Should I wait for the "Snyder cut" (director's cut) of Rebel Moon? (lemmy.world)

Hearing the movie is getting bad reviews. But Snyder says the director's cut will be a completely different movie with a different vision. I admit Zack Snyder's Justice League (director's cut) was much better than the theatrical version and quite different (though I had mostly forgotten the original by then). Not sure if I should just watch this movie now or wait for the director's cut for a better experience. Impression Blend on YouTube said it was ok.

I wouldn't watch it again, but given that I'd already decided to do fuck all with my evening and veg out on Netflix I'm not as angry as most of you. It was dumb. I'll probably watch part 2 in pieces if I watch it

I'm so bored by the over stylised slow mo. It got so tedious once the action started. The backdrops looked cool but the green screen wasn't even done well. Between the shitty green screen, indigent slow mo and overall lack of cohesive story it was impossible to get immersed. The plot was just a hodgepodge of fellowship of the ring pokemon team building of a bunch of nobodies who of course had to been and Haw before joining up reluctantly. At least in justice league the Flash went against this trope and it was one of the better scenes in that shitty film.

Between this atrocity, the latest marvel offerings, the latest Indiana Jones, and the latest Avatar I'm wondering if my film palate is too discerning these days or are big films just getting shittier? Everything is somehow overwrought yet derivative. The last thing I watched that was ambitious that I remember blowing me away was the Watchmen series

Dial of Destiny sucked. Check out Invincible on Prime.

Ooohh. Yeah. Invincible is great

I feel this too, I’m so sick of unoriginal continuations of existing IP. I’ve been enjoying A24 movies and shows though, Beef and EEAAO absolutely blew me away. I also loved Pearl and Frankenstein's Monster's Monster, Frankenstein. I love their metamodern style.

Edit: not A24, but Barry was also fantastic. Plot points that you expect to be dragged out over 1-2 seasons are resolved quickly, because the show has a dense, concise story to tell and doesn't waste time.

+100 for Barry, that show was too good and underrated. I don't know if I'll find a show as great as that for a while, but thankful Fargo is still on.

As far as A24, I think Robert Eggers' 'The Lighthouse' and Ari Aster's 'Beau Is Afraid' are my favorites.

Another weird movie I enjoyed recently is Triangle of Sadness (2022). Oh and 'Enemy' (2013) was so artistic, I think. Also 'The Banshees of Inisherin' (2022), what a movie.

Boots Riley's debut film and TV show, Sorry to Bother You and I'm a Virgo, respectively, were amazing as well.

I haven't seen the 'X' films or Frankenstein's (...) but I will have to now.

I found the new Avatar lacklustre as well. Dune wasn't my thing either. Big hopes for the Jak and Daxter film but that's mostly because I hope it will spawn a new game. Enjoying the fifth season of the TV show 'Fargo' airing at the moment which is mostly consistently good.

I'm interested about the Army of the Dead sequel 'Planet of the Dead' as crazy as it sounds.
