Rebel Moon - Parte 2: A Marcadora de Cicatrizes

This is a story you want to love but logic must be thrown out as the beginning premise is a very small against a well trained, well equipped oppressor. Stories should be believable in order to be drawn in, we love underdog stories... something against all odds! But you have to believe its possible to for that underdog to win, which at NO point do you see any evidence no matter HOW NOBLE the reason they can. The technology of an empire that can restore broken bodies, fly between planets, supposedly a formidable force... against a village that INTENTIONALLY plow their fields with animals.

Regardless of the inspiration help from a handful of skilled hand-to-hand fighters... before the fight starts you know you have to suspend reasonable logic.

After saying all this it does create beautiful stories within the very unbelievable fight, but the fight itself it the big miss.

I thought Part One of Rebel Moon was horrible, but Part Two literally said, "Hold my beer!" -- and then proceeded to do the impossible! Take millions of dollars in budget, hire the best special effects artists, great actors, and commence to shoot a "movie" with the most ill-conceived, disjointed, illogical, and atrociously paced "storyline" imaginable!

I'm the biggest Star Wars fan ever, and after reading Rebel Moon was originally meant to be a Star Wars project, I thought this would be at least somewhat watchable. I really wanted to like these two movies!

But this was the laziest, nonsensical "writing" I've ever seen in my life! It's rare for me to literally HATE a movie, but this one definitely falls into that category! Why? Because the movie is INSULTING! Insulting because there are great writers and filmmakers out there worth their weight in gold, but "Hollywood" instead keeps giving millions to this Zack Snyder hack to keep churning out crap fest after crap fest!

No wonder Hollywood is in trouble! It's run by MORONS!

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.

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.

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.
