Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire is netflix's new Snyder movie series, but is it any good? Well it looks decent in parts, badly blurred in others (with strange colours) and has little story or characterisation to talk about. The movie feels like random scenes strung together with no real meat to bind them together. Maybe part 2 will fix this and explain more of the random threads that appeared for no reason in this movie. But does that save this movie? Shouldn't a movie be self contained and enjoyable without waiting 4 months for part 2? While Zach Snyder may have had movies interfered with before, this was the movie he wanted to make, in the length he wanted it to be. So things like a story and characters not existing is strange to say the least. Rebel Moon is style over substance, and it doesn't always manage that. But do you think? Did you enjoy Rebel Moon or wish you had the 2 hours back? Let me know your thoughts down below and as always, thanks for watching :)
I shouldn't have watched this review, even the little things i enjoyed in the first 33mn were destroyed...😅 and i saw more not gracious things i missed, cause my brain went blank at some point! 🤣 Great review! on point with the details!
This gives off the reverse of Alien promotional campaign. Instead of a theatrical production promoted as a B movie, this is a B movie promoted as a theatrical epic.
I am reminded by what Trey Parker and Matt Stone said they had to learn about good writing, which is don't write scenes with an "And Then" narrative because there will likely be zero causality or link from scene to scene; randomness will ensure, and hence no connected story. Rather use a "Therefore" and "But" structure - This happens…And therefore this happens…But, this happens…Therefore this happens…
Snyder is the very definition of "style above substance." Don't get me wrong, I liked his early stuff because it was a new style, but eventually I'm going to want a coherent movie.
Honestly, he's been doing the same thing style wise for like 20 years now, is anyone even still impressed by it? I don't think Snyder ever really evolved from his start of directing music videos.
I like his movie styling. But he really needs someone to help with the writing and story direction. It comes across as a 13-year-old still playing with action figures, or a 16-year-old boy making his edgy game plot.
See just "early stuff". They can't name one movie. They just know he's a good director because that's what everyone else says. Everyone says they like some of his movies. Which ones? At least deez can point out one he doesn't like. I hate running zombies as well it lead to World War Z parkur zombies. Meanwhile in the actual book they were just normal zombie speed. Way better book then movie World War Z.
if he'd try and make the next 'John Wick' instead of the next 'Star Wars', he'd actually be much more successful. If he did mid-budget disposable action flicks instead of his obsession with running a new franchise, people would have a much different perception of him. His talent doesn't lie in frankly anything with complexity... he's not capable of complex....
Disney Star Wars is painstakingly calculated to mimic real Star Wars by people who don't understand it. But it's still bad...like expecting steak but it is served boiled with BBQ sauce. Things like Rebel Moon find their own, original ways to be awful...like it was written by winners or a middle school essay contest. Like ordering steak and getting fried bologna covered with gummy bears.
@@Darkstar_DayneDon’t ever call TFA a masterpiece in any capacity, no matter the caveats. TFA is as bad as any modern Disney movie and deserves no praise, however faint.
Watched it. Totally agree with every character being explained in exposition, rather than actually building their character on screen. It really felt like a student wrote the script for a stage performance.
If it was a decent movie, the robot would have been hunting the people in the village. Finally running out of villagers to dismantle, the robot continues its hobby on the local wildlife. When it sees the other characters approaching it murmurs "Humans are such... easy... prey.." as it sharpens its claws in anticipation.
Maybe it's hunting for the humans in the village? Ever thought about that ? Or are you so set on how bad you think this movie is you forget all about common sense?😅
There is one important thing about this movie and is it basically shows what a crap 40k Movie will look like use modern audience ideology. I hope the Amazon team and Cavil show this to the producers and says this is exactly what we need to avoid.
“Modern audience ideology” is a good way of saying style over substance. Thing is that’s basically how you get people into 40k. You tell them do you like space Vikings, or space elves, or Space Egyptian terminators, or Space British people. Then you’ll love 40k And then you give them books to read up on to justify taking out a loan to afford the Custodes
@@TheSuperappelflap go watch Reacher, the Boys and Invincible. I think it says a lot about the quality of a studio that they’ve been making original content for as long as they have and you can’t come up with more than 2 examples
The camera looks openly at the stunt guys as they stand around waiting for their turn to attack the female protagonist. They're checking their phones, relaxed....
I can picture when Zach Snyder was making this movie he was imagining the audience's reaction like that scene from A Christmas Story when Ralphie imagines his teacher's reaction to his essay. "This is the greatest thing we've ever seen. Zach, you're a genius, a prodigy, a true visionary. A+++++++."
There’s not a single original idea in this movie. The fact that Snyder convinced someone to finance this is remarkable. I think he’s the greatest used car salesman this world has ever seen.
I'm not even sure the lack of originality is the worst part. Lack of originality doesn't in itself preclude good storytelling or at least a respectable presentation of well tested ideas. No, what we have here is actual rubbish. The script felt like something a 12 year old's writers work shop would spit out in an afternoon as a first draft. Also, the performances were wooden. The pacing was coma inducing. The visual effects are just your basic CGI vomit. And the whole production, for whatever it may have been worth, was cheesier than Velveeta down to the last frame. The fact that the subject matter itself is cliché and derivative is besides the point. The point is it's just really, really bad film making in general. How do people like Zach Snyder get nice things? He's a no talent hack.
And sexual violence. The men try to rape the girl, then the alien makes advances on the man, and God knows what will be in the longer director's cut. Sodomy Beyond the Stars!
I could buy into it a bit more if she was faster / more agile or showed some obvious skills. Imagine a souped up version of Black Widow. Heck, show *why* she is supposed to be called Scar Giver, may have her slicing up opponents in a blurred frenzy of sharp objects. That would even give the 'excuse' for using slow motion during the fights.
@@ptonpcher being agile doesn't make it any more realistic, because she just wouldn't have the power or punch resistance to go up against men like that. It's total bs that she could be punched in the face and still be ok. Same with other cringe feminist characters like black Widow - 7 stone, 5"3 Scarlett Johansson beating men up twice her size. How? Because... feminism
@@JohnSmith-bu3fw At least it would be an in universe reason for her winning. Women *can* be fast and skilled. Many years ago, I knew a swords-woman. She was pretty small but she was incredibly good, able to take on multiple opponents at once (none of the old waiting for each person's turn). If you counted on skill and speed against her, she could easily beat you. Instead you had to rely on brute strength and stamina against her. At the end of each night, she would fight multiple opponents at once, she didn't win all the time but it was usually a close thing. I'm not saying that level of skill and speed is is common but it *is* possible. If you're going to claim it isn't then I know you do not go outside your own little social circle. Now imagine a fight scene where the protagonist is fast and skilled enough to slice up their opponent but can't do it for long. Suddenly you have a time limit and the danger of an opponent being able to defeat the protagonist simply by being bigger and stronger with a skill level that means they can survive long enough bring their strength etc to bear. Would it have saved this film? I don't think so but at least it would make the fights more interesting.
consistent theme in Zach Snyder's work = re-telling stories that already have been told more effectively in history or by other writers, while applying his own sense of uniform style and drawing attention to his choice of key moments through slow motion, usually oblivious about what really is important with the characters and the story
Nail on head....He has to be on the spectrum or something. He seems to lack true emotion himself and therefore can't convey it to the audience, so he uses slow mo and loud music to overcompensate
Zack Snyder is a guy who believes I need to see Victor Stone playing a game of football in slow motion, but him getting hit by a car should be a jumpscare. He is also the guy who believes I need to see a single CGI sesame seed and some wiener hotdogs in slow motion. But then Flash saving people from Parademons must have Flash walk up the stairs like a child who's come home from a bad day at school.
It's probably the reason he completely missed the point of Watchmen...a book about how pathetic comic book vigilantes would be in real life. Snyder read it and thought "Wow, I should make these guys look extremely cool and badass with endless slow mo shots of them punching through walls."
