Having just seen the theatrical version, I do not expect the Director's Cut to meaningfully add much to the plot itself. It's a very straight forward story, and if you weren't sold on Zack Snyder's riff on Seven Samurai and Star Wars then I'm not expecting your mind to be changed by a three hour version. It does feel like some more scenes characterizing each member of the crew are likely what was cut. However, for me the appeal is seeing the interpretation of these things by Zack Snyder, and we get a fast paced intro film that proudly wears its influences on its sleeve, and while a lot of complaints seem to be that it's off brand Star Wars I would also point out that means it's Star Wars without being trapped by Star Wars canon. It's free to focus entirely on its own new characters and action set pieces without having to stop everything for the triumphant return of Clone Commander Bly. It's a fun, cool and stylish movie, and I suspect the Director's Cut and Part 2 will have more to chew on.

I don't think you need to put too much thought into it. They're a small farming community that can't fight back. Of course the space nazis are going to take everything they have because they can get away with with ease.

Blood Boils posted:Now now, it's a lotta fun when peeps make insane posts, I don't want that to stop. Plus, effective communication is a learning process - the "why is the empire bad? How do the spaceships work? Why do they eat bread instead of rice? Why is dirt brown?" guy clearly needs someone to get him to hold up and reflect on why these bizarre questions are even occurring to him, and we're just the goons for the job! I'm employing tactical realism but for posting

Even among big mainstream movies this year The Flash and Dial of Destiny are far more miserable experiences to sit through, and I suspect all the MCU movies I didn't see are too.

H13 posted:Thank you for explaining my own argument to me. I thought I knew what I was talking about but here you are explaining what I actually meant instead! You should try saying something interesting instead because complaining about the bad guys not being able to kill the main character because of a tv trope is the most banal poo poo, and should not be taken remotely seriously by anyone. Also I'm a girl.

McCloud posted:Well here's the thing, there are plenty of people who didn't like the movie who didn't get any flack because they posted thoughtful or genuine reviews. The people who do get pushback are the ones who post stupid poo poo like "Zack's fascist sensibilities" or arguing about loving grain for 3 pages or how the movie is bad because the stormtroopers miss their targets. It's cinemasins-level bullshit. Since you're not a regular here you might not be aware that we got an obnoxious amount of these types of disingenious hot takes and drive by shitposting so at this point we just don't offer the benefit of the doubt to the more extreme hot takes, and it's usually pretty easy to tell which is which. Actually I plan to let Snyder fans call people slurs and everyone who has rated the movie lower than 3.5 on letterboxd will have a month + ban queued with a message to never post in Cine D ever again.

Mega Comrade posted:Nolan uses it as a story telling device in a lot of his films. If you are making an action movie why would you not use techniques like slow motion to make the action look cool if that is your intent? I assure you the makers of action films aren't thinking less about their shot composition and filming jusy because their intent is less thought provoking.

The problem is that the complaints are so often vague and poorly described that we often are confused what people are even talking about. Somebody posted obvious mistakes were left in and didn't elaborate as if everyone is on the same page as them. Another person posted about the slo-mo being lazy and meaningless but didn't bother using an example from the film to elaborate their point. Nobody's saying you can't be bored by the movie or dislike it, I couldn't stand Force Majeure at all and found it to be an excruciating two hours to sit through. But, I'm not about to confidently post vague complaints about slow pacing and get pissed off when people remain unconvinced.

To me the issue is that Disney Star Wars is taking inspiration from Star Wars itself so it's just retelling and referencing its own stories. Star Wars under Lucas was a remix of his various interests into something new. You can see this in a video where they go over ship designs. The OT and PT have them talking about various influences Geoge Lucas had and liked, and thematic reasons for why ships are designed that way. Then they get to the stuff Disney has produced and they can barely say more than "We added some little details to the X-Wing". Rebel Moon wears its influences on its sleeve, but it is also remixing Star Wars and Kurosawa with Warhammer 40K and Heavy Metal to try making something that's uniquely Snyder's take on it. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

JazzFlight posted:I know the goon response to any criticism of this movie is more "stop nitpicking / you're focusing on the wrong things / again with the grain???" so... I watch a bunch of old horror, action, and martial arts movies that don't exactly make me think beyond "That was a sick and fun movie" why would it bother me if Rebel Moon is giving me similar thoughts? Also who cares what Rotten Tomatoes thinks? I have not "agreed" with many of the 'tomatometer' ratings from the poor reviews Snyder generally gets to the praise for Marvel movies, Rian Johnson movies, and Everything Everywhere All at Once. Why should I care now? Roth fucked around with this message at 20:41 on Apr 21, 2024 |
