Rebel Moon - Part Two: The Scargiver Review of the first half of the movie. Part 2 of Rebel Moon happily doubles down on all of Zack Snyder's problems from the first Netflix Rebel Moon. Calling for a Zack Snyder directors cut wont save this movie, what more could you add? More slow motion harvesting scenes? The characterisation in Rebel Moon part 2 is still virtually none existent, the plot is "lets make some grain then have a fight", and the camera work includes BROKEN equipment for "art". With so much to talk about this review has been split into 2 halves, with the final hour of the fight coming next. But despite the first half just being set up, it's amazingly nonsensical by itself. But what did you think? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
It's crazy to me that spaceships in the 70s', that were literal toys projected to look bigger by manipulating angles, looked better than the millions of dollars Snyder used on CGI for these movies.
Hey, that's up to the 90s, Starship Troopers was still using physical props. Also not exactly toys, some of those things were enormous (main _Rodger Young_ model was 18 feet long and the main Star Destroyer was something like seven).
Wym. These spaceships look really good. Even better than the 90s. It just looks like something aliens would use. The CGI is good, it’s just the story that’s bad. Predictable too. Even the sword looks cool. Like what Jedi’s used to use before they started using light sabers.
I think it's a mix of physical limitations, meaning that you can't pull unrealistic shit that much, and that using physical props actually requires proper scene planning. No 'ah, the CGI artists can change it later'. It's been my schizo theory why films which are shot on scene (like LOTR in the middle of NZ bumfuck nowhere) tend to be better, because travelling and logistics are expensive, and you can't just willy-nilly reshoot stuff so easily. Forces writers and directors to have their shit together. Again, just my schizo theory, I'm aware there are bad movies who are shot on scene and using physical props.
@@givmi_more_w9251 You're absolutely on the money about proper planning. I'm thinking about movies like The Proposition which is an Australian western that's absolutely stunning and they use natural lighting and sunsets/sunrises perfectly, or Hateful Eight where shoots were dependent on the right kind of Colorado weather. Even with movies like The Batman where the rain is added using CGI in post, there has to be a certain level of competence there in the first place for a director with some semblance of self respect to say "ah yes, this looks good enough that we can do that!"
The villain bringing violinists to provide a soundtrack for his betrayal is probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen Zack watched the red wedding but didn't understand how it worked
@@jeffreyspinner5437 Fun english fact, "corn" was for a time a general term for grain, while "maize" was specifically what we call "corn" today. Even in some other english-speaking countries, corn is still referred to as maize.
"I've written half of the movies I've made." Maybe if he tried writing entire movies instead of half movies there would be better character development and he wouldn't need to pad things out with slowmo all the time.
@@peterkrochmalni673I was gonna say the same thing. With previous works, pre DC, he had others to work on. Both 300 and Watchmen were comics and he had that guy from Guardians of the Galaxy working on the script for Dawn of the Dead. Like Lucas, he needs people to keep his bad impulses in check. A scene I remember is in Dawn of the Dead, he slo mo'd a scene of a shotgun shell hitting the floor. Cool, as a lover of guns, but completely pointless.
Rebel Moon, a movie series so bad Kathleen Kennedy said "Nope" and was actually correct for once in the last fifteen years. I love that he got Cold Fusion confused with Coal Fusion. At least we have the meme of Grain being the most valuable commodity in the Snyderverse.
The biggest plot hole in this mockery of a scrip is why a such a small harvest, from such a small town, is so critical to the survival of the empire. The crew has nothing to eat? Are they going to eat pancakes all the journey? How much flour can they produce from that harvest? Do they have any mills on board? Are they going to eat the wheat raw? I dunno... I really dunno.
That was literally my first thought 12 seconds into the first movie !😂 like these dudes got spaceships and portals but yet haven't perfected farming and agriculture ? 😂 like even nasa and spacex have plans and technology for growing food when they get to mars and you're telling me this super advanced civilization never figured it out ? 😂😂gtfo
@@eternalproductions Just shows the IQ and knowledge of the writers, director, and the piss-poor actors. Any one with a brain would point this out. Heck, their idea of farming was straight out of 899 AD
It's the Snyder Strategy. Release a terrible movie and allow people to see it and say how terrible it is, then Peak people's interest by telling them you'll release an extended cut that totally fixes all the problems and makes the movie better.
19:08 Probably a reference to the death of Julius Ceasar who was allegedly stabbed to death Also, the musicians playing the soundtrack to the betrayal scene is just unintentionally funny, something you would expect from a parody
Dear disparu Thank you for 2 years of great entertainment Way better than Netflix Especially the quips and cutoffs when you swear halfway were funny Keep doing a good job
so you are saying that he was the kevin feige of DC? ...................................................ok. i didn't know he was in charge of all of the WB/DC movies..... man they really should have had other people on board to write and direct all of those different movies. it's like bayformers and bmnt all over again. they must really hate those IP's. i really can't wait for the Gunnverse.