@@TheRockerX nope. you snyder haters are both wrong and weirdly angry about the decisions a director makes when he makes his own versions of films, yet you still go out of your way to watch them and then bash on them. have you got nothing better to do? lmao you do guys think movies like the last jedi and barbie are masterpieces. gtfo
I think my favorite part was the scene where we see the little princess resurrect a dead bird in a bright flash of light, and the character says something like "I couldn't help but feel she was...different." 🤣🤣🤣
I wrestled most of my life. I've had grown men, from a squared position, grab my wrist and THORW their bodies backwards, through the air, and draw my arms, fully extended down towards the ground from my stranded squatted position and I've NEVER cried out in pain nor felt any sort of pain and this was motions that preceeded my body and face slamming onto mat. They can't make women look too powerful or it's straight up fake, but they also can't make it look real because we all know it's not. They keep trying to make women out to be stronger than men. Bruh, our wrestling team like all others were coed. We had AMAZING women on the teams, but there were ZERO women on our varsity or at the state meets. This imaginary reality where women are better than men needs to relax. It's gonna get a lot of women obnoxiously beat up smh for no reason. Give these whores a god damn Ironman suit and go ham, idgaf! But this shit is beyond stupid now.
Not even just that, but when a man in these movies hit the woman, she's like, not phased, bruh, cut that garbage out! When a man hits a woman with even half force, the women are down and out and are now in their fight or flight. It's ridiculous.
After watching amazingly choreographed action scenes from movies like John Wick 4 and Extraction 2 IN NORMAL SPEED Rebel Moon just looks dated with the constant slo-mo sequences.
I’m starting to wonder whether the BvS warehouse sequence was directed by Snyder or if it was actually done by the second unit team given that it doesn’t have any of Snyder’s signature slow-mo.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. We've kinda been spoiled with John Wick and Hell, even the Bourne and M:I movies. But that said, I'm almost thinking that I might wait till the R-rated version hits Netflix before I watch this film. And who knows, if there's an R-rated version of Part 2, the poor reviews of Part 1 might have taught them something into releasing the R-rated version up front instead of putting out a highly butchered PG-13 version. Which that's what apparently has happened here. If you're forced to cut out so much to lower your Rating that it makes the film so disjointed, then better off not doing it. Imagine if Fox would have demanded a PG-13 version of the Deadpool movies before the eventual R-rated versions...how fucked up would that cut be? People would have roasted it for not making any sense. So what I'm saying here is, let's not blame Zach Snyder here just yet. For all we know, the R-rated cut could be ZS's Justice League good, and this current cut could be just more proof that studios have no business dictating to directors what they should make. Because it sounds like some 40 minutes were cut out fron this Rebel Moon. Maybe even more, I don't know. So let's give Zach the benefit of the doubt and see if his Director's cut is any bettee.
You know, India lives its slow-motion in its movies. Bollywood movies are full of it. Hell, Southern India has four big movie industries based on their languages. The difference between Rebel Moon and RRR is that the plot in RRR moves like a train. Yes, its over the top and dramatic. But the story and the emotion builds to the action scenes and so when the slow-motion kicks in, its actually a nice change. And even then, its not every punch. Snyder is a guy who had a CGI sesame seed and hotdogs flying in ultra slow motion in Snyder Cut. He also has Victor Stone's football game in slow motion. Why? Wtf!
@@valentinegonsalves7322 Absolutely. You can get away with just about anything if the movie is entertaining enough so we don't notice it. 300 was like that, but Rebel Moon has all of Snyder's tropes with no fun story to balance things out.
Why do I believe that their going to make the blonde girl that was saved by the robot the princess as a big plot twist in the second part. Does anyone else agree
what do you mean twist? its obvious. the robot used his weapon to save her. when the movie clearly states that the robots refuse to use violence since their ruler died. thats not a twist, thats linear plot development.
@@TheSuperappelflap what I mean is that the screen writer think that it will be a big plot twist in the next movie as if everyone that saw the movie has a very low Iq
@M_k-zi3tn about as much as you previously commenting how they need to fire Zack Snyder and now your rushing to defend Zack Snyder Next time hide your previous comments idiot bot
@@roluevasreisa5730 hey brain rot victim, I asked what Zack and his fondness of Amber had to do with the movie, I didn't defend shit. I was literally asking in what way the two things are connected, stupid.
I don't know why Zack Snyder can somehow still convince studio executives and shareholders to give him money to produce shite, it's like if you give Uwe Bohl hundreds of millions of dollars...Great cinematographer indeed, but dude...someone needs to tell him about his directing skills
The majority of actors who once showed a variety of emotions, talent etc, now act like a grade 10 understudies who were thrust on stage due to the main lead developing laryngitis. I’d like to know why so many of them once talented, are so bad, unable to emote one single emotion.
@@julesdebeckker627 i think this people are now undirectable, because any criticism or pushback is now racism and sexist. "hey merry sue can you like act better?" "oh why? because im a black woman!"
The robot ran and only came back at the end of the movie because he knew how shit the movie was, plus the kid that saved the young girl we never saw him again 😂
@@0heck Yeah, the movie was full of things like that. Little moments and ideas that make you think, "Oh, that would make an interesting movie. Shame it isn't this one."
If yall could do better do it !! Honestly I enjoyed this more than all the Star Wars episodes and seperate SW serieses 😂 This was one of the best I've seen in a long time
No, we saw them when they left the planet, presumably they will be in the next movie more thoroughly. Also helps if you think of this as one super long movie.
This movie feels like cutscene compilation with all the gameplay removed. It’s a movie put together with a bunch of random sci-fi concepts and tropes to tell a story about putting together team for a bunch of random sci-fi and fantasy characters.
Maybe everyone in this reality is a drater and the empire is run by slightly more competent sdrater. They all say bland, obvious stuff using TV show dialogue, so I feel confident saying that.
If this empire lasted so long you would think they knew things like hydroponics and aeroponics to grow vegetables in spaceships. Yet they have to attack a village because farming is a superpower that only one planet knows how to do.
its Solid 'B' movie material - just why everyone compares it to star wars -- when its pretty much plot of 'Battle amoung the stars' (magnificant 7, or seven samurai in space)
I think the film has been edited this way so Zak can release the "Snyder Cut-fill in the blanks edition" can happen, complete with an extra 90 minutes of footage that asks more questions than it answers. God I miss the days of films that were made to entertain
Because stuidos had only 1 shot to make a profit so it had to be supurb. Now a days you have streaming and blu rays and extended editions to cover your ass if you fail the first time around
Think about all the progress outside cinema we've made though. Now get ready for your ninth state mandated experimental injection and government assigned compulsory gender transition while the banks repossess your home because Bidenomics are going so well.
I have no desire to see a 4 hour cut of this movie. Will it be better? Probably. But for every plot hole filled there will be something equally stupid to go along with it.
Love that Zach bringing up the fact Disney rejected it has blown up in his face. He billed it as they didn't think it was good enough. Not the fact they were just doing the same thing. Both being as bad as the other.
The scene were they all get captured legitimately feels like a bioware rpg were you bring companions into a quest, and they stitch some dialogue in there to remind you they are with you.
Merry Christmas everyone. May the future bring Disperu another season of Willow and the rest of us new seasons of Gotham Knights and Robyn Hood. It will be a Christmas miracle.
I don't know why, but that "Merry Christmas" at the very end of the video is just hilarious to me! Merry Christmas, Disparu! Thank you for all the amazingly entertaining videos!
In The Seven Samurai it's a small local gang that terrorizes villagers and they try to get help from outside, but here an intergalactic empire attacks a village of 20 people for their corn 🤣
When Disney reject it, a company that will literally make any pile of shite, then you know it's god awful. After watching it, it was a big pile of nothingness. Putting aside the terrible acting, writing and directing, from beginning to end I could have sworn something happened in between, I just can't remember what? So If you're yet to watch it, congratulations, you're where we're all at and you've saved yourself the time (and agony).
I remember everyone gushing about this movie cause it was zack snyder making it and I was like "this just seems like a star wars sequels reskin. why is everyone so excited?" glad to see I was justified in my doubts.
