Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon

[A24 4,339]

Well, somebody had to create this thread, right?

 

 

And Junkie XL has just been assigned to write the score. What more can we wish for?! (don't answer that)

[Thor 7,512]

Sounds great to me. Looking forward to both film and score.

[TheUlyssesian 2,478]

I think At The Speedforce is one of the great film cues of recent times. So maybe we can expect good things? 

[Stark 316]

There are several Holkenborg scores I really like, mainly his melodic ones (Divergent, Mortal Engines, etc). Hopefully this is more in that vein.

Aha! The second option is calling my name!

[Jay 37,369]

[JNHFan2000 2,966]

I think this is the only film that Netflix has been advertising for more than a mo th in advance.

Usually they release one trailer a few weeks before a film releases.

 

So they must feel really confindent about this.

I think it looks great so far and am very excited to see what this looks like.

[A24 4,339]

It's going to be their Star Wars.

[Stark 316]

I don’t have high expectations but I’ll still watch it for sure.

[JNHFan2000 2,966]

 

+ release dates of both films

[Jay 37,369]

Zack Snyder sure likes long movies. 

[A24 4,339]

I don't see people connecting to this.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,544]

Charlie Hunnam? Djimon Hounsou?

Avoid.

The trailer looks like a mixture of Dune, Percy Jackson... and everything else. 

[A24 4,339]

A little bit of John Carter too. And Star Wars of course.

[MaxMovieMan 273]

I’m so tired of these Part 1 Part 2 films. Just give us a complete whole product for once god almighty.

[JNHFan2000 2,966]

At least these 2 films have release dates that'll be met.

 

Can't say the same for M:I 8 or Spider-Man 3

Hollywood believes the best way to compete with shows is to make movies LONGER, whereas they should make them MORE COMPACT AND IMPACTFUL in my opinion

Nails on head.

It offers nothing we haven't seen, or heard, before.

As I said... avoid.

[iamleyeti 114]

Watched the trailer and: why not? It looks and feels like a million other stuff, but I did really enjoy some of them so…

 

I believe Snyder can make good movies. Not sure when he writes them entirely like for 300 and Sucker Punch…

I'm just gonna watch Jaws, even though I have seen, or heard it, before.

But Jaws has great characters. So far, I've only seen bland video game characters in Rebel Moon.

 

Even Hopkins (narration) doesn't feel like he's into it.

[Naïve Old Fart 9,544]

JAWS is so fucking good, that, if you took out the shark, you'd still have a brilliant film.

And that's mostly because of Williams' score.

 

It doesn't matter what is below the water. The 2 notes are terrifying either way.

 

Funny story:

My sister is so scared of sharks that she never even finished the film because the music was too much.

The funniest part is that even when she's in a pool and you humm the 2 notes, she goes bonkers. Love it!!

No other film score does that.

 

Sorry for talking about Jaws in a Rebel Moon thread.

 

I think it looks good and fun. I'll wait for full judgement after I've seen the film

Don't you just love classical conditioning? 

[Andy 4,138]

This movie looks like it could be good 

Spoiler

if it had a mechanical killer shark in it.

Sounds like either you are a sadist or you hate your sister's guts.

He's a behavioural psychologist.

Good.

It just sounds weird like "Everytime I do this, she is scared to death and I enjoy that sooo much! Chrzhrhrherher (cruel giggling)."

New trailer

 

 

[Nick1Ø66 4,718]

Thanks for posting this Jay, I've been looking forward to this one. And I always look forward to the next film I look forward to that I’ll be disappointed by.

[Thor 7,512]

I'm all 'fantasy-ed' out at this point in time (was never a big fan to begin with, outside LOTR), but SPACE OPERA, I'm always game for. Especially when in the hands of visionaries like Snyder. Trailer looks good (if you just ignore the trailer music, which I always do)!

[A24 4,339]

Looks a bit old hat to me and the main characters don't seem to have a lot of appeal. 

[GerateWohl 4,370]

In the meantime I find it kind of boring, when the powerful empire is always shown just greedy, cruel, merciless and stupid.

 

I would rather like to see such a rebel story with an empire appearing smart with good intentions starting off fine, but then later things getting out of hands, old conflicts breaking open, each side having a moral justification for what they are doing but running into a spiral of violence.

 

 

That is why for example Thanos in the MCU was such a great villain. Because he had basically good intentions.

 

But this looks kind of flat... and a bit too expensive to be that flat.

I think I read that in one of the early drafts of Episode IX, the First Order was portrayed as taking over but being relatively benevolent. Authoritarian, yes, but the galaxy had order to it and was basically at "peace"...in that there was an absence of war.

 

And if people are relatively content with their day-to-day lives, and have their basic needs met, there isn't always an appetite for violent rebellion for abstract freedoms. So if a bunch of rebels come along and start busting things up, it makes people start to question who the "good guys" really are.

 

I think this would have been a much more interesting take, and set The First Order apart from the Empire. Of course, that's way too much nuance for JJ Abrams, so...

 

Anyway, apparently Rebel Moon started out as Snyder's pitch to LucasFilm for a more gritty Star Wars movie, so it's unsurprising that's what it looks like. 

[thestat 348]

A mega flop in the pipes. Is that not the Apple Foundation show that is being brought about by its Apple roots. Jesus, I did not think it was going to be  this bad. ...... feel sorry for the crew that made it. 

[Edmilson 7,466]

That ain't good:

You just have to look at the trailers to know this would happen.

 

[itsevilr 4]

The soundtrack is up on streaming platforms 👀

[Thor 7,512]

I like this! Especially the strings and vocal work. And when it's more down-tempo. Looks like a pretty well curated album too, less than 60 minutes.

[Edmilson 7,466]

LMAO 

 

Zack Snyder Says His R-Rated Director's Cut Of REBEL MOON Is "Almost A Completely Different Movie"

 

Zack the Hack saw the pitiful reviews that his latest crap is getting and now is taking another "Snyder Cut" from his own butt to use as an excuse. He's already setting up excuses and the next grift for his devout cult of imbeciles on Twitter, but will they care now that this is an "original" (lol) project that doesn't have The Punisher Batman and Superman?

[rough cut 1,714]

I thought that the title of this review was funny.

 

Rebel Moon: At least its better than The Rise Of Skywalker (Den Of Geek)

 

Faint praise. 😂

[Thor 7,512]

Just saw the film and absolutely LOVED it! Easily in the top 10 of the year. I do have some issues with the dialogue, but other than that, it's exactly what I hoped and expected a Zack Snyder space opera to be.

[JNHFan2000 2,966]

I'm surprised you loved this so much while I thought it was just meh. Haha. How the tables have turned

[Nick1Ø66 4,718]

I Initially had no real desire to see this, but the internet chorus has been so uniform in their absolute bashing of this film that I think there may actually be something worth watching here. 

 

I sense a cult classic in the making.

 

 

[Edmilson 7,466]

Will it be the next Blade Runner/Fight Club/etc or the next Battleship Earth? Only time will tell...
