Zack Snyder Reflects on Criticism of ‘Rebel Moon’ and the Lack of a Rebuttal
Sofia Boutella, star of ‘Rebel Moon,’ expressed her emotional reaction to critics’ reviews impacting her. However, Zack Snyder seemed unfazed by the negativity towards the first film. ‘Rebel Moon’ initially began as a ‘Star Wars’ pitch to Lucasfilm. The plot centers on a former soldier rallying warriors to combat the evil Imperium.
Boutella shared how critical reviews of the film affected her deeply, noting the dedication of the project’s team. Despite the backlash, she remains proud of her involvement. Snyder plans to release R-rated director’s cuts of both ‘Rebel Moon’ films, promising intense content that differs from the theatrical versions.
The first ‘Rebel Moon’ film received a low rating on Rotten Tomatoes, with critics citing its lack of originality. Snyder defended Netflix’s model of movie releases during an interview, highlighting the high viewership numbers for ‘Rebel Moon.’ The upcoming sequel, ‘Rebel Moon – Part Two: The Scargiver,’ is set to premiere on April 19.