Snyder had a massive influence. To begin with, Geoff Johns, a prominent comic book writer who transitioned into influential roles at DC Entertainment (as Chief editor of DC Comics and chief creative officer of DC Entertainment as a whole), played a significant role in shaping the early direction of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Alongside Jon Berg, oversaw much of the creative direction within DC Entertainment, spanning comics, films, video games, television, and animation. The two convinced WB to start the DCEU and then co-created the DC Films division-separate from Warner Brothers films. They brought Zack Snyder and his production company on board to oversee the films, ensuring they aligned with Snyder's distinct vision. Under their guidance, many directors for DCEU films, such as Patty Jenkins and David Ayer, were selected by Snyder's wife, Deborah Snyder, who co-ran their production company. These directors were instructed to adhere closely to Snyder's creative vision, which Johns-known for his edgy storytelling in the comics-fully supported. Snyder and Johns collaborated closely on the screenplays and scripts for most DCEU films, up until Justice League (EVERYTHING had to Match Synder's vision, to the point where he would even film certain action scenes for David Ayer and Patty Jenkins in Suicide Squad & Wonder Woman. He then made Patty Jenkins his protege, teaching her his signature style in filming action cinematography. However, it's worth noting the significant contribution of Allan Heinberg, particularly in the success of Wonder Woman. He often gets overlooked, which is sad, because he wrote the screenplay of Wonder Woman and the best parts of the movie were his idea. Patty Jenkins just filmed it, and begrudgingly followed his script. Heinberg's ideas, which emphasized the character's innocence, her romance with Steve Trevor, and her naivety in thinking Ares controlled the war, were instrumental to the success of that movie. Despite Heinberg's essential role, tensions arose between Patty Jenkins and Snyder over script disagreements, leading to Heinberg's departure from Wonder Woman 2 (co-written by Geoff Johns, Zack Snyder post-JL departure, and Patty Jenkins). The dynamics within DC Entertainment shifted dramatically after Snyder departed from Justice League due to personal reasons and subsequent replacement by Joss Whedon for reshoots. The film's financial disappointment prompted changes, including Johns being replaced by Walter Hamada. Goeff John's firing from leadership after the PR nightmare that was JL and the Ray Fisher Cyborg drama, as well as the success of Aquaman spearheaded by Walter Hamada, and his Protege/hire, James Waan) led to Walter Hamada's ascent. Hamada marked a significant transition within DC Films. Despite this, Geoff Johns, Zack Snyder, and their production company reunited with Patty Jenkins for Wonder Woman 1984, although without Heinberg. Their collaboration marked a pivotal moment in the DCEU's trajectory. Which is of course worsened by COVID-19, and more importantly, Warner Brothers' decision to move the movie onto HBO Max without consulting any of their business partners, division heads, or the actors involved. Throughout subsequent regime changes within DC Entertainment, the influence of Johns, Snyder, and their production company lost pretty much all of their relevance and influence as a DCU slowly died with a whimper. At least John's got to collect a paycheck even after his firing, because he made sure that every dceu adapted A variation of his run of the comics so he always got a back-end check, which pissed off a lot of other comic book writers and brought up many ethical concerns due to the fact that he was also basically the president and chief creative officer of DC.
@@lucariomew365 WB also made a big show of Nolan having a producer credit, insinuating he was passing the proverbial torch to Snyder, for a "grittier, darker" alternative to the MCU in the same vein as TDK trilogy. MoS was not great, but I was in the exhibit hall at SDCC when the screen dropped-down and the first trailer for BvS dropped, then out came Snyder and the cast. Pretty sure every single there assumed it would be a huge hit, creatively and commercially, and possibly even overshadow Captain America: Civil War. Oh, what naive fools we all were. I was only vaguely aware of who ZS was at the time. I had really liked 300, Dawn of the Dead, and Watchmen, so I figured BvS would be a slam dunk. Everyone did. That was also the first time I started to wonder if maybe he was kind of a jerk. Ant-man was due to come out soon, and in an interview to promote BvS, Snyder referred to it as a "flavor of the month", unlike his much more serious movie. Ugh. I wondered why a guy with a big huge hit about to open would feel the need to put down a much smaller film featuring a character most people had never even heard of. Ironically, Ant-Man was a huge hit, and we all know how BvS turned out, and it was downhill ever since. Snyder has learned absolutely nothing. He doubles down on everything most people can't stand about his films, and has the nerve to talk about his "artistic vision" when the guy hasn't had an original thought in his life. His only decent films were written and story boarded by other, vastly more qualified and creative people (one of them being James Gunn - again, the irony!). Rebel Moon is bloated, overblown remake of a Star Wars ripoff from 1980 called Battle Beyond the Stars, among many, many, MANY other elements blatantly ripped-off from way better sources, yet Snyder continues to act as though all of these ideas came to him in a vision quest. Textbook twattage.
@@jeremyrfritz Well Cap 3 wasn't originally going to be Civil War, it was going to be a solo Cap movie. It's after the big announcement that WB did as SDCC that Kevin Feige decided to retool Cap 3 into Civil War, announcing it after BvS. He then had the Marvel production machine push up the theatrical release date, after the fact, to directly compete with DC's BvS.
What people miss is that Vader is not a core part of the command structure. He’s more like a commissar or viceroy. Disobeying him is functionally disobeying the emperor himself, which is presumably treason. He tortured the officer in A New Hope for slander but backed down when told not to act by the actual viceroy. He’s in the position of full viceroy in Empire, yet he didn’t kill the admiral for incompetence but disobedience (ergo, treason). He shouldn’t have killed the captain, but that was probably rage.
Moff Tarkin and other Moffs in general are very high ranking officers/governors that take direct orders from Palpatine, even Vader can't get away with just bullying them without getting slapped by the Emperor
@@marcogenovesi8570 I don’t know about Moffs in general, but certainly Grand Moffs, unless he’d been sent to remove one. As I say, he’s like a political officer on some kind of roving commission.
The extended farming scene reminds me how the people in the CHAZ tried to grew their food by throwing some dirt on plastic and sitting around it waiting for it to grow. They show the same amount of knowledge how farming works...
With an entire empire, he's pretty busy. Even the mighty Dredd can do so much. I'd like to think he visited the village later after the battle and busted them all. Just imagine the Scargiver falling down a hundred story building like Mama did.
Ok, let me get this straight: They need 14 days to harvest all the grain with literal medieval level technology. In medieval times a team of 5 peasants (4 reapers and 1 binder) could usually harvest about two acres of crops a day. And that is just harvesting the grain it doesn't include the time neccesary to thresh, winnow and sieve it which needs to be done as well before it can be used. An average combine harvester today can be operated by a single person and harvests around 150 acres of corn a day and it will also thresh, winnow and sieve the corn for you. That is not accounting for whatever tech a spacefaring civilisation might use for harvesting their grain. Also a little fun fact: in medieval times flour was only milled when neccesary. They stored corn, not flour, because corn has a much higher shelf life than flour and is far easier to store. I don't see why those rebel moon peasants should have the required tech to safely store flour but not the required tech to efficiently harvest grain.