@@Darkstar_Dayne It's disney, they have issue with that and even on their streaming they would not allow a star wars property to be more than PG-13. I was talking about it being rejected by disney/kk after all.
Siigghhhh... and here we go again Disparu.. been with you since you were at less than 35k, and the RoP catapulted your YT career to the heights you've always been capable of. You're so british, so brutally honest and satirical. How could I not sub? Keep up the good work my brother from across the pond, keep cookin'! 🍻
If you never read any reviews, you'll never find your flaws. If you never find your flaws, you can never improve. If you never improve, you will be garbage at what you do, regardless of what you tell yourself. The fact the script writers has never read a single review of his work.... now the quality of the storytelling in this movie makes a LOT more sense.
This film was far worse than I could have expected. It literally made me feel physically gross. I got a third into and then watched the rest at four times speed. This is far worse than any other film this year……and that is an immense achievement in itself.
@@cenecasful Definitely. I like slow movies. I have thousands of Blu rays, as I love film. It wasn't the point I was making. I watched it in four times speed because it was that atrocious, I wanted it to waste as least of my time as possible.
This was perfect review. Bad script, unconvincing acting, unnecessary scenes (like in many new movies/series these scenes should cause some impression/feeling by overemphasized it all), a bunch of "modern" imposed concepts (woke), ... Like everything lately, this movie was made to promote new ideology. Space-nazi troops and their evil leader who likes to get his hands dirty, main female character who can do anything (without special powers or augmentations), weak support male character, famous general living on street or space Tarzan waiting for rescue by some super trained chick (who was just one among many other super trained solders), … And such nonsenses in the story. -Space Empire finds lonely planet (where people barely feed themselves) to rob them of food, and there is lone lady working in fields while everyone has fun drinking and talking about debauchery as sort of pleasing gods (guess what R version will look like). Big strong guy in community that is after girl (and no other function in movie) and some week support character that is stupid enough to talk out of line and gets leader of community killed (and everyone is ok with that). And then girl kills bunch of highly trained planet conquering thugs. -Gathering of “heroes” (who do nothing really) to fight SPACE EMPIRE (with big ships, nukes that kill planets, space travelling technology) while wielding swords and shooting from handguns. -Sword fight against spider-lady (with heartbreaking story about kids) is so stupid and unnecessary, same as space Tarzan with bronco handling skills or drunk washout General with guilty conscience (because generals don’t get people killed), gay-bar as pointed in video, and more. All in all, movie doesn’t deserve high mark. Keep up with good work.
"Sword fight against spider-lady (with heartbreaking story about kids) is so stupid and unnecessary, same as space Tarzan with bronco handling skills or drunk washout General with guilty conscience (because generals don’t get people killed), gay-bar as pointed in video, and more." At least it gives characterization "Gathering of “heroes” (who do nothing really) to fight SPACE EMPIRE (with big ships, nukes that kill planets, space travelling technology) while wielding swords and shooting from handguns. ' To train the entire village to protect themselves like every other movie
If the plot was even slightly based on a realistic scenario Girl Boss "I have gathered all these heroes to defend this village! You will never take our grain! Even though we have no army or weapons worth jacks*t, or armoured support or air support or warships...." Villain "Ah well, Mm should I order an airstrike to turn the village and enemies of the empire into a smoking crater or just go for orbital bombardment? Decisions decisions.... I'll close my eyes and just push a button" Village "BOOM!"
Hah, I thought you'd cover Rebel Moon. It's the kind of thing you handle really well on this channel. I saw Rebel Moon on Christmas day, and even though I had low expectations going in, it was still a disappointment. The absolute flatness of the characters does bring things like Gotham Knights and Rings of Power to mind. You review it really well. It does feel like a video game, mixed with scenes taken from other films.
When I saw the scene of the ship and the portal I legit laughed out loud. I'm laughing while writing this comment lol. A truly innovative vision. I couldn't make it out from the shot you presented in the video but does the ship launch smaller ships from the front once it delves inside the portal? I mean, that would be the icing on the cake if that were true.
The absolute state of Hollywood screenwriting: dumb. I'm baffled by the ability to harbor any level of ego, while producing something this abysmal. Oh but I'm sure Zach "worked really hard on it" so we shouldn't critique it because Hollywood writers and directors are essentially 5 year old children, that aren't yet developed enough to handle criticism.
Was the royal guy and the bird scene Snyder remembering Avatar 1 and Jake mastering that giant alien bird lizard to prove himself? I swear, Rebel Moon is just a movie of trying to guess what other movie or whatever was on Snyder's mind when he imagined each scene, character or bit of dialogue.
This movie was such a let down, not cause I’m a Snyder hater but because it was the equivalent to the heist episode of Rick and Morty getting the group together just to get into the convention lmao it’s all group gathering with no payoff in the end 😂
I suspect "white guy bad" happens in real life, each time people like Larry Fink or Bob Iger, by pushing racial ideology, they turn their villainous traits into dependant of their race.
Ironically, only the white guys are allowed to have flaws, and therefore have depth and are more compelling than the dull paper cutouts they call "heroes".
I think Snyder would be better suited to making action games. Dude seems to love stylish action with very little substance on the surface. Movies don't really work with that kind of story, but video games were built off of not having to rely on storytelling to be good.
This really makes me wonder how Snider got a job at all. He demonstrates no actual writing mechanics in actually writing his own stories, the over and terrible use of slow motion is worth a Razzie, and he blatantly refuses to listen to anyone about his work. Many of the same criticisms for this can be said about his Justice League movie as well and he's clearly learned nothing or willing to listen to improve at any point.
To me, unless he has a writer that knows how to do character development, Snyder simply sucks at that aspect. Visually, his style of filmmaking is impressive.
Here’s how it would actually go. *6’3” 280lb man punches 5’2” 90lb woman in the face full force* *Reconstructive surgery required, permanent brain damage possible* *Roll credits*
Best review I’ve heard so far mate. Knowing the awful tropes in these dullard times we live in I could tell by the first trailer what utter bollox this was going to be. You may not consider yourself a “professional” critic but you do have a way of getting to the crux of excruciating crap with pinpoint accuracy. Merry XXXmas
I just bought a 65inch, 4 thousand dollar OLED TV and this is the first thing I watched on it. I thought the TV was broken and almost returned it because of the blur!!!!!! 😂😂😂.
The movie was a nasty slog to watch despite some action scenes here and there. The dialogue interaction between characters in non action scenes just felt so boring and lifeless.
At least the bad guy is wearing a proper SS-like uniform, instead of an armor that looks like a scrotum, we all know and enjoy from other, fantastic franchise!
You can definitely tell Snyder movies apart from others with his love of slow motion. It's similar to Michael Bay slow-mo but still distinct. Man that wormhole though. LMFAO it's hard to believe its shape wasn't on purpose, I mean it looks so much like a snapper it's hard to think otherwise.
Why does everyone keep saying this movie looks good?!?! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! The CGI is atrocious (with the exception of Jimmy the robot), the backdrops are flat and ugly, the use of green screen couldn't be more apparent, the ships look extremely plain with very little detail, and the use of an anamorphic T1.5 lens is baffling. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?
because it looks better than most of the slop we have seen in the last 15 years and for some reason everyone memory holes Avatar. But yeah it looks like trash
@@mistersparkles1842 that they get engagement and keep high their "not a bot" score. Copying someone else's high voted comment is an easy way to fake being a human. There were at least 4 or 5 comments saying the same thing when I posted my reply
I honestly can't watch 99.9% of everything they are making. I've actually gone as far back as the 1940s just to find things to watch. I will be watching A Muppet Christmas Carol later, the last great movie ever made 😁
It's brought up because in the next movie we're going to find out the blonde girl from the farm is actually princess issa... And we're all going to be TERRIBLY surprised.. then won't you feel silly.
To be fair, no soldier with common sense would just rush in and blindly grab her from that angle they showed, when she has a rifle in her hand, firing it with her feet planted and she’s liable to pivot and put 2 in his stomach. Conceptually, he’s not trying to end up living with a shitbag for the rest of his life. 😂😂😂
Rebel Moon: Part One - A Child of Fire is netflix's new Snyder movie series, but is it any good?

