Why I gave up on Snyder’s "Rebel Moon" after 40 minutes

The Daily Review

Welcome to The Daily Review with Brad Munson for Thursday, where I will now go into a full-tilt rant about why I gave Up on Snyder’s Rebel Moon After 40 Minutes.

I’m not going to link to any of Snyder’s tired imitations, but you might consider taking a look at some of the great source material he’s mismanaged over the years:

George Romero’s Dawn of the Dead: https://amzn.to/3RN2Ist

Frank Miller and Lynn Varley’s 300: https://amzn.to/48CBbks

Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons’ Watchmen: https://amzn.to/3TPAyzM

… as well as almost any damn thing published by DC, even in its darkest days, in the last ten years.

Oh, and there’s this space opera – Lord knows more of a pastiche of many other space operas that came before it – that you might want to take a look at: Star Wars: A New Hope: https://amzn.to/3ROp9xL. Actually worth watching, unlike Rebel Moon.

And I’m all over the place:
