Also this is a minor gripe, but we saw that Tarak came from a British-styled victorian-esque world. Which made his choice of weaponry and clothing even more confusing. This guy comes from a world that doesn't look overly warm, and no-one else in Veldt feels like it's so warm that they need to wear less clothing. Why is he shirtless almost all of the time?!
@@lost_pantheon Yeah, that annoyed me too. Tarak feels like a Tarzan/Conan type character. When it was revealed that he was a Prince, I was expecting him to come from a jungle planet or something. I was actually taken aback with how modern his world was. The griffins flying around attacking the ships really contrasted with it too. If Tarak's kingdom was supposed to be similar to Wakanda, it sure didn't seem that way. Maybe Tarak's appearance is supposed to show that he's been on the run so long that he's had to learn how to use primitive weapons and survive in the wilderness, but that's never shown or explained. Also, Tarak's supposed to have "the ability to bond with animals of nature," but outside of that one scene in the first movie, we NEVER see him do it. He didn't even do it in the big battle they were all planning for. That would've been a big help, don't you think?
43:08 The villagers clearly have the same population-replenishing powers as the Dothraki from Game of Thrones S8. Whenever the plot needs more of them, they just cut a few in half and the halves become individuals.
Random Film Talk brought up an amazing point. The presence of her dropship completely violates the first movie. It's not just "hey its lucky it only needed to remove some straw from its ports" it's "Why did they go get Kai and endure the whole first movie if they had a spaceship that could travel to the colloseum planet where general titus is?"
I got a better plan. Everyone hides underground somewhere away from their village but just leave a note saying like: Sorry, we have moved to a different planet, please forward all mail to Alpha Centari X11B
Thats what I said to my family when she hid the shuttle ship in the waterfall. She could have hid the whole village right there with the water hiding their thermal readings
300 Is fun but not a good movie technically. Watchmen is phenomenal and I really wonder how much influence he had on the writing because it doesn’t feel like a Snyder film outside of style. All his other movies are baaaad.
I just like how OJ freaked out about her giving herself a fade with scissors. I haven’t seen the movie, but it seems like Mr. Snyder has faith that the people watching don’t have critical thinking skills.
Zack wants emotional scenes with characters we dont connect with or dont care. There is no chemistry between the team either. Samurai lady died and im like,what did she actually do in the overall plot? Wasnt she this legendary assassin?
don’t you think if they had the technology to open portals…they would have high yield gmo crops growing on board the ship..eliminating the need to worry about finding food
I can believe that, since technology doesn't necessarily advances at the same rate in all areas, SW is an example in this...but why they need food if they can just open wormholes for instant travel?
@@rodrigobogado8756 I can't believe it personally. Just dumb. WE have access to gmos and can grow plants in space, if they don't have an accelerator for crops or even any crops at all on their gigantic space ship that travels faster than light, my suspension of disbelief is broken. Yeah, usually it's military shit that grows technologically the most, but in order to grow an army so large, there is no way you are just going from village to village for grain and you would need technology that helps with necessities. I don't believe it. If we want to be really realistic for something in a star wars era fictional world, they would have algae and krill farms which would then be used in futuristic food printers that can make anything you want.
i feel ashamed defending this good for nothing clown in the past, snyder is only good at "directing" and even then i've only ever liked a few of his films, watchmen, 300 and MOS.... when you give him too much creative control, you get absolute trash like rebel moon, unwatchable in everyway. so glad he got booted from DCU some of his idiotic plans like batman getting lois knocked up etc... what a tool
This reminds me ranting about Aaron, comparing him with Alan Wake (the actor looks identical, Aaron is the bad version), the guy went from hero to villain so quickly
"All hype" yet Rodgers will be in the Hall of Fame after he retires. Sure, he only won one Super Bowl but that's still 1 more than 95% of QBs in the league and he was consistently a great QB during his time at Green Bay. Guy's definitely a bit of a drama-queen, but he's been a damn good QB.
So anyone wanna explain to me why an empire that encompasses thousands of worlds needs this bit of grain so badly? No other worlds they could do it on? Or no way to set up a farm next door?
