If you saw A Bugs Life you haven't missed much outside of even more slow motion.

Snyder's real genius may be the concept of releasing what is essentially a rough draft, waiting to see what does and doesn't work, then releasing a "Director's Cut" that tries to amend those issues. As someone who isn't actually all for the concept of "special editions" or "extended editions" I'm not against this idea, only that it be more honest about it.
Well, the 'rough draft' of Justice League was really Whedon's attempt to finish it after Snyder had to pull out because of a tragic family matter.
The "Snyder cut" was better, but not the top tier piece of work the Snyder bros make it out to be. There was no 'Snyder cut' for the tragedy that was "Martha"... I mean "Batman v. Superman" to make it better.
With Rebel Moon, Snyder isn't fixing a problem another director made, but his own problem... which he's probably blind to. My prediction is that it will include more violence and sex to sell it. And it will be number one on Netflix... for a week. Just like Rebel Moon was until it quickly dropped off of Netflix's Top Ten.

Justice League was being actively retooled during production due to the poor response to Batman V Superman before Snyder's departure. The film was in a state dubbed "unwatchable and joyless" before Whedon made the horrendous decision to act as hatchet-man.

‘Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver’ Review: An Even More Rote Story, but a Bigger and Better Battle
The second chapter of Zack Snyder's intergalactic epic is just as derivative, but the climactic showdown sizzles. And guess what? It may not be over.

The perennial cry of the out of touch who think their opinion is objective reality and there must be something wrong with anyone who disagrees...
Yikes. Not even worth nuking microwave popcorn for.

I watched a few minutes of this last night, and without judging the whole thing prematurely, I will say one thing.
I know sci-fi movies tend to have silly names for people and places, but the intro recap was Anthony Hopkins(!) rattling off a bunch of nonsense words and it honestly felt like several minutes of literal gibberish.
I was amused.

Well, I finished this.
For some reason a movie that seems to want to be a sci-fi epic just returns to a village where they are farming grain.
We are reunited with a group of characters I barely remember. We get a flashback backstory for each of them and I do not care. I couldn't name or describe any of the main characters. Whenever a character dies there's no emotional payoff.
Why is this so focused on the need to spend what appears to be massive resources to collect a relatively small amount of grain? I know this is inspired by other movies that involved farmers, but this is supposed to be sci-fi.
Look at James Cameron's Avatar movies. The story about the bad guys raving a planet to exploit the natural resources is pretty standard stuff, but at least there's a sci-fi aspect to it. They're after a rare metal in the first and a mystical tonic of youth made from whale brain in the second. It's got that fantasy element.
The good news is, after suffering through the first half of the movie, we then get an extended battle sequence that is mostly fun and well executed. The story never clicked for me but that latter half is entertaining and well done.