I don't know anything about farming, but it bothered me too that they decided to mill the grain. Like... you people are going to have a battle around these crops. If a bag gets damaged, grain can still be collected and sieved from dust, but flour is gone. Granted the spaceship doesn't just bomb them from the orbit, are they going to risk their harvest like that and then make half-dust bread from what they're left with? This movie is a pile of insanity.
Corn didn't exist during medieval times. Europe didn't get corn until after it was brought back from The Americas. Definitely impossible until at the bare minimum 1493.
the empire literally turned an entire planet into ashes in part 1, imagine the massive food sources got wasted with it now they have to struggle with some random village and lose tons of men and resources just for some bags of grain they couldnt get in the end
@@RhysCallinan-hf7qx Hey, if they really needed to feed their crew then it makes sense they wouldn't need as much after all the deaths ... Snyder-logic.
The "speed harvesting" reminds me of the Six Million Dollar Man TV show, where when they wanted to show Steve Austin running at super speed, they'd do it in slow motion. Glad to see that technique has been passed onto new generations. 👍😄
It's not only the writing. He was once praised as a great visual director, but even that doesn't work anymore. His movies get uglier all the time and even the few impressive shots don't help when the rest looks like shit. So the true challenge should be: Here's a good script for you. You will not change anything. Definitly no overpowered heroes. And no unnecessary slow-mo, you don't use the stupid lense you love so much, no filters ...
The whole premise of a capital ship with multiple platoons of soldiers/armored vehicles/aircraft bullying a community of less than 30 people for some flour is just...I can't suspend my disbelief. Revealing that Cora is a big piece of crap who killed what was likely an actual angel and genuine hope for the galaxy doesn't really endear me to her.
If you are Hack Snider and you want to copy Seven Samurai and add Star Wars/40k to it then it makes sense - for you. If you only listen to people who love your work regardless of the actual quality then there's nobody who says "Zack, you can't have a village like in Seven Samurai and replace the bandits with a huge army from a galaxy-spanning empire. It's not gonna work." Same goes for the Scargiver.
Zack Snyder really let the Justice League Director's Cut popularity get to his head. And I kNoW yOu ThOuGht It WaS Sh*t ThE wHoLe TiMe, commenter. You're so cool.
This fucking assassination scene makes my head hurt. In Dishonored protagonist, a highly skilled and trusted bodyguard, was framed for murder of Empress by small group of traitors to be found next to her body by royal Court. That makes sense. In Snyder's brain rot of a movie the whole Court are on conspiracy. Why the fuck they are yelling at her?
Like seriously, the entire court STABS THE ROYALS TO DEATH, and the head guy literally screams at Scargiver to shoot the princess...then she does...then "HOW COULD YOU, YOU MURDERER"...what, did they all suddenly get lobotomies at that moment or something?
@@Kiljaedenasto be fair, Scargiver hesitated for soooo long that clearly she couldn't be trusted. Vocally accusing her of murder was like a que to the whole court that this person is our scapegoat with the public.
0.20 seconds in , he basically says. “ I asked my Mom and sisters what they thought “ and ignored ordinary viewers and fans as I knew they would be biased…….good method ….
Wait wait wait... the CHILD MURDERER is the good guy?!?!? I'm done LOL This is the opposite of George Lucas worrying about Han Solo shooting first. If Snyder was in charge of Star Wars he'd have had Han Solo raze Mos Eisley to the ground just for laughs.
Well, turns out in the end, the princess is still alive, according to general Titus. How did she survived? Don't know, some space magic BS I'm guessing. Why didn't the guy mentioned it before? Because the sequel needs to happen!
@@doublep1980 Of course she's alive. Too good that Snyder doesn't understand this didn't change anything if our super-bodyguard thinks she killed her. But attempted child murder sounds better i guess ...
I imagine if you're one of Zack Snyder's "friends" and you try and tell him something about his movie he doesn't like then you don't get invited back so of course they all love it. Most of these movie premiere's are pretty swanky.
Zack is not that big of a deal. The studios are looking out for their interests and internally they had to check him pretty hard unless theres some fckery going on. I dont believe for a second that some high ranking officer seen the movie and didnt ask questions and I dont think “trust me bro, the next one will be better” works on these people.
How a smart person would react. Step 1: Harvest all the foodstuff... Step 2: Leave and sell said foodstuff on the market... Step 3: Move your village population to a different world Step 4: Start a new village on the chosen world. Step 5: Profit? Side Note: I know it is mentioned they don't have enough time, however they should have started the harvest as soon as the bad guys left in the first film, not wait until MC came back. Also, it wouldn't make sense as the bad guys specifically stated they wanted the food, so them not harvesting it would have not gone over well, when the bad guys arrived for the food in the first place. The time limit mentioned in Part 2 seems made up, specifically to hand wave the forced plot in.
"Oi am a Zider drinker. Oi drinks it all of the day. Oi am a zider drinker It takes all my troubles away Ooh aar ooh aar ay Ooh aar ooh arr ay". Pure class.
That is **not** the order of how you harvest a crop! You reap first, bind the sheaves into bundles, stook - stand the bundles up to dry in the field [which they don't do], cart the grain, glean the leftovers, & _then_ thresh & winnow near the grain store, so you don't have to move it as far -- you don't thresh or winnow in the middle of the f^cking field *while* the harvest is still going! What the f^ck?! Oh, & harvested grain was usually *left* as grain until needed, because it lasted _longer_ in that form -- hope you lot like the taste of weevils & rancid flour... It's just such a stupid premise in the first movie; getting pissy about some inconsequential village wanting to do *the normal thing* & keep some of their harvest back for next season's planting- & wanting to wipe them out because of that?! It's *_one_* lousy village - take what they're able to offer, & go to the next village on the sh^tty farm planet /moon- whatever, & if you don't get your desired total allotment from the one- go to the next 'farming planet' in your vicinity, & just keep tallying it up 'til you hit your necessary total -- it can't **possibly** be the only place to get grain- on the planet, nor in the galaxy - & what value is there in killing a workforce? '10 Commandments' said it best: "Men make bricks - the strong make many - the weak make few; the dead make none." Seriously, this is just a *highly* flawed premise, from the get-go...