It could be justifiable if it was actually set up in the film somewhere. Have the ship still take years to get anywhere, have them lose their food supply in a fight. Establish that they are such a cult that the soldiers have no idea how to do anything but maintain their weapons. So all the food replicators broke and no one knows how to fix them. Technology can be lost if the next generation never learns how to maintain that technology. But for a movie to feel coherent these thigs have to actually be shown in the film. If there's no plot involving food then the movie doesn't need to explain it. But the entire justification for the tension and plot of the movie is that they apparently need food, and it's never established properly why they need food.
The idea of plundering a village for food and supplies makes sense in Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven because they were set in a low tech era. The conceit of a hi-tech galaxy spanning empire needing wheat is stupid at a fundamental level; these aren’t opportunistic bandits, they are the rulers of the universe.
Your assessments are spot on. The only thing you missed was during the blowing up of the engine scene, where the engine inexplicably has a face, and as Kora is placing the mines its eyes open up. What the hell was that for, why did the engine need a face?
The novelization mentions the dreadnoughts have some godlike beings enslaved in them to power them or something... along with the coal engines I guess...
Not sure if anyone on the Angry joe crew reads these comments but i think Joes idea of recording reaction/commentary like RLM would go over really well. You could post highlights at the end of a spoiler vid or just intercut the best parts. Really needs to stay genuine so you'd have to be up for recording entire sessions and throwing them away if there just wasnt worth it, but i think i speak for everyone when i say I wish I heard Other Joes jokes lol Hope you guys try it.
Feels like most films these days are just elaborate money laundering schemes. Why else would they remake/reboot so many films that nobody even asked for?
Normally i have no problem turning my brain off and just enjoy a movie/series. But MAN, every scene in this film had me saying: WTF!? Oh come on!! And i actually turned it off before the end, i couldn't take it anymore...
What exactly would be a good example of a movie/series to shut your brain off? I usually imagine those are more visual movies like Fantasia. Not movies with dialogue. But some action movies you don’t really need to follow the plot to understand. Which isn’t bad. But movies where you sit on autopilot is kinda weird to me.
Nobody is addressing the scene when Kora activates the bombs on the ship and suddenly those blue eyes are looking at her? What the hell was that about? Is the ship alive? I was so confused.
I like when the coal powered spacecraft that’s not in motion falls out of the sky like a ship sinks in water. Didn’t understand why it falls vertically other than to force the falling fight inside the ship.
Rebel Moon is a worst version of what Dune did. They had world building first movies(Dune was better but didnt really get me hyped for dune 2) yet Dune capitalized on its first movie world building and knocked it out the park with 2nd movie
No he’s not Kaythleen Kennedy because he pitched that shit to her FIRST and she refused him. This has to be some Netflix tax fraud or money lauder machine because I honestly dont know who tf in Netflix read that script and greenlighted it 😂
My question is, why are we supposed to wait for the directors cut EVERY single time? You don’t see Spielberg or Nolan tripping over themselves during interviews, promising how awesome the directors cut will be if we wait. With Zack, people say it’s never his fault if the movie doesn’t turn out well. It’s always the studios fault. But can we really blame Warner Bros or Netflix EVERY single time? Whatever his next film will be, I’m sure we’ll see the same song and dance. It’ll release to mixed reviews, but then he’ll explain to us how it wasn’t his true vision. And we need to wait for the R-rated Directors cut. Again. It’s almost a formula now.
@@jakey14344 agree like I used to like Zack 300 it my favorite movie but after find out what he want to do in the DCU bro can't write to save his life like he need someone to put him down like someone tell him that a terrible idea
I just wish people would ask “What exactly was cut that would make the story better? How would an R rating change the opinions of those who disliked the story and visuals?” Gore aside, how does changing the rating help a movie like this? If it was a gory horror movie, of course. That’s the meat and potatoes for most horror movies. But action movies don’t need an abundance of gore, swearing, and nudity.
