I will get around to watching Rebel Moon but struggle to get enthusatic enough to do it.
Maybe there's something more to the "Director's Second Cut for no particular reason other than that's his thing now", but good god-damn, the first version of the first one was terrible. Imagine the crappy scriptwriiting and line delivery of the Star Wars prequels, the lazy worldbuilding of the Star Wars sequels, the inexplicably awful production values of the last Ant-Man movie, and enough blood-soaked 13-year-old-boy "badassery" to make Elon Musk proud. Then imagine all of it padded out with dozens of tedious slow-motion scenes that make you actually question how many pages he managed to write.
It's fucking awful. Not in a good way, it's just bad. Don't bother.
I love sci-fi but it was so bad.
Haven't seen the directors cut yet but I liked the movies. It's cool action scifi, you're not getting Nolan level brain teasers but it looks sick as fuck and it's a wild ride.
Watch it when you're in the mood for a spectacle.
There's a huge difference between the detailed and believable world building that JRR Tolkien does, and having a bunch of mystery boxes you don't flush out.
I think the movie tried the lazy version of building an epic universe by lots of low effort references to things that aren't defined, but nothing feels like it's actually connected or thought through.
I waited to for the director’s to watch this in the hopes it was better than the poorly reviewed original cut. Unfortunately so far it feels like he must have filled in all the extra runtime with more slow motion shots. Like so many slow motion shots. Maybe if he’d cut some of those he would have had less need for all the exposition dumps.
Like so many of his films Rebel Moon is a collection of beautiful moments with very little to hold them all together.
Well fuck now I have to waste another entire work day to watch the updated version and hate it even more
You can still hate it without it consuming your time. You've got my permission. Waste time doing something else perhaps.
Sorry
I really enjoyed both films despite their shortcomings. They definitely felt censored with lots of character buildup missing.
Just gotta find the time to watch these directors cuts!
I could not.
The first was legitimately the worst movie I had ever seen, and I went into it expecting people's criticism to be hating just to hate.
I was genuinely surprised.
This is the sort of movie that I'll watch only if it's free and only if it's on while I'm washing the dishes or mopping the floor or something.
It's only worth watching when you're not home and your dog is bored.
