Hey Zach, not every action scene needs slow motion. For fucks sake

More garbage from Zaddy, this is a modern blueprint for what not to do when you’re making operatic sci-fi/fantasy. You could point at the obvious issues, such as the worldbuilding and story ripping off every other property in existence without putting much of its own spin on it (_Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Dune, Harry Potter, Mad Max, Excalibur, Seven Samurai, The Matrix_ to only name a few), but that doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what’s wrong here. Snyder’s often praised for being this great visual stylist, but with _Rebel Moon_ he might just deliver his most poorly directed film. Multiple shots are out of focus, the score is really manipulative and overblown, the staging of the action feels amateurish, there’s often a lack of proper depth of field (it kinda feels like those _Star Wars_ shows on D+ due to the poor use of the volume stages) and he’s generally wanking off way too much with all the slo-mo here. Moreover, this has one of the worst scripts of the year due to all of the cheesy, overwitten dialogue and ridiculous amounts of exposition. It’s very hard to find a scene in this where the presentation and writing are somewhat organic or manage to create meaning in a way that feels artistically instinctual. Instead, it’s this lifeless mismatch of stale ideas. Add to that the fact that Snyder doesn’t know how to emphasize the strengths of the limited performers he’s working with here (besides Hounsou and Hopkins, who can handle themselves regardless of the director), and you can only conclude that Disney made the right decision by rejecting this. 1.5/10

Feels like a star wars fan fiction written by a middle schooler during lunch break. Totally unoriginal and uninspiring. Everything from dialogue to the characters and plot is mind jarringly cliched and predictable. With that being said, I don't watch much space movies if any. so I'd be lying if I said I didn't mildly enjoy it. And also credit to where credit is due. the visuals are outstanding. If a movie that looks like this costs 88 millions a pop, my kuddos to the production team. They certainly know how to handle their budget. And to finally to sum it up, some people will say it's absolute garbage some will defend it with their lives. But the truth is... it's just... very average.

I seem to be one of the few that actually really enjoyed it. Some people are saying that it's too vague and messy with different SFF tropes being mashed together, but for me, it gave the exact kind of vibe that I get from the 40k Universe, which is wildly popular. I don't really get the hate, but maybe it's from a wider crowd that isn't a fan of 40k. *shrugs*

Nice movie! Don’t mind the negative comments. Can’t wait for the second one!
