_Edit: So I saw the Snyder-chat on The Slow Mo Guys 2 (youtube) and I have to say it actually made me appreciate the "nerdiness" a little bit more. Weird how that works._ Well this was shit. Are they still planning to make 4 more of these movies? Is this some sort of money laundering scheme? It's 90% visuals and 10% story, and it kind of feels like they're trying to speed-run the emotional connections to\between characters like we're playing a Bethesda RPG game.

When you take a turned down Star Wars script and try to make it something else. It’s wannabe Star Wars, not Star Wars. Snyder fans will call it a masterpiece but Dune Part 2 was a masterpiece. The film relies on a romance with no chemistry. Action that is neither fun or engaging. Held back by too much slow motion as well. Snyder apparently has a 3rd film planned. The more he drags out this thin story. The more I understand why it was a turned down Star Wars movie. The 3rd one needs a much better screenwriter than Snyder himself. Otherwise, I expect very bad reviews yet again.

having seen the first part, i dread to think how awful the second part will be

If this movie played at normal speed it would 30 mins long

lol wtf is the first half of this movie? Montage after montage after montage. That princess scene as well was the stupidest shit I’ve seen in a long time.

This was even worse than expected after having seen Part One. :person_facepalming:♂ What the duck, Netflix? Stop wasting my money on Zack Snyder! Part One and Two had a budget of _at least_ $166,000,000. Reading the 'Exclusive First Look' article from Vanity Fair now is unintentionally humorous. https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2023/06/zack-snyder-exclusive-first-look-rebel-moon

I honestly have no idea why all those bad comments. It's a science-fiction/action/adventure flick, it does not pretend to be anything else. So yes, there are lots of elements that come from other movies, and why not ? First of all it's a discarded Star Wars script, so of course, there will be that influence, but contrary to most of the complainers, I like that myself. It's sort of "if star wars was taking place in a parallel universe". The action scenes are great (and fie to the haters of slow mo), the suspense holds until the end. Right the romance part are a little on the nose and mechanical, but again, this is not "Love Story", it's a movie you watch for its visual and entertainment value, and on that front, I fill fulfilled. I read in one of the complainers comments that there was two more movies planned and I myself will certainly thoroughly enjoy those as I did part one and 2.

The soap opera continues with episode two. My expectations were nonexistent going in but it still managed to disappoint. We're only at part 2 out of 6 and this whole franchise is already tired and stretched out. This is a bit worse that part 1 on every level. Cringe dialogue and acting, still an imitation of many franchises, the set pieces are nothing memorable and the action has no stake because the characters and story are flat as hell. Time to pull the plug on this shit show.

Farming montages, just what I love in my sci-fi.

You could probably skip through the first hour of this and not feel as though you've missed anything. Last hour was much better.

So much cringe, so VERY MUCH CRINGE. And unnecessary slow mo in every other scene. Pretentious garbage, is what this is.

Idek

The plot is poor because it is a poor copy of several other scenarios, but half a movie of an impressive fight is enough to watch it.

From the trailer, it looks like it borrows from the Magnificent Seven. Yet Snyder fans always act like he is full of originality and sets the blue print for other filmmakers. The first film definitely borrowed from many other Science Fiction films.

How many'll skip it 'n jess wait fur the "R" version this time? (I'll be... Can't wait!)
