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.

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.

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!

In my review for Child of Fire I said it felt like a 2 hour trailer for this movie. I don't know how this managed to be even more dull and boring than that one.

The script is so bad, the small amount of dialogue it has is insufferable, the pacing is so bad, it makes an already boring movie even worse. There's a part of the movie that is, montage, small bit of normal scene, more montage, another small bit of normal scene. It's hard to get through.

The relationship between the main team is almost nonexistent. You made a whole movie about them meeting, and in the second movie, they still barely talk with each other. In the final battle one of them tells another, "If I must die" and the other says "together" and it's genuinely the first time they spoke with each other.

The exposition is done so horribly. There's literally a scene where they go around a table and each of them does a summary of their origin story, as it's shown in flashbacks. And when most of them are done, one of them actually says "What about you? You haven't told your story".

Final battle has some nice sequences, but it's filled with just overdramatised moments of sacrifice and death, because these characters are basically cardboard.

There are some cool shots, some with the robot Jimmy, but that's all they are, shots that look cool. 0 significance, because we barely see him in the damn movie. And to finish the fight comes that Rebellion that was shown for like 5 minutes in the first movie? Yeah, the guy with the face paint. They just appear. No idea who called them, idk how they knew there was a fight, they just show up. Idk if I missed the part where they were called, because by then I was half asleep.

Then obviously there's set up for the third movie. Yeah, I was committed to the 2 parts, I don't have another one of these in me.

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.

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?

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.

Yes, a whole war over a literal ton of wheat, in a bunch of hessian bags.

This overflowing wannabe western porta-potty of tripe is a festival of ridiculous wildly contrasting, and grotesquely incompatible ideas. Energy weapons that reload like cowboy western guns, fighting alongside Conan using his axes. Soldiers that cannot hit a target in a 1 by 2m passage, high tech ships that smoke like they are diesel powered, soldiers that behave like they were hired as extras on a F-grade scifi film (oh wait that's true) Fight scenes with energy weapons so close quarters that the fighters would rather hit their enemies with their rifle than shoot them. It's so insanely ridiculous I nearly chewed through my own foot out of frustration.

Then the monologues. Lectures by warriors given to villagers they just met, minutes before. More lectures and 20 second "tragic" back stories that will make you wish the "warriors" telling them were rather killed on the spot by the evil empire, who apparently kill just for sport, and have no real motivation.

Acting so wooden and hollow, you'll feel like you're watching a play about hearding sheep, performed by the society of grave diggers, at your local town bowling alley on a Wednesday night during happy hour.

If you like this film, please, please, for the love of humanity, do not procreate.

Alright, so I finally got around to watching Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver, and let me tell you, it's a bit of a rollercoaster ride. On one hand, there's definitely been some improvement since the first film, particularly when it comes to the jaw-dropping action sequences. Seriously, they were inventive, eye-catching, and had me glued to the screen throughout.

But here's where things get a little complicated. While the action scenes were a major highlight, it felt like the filmmakers were more focused on laying the groundwork for a potential franchise rather than delivering a standalone, gripping story. This weakened the immediate stakes of the plot, leaving me feeling somewhat disconnected from the characters and their struggles.

Now, let's talk about Zack Snyder. The guy's no stranger to controversy, and while I think he gets more flak than he deserves, I can't deny that there were some pacing issues in this film. Plus, some of the characters felt underdeveloped, which was a real missed opportunity considering the potential they had.

On the positive side, the visual spectacle of Rebel Moon Part 2 is undeniable. Snyder's signature style shines through, and there are moments of pure cinematic magic that left me in awe. But it's clear that the focus on franchise-building came at the expense of fully fleshing out the story and its characters.

So, where does that leave us? Well, if you were a fan of the first Rebel Moon, you'll probably find Part 2 to be a more polished experience. The action is top-notch, and there's definitely a sense of progression in terms of the overall feel of the film. However, if you're looking for a completely satisfying conclusion with high stakes and deep character development, you might be left wanting more.

In the end, Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver is a solid improvement over its predecessor, but there's still plenty of room for growth. Here's hoping that any future installments can strike a better balance between franchise-building and delivering a compelling, standalone story.