Zack is ripping off Roger Corman's "Battle Beyond the Stars", except that Corman's bad guy, Sador, is a marauding Viking raiding planets for resources, not an empire trying to maintain order.
@@biotrekker Actually, Zack is ripping off Seven Samurai. Instead of the entire Imperial Galactic Fleet, Akira Kurosawa saw it fitting that the antagonist were just 30 bandits attacking a remote farming village for their crops. Somehow in Zack’s mind, the Empire should just focus on one bumfeck nowhere remote farming village
As one would; travel to the edge of the galaxy with out provisions for a mechanism to produce food. Same with fuel. You just pull in to the nearest space gas stations.
I'm pretty sure it's because there was so little content, he would have needed to start doing his review in slow motion if he wanted to pad it out any longer
When Phantom Menace came out, much of the criticism was that the central focus of the episode was a trade embargo. I'm so glad that Zack realized that grain harvesting was so much more exciting to build a story around. Episode 3 we'll be saving the Princess that we just found out about. So Shrek as spiritual inspiration ?? BTW you missed an annoying Schneiderism... When the villager comments on how they are asking others to lay down their lives for them, the camera immediately pauses on the only main character to die in the movie (inserted foreshadowing) - which allowed me to correctly predict her fate before the 10-minute mark. A friend watching along even said "Guess she's the red shirt guy".
i mean, they were pretty.... then he found that stupid broken lens on ebay and now he can't even claim that. He went from pretty nonsense to blurry nonsense.
@diomedes7971 I once really liked 300 and Watchmen, but that has changed over time. Sucker Punch and his newer movies convinced me that there was never really anything beyond the visuals. And i'm tired of his visual style (plus all the slow motion).
The director's cut will reveal that this humble village is able to create Lembas out of the 50 bushels of grain. "One will keep a traveler on his feet for a day of long labour, even if he be one of the tall Men of the Motherworld." - some knife-ear from the woods.
One more tiny plot fail is that flour in a silo is highly explosive. Ok, we have this stable harvested wheat, but right before an obvious and huge battle, lets make it into a really dangerous state, and vulnerable to any stray shot or missile.
And flour doesn't keep well as grain too. And also, if grain of sack is scattered on the ground, it is salvageable unlike flour. In other words, a typical incompetence for supposed "movies" "creators" from Hollyweird...
I find it weird to call it Director's Cut! Originally the Dir.Cut was the director's vision of a movie while the theatrical version was the studio's. But here Snyder had full control, and I mean FULL control, as director, writer, producer and cinematographer. So it would be an EXTENDED cut!
An orchestra with bags over their heads so they can’t see the assassination, yet perfectly orchestrate the scene. A group of farmers with a hover cart but no harvesting equipment (and are happy to take on a spaceship). A love scene that was so formulaic that I knew the word before they were said. A harvest that can be completed multiple times faster than the experienced farmers have ever done before. And then a painfully long harvesting scene with scenes that have been done so many time before. My belief was suspended at this point and I dropped out and asked Netflix not to recommend this type of thing anymore. Such a disappointment.
After watching the movie, I have so many more questions than I did before... like, is this a one village planet type situation? or are there other villages? How did those villagers get there? did they just spawn? Why didn't the evil empire just start their own farm a mile down the road? why does tarzan never wear a shirt? who are all these people and why? what's the deal with the robot? he could've just stopped the fight from the start...
The blonde Princess is such a shameless Witcher Ripoff. My personal highlight were the weapon training parts. I had to remember those old Robin Hood Movies, when they actually showed non-military ppl getting trained for battle - they struggled, they were afraid, they worked hard, but knew that they had no other chance, and every bit of practice and knowledge gave them a glint of hope to survive or make their ppl win. Not so for these brave women, who were hidden Spartans their whole life with no one realizing - there have always been female soldiers in this little farming village. What a shitshow.
He did a positive review of the Terminal List. It didn't get a lot of views, though, at least compared to his other stuff. This was when he was still finetuning his content, to see what worked with the audience and what didn't. Also, his style best suits things that are widely regarded as bad, since he takes the piss out of shows/films rather than giving standard reviews- and a lot of people seem to not be able to handle that approach for something that they like, lol. E.g. when he covered Andor, he was getting a lot of angry comments from Andor fans, even though he said he didn't think it was bad. So since then he's stuck to generally disliked shows and films.
Show me a movie worth a positive review first. Problem is, reviewers have seen so many horribly bad movies, even just horrible movies have been getting positive reviews
The royal murder scene, oh wow. It is like the stupidest parody on red wedding and its original real story. Why is that evil guy makes her kill them but gets angry when she shoots a child? Movies should not be so stupid. It is painful how stupid this was.
So many questions, I will probably edit this comment as we go :P 5:06 Wasn't Hagan killed in the first movie? 6:57 So the Empire do have ground-to-orbit communication? That should have ended the first movie very quickly. 34:00 The director's cut is just going to be a straight documentary about how bread is made, except for the NSFW octopus scene which will be in the most jarring possible place.
"You know, it's a rare movie indeed that can make me genuinely question my career choice as a film critic but I think Rebel Moon 2 might have just managed it"-Critical Drinker
Drinkers review was a 6 minute vid that's all I needed to see. While disparus vid would be a more fleshed out review/piss take of this film I'd seen all I needed to see of this pile of shit from drinker. Disparus takes are awesome but 50 minutes is way to long for me to see any more of this awful film.
