snyder make the Snyder movie he wanted so he has to Snyder Cut the ruination that is Snyder's movie to make his proper real Snyder movie.

I legit had the unpleasure of putting myself through it again because I thought I was “too” high the first time I saw it, and naw… it’s legitimately terrible. And it’s disappointing because I was looking forward to this..

[@Dan_theSandwichman]

I had the same experience with The Last Jedi.

[@CEWIII9873]

"unpleasure" HA!

[@siegeperilous5786]

Merry Christmas dude.

[@randyjohnson5426]

I waiting for your Aquaman review...i love your rants!!
