Netflix’s Latest Film Rebel Moon Attracts Criticism and Praise
Netflix subscribers have been flooding social media with their reactions to Zack Snyder’s latest film, “Rebel Moon,” which has become the streaming service’s most-watched title. The fantasy film, released on December 21st, has received a mix of negative reviews from critics, but surprisingly, it has garnered a 69 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes.
Opinions on the film seem to be divisive, with many fans expressing their support for Snyder, but also voicing their disappointment with the pacing of the movie. Several subscribers have called for the release of a longer director’s cut, which Snyder has confirmed exists, but won’t be available until 2024.
Critics have been more scathing in their assessments, with publications like The Independent calling the film “a borderline incoherent shambles” in a one-star review. Additionally, Forbes has suggested that Netflix’s decision to hold back the director’s cut may ultimately harm the film.
Snyder, known for his fan base, has been open about the existence of an extended cut, describing it as “almost a different universe” from the released version. “Rebel Moon” is the first part of a two-part franchise, set to conclude in 2024, and stars a notable cast including Sofia Boutella, Djimon Hounsou, and Anthony Hopkins.
Despite the mixed reception, “Rebel Moon” continues to draw attention on Netflix, leaving many eager to see how the film’s storyline will unfold in the anticipated director’s cut set to be released in 2024.