To be fair, trying to explain the logic of forethought to people in real life is generally equally frustrating and stupid. "You can spend the money now and fix your car before it breaks, or you can save your money now and spend three times as much to fix it after it breaks" "...I have decided to hold off for now" Weeks later... "my car broke now I need to buy a new one (150x the cost of the initial repair)"
45:25 her armpit hair has fur glow. Very brave and cinematic. My favorite part was when I heard the lion king 2019 soundtrack in my head 10/10 can smell the furglow
Dear Mr Director, you dont need slow motion to make fans appreciate the scene. You need to make the scene good, and if it's good, we will be more than happy to rewatch it.
Convenient that the grain is harvestable at that specific time... "We need the grain to be brought in within 3 days!" "But... it still needs to grow for at least 3 weeks..." "Ok, so... there is no grain right now....?" End of movie
This movie is terrible but I could believe it. Why would the imperials in the first movie come asking for it if it wasn't ready? If they did the villagers could've brought up it wasn't ready. This movie is terrible yes, I'm not defending it, I just don't think that's a plot hole.
re: Teaching the blond girl to shoot. She actually held the rifle correctly the first time. Moving her elbow to near-vertical instead of horizontal would actually make the recoil hurt more, not less.
She did not. The "chicken wing" stance is an old school one used when massed lines and trench warfare was the main thing. The modern standard for long guns is to keep your elbows in tighter, make you a smaller target and allows you to maneuver easier with less bumping into walls.
@@DH-xw6jp Pretty sure that neither my father (82nd Airborne) nor step-father (US Marine) fought in WWI, and they taught me to shoot. As for horizontal vs vertical: Does the shooter want to take the recoil in their shoulder, their arm, or their pec? Bottom line is that a girl shooting a rifle with her upper arm vertical instead of horizontal is going to get her boob smashed. I've seen it happen. If you don't believe me, ask a girl. She was holding it right the first time.
In the shooting practice scene, I noticed an example of how ideology takes away from characterization and story. It's when Titus congratulates Gunnar (aka Daario Naharis 2) on his shooting, saying he's like a professional, and Gunnar is pleased. That's actual character development- a farmer that's learned to fight like a soldier because of his experiences in the story. However, it's ruined because at the same time we see all these farm women (who haven't had those experiences) shooting even better than him, for no reason except "Girl power!".
If we just show the audience a bunch of harvested wheat without showing the wheat being harvested the audience is going to say "How the hell did that happen?" - Zach Snyder

Calling for a Zack Snyder directors cut wont save this movie, what more could you add? More slow motion harvesting scenes? The characterisation in Rebel Moon part 2 is still virtually none existent, the plot is "lets make some grain then have a fight", and the camera work includes BROKEN equipment for "art".

Even with movies like The Batman where the rain is added using CGI in post, there has to be a certain level of competence there in the first place for a director with some semblance of self respect to say "ah yes, this looks good enough that we can do that!"
I think Snyder's "trusted friends" are snickering behind his back
Plot twist: he has no friends. He sits alone in a room and edits the film until he stops crying. Then it's done.
They're the same "friends" that sent Johnny Somali to Israel in the hopes either the terrorists or the Israelis would get him. 🤷♂️
i think its weird that he has no self awareness.. like bro your "friends" are just yes men . No ones gonna disagree with the boss

A scene I remember is in Dawn of the Dead, he slo mo'd a scene of a shotgun shell hitting the floor. Cool, as a lover of guns, but completely pointless.

The biggest plot hole in this mockery of a scrip is why a such a small harvest, from such a small town, is so critical to the survival of the empire. The crew has nothing to eat? Are they going to eat pancakes all the journey? How much flour can they produce from that harvest? Do they have any mills on board? Are they going to eat the wheat raw? I dunno... I really dunno.
My bad, but as I said... I skipped the slow motion harvesting. Unbearable. Yet, so little flour would mind much.
And so much wasted grain left on the ground and in the mill

Snyder had a massive influence.
To begin with, Geoff Johns, a prominent comic book writer who transitioned into influential roles at DC Entertainment (as Chief editor of DC Comics and chief creative officer of DC Entertainment as a whole), played a significant role in shaping the early direction of the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Alongside Jon Berg, oversaw much of the creative direction within DC Entertainment, spanning comics, films, video games, television, and animation. The two convinced WB to start the DCEU and then co-created the DC Films division-separate from Warner Brothers films. They brought Zack Snyder and his production company on board to oversee the films, ensuring they aligned with Snyder's distinct vision.
Under their guidance, many directors for DCEU films, such as Patty Jenkins and David Ayer, were selected by Snyder's wife, Deborah Snyder, who co-ran their production company. These directors were instructed to adhere closely to Snyder's creative vision, which Johns-known for his edgy storytelling in the comics-fully supported.
Snyder and Johns collaborated closely on the screenplays and scripts for most DCEU films, up until Justice League (EVERYTHING had to Match Synder's vision, to the point where he would even film certain action scenes for David Ayer and Patty Jenkins in Suicide Squad & Wonder Woman. He then made Patty Jenkins his protege, teaching her his signature style in filming action cinematography. However, it's worth noting the significant contribution of Allan Heinberg, particularly in the success of Wonder Woman. He often gets overlooked, which is sad, because he wrote the screenplay of Wonder Woman and the best parts of the movie were his idea. Patty Jenkins just filmed it, and begrudgingly followed his script. Heinberg's ideas, which emphasized the character's innocence, her romance with Steve Trevor, and her naivety in thinking Ares controlled the war, were instrumental to the success of that movie. Despite Heinberg's essential role, tensions arose between Patty Jenkins and Snyder over script disagreements, leading to Heinberg's departure from Wonder Woman 2 (co-written by Geoff Johns, Zack Snyder post-JL departure, and Patty Jenkins).
