Rebel Moon - Star Wars But Not Star Wars

It’s been hilarious seeing those fanboys write reviews where they try to find positive things to say about the film, or insist on an apparently upcoming director’s cut will vindicate them.

This and Aquaman 2. Perfect way to end the decade-long disaster that was the DCEU.

The fact that it's just being described as "Star Wars mixed with Magnificent Seven" lets you easily imagine how the plot's going to go.

But...

Huh. You know what? I'm not even going there.

Snyder is gloriously terrible. He needs to make more insane, massively loss-making shit like the snyder cut justice league, instead of derivative, studio-pandering schlock. Preferably while financially destroying a production studio.

Okay, when I first saw this topic, I thought "is this about that novel I kept seeing in dollar stores that claims to be based off a computer game I've never heard of?"

Cuz lately my life has been about random shit like this suddenly getting referenced out of nowhere.

having pushed everyone with an original thought out of the writing room, big companies now scramble to adapt any little somewhat successful or known thing not on the big screen
take the fucking western anime live adaptions on netflix for example
jesus christ

Wait so its literally based on that novel/computer game?

Because after reading the OP and a few posts I thought this was a case of "two unrelated things that just happen to have the same title."
 
I read the synopsis and it sounds like an unholy combination of TFA lack of originality and Rogue One "team of badasses" with a surprise dark end. The question if the second part will because it is contractually obligated.

It's not, actually. Thank god. I mean, the overall situation of media is shit, but it's not as bad as I thought it would be, though it kind of still is.

try watching it
nah, just kidding
 
The planet is called Veld, and 20 minutes into the movie, someone says "Voetsek". Very subtle.
 
I can't be the only one who some Wh40k vibes from it?
The laser guns are pretty smilare ot the lasgun from 40k and the army uniforms look like Cadians.
Anyway, I found the film to be very very messy.
I had a hard time following what was going on and the protagonist is not very compelling( I can't name any of the main good guys).
The first 15 min when Admiral von Muderall going to the village is pretty good and I like how he fucked with the village leader.
After that, I got bored.
It took me a few days to watch it all.
Best part is Admiral von Murderall. He is such a fucking pos and smug asshole. I love him.
I am not sure if I am invested enough to watch the R-cut when it come out.
overall, I would rate it a meh.
I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it.
I was mostly bored.

I watched Rebel Moon (free) and I have only one word to sum it up:

Content.

This was blatantly derivative content cobbled from scenes of (better?) movies, a team of varyingly brown good guys, evil whiteys in (not WH40k commissar uniforms) who are supposed to be threatening but their general incompetence makes the stakes largely non-existent/irrelevant.

That was the first one he wrote himself. Nice to see he's still absolute shit at it. God, what a retarded movie, felt like 3 music videos stitched together under the double narrative of the whorehouse and asylum.

I can still remember perfectly when I checked out of the movie. When the main girl gets decked by the giant samurai and she was totally fine. That showed me there were 0 stakes to the action scenes, they were just noise.

It's working on the notion that anyone cares for it. I haven't heard anything on the film, it looks like it's DoA.

I didn't know this was a thing till it came up while hanging out with some friends. About how it was a shitshow and some crap about paid reviews to bomb it, though after learning it was a Zach Snyder production and the word of mouth here, I'm sure the bomb stuff is bullshit or wasted money.

My sides when the Great General Titus (who they call a genius) is a Petrol Sniffing Abo.

I guess they needed someone to enter the DreamWorld.

When I saw adverts for this on the street, I just thought it was some random sci fi shit that Netflix was pushing, never even gave it a second though due to how that poster just looks like a burger king kids club (minus whitey) larping.

Just finished watching this and honestly feels like this was supposed to be one 4 hour movie instead of 2 two hour movies. Maybe watching them together might help. Apart from that as someone who'll defend Suckerpunch all I can say is meh, it was alright when it got going.

Because they make the women, even the alien ones, look attractive and not like they’re from nu-Mad Max.

They also try to hype up a gladiator colosseum fight in that scene only for the movie to completely skip it.

This dialogue in the film is like parody.

There’s a scene where they find that the contact they need to reach the Rebels has been captured, and the lady protagonist ask if there is any other way to contact them, and the dude said there was none, and that the Rebels told him they would be in ____ location under ____.

Which begs the question of what the whole point was of trying to find the contact in the first place.
