Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire (Zack Snyder, Dec. 22 on Netflix)

It would be hard not to be

 

I care. I wasn't totally blown away Part 1, but I enjoyed it enough to be looking forward to Part 2. Not sure if I'll watch the directors cuts though, at least not right away.

 

Reviews for Part Two are about what you'd expect them to be.

The high(low) light has to be the revelation that Snyder has taken his love of slow-mo to its ultimate expression by shooting scenes of people farming in slow motion.

 

When is part Two out on Netflix exactly?

 

After watching the first one, I have zero interest.

 

It's already out; Netflix just didn't do any publicity for it.

 

Makes sense.
They're saving the ad money for the very forced marketing of a forced "Snyder Cut".

 

Hm -- io9's review says both parts are way longer than they need to be (and indeed most of Part 1 is irrelevant to Part 2), and that it would be better if they pared both parts down drastically into a single tighter movie. So instead, they're going to give us a version that's reportedly nearly 50% longer.

Why does the current generation of filmmakers no longer understand how to edit themselves? Does nobody teach how to "kill your darlings" anymore?

 

Part two Is called The Scargiver?
Try not to cut yourself on all that edge there Zack.

 

Apparently it doesn't have an actual ending and Snyder has plans for six more sequels. Good luck with that one!

 

Dang, you ninja'd me. I am typing up a review, and yeah, that was the very first part of it. My quick and dirty -- visuall stunning with some original effects. But for a 2 hour movie, it went by fast, and yet felt like little depth on characters (again).

Oh -- and they set up a sequel.

 

Zack Snyder just threatened to make 4 to 6 Rebel Moon movies. What did we ever do to him to hurt us this way?

 

*Weary, smoking Affleck meme*

 

I didn't realize part 2 came out today until I got on Netflix just a few minutes ago. I enjoyed part one, so I'll be watching it.
I was a little surprised to see it's not in the top 10. I have to wonder if all of the talk of the extended cuts killed interest in this version, and everybody who is interested is just going to wait and watch those versions.

 

We task him.

 

It literally dropped today, so I would think it takes at least 24 hours

 

Oh, that could explain it.