The dynamics within DC Entertainment shifted dramatically after Snyder departed from Justice League due to personal reasons and subsequent replacement by Joss Whedon for reshoots. The film's financial disappointment prompted changes, including Johns being replaced by Walter Hamada.
Goeff John's firing from leadership after the PR nightmare that was JL and the Ray Fisher Cyborg drama, as well as the success of Aquaman spearheaded by Walter Hamada, and his Protege/hire, James Waan) led to Walter Hamada's ascent. Hamada marked a significant transition within DC Films. Despite this, Geoff Johns, Zack Snyder, and their production company reunited with Patty Jenkins for Wonder Woman 1984, although without Heinberg. Their collaboration marked a pivotal moment in the DCEU's trajectory. Which is of course worsened by COVID-19, and more importantly, Warner Brothers' decision to move the movie onto HBO Max without consulting any of their business partners, division heads, or the actors involved.
Throughout subsequent regime changes within DC Entertainment, the influence of Johns, Snyder, and their production company lost pretty much all of their relevance and influence as a DCU slowly died with a whimper. At least John's got to collect a paycheck even after his firing, because he made sure that every dceu adapted A variation of his run of the comics so he always got a back-end check, which pissed off a lot of other comic book writers and brought up many ethical concerns due to the fact that he was also basically the president and chief creative officer of DC.
@@lucariomew365 WB also made a big show of Nolan having a producer credit, insinuating he was passing the proverbial torch to Snyder, for a "grittier, darker" alternative to the MCU in the same vein as TDK trilogy. MoS was not great, but I was in the exhibit hall at SDCC when the screen dropped-down and the first trailer for BvS dropped, then out came Snyder and the cast. Pretty sure every single there assumed it would be a huge hit, creatively and commercially, and possibly even overshadow Captain America: Civil War.
Oh, what naive fools we all were.
I was only vaguely aware of who ZS was at the time. I had really liked 300, Dawn of the Dead, and Watchmen, so I figured BvS would be a slam dunk. Everyone did. That was also the first time I started to wonder if maybe he was kind of a jerk. Ant-man was due to come out soon, and in an interview to promote BvS, Snyder referred to it as a "flavor of the month", unlike his much more serious movie. Ugh. I wondered why a guy with a big huge hit about to open would feel the need to put down a much smaller film featuring a character most people had never even heard of.
Ironically, Ant-Man was a huge hit, and we all know how BvS turned out, and it was downhill ever since.
Snyder has learned absolutely nothing. He doubles down on everything most people can't stand about his films, and has the nerve to talk about his "artistic vision" when the guy hasn't had an original thought in his life. His only decent films were written and story boarded by other, vastly more qualified and creative people (one of them being James Gunn - again, the irony!).
Rebel Moon is bloated, overblown remake of a Star Wars ripoff from 1980 called Battle Beyond the Stars, among many, many, MANY other elements blatantly ripped-off from way better sources, yet Snyder continues to act as though all of these ideas came to him in a vision quest.
Textbook twattage.
@@jeremyrfritz
Well Cap 3 wasn't originally going to be Civil War, it was going to be a solo Cap movie. It's after the big announcement that WB did as SDCC that Kevin Feige decided to retool Cap 3 into Civil War, announcing it after BvS. He then had the Marvel production machine push up the theatrical release date, after the fact, to directly compete with DC's BvS.
What people miss is that Vader is not a core part of the command structure.
He’s more like a commissar or viceroy. Disobeying him is functionally disobeying the emperor himself, which is presumably treason.
He tortured the officer in A New Hope for slander but backed down when told not to act by the actual viceroy.
He’s in the position of full viceroy in Empire, yet he didn’t kill the admiral for incompetence but disobedience (ergo, treason). He shouldn’t have killed the captain, but that was probably rage.
Moff Tarkin and other Moffs in general are very high ranking officers/governors that take direct orders from Palpatine, even Vader can't get away with just bullying them without getting slapped by the Emperor
@@marcogenovesi8570 I don’t know about Moffs in general, but certainly Grand Moffs, unless he’d been sent to remove one. As I say, he’s like a political officer on some kind of roving commission.

This said a visit from Judge Death for the lot would be a kindness.
@@RhysCallinan-hf7qx That wouldn't work with Zack's invincible heroes. Kora might feel a little bit of pain after the landing, but that's all.
Ok, let me get this straight: They need 14 days to harvest all the grain with literal medieval level technology. In medieval times a team of 5 peasants (4 reapers and 1 binder) could usually harvest about two acres of crops a day. And that is just harvesting the grain it doesn't include the time neccesary to thresh, winnow and sieve it which needs to be done as well before it can be used. An average combine harvester today can be operated by a single person and harvests around 150 acres of corn a day and it will also thresh, winnow and sieve the corn for you. That is not accounting for whatever tech a spacefaring civilisation might use for harvesting their grain.
Also a little fun fact: in medieval times flour was only milled when neccesary. They stored corn, not flour, because corn has a much higher shelf life than flour and is far easier to store. I don't see why those rebel moon peasants should have the required tech to safely store flour but not the required tech to efficiently harvest grain.
I don't know anything about farming, but it bothered me too that they decided to mill the grain. Like... you people are going to have a battle around these crops. If a bag gets damaged, grain can still be collected and sieved from dust, but flour is gone. Granted the spaceship doesn't just bomb them from the orbit, are they going to risk their harvest like that and then make half-dust bread from what they're left with? This movie is a pile of insanity.
Corn didn't exist during medieval times. Europe didn't get corn until after it was brought back from The Americas. Definitely impossible until at the bare minimum 1493.
@@GregorySnipe I think they both accidentally use the word "corn" instead of "grain". Because what the movie shows is no corn.

Zack Snyder lives in a fan boy bubble without objective feedback... he also needs to stay away from scripts.
Replace "scripts" with "all of Hollywood" and you'd be correct.
It's not only the writing. He was once praised as a great visual director, but even that doesn't work anymore. His movies get uglier all the time and even the few impressive shots don't help when the rest looks like shit.