Would just like to point out cuz I heard Joe mention headshots, in actual military training you are taught to aim at chests. You have limited ammo and need to aim for the biggest area on your target. Logic that make perfect sense for farmers having to learn fast. This movie couldnt even do that right
I don’t own a firearm, but I’m pretty sure in basic gun defense you’re taught to aim for “center-mass” aka the chest, you don’t even need to have military training to know that
"Oh no! That guy!" I said that exact same thing at that scene!! lmao Also, didn't this random 12th century village just declare war on an intergalactic empire?? What exactly is stopping another dreadnought (or three) that don't "need" their grain, from blasting them from orbit?? Like, what?
It's so strange to watch them purposefully show all these laser shots missing characters over and over, troops but when the tank opens fire it shoots one area in the town where no one is standing. Repeatedly. SO frustrating
The whole grain harvest and preparing for defence reminds me a heck of a lot of Bugs Life in where they had to prepare a harvest for the bad guys but secretly preparing a defence in secret. .
A Bug’s Life is basically an insect-based remake of Seven Samurai, which is basically what Zack Snyder was ripping off for Rebel Moon. (Also Star Wars, Warhammer 40K and a little dash of Shakespeare.)
I knew this would be hilarious to check out immediately after watching the movie! You left out my favorite critique about the dreadnought design though which was not only does it run on coal, but the bridge can't control the main batteries. The bridge has to call to the main guns who then have to HAND CRANK the gun into position... like wtf
I think Zack was trying to ape the Imperium of Man from 40ks technological style, which is both highly advanced compared to our modern day tech but backwards in its implementation. Such as the cannons on ships being manually loaded by crews of like a hundred dudes loading these massive shells in and people getting crushed all the time and stuff.
This movie was so boring. Zach Snyder is the most MID director in the industry. Entire movie was literally a defense mission in a game. -Welcome to our village -Enemy will be here in 5 days -We must prepare -Fight -Princess is still alive -End Thats the movie. That is the ENTIRE movie. He took what would have been the climax of a movie and made it an ENTIRE movie. The direct precursor of the climax and the climax. Entire movie. Act 1: Setting the stage. The environment, feel and tone of the movie. Act 2: Stuff starts getting serious. Things are moving. Towards the end starts building for the climax or sets the stage for the buildup to the climax. Act 3: Climax. End with or without cliffhanger. This movie is literally just 5 minutes of Act 1…and the rest is a mid Act 3. I’m sure Snyder will come out and say “I have a 32 hour cut for part 2 that explains this a lot better.” STOP GIVING HIM MONEY!!! HE DOES NOT DESERVE IT. HIS MOVIES ARE BORING. HIS ABILITY TO WRITE A STORY IS TERRIBLE. UNORIGINAL. And every single action piece is just long for no reason. I’m a badass dual wielding lightsaber woman…filled with rage and hate…struggles and dies to like 4 normal soldiers. I’m sorry…3 normal soldiers and 1 soldier who can bench 300lbs. I struggled to stay awake. I was upset I wasted time on my Sunday watching it. I could have done other things. Cleaned, played Elden Ring…I would have preferred playing Warzone in a shadow ban lobby. If I ever meet Zach Snyder I swear I am telling him to stop making movies. You’re ok with graphics, explosions, and slow mo SOMETIMES…go do that. Be a member if the special FX team. Stop directing. Stop writing scripts. I put him on the same level as M. Night Shamalasgahah…but at least with M. Night, the absurdity of his movies give you something to laugh about.
I came from the future to report on the Director’s Cut. It’s still not good, they try to trick you with a new opening, and by the time it takes you to realize none of the changes matter that much, it’s too late and you might as well finish it.
This movie: +1 point for having moving pictures in it +1 point for having sounds in it -1 point for coal fuelled battle ship -1 point for bag head band playing background music for murdering the royals Final score: 2/10 It's like a 5 years old made it for the kindergarten buddies.
I didn't think anyone batch of baddies could be stupider and worse shots than Stormtroopers, but here we are. I've rarely seen a space-faring empire who had a worse grasp of battlefield tactics. What's the point of having projectile weapons just so they can march into melee range? They could have just picked off the whole village from the higher hills surrounding it.
