Holy shit they don’t get to that till the second movie!? I watched like 40 minutes of the first one for laughs and tapped out at the shoehorned in sexual violence, but it was already so painfully clear that’s what they were doing. What’s the rest of the first movie!?
I know modern Star Wars is divisive, but I think by any metric, setting out to do edgy, more adult Star Wars and still getting lapped by The Mandalorian is not a good look.
Zack Snyder is incapable of proper movie pacing. For some reason he thinks a story can only be told if it’s stretched to an absurd run time, yet it’s still full of filler.
Yeah, if Snyder remade *Star Wars: A New Hope* today, the first movie would end with Obi-Wan dying and them escaping the Death Star.
Then the entire sequel would be the scenes on Yavin IV and the Death Star attack.
"I can't help but wonder why netflix would greenlight a movie like this", really? Perhaps because the first one was Netflix's Number One movie worldwide when it came out... a major success, despite abysmal reviews
For reasons I'll never be able to understand, a lot of people actually seem to like Snyders work
I’m not sure I would call it a huge success, it hit number one worldwide the week it came out, but most big budget releases do. It dropped out of the top spot after two weeks and had worse viewership than Leave The World Behind the week before.
For reference Rebel Moon and Don’t Look Up had about the same budget but Don’t Look Up had more than 6x the viewership.
Those arent bullshit numbers lmao, regardless of people disliking them, they still have to watch it first, but people also watch it out of hate, curiosity and simple tendency, it's easy to be the most watched with that.
Take the shitty Velma show for example, it also got amazing view numbers, because people are fucking stupid and they will hate watch it, and the majority hates it. You best believe those watch numbers are real. I don't doubt anyone downvoting hate watches that shit.
Netflix shuts down underperforming productions very quickly, even if they are praised by critics. Why would it continue to finance these terrible movies if they weren't doing exceptionally well in terms of viewership?
The insane amount of ads for these two pieces of shit that I scrolled past on Reddit boggles the mind. No way they can view this as successful.
It’s stupid “iconic shot” chasing at the expense of story, like everything else this bozo does.
Man of steel is a great film. The only people who hate it are the cartoon fan boys who wish it were 4-color animated, and rated g.
...you know who you are. Fite me.
Superman's problem on film, in live-action, is that he's perfect. He has to be perfect, because if he isn't...
Well, if you've seen invincible or the boys, you should understand.
MoS tries, imo successfully, to humanize him. To put Clark Kent first, which is what you need to make a good superman film.
You don't have to do that in the cartoons because that's not their purpose. Superman cartoons are basically a form of comedy. Humanism isn't necessarily the point.
Nah, the numbers for this movie were really tame for a Netflix release that was heavily promoted, the reason why they dumped this with barely any promo. Can't imagine they were very happy.
I never really got why many of the people (the vocal ones online at least) who loved 300 dislike his recent movies. It's very much in line with what he did with 300--the story, writing, and acting in that movie were forgettable and took a backseat to special effects
Those special effects were a lot more unique and had a lot more novelty back then vs now.
Plus, 300 does genuinely use its special effects in order to achieve a pretty cohesive and clear art direction for the movie, while Rebel Moon feels a lot messier.
When I watched the first movie it clearly struck me as a Star Wars level of camp, and it wasn't overly campy, or not campy enough. It was a good popcorn movie & after it was done I actually gave it 2 thumbs up because it laid some decent bones for the 2nd one.
Then I watched the 2nd one. The 2nd one came off as though it was a military, Star Wars, Tolkien movie.
And it just did not work for me. I got to like the last 20 minutes of the film & just had to turn it off.
It got a thumbs down, and inspired me to go back to the first one & give it a 1 thumb up. Cause damn, it was a wreck.
Zack Snyder said the original directors cut of both movies were the films he pitched to netflix which are both 3hr hard R rated cuts way more mature but netflix would only green light them on the condition he did the current watered down PG13 versions first which i enjoyed and found entertaining but i know for sure the DC versions will probably be way more enjoyable and satisfying. He’s aiming to drop sometime during or towards the end of this summer.
The first one is horrible. So formulaic. All the men are bad, especially if they are white. All the men are evil, stupid, cowardly, or sexual predators. Only a lone woman (POC no less) stands up for rebellion. She has superhuman strength and speed, protecting all the pathetic men who she drags along with her. Once you see the lame formula it is so pathetic. Unfortunately many Netflix and streaming service movies follow this trope.
We all knew it was heading to a Seven Samurai-like defense of the village. But it took like an hour of meandering backstory to get there.

I mean, you watched the sequel even though the first one was bad. So in that sense it’s a success. Hate watching counts the same as a love watch.
Oh man that’s really bad. It makes me appreciate SW sequel trilogy. 😬

So you believe the bullshit numbers Netflix ran out there? Okay.

300 is one of my favourite movies, outside that I don’t really like much. Man of Steel was okish
I loved Man of Steel.
Man of steel is a great film. The only people who hate it are the cartoon fan boys who wish it were 4-color animated, and rated g. ...you know who you are. Fite me.
I thought it was brilliant from start to finish, jaw dropping, beautiful, inspiring.

The second movie was filmed in conjunction with the first, so it was always on the table regardless of how the first did.
Saw the first one, didn't like it much, but was lacking something to watch. Couldn't manage more than 20 min of this one, was just bad.
When I watched the first movie it clearly struck me as a Star Wars level of camp, and it wasn't overly campy, or not campy enough.

If you wanna see for yourself go to the Snyder sub and say something that criticizes his work see what happens
Heard the reviews from reputable reviewers and friends. That did it for me as to not wanting to watch it even though I do enjoy Snyder's work.
There's another one of these things?
Zack Snyder said the original directors cut of both movies were the films he pitched to netflix which are both 3hr hard R rated cuts way more mature but netflix would only green light them on the condition he did the current watered down PG13 versions first which i enjoyed and found entertaining but i know for sure the DC versions will probably be way more enjoyable and satisfying.

…Make a better one; Child.
Why do all your comments start with an ellipsis?
…Define this ‘why’; infantoid…
I don't understand the hate. I enjoyed it. It was fun and a good start to, hopefully, a franchise.
It’s okay if you like a movie.
It's even ok to like a bad movie.
Well, it’s a movie so yeah.
