The biggest compliment I can give Rebel Moon: Part Two is that I didn't fall asleep this time.
I have never seen a movie so desperately wanting to be not only a franchise but a Wiki fandom hotspot with its world, characters, science fiction names, etc. We have seen failed attempts at a cinematic universe before, but this is something else.
The problem is that the characters and the world of Rebel Moon are not interesting. It's not original either, as you can pick up on many familiar things you have seen in other movies. It's no Lord of the Rings, Dune, Star Wars, and Game of Thrones.
There is a scene where all our heroes sit around and share their backstories. After someone finishes their back story, they might as well say “OK, your turn.”
And when characters do bite the dust, I didn’t care. You couldn't pay me to care about these guys.
There is an R-rated cut for Part One and Two that Snyder is trying to drum up hype for, but I highly doubt there's a good movie somewhere on the cutting room floor. And why is there a director's cut when this is a streaming release and not a theatrical release? Why didn't they release the R-rated cuts to begin with? Because nobody is campaigning like they did for Justice League. So, people have to watch (in total) a six-hour-long movie. Why!? So stupid, lol. And bold of them to think that I am watching both films again.
Zack Snyder is just like George Lucas, not a talentless hack, but he needs to stop surrounding himself with ‘yes men’.
