There are two #ZackSnyder flicks that I really like: Dawn of the Dead and, specially, Sucker Punch (sue me). Overall I generally like his visual flair, but his projects tend to be really hit and miss, IMO. And when he misses, he really does. Case in point: the AliExpress Star Wars palimpsest that is #RebelMoon, or what you'll find in the dictionary when you search "sh*tshow".
Welp...that was a fucking waste of time. A blurry, brown, empty mess. It's literally a two-hour recruitment run, in which every character gets one scene for themselves, after which they step into the background for the next #StarWars rip-of...uh, pastiche location. Every two scenes it's intercut with flashbacks from Sofia Boutella's character.
#RebelMoon review: First things first--I'm probably kinder to #ZackSnyder than a lot of people because I love DC Comics and he used to be the steward of its movie universe. I do think it's unfortunate that it's become extremely hard to judge this director's work on its own merits because of his rabid "cult", and the endless comparisons of his product with the Marvel movies, which many people still view with rose-tinted glasses, even though a good number of them are schlock. (1/7)
I just watched the teaser trailer for "Rebel Moon," on Netflix, and this is my reaction:"Zack Snyder Rips Off EVERYTHING!"
It's pretty. It's stylish. And every single bit of it seems stolen from some other well known movie or franchise. Star Wars, Dune, Avatar, You name it, chopped up like coarse sausage and squeezed into a glossy Zack Snyder skin.
The first film is titled* "Rebel Moon Part 1: A Child of Fire"* and the second is titled "Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver".
Rebel Moon will at least be a trilogy, with the first two already being filmed to back. Part 1: A Child Of Fire will be released on Netflix (and possibly w/ limited theater release) December 22, 2023 and the second part in 2024.
The trailer for Part 1 will drop this Tuesday 8/22 at Gamescom!
Zack Snyder's "Rebel Moon" film is gonna get a trailer at Gamescom next week on Tuesday (8/22)! I just found out/remembered about the movie today actually and I can't wait. Looks epic and a cool new original sci-fi world and story. This is a story he had actually pitched to Lucasfilm and they rejected it heh heh...
