Rebel Moon part 2 is a movie I don’t regret watching because I got to make this video about it. But if you’re simply looking for something to watch, Rebel Moon 2 isn’t it. After spending the week discussing the movie on BSUP and Critical Drinker’s Open Bar, it’s time for a review.

    If Zach Snyder doesn't care how the ships function, then why show us anything at all? By showing a boiler room and some kind of god-thing, he actually creates questions that the audience would not have asked. It's a spaceship, it flies in space, you literally could just say nothing about the technical details and everyone would have accepted that premise. But no, instead because I guess boiler rooms are cool or something, we now have ships that demand further explanation. This is like some kind of anti-writing or something, it's uncanny.

    If Kathleen Kennedy turned something down, you know it’s bad
  • @leriava
    And to think there are 1000s of amazing scripts who will never get turned into a movie while this kind of abomination does is truly disheartening
  • @LetsGetitBoah
    The slow-mo wheat gathering scene....was something.
  • @tmoney360
    Snyder is a combination of the worst aspects of a dudeBro and an edgelord with the writing ability of a third grader and unearned Messiah complex of a cult leader.
  • Luckily, for me, there have been and always will be exactly zero Rebel Moons.

    That royal family assassination scene is bad in literally every aspect. Boss man orders her to kill the girl, she does it, he swore he'd protect her, then he just betrays her literally instantly, doesn't even get her unarmed first. It's pointless and actively ruined his plans! He planned to kill them and had a LOT of support! He betrayed her because he's evil, and Snyder thinks this is how evil rulers act. I think he read somewhere audiences want more straight up villains and misunderstood what that meant. So these guys just take the shittiest option cause ooooh they bad! It's literally an evil DnD campaign full of players that don't know what evil people actually DO. They just walk into a city and immediately burn down an orphanage because it'd be super funny before trying to rape 20 barmaids before the DM gets up and leaves.

    This script wasn't good enough for Disney Star Wars!!! let that sink in...
  • @SaperBossTv
    Not gonna lie, when General Noble was all up Kara's face and screaming "Look at me!" While making those crazy ass faces genuinely made me laugh.
  • That "multiple character development" scene felt like the cringiest first session of a D&D campaign ever where the players each introduce their characters. And the players know fuck-all about character creation, D&D, fantasy settings in general, or human beings.
  • @joshfatal
    "Like if Jim Carrey did Ace Ventura 3 and just talked out of his ass for two hours" Still sounds far more entertaining than the entirety of MCU Phase 4.
  • "I didn't want to kill a little girl!" "Yeah, that would be a pretty awful thing to do." "No, I just don't want to suffer consequences if I do it." "Oh.....so you're just an asshole then."
  • @UnAssimilated1
    I didnt believe internet saying how bad it is, after watching it for myself, it's somehow even worse then you think
  • @maxmazzotti6651
    Balisarius looks like that creepy uncle who never gets invited to any family gatherings
  • @zaxx
    Consider this: Admiral Lloyd Christmas has his entire body reconstituted, with some enhancements.....but also with the same awful teeth and embarrassing haircut.

    Nah, let 'em continue to make this garbage. Just don't watch it. Let the studios fail, let it all fall down. “Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.” - Napoleon Bonaparte

    Considering how much time he spent on the damned harvest, you'd think he'd get that right, at least... but nope. The man couldn't even film harvesting in the proper order- let alone craft the nuances & complexities necessary for a modern space epic, such as he's supposedly imagining. I found myself screaming, "That is not the order of how you harvest a crop!" You reap first, bind the sheaves into bundles- not those piddly little handfuls (or just do it for a handful, & fork the rest into a sideless 'vehicle'- what the?!), 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 for use, because it lasted longer in that form -- hope you lot like the taste of weevils & rancid flour... And it's just such a stupid premise in the first movie; an imperial commander getting pissy about some inconsequential village wanting to do the normal thing & keep some of their harvest back for next season's planting- & him stupidly wanting to wipe them out because of that?! It's one lousy village - take what they're able to offer, & then 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." This isn't even getting into the actual *big* issues of characters, characterisation, dialogue, or action -- it's just in relation to the initial premise, & then the harvesting. Seriously, it's just a highly flawed premise, from the get-go...
  • @slvr236
    Snyder needs a writer partner and reality check. sheesh

    Never thought there's something more miserable than an idea of Batman fighting Superman being thrown into the gutter. Zack Snyder said 'hold my sewer water script'