The hate for this film is not justified at all.

People are treating zack Snyder like he killed a puppy.

What a load of tosh.

I didn't feel any connection with any of the cliched, 2-dimensional characters so didn't care when any of them died.

However, it gets a few stars for great visuals and CGI, the satisfying splashy-lava effect of the blasters, and the light-trail effects of the light sabres. The coolest moment was the James the mech with his cloak in his One Punch Man moment.

Half the movie was the farmers harvesting wheat and after one day of combat training got a better kill-death ratio than any of the veterans.

The other half of the movie was a guy turning the little wheel to aim the Dreadnaught cannon.

Remind me never to watch any more Synder movies on Netflix.

The crew that spewed hatred for the first movie, then watched the second movie in one breath as soon as it was released, and then ran all the way here to complain about it. I swear, I really can not understand this behaviour. The lynching frenzy in the first movie still continues.

This movie is not a masterpiece. It's not as bad as people make a fuss about it. It's a movie that has enjoyable aspects, cheesy aspects, cheap aspects and good/bad aspects. You might even call it a popcorn space opera film. I think there is progress after the first movie. The first movie was more messy. The fact that the movie takes place in a single location this time is also a factor in this.

Seriously, the guy who made this movie loves slow motion, I understand a lot of people don't enjoy it that much. Frankly, it appeals to me because, when you are someone who consumes a lot of movies, too much rushing around the screen can tire you out. That's why this movie felt soothing to me.

It seems that Zack Snyder's modus operandi now is to release a fair to middling take of the movie at PG-13 (though funnily enough, the first film had a 15 rating slapped onto it by the BBFC after Netflix had already rated it as a 12. I'm guessing the same will happen to this due to the dark tone of it) Then release the Snyder Cut, which is not only longer, but darker, more violent, with profanity and sexual scenes that wouldn't pass at PG-13. These cuts end up being the definitive versions of the film, and vastly superior to the one the studio put out initially.

I don't know why the studios don't trust in Zack Snyder's original vision, as he's proved time and time again that his vision is the better movie.

Justice League was infinitely better than the Joss Whedon debacle that was initially released, as it restored whole deleted sub-plots. Got rid of the cheesy(and sometimes sleazy) humour, and introduced a whole new big bad, which due to the poor reception of the studio butchered cinema release, has just been left hanging.

Batman Vs Superman explored more of the story as a whole, went deeper into each characters psyche, and introduced more story threads that would be picked up in Zack Snyder's Justice League.

Watchmen, the directors cut actually gave justice to it's original inspiration. The seminal comic book Watchmen. It was long thought to be unfilmable, but Zack Snyder pulled it off, and apart from one very uncomfortable sex scene, should be up thee with the best comic book adaptations ever made.

I'm guessing you've got my point by now, and I know this time it was a marketing ploy by Netflix to have the two different version. One that's more family friendly and one that's a Hard R rated, adults only version. But please reserve judgement on this duology of movies until you've seen what is Zack Snyder's original vision. The man is a masterful filmmaker when he's let off a leash and encouraged to do what he wants to do. I for one can't wait to see a bloody, violent, sweary, and jet black version of both of these films, and they deserve to be seen before any judgement is passed on them.

Slow-motion farming.. Slow-motion water-refilling.. Grain-bag filling, falling, dying, you name it. This is unnecessary-slow-motion the movie.

And while this sequel is easier to swallow, it continues a hollow story of unlikeable characters. And less time for world-building doesn't excuse the lack of it! Rebel Moon has gotten 4 hours, and has done nothing with it.. Character backgrounds coming out half-way during the second movie is inexcusable and poor writing, and I still don't buy the displayed camaraderie anyway.

If Hallmark made Sci-Fi films, I would believe this to be one of them! Not sure why I gave it a chance, as I feel I've wasted my time in the end.

I wasn't aware people had a "Nickelback" level of hate towards Zack Snyder but so it seems.

These 2 movies are not the next Star Wars or Star Trek but they are by no mean as bad as people make them out to be.

With Part 1 & 2 we have 2 quite entertaining Space Action Scifis, with good special effects and acceptable acting and plot. These are not meant to be Academy Award nominated dialogues or scripts. They are meant to entertain you and I can't see how a sci-fi fan wouldn't find them fun.

