Everything wrong with Zack Snyder's Rebel Moon.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Rebel Moon was among the most anticipated sci-fi franchises of modern times, but something clearly went wrong with it. Although Rebel Moon's production officially began sometime in 2021, the film has technically been in development for over two decades. Zack Snyder conceived the core ideas behind the film franchise's narrative when he was in college and even discussed it with co-writer Kurt Johnstad in 1997.
However, Rebel Moon seems a little too derivative of the George Lucas franchise, preventing it from etching its own unique identity. Since Rebel Moon indirectly attempts to leverage Star Wars' popularity and formula, one expects it to be equally good than the George Lucas movies. Unfortunately, as several reviews suggest, the Rebel Moon franchise pales compared to the iconic cinematic saga it attempts to recreate or reimagine.
For instance, Kora's action sequences are some of the best aspects of both Rebel Moon movies. However, the first film keeps her backstory a mystery almost halfway through its runtime. Even when her backstory is finally revealed, the film merely tells viewers about her past instead of showing the events that shaped her.
The many chaotic, unresolved story elements in the film are also ridden with classic sci-fi tropes and cliché dialogue that further hinder Rebel Moon's ability to achieve long-term success. By relying more on voiceover expositions than visual storytelling, the Rebel Moon movies also make it challenging for viewers to truly visualize the scale of its world-building and overarching franchise potential.
Zack Snyder's Justice League outclassed the 2017 iteration of the film because it presented Snyder's uncompromised vision for the superhero franchise and renewed appreciation for the director's prowess as a storyteller. However, the fact that sections from the Rebel Moon movies have been purposefully dissected only to get more eyes on an expanded version of the overarching story kills the idea of building genuine anticipation for the director's cut.
