Sci-Fi Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon | Netflix

[Drizzle]

The funniest end result would be if these new cuts were actually good. The PG-13 Rebel Moon's are probably the worst movies out of Snyder's entire filmography, just unredeemable slop.

I still hate Sucker Punch the most but that was more "This is embarrassing to watch" bad while Rebel Moon was more just plain old boring, especially the second one.

The second one is hilarious, with them sitting around the table just doing exposition.

Was that the part where they're all going over their cliche backstories? I can't remember because this was how my brain activity was looking during my Part 2 watch:

It was indeed.

I think my only real positive takeaway from Part 2 was, "Hey, at least Djimon Hounsou is playing a lead in this and he's not just a glorified cameo for once".

I loved Sucker Punch so much growing up that I even owned the (still brilliant) soundtrack on CD. I haven't dared to go back, I just know it's going to be rough as hell watching it as an adult.

I do remember being okay with the soundtrack at least.

The Panic Switch needle drop in the trailer was pretty cool.

What's crazy is visually Sucker Punch looks better than Rebel Moon because they shot it on film even though the vfx looks worse.

How come some people (non-Snyderverse crazies) are saying they're better though?

There are people who think "edgier" equals better. I haven't seen them and I'm not planning to, but this is very on par with Snyder's work in general. If you liked his movie you're going to like his director's cut more. If you hated his movie, the director's cut is even more insufferable.

I'm gonna wait for one of you brave souls to tell me if the DC's are worth watching or not even in a "so bad its good" kind of way.

This seems like a level headed review of the DC’s. He says that the slow mo is actually drastically reduced in these cuts and that was a BIG peeve of mine in the OGs. He also says theres a lot more character development. May give these a whirl.

6 hours of content. Are you ready?

It's only reduced in the sense that with a longer runtime the slomo feels less pervasive.

I've watched both parts now. Character work is still weak but it no longer feels like a cliffnotes version of a movie. Once again, Snyder made a super long film that you can't really cut down and still have it make sense.

The gore is excessive. Every time a character gets shot they basically explode. There are so many head explosions that you get desensitized to it pretty fast. Even when the villagers win in the end, you're left thinking about how many got brutally slaughtered on screen.

I watched about 40 mins of it and I'm not in a rush to finish it, dont know if i ever will. The opening extended action scene was engaging at first but then Snyder leans into these really gross gratuitous tendencies that really put me off. I dont know why the guy felt the need to make this so excessively violent and cruel.

Mean and cruel is exactly how I'd describe this director's cut. Some of it is downright sadistic.

Wait, are these Snyder's most violent films now?

 

[kguillou]

By FAR. Its incredibly off putting and disturbing. I now see why Netflix demanded a PG-13 cut.

Brains bashed in, arms and legs cut off, heads exploded, women stripped naked and branded with hot irons...

 

[DarkKnight88]

He’s trying to do his Heavy Metal homage. It’s not my appeal, but it’s so cartoony like 300 that it just doesn’t have any impact anyway.

Neither version is worth it but the PG-13 is even more pointless as like a PG-13 version of 300.