With their aim they would have hit the precious grain - not an option to shoot from the hills. Melee range it is and only plasma weapons that cant deal with wooden structures; thats the responsible way in arming and fighting with that kind of soldiers.
Me: *having this on as background noise even though I'll never watch these movies* AJ: The gaze is coming! The gaze is right around the corner. We mustn't fight the gaze!

The sword lady, Nemesis had no business dying to three troopers (- ^ ) That's the most disappointing thing about this movie for me since it was so left-field from what we saw of her skills in part 1.
Really? You were really invest even in the first movie? I watched this movie only to hear Angryjoe's trash it. And I couldn't even finish it. After 1h it was enough
@@jeanpierregabiro1424 No, part one was quite disappointing but the spider-lady fight was its highlight. I'm just pointing to how underwhelming and ridiculous it was to kill off a character that was shown to be very capable.
I would bet you she wanted to get out of contract when she realized that Zack is incoherent lunatic. Same with Charlie Dunnam in part 1. They are not stupid , they have to say these lines and ask director question like “who the fck talks like that?”
Don’t always agree with Alex but damn I love watching these three break down a bad movie like this. Y’all are way more entertaining than a lot of these movies
Also guys... you didn't mention it but remember the scene when she is planting the bombs on the core of the ship.

They could have fixed that tunnel rat part by having one of the heroes say, 'We have these old tunnels under the village from qa previous war', but Snyder doesn't know how to make exposition, so no. They're just there.

Had great time watching this review, haven't watched a single minute of Rebel Moon but every minute of these reviews
It's two types of people in this world.
1. Those who are snyder fans
2. Those with functioning brain matter
Lol
I wonder how the people who enjoy these movies brain functions lol
Let's face it, Snyder panders to the IQ
I only enjoy MoS, 300, watchmen and JL snyder cut (even idk its from DC when i watched watchmen) the rest of his movies are pure garbo imo
300 Is fun but not a good movie technically. Watchmen is phenomenal and I really wonder how much influence he had on the writing because it doesn’t feel like a Snyder film outside of style. All his other movies are baaaad.
I live how they went with the whole...."Haircut means I'm ready for business" trope. For her to back down at the first sign of trouble.
I just like how OJ freaked out about her giving herself a fade with scissors.
I haven’t seen the movie, but it seems like Mr. Snyder has faith that the people watching don’t have critical thinking skills.
Zack wants emotional scenes with characters we dont connect with or dont care. There is no chemistry between the team either. Samurai lady died and im like,what did she actually do in the overall plot? Wasnt she this legendary assassin?
I felt that in the first scenes of the first film. Woman ploughing for space eggs. Epic music plays. Who are you...
i really hope he will finish that trilogy cuz this recap was fucking hilarious
"dollar store furiosa." 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
don’t you think if they had the technology to open portals…they would have high yield gmo crops growing on board the ship..eliminating the need to worry about finding food
Nah they need a load of grain hand farmed by peasants. There's no machine farms or anything with all their technology.
@@Darkpara1 Don't forget their coal powered dreadnoughts
I can believe that, since technology doesn't necessarily advances at the same rate in all areas, SW is an example in this...but why they need food if they can just open wormholes for instant travel?
@@Darkpara1Don’t forget about the floating cart that they were putting the grain on. And the guy using horse reins for the cart
@@rodrigobogado8756 I can't believe it personally. Just dumb. WE have access to gmos and can grow plants in space, if they don't have an accelerator for crops or even any crops at all on their gigantic space ship that travels faster than light, my suspension of disbelief is broken. Yeah, usually it's military shit that grows technologically the most, but in order to grow an army so large, there is no way you are just going from village to village for grain and you would need technology that helps with necessities. I don't believe it. If we want to be really realistic for something in a star wars era fictional world, they would have algae and krill farms which would then be used in futuristic food printers that can make anything you want.
i feel ashamed defending this good for nothing clown in the past, snyder is only good at "directing" and even then i've only ever liked a few of his films, watchmen, 300 and MOS.... when you give him too much creative control, you get absolute trash like rebel moon, unwatchable in everyway. so glad he got booted from DCU some of his idiotic plans like batman getting lois knocked up etc... what a tool
I would say he's terrible at directing too. All of his best received films are overtly based on existing stories.