We have reached a point where we can do anything in a movie except, it seems, tell a good story.

Seven Samurai, Magnificent Seven, Battle Beyond the Stars. All did far more story telling and character progression in less time that RM managed.
And Warhammer 40K
Blatantly riped off 40k
and a bit of Star Wars A new Hope etc...
I can see why Disney rejected this as a Star Wars script ... they were already doing dogshit like this to destroy their franchises.
what scrazy is the last jedi was way better than this shit and last jedi was panned by the audicences
Disney Star Wars is painstakingly calculated to mimic real Star Wars by people who don't understand it. But it's still bad...like expecting steak but it is served boiled with BBQ sauce.
Things like Rebel Moon find their own, original ways to be awful...like it was written by winners or a middle school essay contest.
Like ordering steak and getting fried bologna covered with gummy bears.
To be very fair The Force Awakens is a masterpiece compared to this dogshit movie
@@Darkstar_DayneDon’t ever call TFA a masterpiece in any capacity, no matter the caveats. TFA is as bad as any modern Disney movie and deserves no praise, however faint.

Watched it. Totally agree with every character being explained in exposition, rather than actually building their character on screen. It really felt like a student wrote the script for a stage performance.
Wait, why is the robot hunting in the forest? It’s a robot, it doesn’t eat, so it’s basically just killing animals… Cos that’s what good guys do!
i got - pretending to be a deer for some reason, apparantly no metal detectors on the space subs .
Incredibly sick.
If it was a decent movie, the robot would have been hunting the people in the village. Finally running out of villagers to dismantle, the robot continues its hobby on the local wildlife. When it sees the other characters approaching it murmurs "Humans are such... easy... prey.." as it sharpens its claws in anticipation.
Maybe it's hunting for the humans in the village?
Ever thought about that ?

