What I saw
- Space Ships, electric doors vs using Deer Horses to pull a plow
- (explained in the movie though! They want to be closer to the land)
- Random Medieval Music
- The Hans Landa Scene from Inglorious Basterds - telegraphed so hard, but lacking the tension.
- The Plot of Seven Samurai - sure it's a classic, I'm sure Snyder will put his own spin on it
- PG Injuries from "plasma bullets" and "light saber" burns
- The Team Up sequence of Suicide Squad - 2 seconds of pleading, sure I'll joint. And complete with Asian Sword Lady
- Speaking of Light Saber? No Light Katana? No..something
- cuts through anything, waits until end of fight to use the most effective weapon
- The Bar from every Star Wars ever
- Bacta Tank Action - not clear if Japanese Tentacle Action
- Some John Woo slides
- Trademark Snyder Slo-Mo
- To be clear - the fight scenes were a level above Boba Fett the series, I don't like those either.
The characters
- John Carter/Tarzan? + the Avatar scene? Really?
- Incel Farmer offering up War Chica to the big bad hunter...why? It's clear he likes her...was this to set up his manning up at the end of the film?
- Charlie Hunnam heel turn - predictable (which is fine, it was telegraphed pretty hard)
- I guess they had some LOTR Orc masks lying around.
- Digimon Honsu and Brother from the Matrix - who was gonna lead the troops into battle?
- Furiosa Rebel - she got screen time because?
- The most evilest Space Nazi ever
This was gonna be the year that I stopped being a pirate. This was gonna be the film...
Naw, I'm good.
And of course I'm watching the 2nd movie. I WATCHED ALL OF SHE-HULK AND MS MARVEL. I love punishment.
If he releases an extended Snyder cut, giving all the characters more room to breath, I'll watch that.
This just didn't really knock it out of the park for me.
I guess I'm gonna pull up Denzel's Magnificent Seven and rewatch that.