Wait wait wait... he wanted Batman to do WHAT??
@@YoungMrKusuma Part of his scrapped plans.
@@YoungMrKusumaNTR superman, and might even let Batman get graped in prison. That's Snyder for you😂.
Thenn name the kid martha💀
Zach Snyder is the Aaron Rodger’s of directors. All hype, only one really good movie, and crumbles when you give him everything he wants.
Damn 😂
Hey, Aaron actually delivers!
Very few can throw 80 yards and make touchdowns!
Snyder should have quit after 300
This reminds me ranting about Aaron, comparing him with Alan Wake (the actor looks identical, Aaron is the bad version), the guy went from hero to villain so quickly
Watchmen, Sucker Punch, and Man Of Steel are the only movies I liked from him.
Everything else has been meh asf
"All hype" yet Rodgers will be in the Hall of Fame after he retires. Sure, he only won one Super Bowl but that's still 1 more than 95% of QBs in the league and he was consistently a great QB during his time at Green Bay. Guy's definitely a bit of a drama-queen, but he's been a damn good QB.
the sword lady got murked by like 5 dudes even though she had the chokepoint lmao, she would've done better with a suicide vest
Its actually pure pure genius zack goes outside the movie as he is the scar giver to the audience bravo 👏👏
So anyone wanna explain to me why an empire that encompasses thousands of worlds needs this bit of grain so badly? No other worlds they could do it on? Or no way to set up a farm next door?
Despite having tech that can resurrect the dead, they apparently never heard of hydroponics.
It could be justifiable if it was actually set up in the film somewhere. Have the ship still take years to get anywhere, have them lose their food supply in a fight. Establish that they are such a cult that the soldiers have no idea how to do anything but maintain their weapons. So all the food replicators broke and no one knows how to fix them. Technology can be lost if the next generation never learns how to maintain that technology. But for a movie to feel coherent these thigs have to actually be shown in the film. If there's no plot involving food then the movie doesn't need to explain it. But the entire justification for the tension and plot of the movie is that they apparently need food, and it's never established properly why they need food.
You can't even have an empire that big without logistics. Like seriously, the mother world can't just send a convoy of supply ships?
The idea of plundering a village for food and supplies makes sense in Seven Samurai and The Magnificent Seven because they were set in a low tech era. The conceit of a hi-tech galaxy spanning empire needing wheat is stupid at a fundamental level; these aren’t opportunistic bandits, they are the rulers of the universe.
Not to mention we saw a city on the planet in the first one, so it's not like this little village is even the only population on the planet.
Your assessments are spot on. The only thing you missed was during the blowing up of the engine scene, where the engine inexplicably has a face, and as Kora is placing the mines its eyes open up. What the hell was that for, why did the engine need a face?
Because Snyder thought it looked cool
I honestly thought it was going to be like a robot man or something they had to fight. But yeah, I totally forgot it had a face.
The novelization mentions the dreadnoughts have some godlike beings enslaved in them to power them or something... along with the coal engines I guess...
Not sure if anyone on the Angry joe crew reads these comments but i think Joes idea of recording reaction/commentary like RLM would go over really well. You could post highlights at the end of a spoiler vid or just intercut the best parts.
Really needs to stay genuine so you'd have to be up for recording entire sessions and throwing them away if there just wasnt worth it, but i think i speak for everyone when i say I wish I heard Other Joes jokes lol
Hope you guys try it.
Yes, they got me interested in Oj's snarky remarks about the stupidity of the movies. I want to hear that, it sounds hilarious.
My big question would be "Was this, in fact, a half billion dollar effort?". It honestly feels like some sort of scam.
Feels like most films these days are just elaborate money laundering schemes.
Why else would they remake/reboot so many films that nobody even asked for?
Netflix got scammed
If you want to make yourself angry, think how many "they cancelled it?!" series' they could have kept going with that much money.