There is one important thing about this movie and is it basically shows what a crap 40k Movie will look like use modern audience ideology. I hope the Amazon team and Cavil show this to the producers and says this is exactly what we need to avoid.
yeah, i got that vibe as well, definitely an influence
“Modern audience ideology” is a good way of saying style over substance. Thing is that’s basically how you get people into 40k. You tell them do you like space Vikings, or space elves, or Space Egyptian terminators, or Space British people. Then you’ll love 40k
And then you give them books to read up on to justify taking out a loan to afford the Custodes

We already have that movie.
It's called "Real Life"
The camera looks openly at the stunt guys as they stand around waiting for their turn to attack the female protagonist. They're checking their phones, relaxed....
I can picture when Zach Snyder was making this movie he was imagining the audience's reaction like that scene from A Christmas Story when Ralphie imagines his teacher's reaction to his essay. "This is the greatest thing we've ever seen. Zach, you're a genius, a prodigy, a true visionary. A+++++++."
Ah I'm relieved to learn that slow motion is still more than 60% of the movie. Never change Zack
No please change Zack
That alone would have convinced me to never watch this movie. I despise slow motion action scenes.
@@M_k-zi3tnYou want Zack to become a wamyn?
@@The13thRonin that'd probably be better
So much that the running time should probably have an asterisk.
There’s not a single original idea in this movie. The fact that Snyder convinced someone to finance this is remarkable. I think he’s the greatest used car salesman this world has ever seen.
I'm not even sure the lack of originality is the worst part. Lack of originality doesn't in itself preclude good storytelling or at least a respectable presentation of well tested ideas. No, what we have here is actual rubbish.
The script felt like something a 12 year old's writers work shop would spit out in an afternoon as a first draft. Also, the performances were wooden. The pacing was coma inducing. The visual effects are just your basic CGI vomit. And the whole production, for whatever it may have been worth, was cheesier than Velveeta down to the last frame. The fact that the subject matter itself is cliché and derivative is besides the point. The point is it's just really, really bad film making in general.
How do people like Zach Snyder get nice things? He's a no talent hack.
@@joshl6275coma inducing 😂awesome.
Zach Synder's obsession with slow motion, and slow actors is mind boggling.
He's a hack.
And sexual violence. The men try to rape the girl, then the alien makes advances on the man, and God knows what will be in the longer director's cut. Sodomy Beyond the Stars!

