You know what.. I feel people have unnecessarily given a bad name to this movie.. this is a pretty decent sci-fi movie albeit little like star wars. But i thoroughly enjoyed the movie. If they do end up making a third part I will be the first one to watch.

I dont care what the critics have to say. I watched this movie and really enjoyed it. It does not deserve the absolute panning it is getting. I was entertained, and thought it was really good when i had finished watching. I was looking for entertainment, not a philosophical piece.

I don't know how they managed. But it's actually worse then the first one.

I enjoyed this movie part, and I rated it highly for the visuals and the action (e.g. the weapons, explosions, ships, slow-motion, the sci-fi stuff in general). Sofia Boutella plays bloodied, tortured, badass very well imo. The line "why can't I just have this one thing?" was PERFECTLY written and delivered. Negatives: - the kiss near the start did not feel real (possibly not cutting the two parts just before it would have been better) - kind of melodramatic, verging on cheesy writing and speaking Unsure: - the robot said things that sounded very human, but then again, perhaps my idea of robots is constrained by how I've seen them and how I imagine them (perhaps in this universe, robots are programmed to have emotions and sound more human) - I was shocked at how well the lover took the news of her crime (especially her willingness to do the crime). then again, maybe love really is that blind - most characters were pretty one-dimensional, except for the main character - seemed a little much to have a character go into battle against rifles with two small axes, but then again, those were his weapons and maybe fighting at close range changes the usefulness of certain weapons

Visually, this movie is spectacular; it’s everything you could want in a SiFi movie. I enjoyed watching the battle scene, the troops marching and sniping flying in the distance, however, it felt like there was a lot of unnecessary storytelling and focusing on the wrong storylines that was really a huge buzzkill for this 2nd addition. They had a few great characters built up for the first movie that they teased in this movie, however they all fell short of what could have been something great. You have a battle scene where all the main characters have plot armor, and I mean the hugest plot armor I’ve ever seen in cinema. Like would it have killed them to take cover a little more?? Instead they just openly charging an overwhelming force in a field, whom evidently have worse aim than a storm trooper. As soon as the battle started all logic went out the door and they just went for what was visually most pleasing. Which I’ll admit, visually this movie is stunning. However, I’m giving it half a star for not taking into consideration that you also need to think logically and tactically when planning a huge battle on screen verses just going for what’s most visually pleasing. Also, let’s not forget the forced love interest that just seems completely unnecessary and unwarranted. Reminded me of the Finn and Rose love interest from Star Wars that came out of no where.

Rebel Moon, just stop already...

So dumb. Is there no one at any stage of the process that said - no, that's stupid? Because there were many many many opportunities to say that. Visually interesting (sometimes, no one needs farming slow mos) but that can't make up for the 1 dimensional characters, ridiculous derivativeness, and stupidity of the whole affair. 4 hours of film and not one character has any sort of depth. A film about a galactic empire that centres around a single Amish village, because wheat....

If they wouldn't have used slow mode the film would have been done in 30 minutes.. -_- And what was with that lousy camera work ... Not to mention the overambitious actors that really don't know when to quit or stop with the obnoxious one liners

The story was so generic and the action sequences became boring, slow mo after slow mo. The cookie cutter characters had nothing interesting about them for you to care about. So many animated cartoons are better than this live action film.