I’m way more intrested in seeing him try to defend this then actually watching the movie 😂😂😂😂
They gave this man the DCU absolutely mind blowing 😂😂😂😂
Normally i have no problem turning my brain off and just enjoy a movie/series. But MAN, every scene in this film had me saying: WTF!? Oh come on!! And i actually turned it off before the end, i couldn't take it anymore...
There's a big difference between a movie needing you to switch your brain off and one that requires you to starve it of oxygen.
I can only turn off my brain for movies that make it obvious to not take it seriously.
The problem is that Zack doesn't think he makes "turn your brain off" material, he thinks his work is meaningful and serious.
What exactly would be a good example of a movie/series to shut your brain off?
I usually imagine those are more visual movies like Fantasia. Not movies with dialogue.
But some action movies you don’t really need to follow the plot to understand. Which isn’t bad. But movies where you sit on autopilot is kinda weird to me.
Nobody is addressing the scene when Kora activates the bombs on the ship and suddenly those blue eyes are looking at her?
What the hell was that about? Is the ship alive? I was so confused.
Yes they werent shovelling coal into it they were shovelling chocolate in it to feed it
They’re called kali, inter dimensional god-like beings enslaved by the Motherworld and used for hyper space travel.
@@fulcrum6760 They can do that but not grow some grain ?

@@antarchy1 It defiantly has a beginning and an end.
@@antarchy1the poop is the plot.
@@prathapkutty7407 Ahh, I was just making a grammar joke. But poop definitely has more substance than a Snyder flick.
@@prathapkutty7407 Probably would make for a more compelling movie than Revel Moon part 1 or part 2.
I like when the coal powered spacecraft that’s not in motion falls out of the sky like a ship sinks in water. Didn’t understand why it falls vertically other than to force the falling fight inside the ship.
Yeah if it was tilting then it would flip over end to end and stuff
Rebel Moon is a worst version of what Dune did. They had world building first movies(Dune was better but didnt really get me hyped for dune 2) yet Dune capitalized on its first movie world building and knocked it out the park with 2nd movie
I fell asleep in Dune 2.
You have to hevin the right mindset @@SlyTF1
@@SlyTF1 My fiance fell asleep watching it too so we had to watch it a second time so he could see the parts he missed.
‘Rebel Moon’ is when you order ‘Dune’ from Wish…
I think Dune 2 fell far short of what the predecessor was trying to build up to. It was at best alright and at worst slightly mediocre.
Let's face it, Snyder panders to the IQ
No he’s not Kaythleen Kennedy because he pitched that shit to her FIRST and she refused him. This has to be some Netflix tax fraud or money lauder machine because I honestly dont know who tf in Netflix read that script and greenlighted it 😂
Yet, it was Kathleen Kennedy who shelved his project. Need I remind you she’s also the same producer who allowed Tony Gilroy to make ‘Andor’…
My question is, why are we supposed to wait for the directors cut EVERY single time? You don’t see Spielberg or Nolan tripping over themselves during interviews, promising how awesome the directors cut will be if we wait. With Zack, people say it’s never his fault if the movie doesn’t turn out well. It’s always the studios fault. But can we really blame Warner Bros or Netflix EVERY single time? Whatever his next film will be, I’m sure we’ll see the same song and dance. It’ll release to mixed reviews, but then he’ll explain to us how it wasn’t his true vision. And we need to wait for the R-rated Directors cut. Again. It’s almost a formula now.
Because he's a certified conman
Zack wanted to be like Ridley Scott. At least, Scott's best movies were better than Snyder's except for Dawn of the Dead since James Gunn wrote it.
@@jakey14344 agree like I used to like Zack 300 it my favorite movie but after find out what he want to do in the DCU bro can't write to save his life like he need someone to put him down like someone tell him that a terrible idea
I just wish people would ask “What exactly was cut that would make the story better? How would an R rating change the opinions of those who disliked the story and visuals?” Gore aside, how does changing the rating help a movie like this?
