Original review for A Child of Fire (PG-13 cut):
Hi. My name is FeastMode and I'm a sci-fi junkie. After watching this movie, I'm ecstatic to have witnessed the creation of this beautiful sci-fi world. I'm immediately invested. I want more. Now.
There are a few things you should expect from a Zack Snyder movie:
1) Stunning visuals. This entire movie is sci-fi eye candy with high levels of imagination.
2) Amazing music. Of course it's by Junkie XL. He has done many of Snyder's other movies.
3) Lots of BEASTLY slow-motion shots. Some people complain about him overusing it. Not me. So many of those scenes give me goosebumps, especially with the music playing.
I was dreading having to wait a year or longer for the next one. But it's scheduled for April 2024!!!
I.
Can't.
Wait.

Review for Chalice of Blood (director's cut):
Wow. I was a little nervous he would overindulge with too many unnecessary scenes that slow down the pacing. Wrong. I approve of everything that was added. Entire amazing scenes. Significant character development which makes you care about each one.
While the original cut feels more like surface level enjoyment, this version feels deeper and more meaningful. More epic. I felt Lord of the Rings vibes, going on this journey with all of these characters.
I know it shouldn't matter this much, but... the violence and gore in this version is pristine. Numerous parts made my jaw drop. I wish every movie was rated R or unrated. Enough with the limitations.
In conclusion... awesome. I doubt I'll ever watch the original again. Snyder cut all day.
