I think by now we all know how I feel about Zach Snyder and his storytelling ability (or lack thereof). I am not really sure why he was given a Star Wars project to begin with but here we are, Rebel Moon exists and it’s pretty clear that it is a failure. Not sure when we are going to shove Snyder into cinematography where he belongs but I hope it’s soon. He has proven over and over again that he is incapable of being a storyteller.

I would like to start with the fact that apparently this film is going to be two parts and part 1 is already over 2 hours. It is very clear that Snyder is incapable of actually telling stories. If every single original thought you have is over 3 hours, you can not tell your story. Long movies have their place but if it is all you are capable of then you are bad at movies. Part of it is that he doesn’t have anyone to reign him in, he refuses to work with people who don’t give him full creative control and he sucks at full creative control. He needs someone to actually edit for him because not a single one of his stories has ever NEEDED to be longer than 2 hours.
Rebel Moon was exactly what I expected to be, that is to say, it was bad. I literally had to start watching it at 1.5X because I just needed it to be over. For the purposes of journalistic integrity I will try and force myself through the very unnecessary 2nd part but good lord Zach Snyder needs to go sell cars or manage a Walmart or something because he is not good at storytelling. This business is not for everyone folks.
