“Star Wars” by Zack Snyder? It may sound strange, but it often describes the portrayal of the Netflix project Rebel Moon. They wanted to produce not one, but two films for the new sci-fi brand. The first of these two films was released on the platform last year, while the second is in the starting blocks.
There was definitely praise, at least from Netflix itself. The audience, on the other hand, was often anything but enthusiastic about the new project. So how does Snyder himself classify the previous criticism of Rebel Moon?
No counterattack from Snyder
The director was explicitly asked about the many negative reviews during an interview with Empire magazine. “I don’t really have an answer (to that),” were the 58-year-old’s first words. “For some reason my films have always been polarizing. It doesn't seem like there's anything in the film that would warrant such a loud reaction.”
It's certainly no secret that Snyder polarizes people with his films. Think, for example, of the numerous discussions surrounding the so-called “Snyder Cut” of the film Justice League or possible debates about a “Snyderverse”. While some fans still want the director to return to the DC cosmos, others may be more than relieved about his absence.
According to the latest statements, a comeback at DC seems to be out of the question. You should still feel reminded of the “Snyderverse” when you think of other statements made by the filmmaker. In the case of Rebel Moon, we are faced with a director's cut that is supposed to increase the level of depiction of violence even further.
