I've been in the mood for a sci-fi adventure inside a massive universe for some time now so I was pretty excited for this movie since the first trailer came out. Unfortunately this movie did not deliver.

Rather than Rebel Moon being inspired by past movies it instead feels embarrassingly derivative. So many things seem as if they were picked from different blockbusters and mashed up into one movie.

The action scenes are a slo-mo mine field. The heavy use of slow motion feels uninspired and is more distracting than anything else.

None of the actors performances are worth mentioning. The dialogue didn't give anyone much to work with.

The music score is completely pedestrian and unmemorable. The CGI is good and that is really the only part of the movie I felt entertained by.

Rebel Moon is a campy snooze fest with good cgi. I don't think a Zack Snyder directors cut is going to save this one.

Marvel and Disney have been in quiet a tailspin in the post Disney era. After Kenobi and recent Marvel offerings I was just to give about to call it a day and retire from even entertainment the idea of watching new entries.

For Andor, the first 2 episodes were decent enough to keep me coming back for another episode. The 3rd episode is where I started to appreciate what this series was setting up and the tone it was going to carry through the season. By mid season I felt this was definitely one the must watches of the year.

I am looking forward to season 2 and do yourself a favor and be sure to stay through the credits of the finale episode!

Star wars is to tv what phone games are to video games. It's nothing more than a revenue generator anymore. It's really unfortunate that nothing more than fan made level of quality is all that can be expected from this once great IP. Guess it's time for me to stop hoping that something good is just around the corner.
