When I listened to the reviews and everyone is mentioning that there is a lot of slow-mo I thought "It can't be that bad". My mind is blown that he made MULTIPLE slow-mo montage of them harvesting grain.
I personally think the use of slowmo is genius. It gives you ample opportunity to reflect on all the poor decisions you've made that led to watching Rebel Moon 2.
This feels like getting an F on a test and you argued with your teacher that you should’ve gotten an A. So they stand up and start listing off two dozen plagiarized lines, grammatical errors and misspellings in front of the entire class.
Lmao me to the mom of one of my third graders who got in trouble for drawing genitals on his worksheets and showing them to classmates, when she said he was doing it because my class is too easy and he’s not challenged Ma’am your child makes Cs when he busts his ass, which is rare because in his own words “he doesn’t care about learning because he plans to drop out like you did”
I think you are all missing the point. Snyder just knows that everyone's attention spans are shrinking and many people watch content on 1.5x speed. He is just ahead of the game, making his movies look great when sped up. More total watchtime = profit. 3000IQ
Nobody has mentioned the fact Charlie has to pause the movie and take notes as he goes. He is watching the movie, stopping it, writing down the time stamp and a brief tell of what is happening. Charlie likely experienced Rebel Moon 2 for over 3 hours this way. Meaning he has endured over 5 hours worth of Rebel Moon part 2. He says he's nothing like Jesus but then dies on the cross like this for us. Martyr.
This truly is the year for movies. With great titles like Kung Fu Panda 4, Megamind vs. the Doom Syndicate, and Rebel Moon Part Two, I can not wait to see where film companies go from here. This is an experience of all time.

Don't forget to give him his dual lightsabers. Unleash his inner John Wick meets Darth Maul, henceforth presenting, Charles from Florida. 😂 I like my version better already
I cannot WAIT for the Snyder Cut of the Rebel Moon Saga. All the Rebel Moon movies together as one, ENTIRELY in Slow Motion. And the original Slow Motion shots are even SLOWER.

Rebel Moon is like if Zach Snyder watched Star Wars, then immediately played SUPERHOT, and decided to turn it into a movie. I say if but I'm pretty sure that's exactly what happened.

The phrase 'slow motion farming' was so ridiculous I snorted when I first heard it. Then Charlie proceeded to list it out a dozen more times in succession. Zack Snyder's efficient story telling on display once again.

People call Snyder "a great _visual_ filmmaker" when they're unable to find fault in your opinion on his movies, and I think that's not even true. 300 was a great looking movie, but if you'd read the comic you'd see it was because 90% of the film was shot for shot from the comic panels. The _artist_ was great at visuals, he just walked down the path laid out for him then put a 2000's video game piss filter over it. I'm almost certaim Rebel Moon has as much slo-mo as it does because people praised him for it in 300, not realizing it was used there to show off the poses from the comic without breaking the action. I think Snyder assumed slo-mo was just the ticket to success then.
Lmao I study ancient history and my lecturers hate that movie bc why tf did they do Xerxes like that??? I mean I KNOW why, Snyder said why, but it's so annoying.
100% agree with this. 300 and watchmen were pretty much 90-95 straight from the pages to the screen. Snyder fans always claim he’s such a visionary director and how great his movies look. Yet the 3 movies that they usually mention are 300, Watchmen and Dawn of the dead. Those movies he didn’t do the cinematography for, wasn’t the only producer and certainly wasn’t the only writer (I think two of those he doesn’t even have a writing credit for). So long story short is they are praising him for shit he didn’t actually do
Snyder is not even a good cinematographer, his lifelong cinematographer was Larry Fong, he started doing his own cinematography since AOTD, and it has been TERRIBLE since then, at this point I don't even know what to give him credit for, seems like he really just failed upwards throughout his entire career
Funny how Dredd, a movie with a literal drug called "Slo-Mo" has significantly less slow motion during it's runtime than any and every movie under Zack Snyder's belt.
Now all we need to do is edit the slow-mo scenes to play out in real-time. You'd trim the movie's runtime even more, effectively minimizing the waste it has already accumulated which is kinda insane
I was in my zero gravity massage chair and had it in the background I'd look over every so often and think "this scene is still going?" and would just go back to my chair half asleep
The slow motion in 300 is really well done and is still such a treat to watch today that I feel like Zach has been trying to chase that high ever since and just doesn't know why it worked in that.
it worked because he never had to put his own imput on the story or framing of that film, as it was all ready for him to adapt. Literally, he didn't change the dialogue, didn't change the framing of any of the shots. its almost completely stripped from the comic and I mean that in the best way possible. The issues arise when he has any imput at all on the story, he should honestly just have been a cinematographer because from a writing standpoint they are almost examples of what not to do.
I challenge someone to make a video called “Rebel Moon but Every Slow Motion Scene is sped up” it’s transformative so it wouldn’t get removed. I want to see it like this lol. Save us some money
Something being transformative on its own wouldn’t stop it from not being fair use as you would still be uploading the other 80% unchanged. However what the person below you said would probably be fair use since at that point the whole movie is changed.
@@jakespacepiratee3740 Yeah but fair use guidelines isn’t just about changing the original work. If someone posted the sped up scenes by themselves then they’d be fine though.
This is actually comedy... I put this movie on Friday night and i passed out within 10 minutes woke up at 6am mindblown wondering how this snoozer could be such a potent sleeping pill 🤷♂️
Three things: 1. The fact that there is an angry, passionate cult following on Zack Snyder’s work is crazy. I can understand if a filmmaker like Kubrick has a powerful fan base because, polarizing he was and is, at least his movies are actually good with great visual storytelling. Snyder’s films are hits and misses (but mostly misses). 2. Zack’s filmmaking style is like a bad truth or dare card: would you rather watch countless scenes with insufferable slow motion or bland characters giving pointless expositions at normal speed? 3. I actually find it impressive that Charlie actually took notes and gave us the exact time codes for each slow motion scene that occurred. I don’t know if he was scrubbing the film on a streaming service or f he had a stopwatch or something, but great job
I'm getting the impression that Zach Snyder is like the Ed Wood of our time. He loves films and seems like a nice guy; but he doesn't have the talent to make good movies.
his angry cult following was created all because of the negative reception of Batman v Superman and getting let go during the whole JL debacle which got them on a backlash spree.
All of Snyders successful movies have cult followings that’s why they’re so passionate. He gained a reputation for adapting comic books into movies without changing anything, something comic book fans have always wanted. 300, sin city and watchmen are his most beloved films. However, his original movies like Rebel Moon are all duds. The man should have been a comic book writer/illustrator not a movie director.
You just simply don't understand. The movie is an actual masterpiece, you just don't get it. The slowed down scenes are supposed to signify the slow dark painful moments of the characters on screen. This movie is brilliant, it made me shed TEARS. TEARS. It's so sad this movie is getting dunked on so badly, if you're still reading all I said above was cap I've never seen this movie and never will have a nice day
Rewatching Rebel Moon just to timestamp all the slow-mos is literally at the same level as that one guy saying that he can play the song better and actually delivering ultimate version of the song. You literally killed them! It was almost like I was watching villain/you slowly explaining his masterplan/how he won as the hero/snyder were dying with each new slow-mo revealed.
are you talking about the argument on RU-vid where the dude commented that he could have done so much better covering a song than OP, gets flamed for saying it, and then posts a video to prove it and does like 10x better? If so could you send me a link to the original video 😂