So the true challenge should be: Here's a good script for you. You will not change anything. Definitly no overpowered heroes. And no unnecessary slow-mo, you don't use the stupid lense you love so much, no filters ...

If you are Hack Snider and you want to copy Seven Samurai and add Star Wars/40k to it then it makes sense - for you. If you only listen to people who love your work regardless of the actual quality then there's nobody who says "Zack, you can't have a village like in Seven Samurai and replace the bandits with a huge army from a galaxy-spanning empire. It's not gonna work." Same goes for the Scargiver.
Admiral Mushroom Head gets killed by the Scargiver and then he is brought back to be killed...again.

Step 1: Harvest all the foodstuff...
Step 2: Leave and sell said foodstuff on the market...
Step 3: Move your village population to a different world
Step 4: Start a new village on the chosen world.
Step 5: Profit?
Side Note: I know it is mentioned they don't have enough time, however they should have started the harvest as soon as the bad guys left in the first film, not wait until MC came back. Also, it wouldn't make sense as the bad guys specifically stated they wanted the food, so them not harvesting it would have not gone over well, when the bad guys arrived for the food in the first place. The time limit mentioned in Part 2 seems made up, specifically to hand wave the forced plot in.

Snyder and Steven Seagal read the same 2 page manual on how to write a compelling story, but then they both forgot they don't know how to read.
That is **not** the order of how you harvest a crop!
You reap first, bind the sheaves into bundles, stook - stand the bundles up to dry in the field [which they don't do], cart the grain, glean the leftovers, & _then_ thresh & winnow near the grain store, so you don't have to move it as far -- you don't thresh or winnow in the middle of the f^cking field *while* the harvest is still going! What the f^ck?!
Oh, & harvested grain was usually *left* as grain until needed, because it lasted _longer_ in that form -- hope you lot like the taste of weevils & rancid flour...
It's just such a stupid premise in the first movie; getting pissy about some inconsequential village wanting to do *the normal thing* & keep some of their harvest back for next season's planting- & wanting to wipe them out because of that?!
It's *_one_* lousy village - take what they're able to offer, & go to the next village on the sh^tty farm planet /moon- whatever, & if you don't get your desired total allotment from the one- go to the next 'farming planet' in your vicinity, & just keep tallying it up 'til you hit your necessary total -- it can't **possibly** be the only place to get grain- on the planet, nor in the galaxy - & what value is there in killing a workforce?
'10 Commandments' said it best: "Men make bricks - the strong make many - the weak make few; the dead make none."
Seriously, this is just a *highly* flawed premise, from the get-go...
Zack is ripping off Roger Corman's "Battle Beyond the Stars", except that Corman's bad guy, Sador, is a marauding Viking raiding planets for resources, not an empire trying to maintain order.
Wait, you are telling me Zack doesn't know anything about harvesting? Ok, let's add this to the long list of things he doesn't understand.
Well, look at the upside; with weevils in the flour, at least you get both protein and bread all in one!

That's because he cut the slow motion. Now the review is the same length as the movie without slow motion.

One more tiny plot fail is that flour in a silo is highly explosive. Ok, we have this stable harvested wheat, but right before an obvious and huge battle, lets make it into a really dangerous state, and vulnerable to any stray shot or missile.
And flour doesn't keep well as grain too.
And also, if grain of sack is scattered on the ground, it is salvageable unlike flour.

Dammit, Disparu! WHY do you do that?! The dang "I've got a brand new combine harvester" line has been circling on repeat in my head! 😂😂
That is the point of any song...and it actually went well with the video LOL
@@AKUJIVALDO ohhhh come on now it's back cycling in my head LOL
You’re about to be edited into a six hour director’s cut😂😂😂
There are going to be 12 movies this is crazy.😂😂😂
I find it weird to call it Director's Cut! Originally the Dir.Cut was the director's vision of a movie while the theatrical version was the studio's. But here Snyder had full control, and I mean FULL control, as director, writer, producer and cinematographer. So it would be an EXTENDED cut!
@@JoergWeidaSnyder is an eejut
Dude, you killed me with that clip of the guys singing Combine Harvester. Never seen it before. Epic!!
Even funnier when Disparu sings it as well 😂
The Wurzels mate. Somerset's finest.
Scargiver even gave his lenses scars
An orchestra with bags over their heads so they can’t see the assassination, yet perfectly orchestrate the scene.
A group of farmers with a hover cart but no harvesting equipment (and are happy to take on a spaceship).
A love scene that was so formulaic that I knew the word before they were said.
A harvest that can be completed multiple times faster than the experienced farmers have ever done before. And then a painfully long harvesting scene with scenes that have been done so many time before.
My belief was suspended at this point and I dropped out and asked Netflix not to recommend this type of thing anymore.
Such a disappointment.
Guy who bends reality to his will every time he's wrong could've been a good idea for a movie.
Like a weird science fiction Suzumiya Haruhi.
As long as there's no "Endless Eight" sequence.
@Uzarran Dear lord I'd forgotten about that, I literally thought the same episode had been uploaded a few times before I caught on back in the day...
If only Kyon wasn't a wuss...
So did Zack owe some farmer a favor so he made the cast and crew harvest their field, and had to use the footage to justify doing it?
I've been calling it "Rectal Moon".
Rotten Moon
Retard Moon
Raping My Mind Moon
now there is an image.
the cracked lense is certainly a metaphor
for not caring about your work or something
After watching the movie, I have so many more questions than I did before... like, is this a one village planet type situation? or are there other villages? How did those villagers get there? did they just spawn? Why didn't the evil empire just start their own farm a mile down the road? why does tarzan never wear a shirt? who are all these people and why? what's the deal with the robot? he could've just stopped the fight from the start...
Snyder dictated script prompts to an AI app while he was on the white stuff.
