Rebel Moon: Part Two - The Scargiver

As a playground for Snyder’s favorite bits of speed-ramping, shallow-focusing and pulp thievery, it’s harmless, sometimes pleasingly weird fun.

This space opera sequel doesn’t quite capture the worldbuilding magic of its predecessor.

The film is egregiously long for what it is: simply Seven Samurai dipped in a thin glaze of rebels-vs-empire interstellar intrigue.

Turn away from your screens. Go for a walk. Start your own wheat-threshing collective. Anything but suffer through this.

Marginally better than Part One, but still a weird, messy and humourless sci-fi that gives you little reason to cheer the potential continuation of this Snyderverse.

You’d sell your granny for a sci-fi brain gizmo that could wipe the entire mess from your mind for ever.

Scargiver is another derivative, massive disappointment from Snyder. On paper Rebel Moon should have been the perfect movie for me. In execution it was shockingly dull, unoriginal, and sloppy.

Rebel Moon – Part 2: The Scargiver is every bit the vapid, empty spectacle its predecessor was, delivering another two hours of weightless, instantly forgettable sci-fi hokum.

Non-stop action in Zack Snyder’s signature style. Bold visuals, themes of resistance, and Hopkins’ Jimmy are big highlights.

Like part one, pacing is too fast and the character work feels thin, reinforcing why Netflix should’ve led with the full cut.

Somehow this film is even more dull and uninspired than the first one.
