Sci-Fi Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon | Netflix

[Comicbookguy339]

Finished the novelization. In a weird way it's better in written form. The exposition dumps don't feel so excessive as you can take in the information at your own pace. Characters narrating their backstories to each other is not very cinematic but in book from it's not egregious. The fact that we get in some of the characters' heads also helps. And as funny as that sounds, the action sequences feel more coherent than they do in the movie.

Enjoyed part 1 and very excited for this world and characters. But I wish we could’ve just gotten the directors cut right off the bat. Really wanna see that version.

Just discovered that Netflix has a page dedicated to the lore of Rebel Moon. There's some info here that maybe should have been in the actual movie.

No, Rebel Moon is not one of the worst movies ever made.

Quite a few critics have put it on their list of the worst movies of 2023. There's just something about Snyder's movies that rubs a lot of people the wrong way.

The lack of quality?

The lack of quality?

But seriously, people actively hate him as a director and his movies.

 

[Deck Rickard]

I mean, Snyder did that to himself by making bad movies and then egging on his online cult. He could have used his influence at any point to try and get those people to calm down but instead has constantly doubled down with his social media posts and statements. He knows exactly what he’s doing. And critics and moviegoers have every right to dislike him for it.

Hyperbolic trolling, to be sure. But that’s what gets the clicks. :wink: And to be fair to the author, he said: “ ‘Rebel Moon’ is… one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.” Granted, that’s a pretty low assessment. But it’s not quite as categorical as “one of the worst movies ever made.” Typically, the writer of an article doesn’t choose its title; that’s the job of an editor — who, as mentioned, wants those clicks.

I suppose it’s a bit like the Razzie Awards. Every year, there must be dozens of bad, low-budget movies that nobody has heard of. But Razzie gets the headlines by naming and shaming the bigger Hollywood films and their more famous directors and stars.

Yeah Sucker Punch was way more incoherent but this was just so drab. Most of the movie was character introductions but then the characters would just disappear into the background. The cuts to make this PG-13 were also annoyingly obvious. This had a whole bunch of actors that I really like, like Sofia Boutella, Doona Bae, Charlie Hunnam, Corey Stoll, and a whole lot more but all of them were wasted. Alfonso Herrera from Sense8 and the Exorcist tv show is apparently in this but I have no idea who the hell he played.

And man, Djimon Hounsou… Maybe he’s happy getting his coin with these bit, pointless roles like in Fast 7, Guardians, Aquaman… and I know he said he does the superhero stuff for his kids. But man he really deserves so much better.

Noble's right hand man, Cassius. He has a few lines in like two scenes. In the novelization he's an actual character and has a whole chapter dedicated to his backstory.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Wow, I totally missed Alfonso Herrera as well. He was amazing on Sense 8 and Ozark. So predictably, Snyder made him completely unnoticeable.

I rather liked Sucker Punch. (I’ve seen it three times — though, not recently.) But it might be fair to say that the various analyses of the film are more interesting than the film, itself. On one side are those who stridently repudiate Sucker Punch as anti-feminist (or “faux feminist”). On the other are those who embrace it as a pro-feminist (albeit dystopic) deconstruction. Then there’s the middle ground where critics acknowledge the positive intent of the narrative, but take issue with the execution (to one degree or another). In any case, there seems to be enough substance to the film with which the different factions can engage — and support their critiques (pro, con or mixed).

Whereas, with Rebel Moon… unless there’s more metaphor and subtext in Pt.2 or the extended cuts, the narrative (so far) seems somewhat basic and prosaic. So beyond a like/dislike reaction, there’s not really material for an in-depth discussion.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Watching Sucker Punch three times. That’s… a choice.

I've yet to get the chance to watch this. I was originally looking forward to watching this during my Christmas break but unfortunately just never got the chance. Going to try and catch it this weekend if possible.

At this point I'd probably just wait for the director's cut.

It's a pretty interesting interview.

Meanwhile, both Dune movies are PG-13.

Yeah but Rebel Moon is for grown-ups.

It's possible to like both. More sci fi we get the better for me.

I disagree with him in saying it "always has been". Audiences were generally positive about Dawn of the Dead and 300, maybe a little lukewarm about Watchmen and Man of Steel. Afterwards was when it really started to go south.