Welk damn... It DOES seem like it's written by AI lol
We need a Disparu directors cut of his reviews lol
cocaine is a hell of a drug
More coke would have made this movie better.
@@insensitive919 for the production team or for the audience?
who I am kidding here, both...
@@insensitive919 Yes the Peak was Joe Eszterhas, now we are in the weed era and its bad.
The blonde Princess is such a shameless Witcher Ripoff. My personal highlight were the weapon training parts. I had to remember those old Robin Hood Movies, when they actually showed non-military ppl getting trained for battle - they struggled, they were afraid, they worked hard, but knew that they had no other chance, and every bit of practice and knowledge gave them a glint of hope to survive or make their ppl win. Not so for these brave women, who were hidden Spartans their whole life with no one realizing - there have always been female soldiers in this little farming village. What a shitshow.
I like Disparu's new haircut. And I think he should do a couple of reviews on movies he actually likes 😂
It's been exclusively styled by Mrs Nerdrotic. I think she did an excellent job.
I feel like a positive review from him would upset some kind of universal balance and may cause catastrophes throughout space and time!
He could use a comb, but then I could also
He did a positive review of the Terminal List. It didn't get a lot of views, though, at least compared to his other stuff. This was when he was still finetuning his content, to see what worked with the audience and what didn't. Also, his style best suits things that are widely regarded as bad, since he takes the piss out of shows/films rather than giving standard reviews- and a lot of people seem to not be able to handle that approach for something that they like, lol. E.g. when he covered Andor, he was getting a lot of angry comments from Andor fans, even though he said he didn't think it was bad. So since then he's stuck to generally disliked shows and films.
Show me a movie worth a positive review first. Problem is, reviewers have seen so many horribly bad movies, even just horrible movies have been getting positive reviews
The royal murder scene, oh wow. It is like the stupidest parody on red wedding and its original real story.
Why is that evil guy makes her kill them but gets angry when she shoots a child?
Movies should not be so stupid. It is painful how stupid this was.
Ok but you realise that he set her up to take the fall for murdering the royal family. It was probably the only thing that actually made sense
When the video of Damsel, DAMSEL, is 20 minutes longer than the Rebel Moon Part 2 is wild
Minus the slow-mo, this movie is probably half the length of Damsel.
So many questions, I will probably edit this comment as we go :P
5:06 Wasn't Hagan killed in the first movie?
6:57 So the Empire do have ground-to-orbit communication? That should have ended the first movie very quickly.
34:00 The director's cut is just going to be a straight documentary about how bread is made, except for the NSFW octopus scene which will be in the most jarring possible place.
"You know, it's a rare movie indeed that can make me genuinely question my career choice as a film critic but I think Rebel Moon 2 might have just managed it"-Critical Drinker
Drinkers review was a 6 minute vid that's all I needed to see. While disparus vid would be a more fleshed out review/piss take of this film I'd seen all I needed to see of this pile of shit from drinker. Disparus takes are awesome but 50 minutes is way to long for me to see any more of this awful film.
@ 17:46 “The brains of your average Diddy party goer”… Best quote ever!
If he signed up to be in this movie, a second time, of course he’s got brain damage
Grain damage
To be fair, trying to explain the logic of forethought to people in real life is generally equally frustrating and stupid.
"You can spend the money now and fix your car before it breaks, or you can save your money now and spend three times as much to fix it after it breaks" "...I have decided to hold off for now"
Weeks later... "my car broke now I need to buy a new one (150x the cost of the initial repair)"
I really was waiting for this video to come out. It is such an easy prey for such a great hunter... I expect total dismantlement.
I still wanna know how they can travel across space powered by COAL.
Zack Snyder instructed me on how to take a dump in super slow-mo 💩
I cannot forgive you for getting Combine Harvester stuck in my head.
45:25 her armpit hair has fur glow. Very brave and cinematic. My favorite part was when I heard the lion king 2019 soundtrack in my head 10/10 can smell the furglow
Titus: I am General Titus and I'm a hydroholic
I didn't know betraying people was wrong until the person who told me to betray the girl who is key to everything betrayed me!
Dear Mr Director, you dont need slow motion to make fans appreciate the scene. You need to make the scene good, and if it's good, we will be more than happy to rewatch it.
Convenient that the grain is harvestable at that specific time...
"We need the grain to be brought in within 3 days!"
"But... it still needs to grow for at least 3 weeks..."
"Ok, so... there is no grain right now....?"
End of movie
This movie is terrible but I could believe it. Why would the imperials in the first movie come asking for it if it wasn't ready? If they did the villagers could've brought up it wasn't ready. This movie is terrible yes, I'm not defending it, I just don't think that's a plot hole.
re: Teaching the blond girl to shoot. She actually held the rifle correctly the first time. Moving her elbow to near-vertical instead of horizontal would actually make the recoil hurt more, not less.
She did not.
The "chicken wing" stance is an old school one used when massed lines and trench warfare was the main thing.
The modern standard for long guns is to keep your elbows in tighter, make you a smaller target and allows you to maneuver easier with less bumping into walls.
@@DH-xw6jp Pretty sure that neither my father (82nd Airborne) nor step-father (US Marine) fought in WWI, and they taught me to shoot. As for horizontal vs vertical: Does the shooter want to take the recoil in their shoulder, their arm, or their pec? Bottom line is that a girl shooting a rifle with her upper arm vertical instead of horizontal is going to get her boob smashed. I've seen it happen. If you don't believe me, ask a girl. She was holding it right the first time.
Watching hat girl handout the „gifts“ was pure torture.
In the shooting practice scene, I noticed an example of how ideology takes away from characterization and story. It's when Titus congratulates Gunnar (aka Daario Naharis 2) on his shooting, saying he's like a professional, and Gunnar is pleased. That's actual character development- a farmer that's learned to fight like a soldier because of his experiences in the story. However, it's ruined because at the same time we see all these farm women (who haven't had those experiences) shooting even better than him, for no reason except "Girl power!".
