  I'm hearing a lot of grumbling how this movie is a rip-off star wars and various other half baked ideas of cinema. Some others say a bit of guardians of the galaxy is peppered in, as well as other CGI nightmares floating around. An analogy may be useful here. When I take a shit in the morning, and look down between my legs, and see a turd, very much like the turd I saw the morning before, and many other days, I'm not upset. I say, good, nice and consistent, and then I flush that fucker down the hole and forget about it.

  'Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire' is an enjoyable ride! I will say that I wasn't ever totally engrossed into the story, though at every moment I was still very interested in what I was watching unfold - and for a movie that has a run time of around 134 minutes, that's a big plus. I particularly liked the world building, as well as the special effects. Sofia Boutella is a great choice to lead the ensemble, her performance is one that I thoroughly enjoyed throughout. Ed Skrein is solid in a, shock horror, antagonistic role (does that geezer ever play a good guy?), I've found him quite meh in other movies but here he is very much a positive. None of the others onscreen stand out on their onesies, though as an collective they are a fairly strong cast. I genuinely had a good time with this, can't ask for more than that. I'm fairly lukewarm on Zack Snyder movies, this is the seventh of his work that I've watched and 'Man of Steel' and this are the only ones that I'd actually class as exceptional. Unlike many others, it appears, I look forward to checking out the sequel.

  What a great movie. I never like Star Wars or Galaxy wars or whatever movies and found them boring, but this one is really good. Interesting story, great actors, no propaganda. Giving it solid 9/10.

  The film or series being referenced appears to have left the viewer feeling unengaged and disinterested due to its excessive length and drawn-out sequences. The storyline and writing are criticized for being boring and failing to hold the viewer's attention, resulting in a lackluster viewing experience. The excessive extravagance and tediousness of certain parts of the film or series are highlighted as major drawbacks, making it difficult for the viewer to stay invested in the narrative. The comparison to an "off-brand Star Wars" suggests a lack of originality and innovation in the production, further contributing to the viewer's dissatisfaction with the content. Ultimately, the viewer describes the film or series as more of a background noise option, suitable for casual viewing while engaging in other activities around the house. The overall sentiment conveyed is one of disappointment and frustration with the lack of engaging storytelling and compelling elements that would have made the viewing experience more enjoyable and worthwhile.

  Potential Destroyed By Slow Motion Yes, I know, it's Zack Snyder. If a movie is 90 minutes, he'll add 1 hour of slow motion to it, frequently at moments that don't need it. He should take lessons from Xanxia and Wuxia directors on when slow motion actually adds something. The universe built, character development and the potential of the story are just waste on this OCD pressing of the slow motion button. Such a shame.
