Rebel Moon… I just need to vent
Rebel Moon… I just need to vent
I find myself compelled to cast my thoughts into the void of the internet, hoping to hear some echoes back in the form of scathing remarks that capture the absolute vapidity of this horrendous shitshow, this lamentable waste of time, manpower and bandwidth.
Just “wow”, I’m at a loss of words for how bad this movie is. I’ve watched some bad movies, and almost always at least enjoyed a scene, a one liner, a concept, but maaaaaan, it’s so bad you can’t even laugh.
Please, someone, just tear this “film” a new one so that I feel I’m not alone in my sheer hatred of this incohesive collection of not even cutting room floor worthy scenes.
I would like to know who keeps giving Zack Snyder money to make movies. I've left better story lines as stains on the side of a toilet bowl
They make money. The same reason Bay gets funded.
He does good action and could just stick with that and it would be awesome, but for some reason (i suspect it started after watchmen) he thinks he's christopher fkn nolan despite the wealth of evidence to the contrary
But the action wasn't even good here. Constant cutting makes it impossible to see what's happening on screen and the cgi also did not look good in this movie, especially for what the movie cost. And let's not even talk about fight choreography because it's basically non existent. This movie has no redeeming features.
Repeat after me: "Zack Snyder is a hack. I will avoid his films in the future."
Oh don’t get me wrong I went into the movie fully aware of that, but still, it was so much worse than I expected!
I thought it was pretty bad too.
Somehow Snyder failed on all of the following fronts of making a movie: bad story (the plot), bad script (the dialogue), bad editing (let's go planet hopping to assemble our merry crew?), bad bad bad special FX, bad overall visual appearance (every scene was clearly a green screen digital stage, the sepia color grading looked horrendous), and poor casting choices for everyone.
Sophia whatshername cannot act unless you call "making one face and delivering every single line with a flat emotionless affectation" acting. The only role she fit into was when she was the knife leg assassin in one of the Kingsmen movies because she had like 3 spoken lines in that entire film.
bad overall visual appearance (every scene was clearly a green screen digital stage, the sepia color grading looked horrendous)
This is deliberate and I don't understand how anyone thinks it looks good. It's the same as the recent zombie movie he made.
I seem to remember Sofia doing fine in Star Trek Beyond.
She absolutely was fine in STBeyond. Zach Snyder can't direct his actors and has no idea how to tell a story.
Great visuals. Better plots are written on bathroom stalls.
I think he did a great job... Shifting the overton window on film so much that Sucker Punch is now only seen as "not great".
The premise, trailer, hype all seemed pretty cool. And it's Snyder so we know it's going to suck. So somehow we watch the whole thing to the end, forgiving the sucky stuff because we knew it was coming. What kind of brain hack is this?
it’s no longer a mystery why Disney turned down Snyder’s pitch for a Star Wars movie, if that ever even happened and wasn’t just a story fabricated to drum up hype.
I'm going to be the weird one and say that I quite enjoyed it. However, I'm waiting for the longer, more violent cut releasing later this year. The film clearly should have more blood and there definitely needs to be more characterisation.
It feels like Netflix wanted a shorter, more sanitised version to speak to a larger audience. Netflix does Star Wars (or A Bug's Life 😄).
I turned it off after she gave the dude "fuck-me" eyes at the barn dance three minutes in.
I'm glad I didn't really get excited. The only thing that I was interested in was the robit (Jimmy) but I hear he didn't have much screen time. Maybe there's more that people haven't uploaded to YT, but of the 3 scenes I've seen one of them he just runs in+pulls a trigger+runs back out. EDIT: For what it's worth that is actually a payoff moment
I sort of hoped he'd be a cyborg and they'd go into that (or robot autonomy), but that's definitely too much to ask when they can't even do the basic shallow stuff right.
Watching that movie is like having liquid dog shit blasted directly into your eyes
From the source or via pump?
This movie honestly started as a Star Wars script. And if made in that universe, it would have made the sequel trilogy look good in comparison. Now it's like Netflix ordered a new Star Wars movie from Wish.com.
I think there are two YouTube vids that are worthwhile:
Critical Drinker https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yDHgA5e2du8
Pitch Meeting https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gzczijDtnFY
I must admit, I saw the videos before watching the movie. Based on the content of the videos, decided I could skip watching the movie. I imagine PipedBot will be along shortly with the other links.
As always, that Pitch Meeting hits every major point perfectly. I fell asleep trying to get through this movie twice.
This video does a good job of tearing Rebel Moon a new one. It's a bit on the long side though.
It's longer than the movie
He's got a lot to say.
I thought it was ok. Maybe you’re just too picky.
It’s not meant to be Solaris.
