Rebel Moon Part 2: The Snyder Strikes Back 

Their catering budget wouldn’t cover the budget of Seven Samurai and they still can’t copy a great film.

I think homeboy at the beginning was stroking out while fighting with autocorrect.

I’m not surprised but this is a great video editing wise and voice over. Great job

The reason this movie feels like a bunch of concepts thrown together is because it is. Snyder literally watched other movies, took what he thought was cool and threw it into his script without understanding why the cool stuff worked in other films. Totally agree with you on why a concept used in Seven Samurai, Magnificent Seven and A Bug's Life works in those movies, but not in Rebel Moon. Said as much in my first RM video. The fact that Snyder has Noble disregard the grain once he knows the Scargiver is on his ship just shows it wasn't all that important to begin with, so why the dreadnought didn't immediately open fire on the village makes the empire look incompetent and unable to problem-solve a very simple task.

one youtuber asked why someone created gauntlets that required the wearer to chop their arms off first? you could argue that they were designed for someone who had no arms but we all know Zack Snider, a guy who doesn't know how gravity works, not even instinctively despite living on earth more than four decades, would not have thought of that.

I wanted t add do your comments on the necessity of Director's Cuts. Typically the whole reason for their existence is to complete a movie as the director would have originally intended because they were unable to, usually because of studio mandates; cutting violence to secure a lower age rating, reducing runtime to allow for more cinema screenings in a day, changing story elements in the response to test screenings, etc. There's no way Netflix did any of that, there was no reason Snyder couldn't have given audiences his definitive version straight out of the gate. The original cuts of both Rebel Moon movies are made for absolutely no one.

Have to agree with you Thomas, I like quite a few of Snyder's movies as well. He has done some terrific stuff, but it seems these days. Well I am reminded of the line from Top Gun, 'Your Ego Is Writing Cheques Your Body Can't Cash!' To create Rebel Moon Snyder and his writers steal....I mean borrow from a dozen different sci-fi books and movies and ended up creating a steaming pile of stuff that comes out of the south end of a north bound cow. I very much doubt six hours of director, R rated cuts of the two movies will be better. As for you being a paid shill for Disney, come on sir come clean. I remember seeing those gold plated Mickey Mouse ears on your book shelf in your earlier videos!🤣 Excellent review of this Snyder train wreck sir, well done!

Sweet lamb Sofia with her teenage face, body and voice - a veteran stormtrooper...🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️ Snyder, this is a very funny joke!👍👍👍🤣🤣🤣💥

The robot took out one of those walkers by itself. Where was it while the battle was raging and people were dying? And the guy running towards lasers while holding 2 axes? Garbage!

I couldn't force myself through rebel moon. It was horrible.

This film doesn't have a DP(director of photography), or i should say, Zack Snyder is both the overall director and the DP. This might explain some of the problem.

"Du et. DOO EET! Kill hur!" What is it with that delivery? You say "Irish accent". To me, it sounds like Jackie Chan trying to replicate English dialogue phonetically despite not speaking English.

was the Irish accent you? also loved you committed to the bit with the black and white 4:3 ratio

I think the film benefits from being b/w.

I didn’t mind part 1 but part 2 went downhill fast. Action could be cool but I didn’t care about anything that was happening. With 4hrs of screen time Snyder still failed to get me attached to these characters. I was just bored. I’m done with this franchise now. Great review!

The Extended Cut of Aliens is actually an objectively worse version of the Theatrical cut. A lot of what it adds is padding, but the addition of footage of the colony from before they discovered the Hive completely kneecaps the story. Aliens derives a tremendous amount of tension from dropping the Marines into a situation that neither they nor the audience understand, putting us all in a position of having to figure out context. By explaining that context beforehand, you render half the movie pointless because there's no more suspense.

Snyder has talent, but not one of a writer, he could have directed amazing movies if he selected scripts better. Such a shame.

I applaud Zack Snyder for what he tried to do, i.e.: Disney wouldn't let him do a Star Wars story, so he made his own with Blackjack and Hookers. However, it just wasn't done very well. Another example would be Seth MacFarlane, who essentially did the same with Star Trek, so he made "The Orville" instead. Difference is he understood what made Star Trek good, and did his own version with that in mind. Frankly, I would like to see the R-Rated 'Snyder Cut' of both movies, maybe he will go back and re-film sequences taking all the critiques of these versions into account.

The single worst working director imo

i dont get how someone can think all this is better than disney star wars? hahahahahaha star wars is bad, but this is not better, and thats being kind, if you listen to one of snyder's laugh, it doesnt sound like a guy who is sure of himself, or even a "nice guy" its sounded more like a brown nose office weisel, and that dont come from hate, its simple observation, that kind of guy should not helm or be a "leader" of anything

Those coal furnaces remind me of Ruin Johnson and his molasses-slow heavy bombers. Why are these things in the movie, when the current technology is light years ahead of them? In Star Wars canon, the Hyperdrive is already well-established way before the sequel trilogy was even conceived, yet Johnson wanted to show this head scratching battle scene where he obviously took a page from WWII tactics: surround the slow bombers with agile fighter planes to defend them while they fly towards their target. Why did he do this? Only because by how own admission he loved WWII bombers, and wanted to replicate it. In a Star Wars movie. Those bombers shouldn't have moved at a glacial pace in a universe where Hyperdrive exist, Johnson! Why would anyone intentionally design a ship like that when the tactic is outdated? Like you said, a little logic, please. These directors are self-indulgent dumbasses.

Mad max has the same thing.. music is played as the action takes place. Doof drums are a waist.

dsiney + star wars = I don't watch, period