If it was a gory horror movie, of course. That’s the meat and potatoes for most horror movies. But action movies don’t need an abundance of gore, swearing, and nudity.
And meanwhile Villeneuve refuses to do extended editions of his films ☹️
Would just like to point out cuz I heard Joe mention headshots, in actual military training you are taught to aim at chests. You have limited ammo and need to aim for the biggest area on your target. Logic that make perfect sense for farmers having to learn fast. This movie couldnt even do that right
I don’t own a firearm, but I’m pretty sure in basic gun defense you’re taught to aim for “center-mass” aka the chest, you don’t even need to have military training to know that
"Oh no! That guy!" I said that exact same thing at that scene!! lmao
Also, didn't this random 12th century village just declare war on an intergalactic empire?? What exactly is stopping another dreadnought (or three) that don't "need" their grain, from blasting them from orbit?? Like, what?
10 mins of slowmotion of them harvesting crops...
When the private kisses the farm girl and she gives him a hug, basically saying “let’s just be friends”, I couldn’t stop laughing. 😂
20:10 Pretentious. You call it pretentious. This series oozes it.
It's so strange to watch them purposefully show all these laser shots missing characters over and over, troops but when the tank opens fire it shoots one area in the town where no one is standing. Repeatedly. SO frustrating
The whole grain harvest and preparing for defence reminds me a heck of a lot of Bugs Life in where they had to prepare a harvest for the bad guys but secretly preparing a defence in secret. .
A Bug’s Life is basically an insect-based remake of Seven Samurai, which is basically what Zack Snyder was ripping off for Rebel Moon. (Also Star Wars, Warhammer 40K and a little dash of Shakespeare.)
sucked when the "Hugh Jackman" looking guy fell to his death....seemed pointless. I liked that guy.
I litterally fast forwarded the movie until something intersesting happened.
So you fast forwarded through the entire thing?
@@nocturnalpie Almost. Definitely forwarded to most of the first half.😅
It’s crazy how much Zach Snyder gets credit for being a good director but really has like 10 percent good ones and 90 percent flops
Netflix: Zack what do you need to make the next StarWars style movie?!
Zack: Weat and lots of slow motion!
You missed the scene when wounded Gunnar slides past Kora saying " help me, help me " and she ignores him.
11:34 "Just because you give a rousing speech doesn't make the shit grow any faster, what are you talking about?" Shit had me rolling 😂
I knew this would be hilarious to check out immediately after watching the movie! You left out my favorite critique about the dreadnought design though which was not only does it run on coal, but the bridge can't control the main batteries. The bridge has to call to the main guns who then have to HAND CRANK the gun into position... like wtf
Assuming he's just co-opting George Lucas's WW1/WW2 imagery like in Star Wars.
I think Zack was trying to ape the Imperium of Man from 40ks technological style, which is both highly advanced compared to our modern day tech but backwards in its implementation. Such as the cannons on ships being manually loaded by crews of like a hundred dudes loading these massive shells in and people getting crushed all the time and stuff.
Did Snyder write this himself during the writers strike? "If they won't write it, I WILL!"😂😂💀💀
This movie was so boring. Zach Snyder is the most MID director in the industry. Entire movie was literally a defense mission in a game.
-Welcome to our village
-Enemy will be here in 5 days
-We must prepare
-Fight
-Princess is still alive
-End
Thats the movie. That is the ENTIRE movie. He took what would have been the climax of a movie and made it an ENTIRE movie. The direct precursor of the climax and the climax. Entire movie.
Act 1: Setting the stage. The environment, feel and tone of the movie.
Act 2: Stuff starts getting serious. Things are moving. Towards the end starts building for the climax or sets the stage for the buildup to the climax.
Act 3: Climax. End with or without cliffhanger.
This movie is literally just 5 minutes of Act 1…and the rest is a mid Act 3.
I’m sure Snyder will come out and say “I have a 32 hour cut for part 2 that explains this a lot better.”
STOP GIVING HIM MONEY!!! HE DOES NOT DESERVE IT. HIS MOVIES ARE BORING. HIS ABILITY TO WRITE A STORY IS TERRIBLE. UNORIGINAL.