I'm only 7~ minutes into the video and the fact that you've mentioned like 6 slow-mo sequences during a 7 minute span of run-time is hilarious. I thought you were exaggerating a bit (I haven't seen either movie yet), but man that sounds like a kid that just saw the Matrix and decided slow-mo makes everything better lol
I'm about 90% convinced that Rebel Moon is based off a half-remembered Star Wars tabletop RPG campaign from Zack Snyder's teenage years, which he thought was so epic that he swore to his friends he'd make it into a movie someday. That's why we have the icebreaker campfire backstory dump. It's basically a crappy D&D campaign where everyone meets for no reason to go do something random, and halfway through the first session the DM says, "Ok so you start your long rest. If you guys want to share your backstories, now'd be a good time." All the upcoming sequels need is a character dying, only to be immediately replaced by their secret twin brother/sister with the exact same skill set.
I believe it was Alfred Hitchcock that said "movies are like life but without all the boring bits." Zack Snyder appears to have taken a complete 180 approach as he chooses to show only the most dull shots and then decides to stretch them out even longer via slow mo. Props to you Zachary.
@@413xmb Yes obviously they got it from Hitchcock. I was just saying it was a tech quote in Civilization, which are always famous quotes relevant to the technology.
I actually was thinking about doing something the same for my friends. To calculate the "real" length of the flick without "slo-mo". I am so glad you did "the unthinkable"... watched it twice, and actually came up with the numbers. Kudos to you.
rebel moon feels like it would've been better executed as a series with episodes but i think snyder went over the line for a series with all the slowmo. to snyder, the line is a dot and hes driving away from it. in slowmo.
Bro went from “I can’t watch this trash” to “I need to watch this trash” in 0 seconds. That’s a worldtime switch-up 180 degrees record. Charlie is undefeated!

They seem to think Netflix and Snyder didn't plan this from day one, it's actually quite genious. I mean how more obvious can it be, it took, what, a day after Part 1 before he came out and said there would be a Snyder cut?
There was quite a bit of slo-mo in Spartacus, and even with the over the top wanna be 3D CGI blood and special effects, I actually found it entertaining. Same can be said for 300 (surprise surprise), which apparently the movie's success is a major reason why Zack Snyder started using so much slo-mo. It's like ever since he's been trying to recreate that iconic "THIS IS SPARTA! " moment at every turn. Without realizing that slo-mo only hits different by adding emphasis when appropriately placed and used sparingly.
Interesting thing is that the slow motion itself isn't a problem, its how Snyder presents it and uses it unnecessarily. On the other hand there's RRR, which uses slow motions to amplify grandiose moments.
Like what other commenters have said, slow-mo is good if it amplifies important moments. In 300, the slow-mo made the movie better because it amplified the scenes.
Why did I sit through this? Why do I love your content so much, Charlie? Explain yourself. Why do I keep coming back? You literally read off a piece of paper for 25 minutes, and I watched the entire video. Even so, I'll still return for every new video to listen to you talk for 30 minutes. What is wrong with me? What is wrong with us? How does this video have 100,000 views in just 10 minutes? How? Why?
He's interesting, and his takes are mostly based. I prefer to hear about moist's reviews instead of physically going to the theaters and possibly waste my time + 30 to 50 bucks worth of food
I honestly totally get the use of slow mo in stuff like black adam or flash, because its characters that can move faster than you can comprehend so slow mo shows how fast they are and what theyre doing, but this amount of slow mo in a movie like this is just egregious