What's not believable about a 5'4" 115lb woman being able to beat men twice her size and weight? Oh, everything you say?
I could buy into it a bit more if she was faster / more agile or showed some obvious skills. Imagine a souped up version of Black Widow. Heck, show *why* she is supposed to be called Scar Giver, may have her slicing up opponents in a blurred frenzy of sharp objects. That would even give the 'excuse' for using slow motion during the fights.
@@ptonpcher being agile doesn't make it any more realistic, because she just wouldn't have the power or punch resistance to go up against men like that. It's total bs that she could be punched in the face and still be ok. Same with other cringe feminist characters like black Widow - 7 stone, 5"3 Scarlett Johansson beating men up twice her size. How? Because... feminism
@@JohnSmith-bu3fw At least it would be an in universe reason for her winning. Women *can* be fast and skilled. Many years ago, I knew a swords-woman. She was pretty small but she was incredibly good, able to take on multiple opponents at once (none of the old waiting for each person's turn). If you counted on skill and speed against her, she could easily beat you. Instead you had to rely on brute strength and stamina against her.
At the end of each night, she would fight multiple opponents at once, she didn't win all the time but it was usually a close thing.
I'm not saying that level of skill and speed is is common but it *is* possible.
If you're going to claim it isn't then I know you do not go outside your own little social circle.
Now imagine a fight scene where the protagonist is fast and skilled enough to slice up their opponent but can't do it for long. Suddenly you have a time limit and the danger of an opponent being able to defeat the protagonist simply by being bigger and stronger with a skill level that means they can survive long enough bring their strength etc to bear.
Would it have saved this film? I don't think so but at least it would make the fights more interesting.
More like 5' 3" and barley a 100lbs
three times her weight actually
consistent theme in Zach Snyder's work = re-telling stories that already have been told more effectively in history or by other writers, while applying his own sense of uniform style and drawing attention to his choice of key moments through slow motion, usually oblivious about what really is important with the characters and the story
Nail on head....He has to be on the spectrum or something. He seems to lack true emotion himself and therefore can't convey it to the audience, so he uses slow mo and loud music to overcompensate
Zack Snyder is a guy who believes I need to see Victor Stone playing a game of football in slow motion, but him getting hit by a car should be a jumpscare.
He is also the guy who believes I need to see a single CGI sesame seed and some wiener hotdogs in slow motion. But then Flash saving people from Parademons must have Flash walk up the stairs like a child who's come home from a bad day at school.
It's probably the reason he completely missed the point of Watchmen...a book about how pathetic comic book vigilantes would be in real life.
Snyder read it and thought "Wow, I should make these guys look extremely cool and badass with endless slow mo shots of them punching through walls."
@@TheRockerX nope. you snyder haters are both wrong and weirdly angry about the decisions a director makes when he makes his own versions of films, yet you still go out of your way to watch them and then bash on them. have you got nothing better to do? lmao you do guys think movies like the last jedi and barbie are masterpieces. gtfo

Nobody even talks about the end fight where she “broke his arm” but bent it the way it naturally bends… 😂
I wrestled most of my life. I've had grown men, from a squared position, grab my wrist and THORW their bodies backwards, through the air, and draw my arms, fully extended down towards the ground from my stranded squatted position and I've NEVER cried out in pain nor felt any sort of pain and this was motions that preceeded my body and face slamming onto mat. They can't make women look too powerful or it's straight up fake, but they also can't make it look real because we all know it's not. They keep trying to make women out to be stronger than men. Bruh, our wrestling team like all others were coed. We had AMAZING women on the teams, but there were ZERO women on our varsity or at the state meets. This imaginary reality where women are better than men needs to relax. It's gonna get a lot of women obnoxiously beat up smh for no reason.
Give these whores a god damn Ironman suit and go ham, idgaf! But this shit is beyond stupid now.
Not even just that, but when a man in these movies hit the woman, she's like, not phased, bruh, cut that garbage out! When a man hits a woman with even half force, the women are down and out and are now in their fight or flight. It's ridiculous.
Yeah I noticed that and was quite confused.
After watching amazingly choreographed action scenes from movies like John Wick 4 and Extraction 2 IN NORMAL SPEED Rebel Moon just looks dated with the constant slo-mo sequences.
I’m starting to wonder whether the BvS warehouse sequence was directed by Snyder or if it was actually done by the second unit team given that it doesn’t have any of Snyder’s signature slow-mo.
Yeah, that's what I was thinking. We've kinda been spoiled with John Wick and Hell, even the Bourne and M:I movies.
But that said, I'm almost thinking that I might wait till the R-rated version hits Netflix before I watch this film. And who knows, if there's an R-rated version of Part 2, the poor reviews of Part 1 might have taught them something into releasing the R-rated version up front instead of putting out a highly butchered PG-13 version. Which that's what apparently has happened here. If you're forced to cut out so much to lower your Rating that it makes the film so disjointed, then better off not doing it. Imagine if Fox would have demanded a PG-13 version of the Deadpool movies before the eventual R-rated versions...how fucked up would that cut be? People would have roasted it for not making any sense.
So what I'm saying here is, let's not blame Zach Snyder here just yet. For all we know, the R-rated cut could be ZS's Justice League good, and this current cut could be just more proof that studios have no business dictating to directors what they should make. Because it sounds like some 40 minutes were cut out fron this Rebel Moon. Maybe even more, I don't know. So let's give Zach the benefit of the doubt and see if his Director's cut is any bettee.
Made the mistake of watching the low budget Korean film The Ballerina first - the fight scenes in that movie are 100x better than Rebel Moon.
You know, India lives its slow-motion in its movies. Bollywood movies are full of it. Hell, Southern India has four big movie industries based on their languages.
The difference between Rebel Moon and RRR is that the plot in RRR moves like a train. Yes, its over the top and dramatic. But the story and the emotion builds to the action scenes and so when the slow-motion kicks in, its actually a nice change. And even then, its not every punch.
Snyder is a guy who had a CGI sesame seed and hotdogs flying in ultra slow motion in Snyder Cut. He also has Victor Stone's football game in slow motion. Why? Wtf!
@@valentinegonsalves7322 Absolutely. You can get away with just about anything if the movie is entertaining enough so we don't notice it. 300 was like that, but Rebel Moon has all of Snyder's tropes with no fun story to balance things out.