And every single action piece is just long for no reason. I’m a badass dual wielding lightsaber woman…filled with rage and hate…struggles and dies to like 4 normal soldiers. I’m sorry…3 normal soldiers and 1 soldier who can bench 300lbs.
I struggled to stay awake. I was upset I wasted time on my Sunday watching it. I could have done other things. Cleaned, played Elden Ring…I would have preferred playing Warzone in a shadow ban lobby. If I ever meet Zach Snyder I swear I am telling him to stop making movies. You’re ok with graphics, explosions, and slow mo SOMETIMES…go do that. Be a member if the special FX team. Stop directing. Stop writing scripts.
I put him on the same level as M. Night Shamalasgahah…but at least with M. Night, the absurdity of his movies give you something to laugh about.
"So effing re....stupid" hahahahaha 14:45
Almost got 'em!
I came from the future to report on the Director’s Cut.
It’s still not good, they try to trick you with a new opening, and by the time it takes you to realize none of the changes matter that much, it’s too late and you might as well finish it.
I can explain why the villagers were all REALLY good fighters they were decendents of Fremen and Lisen Al Gieb
This movie:
+1 point for having moving pictures in it
+1 point for having sounds in it
-1 point for coal fuelled battle ship
-1 point for bag head band playing background music for murdering the royals
Final score: 2/10
It's like a 5 years old made it for the kindergarten buddies.
isnt that a zero? im bad at math, but, +1+1-1-1 its 0.
@@mrcllz yes, it is😄
I didn't think anyone batch of baddies could be stupider and worse shots than Stormtroopers, but here we are. I've rarely seen a space-faring empire who had a worse grasp of battlefield tactics. What's the point of having projectile weapons just so they can march into melee range? They could have just picked off the whole village from the higher hills surrounding it.
With their aim they would have hit the precious grain - not an option to shoot from the hills. Melee range it is and only plasma weapons that cant deal with wooden structures; thats the responsible way in arming and fighting with that kind of soldiers.
Snipers have existed since the Stone Age with bows and rocks

The sword lady, Nemesis had no business dying to three troopers (- ^ ) That's the most disappointing thing about this movie for me since it was so left-field from what we saw of her skills in part 1.
Skills? Skills?! The only reason the heroes didn’t absolutely get recked is because of PLOT armor.

@@jeanpierregabiro1424 No, part one was quite disappointing but the spider-lady fight was its highlight. I'm just pointing to how underwhelming and ridiculous it was to kill off a character that was shown to be very capable.
I would bet you she wanted to get out of contract when she realized that Zack is incoherent lunatic. Same with Charlie Dunnam in part 1. They are not stupid , they have to say these lines and ask director question like “who the fck talks like that?”
The first movie sucked so bad, she was like please kill me off, I'm done with this series!
Zack Snyder is Zoolander of directing.
Completely devoid of intelligence and just lucked his way through 300
His scripts are like 8 year old logic

Expecting Zack Snyder to have coherent and consistant rules to his universe is novel and baffling concept, considering his track record.
This was better then the whole movie. My favorite is Alex with his hands over his face over the stupidity of what he was forced to watch
At this point, I'm hoping it takes a turn into "Fast and the Furious" territory where it just keeps getting bigger and dumber until it collapses under its own weight and comes back better than ever....
Pretty sure it started at Fast and Furious 30 ... Beyond dumb
Nah, it’s the Monsterverse’s polar opposite.
This is the most entertaining 1 hour spoiler review I have ever seen, and I havent even seen the movie
You better not be 😂
There's overdramatic, and then there's melodramatic. Snyder does both.
They can traverse the stars yet desperately need people to use manual labor to make wheat.
And stoke the fire in the dreadnaught
40 minutes in, I’m thinking how much slow motion farming are we going to have to see.
They could have fixed that tunnel rat part by having one of the heroes say, 'We have these old tunnels under the village from qa previous war', but Snyder doesn't know how to make exposition, so no. They're just there.
So the million dollar question now is, was the battle scene in this better than the one at the end of Fallout?
