Rebel Moon - Parte 2: la sfregiatrice

This has been bothering me for a day or so now. I have literally never written a review before. But, I had to share what I'm seeing with others.

I've seen people compare this movie/movies to Star wars and Akira Kurosawa's The Hidden Fortress. But I mean a small town being pushed around by a massive force. Who looks for warriors to help keep their town.

Anyways, it's not bad but not great either. It's a nice action movie for at home viewing. If your looking for a strong story or edge of your seat action. Then this movie isn't for you. But if you're looking for something to watch on Saturday night then just have fun and don't think about it.

I so wanted to be positive about it but it is so bad. The budget has been blown on special effects and no script. It's like one of those rip off B movies you get on the free to view movie channels. I just don't understand why it was made. The Creator and both the recent Godzilla films are far superior to this. The only reason I am giving this a 4 is for some of the special effects and action scenes- the acting is so wooden especially when they tell each other about their pasts. Part 1 is superior but I would stil only give it 5 as it at least attempts a Magnificent 7 in space type film. This was just a waste of space.

Watched both the parts together. I have no clue how my brain is functioning properly.

Positives : CGI, Costume Design, Cinematography Negatives : Pretty much everything else. Script/ Story made no sense. Seems like a high school kid wrote it. Expected better from Snyder.

Dialogues are trash Acting is non-existent. Even the most emotional scenes are laughable

It is just like an old western where a group of people band together to fight a common enemy except this movie tales place in space. The movie added nothing new just copy pasted the stale idea. I am not sure why Zack was so excited for this movie. The first part was watchable (it sucked) but the 2nd part made no sense.

Watch it only if you have time and brain cells to kill.

In a world where mankind travels in spaceships next to black holes, a bunch of people and animals dragging a spaceship around must be the lowest point of the movie.

Story is total trash. Didn't make sense from the first part. Ain't getting better in the second.

Characters are totally unrelatable. Their backstories and motivations complete nonsense, irrelevant and told in a very boring manner.

The dialogues are so cringe and bland it makes you turn off the volume.

And how easy it must be to make a 2 hours movie when 70% of it is slow motion.

How can you have a carriage that floats on thin area, but needs a horse like animal to drag it around?

The Snyder trademarks are all here in abundance - endless slo-mo, rousing vocal score, long close ups etc. The cliched and uninteresting characters also dominate the proceedings - it's very hard to care about anyone here.

The second half is basically one big battle, which is actually well done - the action is frenetic and realistic for the most part and looks more real than most of Snyder's back catalogue. It's a shame that the first half is so dull and silly, with a forced back story scene where the main characters basically retell their lives in cheesy flashbacks taking up a ridiculous amount of time.

It's worth watching for the visuals and action, but don't expect much more.