She blond the little girl is blond it is genius. 😎
what do you mean twist? its obvious. the robot used his weapon to save her. when the movie clearly states that the robots refuse to use violence since their ruler died. thats not a twist, thats linear plot development.

I think the film has been edited this way so Zak can release the "Snyder Cut-fill in the blanks edition" can happen, complete with an extra 90 minutes of footage that asks more questions than it answers.

I have no desire to see a 4 hour cut of this movie. Will it be better? Probably. But for every plot hole filled there will be something equally stupid to go along with it.
Love that Zach bringing up the fact Disney rejected it has blown up in his face. He billed it as they didn't think it was good enough. Not the fact they were just doing the same thing. Both being as bad as the other.
The scene were they all get captured legitimately feels like a bioware rpg were you bring companions into a quest, and they stitch some dialogue in there to remind you they are with you.

This was perfect review.
Bad script, unconvincing acting, unnecessary scenes (like in many new movies/series these scenes should cause some impression/feeling by overemphasized it all), a bunch of "modern" imposed concepts (woke), ... Like everything lately, this movie was made to promote new ideology.
Space-nazi troops and their evil leader who likes to get his hands dirty, main female character who can do anything (without special powers or augmentations), weak support male character, famous general living on street or space Tarzan waiting for rescue by some super trained chick (who was just one among many other super trained solders), …
And such nonsenses in the story.
-Space Empire finds lonely planet (where people barely feed themselves) to rob them of food, and there is lone lady working in fields while everyone has fun drinking and talking about debauchery as sort of pleasing gods (guess what R version will look like). Big strong guy in community that is after girl (and no other function in movie) and some week support character that is stupid enough to talk out of line and gets leader of community killed (and everyone is ok with that). And then girl kills bunch of highly trained planet conquering thugs.
-Gathering of “heroes” (who do nothing really) to fight SPACE EMPIRE (with big ships, nukes that kill planets, space travelling technology) while wielding swords and shooting from handguns.
-Sword fight against spider-lady (with heartbreaking story about kids) is so stupid and unnecessary, same as space Tarzan with bronco handling skills or drunk washout General with guilty conscience (because generals don’t get people killed), gay-bar as pointed in video, and more.
All in all, movie doesn’t deserve high mark.
Keep up with good work.
"Sword fight against spider-lady (with heartbreaking story about kids) is so stupid and unnecessary, same as space Tarzan with bronco handling skills or drunk washout General with guilty conscience (because generals don’t get people killed), gay-bar as pointed in video, and more."

"Gathering of “heroes” (who do nothing really) to fight SPACE EMPIRE (with big ships, nukes that kill planets, space travelling technology) while wielding swords and shooting from handguns. ' To train the entire village to protect themselves like every other movie

Hah, I thought you'd cover Rebel Moon. It's the kind of thing you handle really well on this channel. I saw Rebel Moon on Christmas day, and even though I had low expectations going in, it was still a disappointment. The absolute flatness of the characters does bring things like Gotham Knights and Rings of Power to mind.
You review it really well. It does feel like a video game, mixed with scenes taken from other films.
When I saw the scene of the ship and the portal I legit laughed out loud. I'm laughing while writing this comment lol. A truly innovative vision. I couldn't make it out from the shot you presented in the video but does the ship launch smaller ships from the front once it delves inside the portal? I mean, that would be the icing on the cake if that were true.
The absolute state of Hollywood screenwriting: dumb. I'm baffled by the ability to harbor any level of ego, while producing something this abysmal. Oh but I'm sure Zach "worked really hard on it" so we shouldn't critique it because Hollywood writers and directors are essentially 5 year old children, that aren't yet developed enough to handle criticism.
It was long, slow and pointless. But the worst part for me was when it became Harry Potter. After that, it had no chance of redemption.
The Hentai scene is basically Darth Vader’s recuperation chamber.
Studio ghibli do girl bosses pretty well, so does James Cameron and Ridley Scott.
Seems like Zack Snyder played a few final fantasy games in the last eight months and just couldn't handle it
Was the royal guy and the bird scene Snyder remembering Avatar 1 and Jake mastering that giant alien bird lizard to prove himself? I swear, Rebel Moon is just a movie of trying to guess what other movie or whatever was on Snyder's mind when he imagined each scene, character or bit of dialogue.
This movie was such a let down, not cause I’m a Snyder hater but because it was the equivalent to the heist episode of Rick and Morty getting the group together just to get into the convention lmao it’s all group gathering with no payoff in the end 😂