As for the plot being just every big sci-fi blockbusters blended together, all I have to say is... if we can accept Avatar being "Pocahontas in Space" then we shouldn't have any problem accepting this as "Magnificent Seven in Space" or "Seven Samurai in space".

I do believe that over time these will have a cult following and if people could just let themselves enjoy something fun maybe we could have a new cool cinematic universe here but with the reception they're getting it's doubtful.

Honestly, I find the reviews of this movie not very credible...

Although there's a sense in the first 10 minutes that the cast is finding its footing and there's some clumsiness with the acting, once I surrendered, I was sucked into the story.

Sure, the Star Wars storyline is heavily relied upon, but once the clichés are set aside and the saccharine moments pass, it actually becomes quite an exciting film.

The epic battles and significant losses, even among main characters, truly immerse you in the conflict.

Sure, there are areas that could be improved upon, but all in all, I thoroughly enjoyed it and am genuinely looking forward to a sequel.

I am thoroughly disappointed and have come to realize that I may never watch another one of his films again. It has become increasingly clear that his films, consistently lack meaningful plot progression and substantial character arcs.

The repetitive film sequences and copy and pasting, for me have become boring to watch. It sucks to watch his body of work, which fails to bring anything new to the table.

The persistent use of slow-motion effects seems more a stylistic crutch than a narrative necessity. The excessive reliance on CGI and these slow-motion scenes, which add nothing of value, is confusing.

Additionally, particularly the editing, was underwhelming. Glaring continuity errors in the scenes. I even saw the dull end of an axe slice a throat. These are not minor oversights; they significantly detract from the film's credibility.

I had high hopes that 'Part Two' might redeem the cinematic tragedy of part one, but instead, it confirmed my reservations. This film feels more like a visual spectacle devoid of soul than a coherent narrative. Why make a story in 2 parts, 2 hours a piece, and prioritize flashy visuals over compelling storytelling?

There are many movies on Netflix, and this film is highly entertaining! It has great action, beautiful costumes, and talented actors. Is it the best film? No, but it's certainly not the worst either.

I found the first part better; the second part took a bit longer to really get going in the film. It's nice how they try to save a village in various ways within the story!

The different main characters are highlighted more, which made me feel more sympathetic towards them. I felt the weight carried by the main actress, which is what I want to experience, being immersed in a film.

I'm curious about the sequel!

If you enjoy action, I definitely recommend this film!

I thought at first why the first movie sucked so bad was because Netflix butchered it to appeal to younger audience because of corporate greed however this one sucked so hard that black holes get jealous.

Seriously this looked like it was made by some very inexperienced teenagers small budget vibes and so predictable that I started betting with better chance of what they say.

The clothes looked meh,the planets were bad,the spaceships had medocire design, overall no self respecting person finds this interesting.

I only watched because I had time to kill and also had to do brain cells culling because knowledge and great intelligence is a curse.

Zack Snyder has to work in a Chinese gulag to redeem himself or perhaps in the waters of the mines of mandalore.

Once again, just like I said in Part One, maybe you guys watched it on a tiny screen. I watched it on a 120-inch screen, with 5.1 speakers, hehehe. I liked it! Sure it borrowed a lot of concepts from other movies mainly Seven Samurai / 47 Ronin. Sure the concept/story isn't unique/original. But I thought it was entertaining. That's the whole point right? I even re-watched Part One just before watching Part Two. I think both movies are at 7.5 to 8 stars. One criticism: Not a fan of the haircut. I'd go for the Underworld hairstyle. Looking forward to Part Three. I am definitely looking forward to a Director's/Snyder's Cut.

What's great!

I as someone who wants to go into the entertainment industry and is very critical of visuals and VFX, I was inthralled with its visuals and costuming 10/10. I wish that there were more movies with this art direction of 90's sci fi

What didn't work I do think that there are some unnecessary scenes that can drag on to long, or could have been better used in other ways to help us become more attached to the characters. There were moments that were easily predictable or created plot holes

All in all I deeply want to see where they take this story but mostly to SEE what they do visually with it.