I suspect "white guy bad" happens in real life, each time people like Larry Fink or Bob Iger, by pushing racial ideology, they turn their villainous traits into dependant of their race.
Ironically, only the white guys are allowed to have flaws, and therefore have depth and are more compelling than the dull paper cutouts they call "heroes".
The whole film felt like a video game cutscene compilation

another smelling scene just when the girl smells aquaman's sweater. Does anyone else think Snyder might be a genuine weirdo in his private life?
Merry Christmas, Disparu. Keep up the good work, mate and continue to entertain us.
I think Snyder would be better suited to making action games. Dude seems to love stylish action with very little substance on the surface. Movies don't really work with that kind of story, but video games were built off of not having to rely on storytelling to be good.
Merry Christmas Disparu, hope you have a great one
This really makes me wonder how Snider got a job at all. He demonstrates no actual writing mechanics in actually writing his own stories, the over and terrible use of slow motion is worth a Razzie, and he blatantly refuses to listen to anyone about his work. Many of the same criticisms for this can be said about his Justice League movie as well and he's clearly learned nothing or willing to listen to improve at any point.
To me, unless he has a writer that knows how to do character development, Snyder simply sucks at that aspect. Visually, his style of filmmaking is impressive.
Snyder is the definition of all style, no substance.
It used to be. Have you seen Army of the Dead, it looks like it was filmed through a layer of mud.
I really enjoyed the Dawn of the Dead remake he directed and, of course, that had a script written by James Gunn.

The movie was a nasty slog to watch despite some action scenes here and there. The dialogue interaction between characters in non action scenes just felt so boring and lifeless.
At least the bad guy is wearing a proper SS-like uniform, instead of an armor that looks like a scrotum, we all know and enjoy from other, fantastic franchise!
We don't say walking frame either. Just a "walker." First time I heard "zimmer" was in a Red Dwarf episode and I had to hunt down the definition.
"Zimmer" is German for "room", so I had absolutely no idea what a zimmer frame is supposed to be.
@@LttlemoiSo Hans Zimmer is “Hans Walker” in German? Interesting
No, no, Hans Room "I did not hit her!"@@manicpixiefangirl4189
Seeing this a little late, but Merry Christmas to you as well! Definitely will avoid this hodge podge disaster of a spliced film reel, lol.
Was doing chores, and I get the perfect content to listen to--cheers
You can definitely tell Snyder movies apart from others with his love of slow motion. It's similar to Michael Bay slow-mo but still distinct.
Man that wormhole though. LMFAO it's hard to believe its shape wasn't on purpose, I mean it looks so much like a snapper it's hard to think otherwise.
Snyder also had certain imagery in Man of Steel and other DCEU movies. So it was definitely on purpose.
Clearly the Director and writers hadn't watched The Lord of the Rings Trilogy 😂
I have to say I was genuinely shocked and relieved that it was well lit.
I was so sick of the too dark crap in past ZS productions.
Why does everyone keep saying this movie looks good?!?! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills! The CGI is atrocious (with the exception of Jimmy the robot), the backdrops are flat and ugly, the use of green screen couldn't be more apparent, the ships look extremely plain with very little detail, and the use of an anamorphic T1.5 lens is baffling. Anyone else know what I'm talking about?
because it looks better than most of the slop we have seen in the last 15 years and for some reason everyone memory holes Avatar. But yeah it looks like trash
Never laughed more than with this review 😂 Loved the takeaways and breakdown, and the sarcasm - I'm here for it. Love your work!
What we need is more girl-boss action; there simply isn't enough of it
How about more original comments and not copied and pasted regurgitations?
@@doc8013 bots are gonna bot
@@marcogenovesi8570what happens when bots are expressing the wildly popular opinion of the masses?
@@mistersparkles1842It results in the above commenters having an even worse lefty meltdown.
@@mistersparkles1842 that they get engagement and keep high their "not a bot" score. Copying someone else's high voted comment is an easy way to fake being a human.
There were at least 4 or 5 comments saying the same thing when I posted my reply
Alwyn love how a 5 foot woman, with tooth picks for arms can beat up a room full of Men! Totally believable!
I honestly can't watch 99.9% of everything they are making. I've actually gone as far back as the 1940s just to find things to watch. I will be watching A Muppet Christmas Carol later, the last great movie ever made 😁
It's brought up because in the next movie we're going to find out the blonde girl from the farm is actually princess issa... And we're all going to be TERRIBLY surprised.. then won't you feel silly.
Obviously, otherwise the robot wouldnt have shot anyone to defend her. Its not even worth calling that a plot twist.
If "Rebel Moon" is not an Intellectual Property... can I copy it? ...As they did with so many original stories.
I love how all modern movies are filled with predictable tropes that very overused and tired out now.
Thank you for all the great videos this year. Hope you have a Merry Christmas.
I wonder if the movie is so long (both parts counted) is because everything is in slow motion... including the dialogue
Character development, macguffin hunting, plot, ad infinitum ...
@@toolegittoquit_001 character development? No sir there was none of that. Only info dumps and slow motion
Marry Christmas mate, have a good one and thanks for the Review
always a pleasure to watch what you make, generally to lift my day
you are the best funniest reviewer ever, Merry Christmas Disparu!
To be fair, no soldier with common sense would just rush in and blindly grab her from that angle they showed, when she has a rifle in her hand, firing it with her feet planted and she’s liable to pivot and put 2 in his stomach. Conceptually, he’s not trying to end up living with a shitbag for the rest of his life. 😂😂😂
