I’ve been writing about video games, television and movies for Forbes for over 10 years, and you may have seen my reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. I cover all manner of console and PC games, but if it’s about looting or shooting, I’m definitely there. If I’m watching something, it’s usually science fiction, horror or superheroic.
Netflix has thrown so much money and advertising into Zack Snyder ’s attempt to craft his own Star Wars universe, and the result is an absolute, utter critical disaster. We know that for sure now that the second film is out,, which as of right now is reviewing worse than Part 1, despite this being when the action was supposed to pick up after the assembling of the main “team” in the first film.
While this number keeps fluctuating, early reviews have Rebel Moon Part 2: The Scargiver somewhere between an 8% and 14% on. So far this is lower than the first film which had a 21% from 173 critics in the end, and a better, but not good, 57% audience score.Again, this is not just “critics hate Zack Snyder.” Compared to his overall filmography, these films are uniquely terrible.
Things are complicated for Rebel Moon as Snyder has seemed to indicate that these two films are the “corporate” PG-13 cuts while his unleashed R-rated cuts coming out this summer are essentially different movies. This entire thing has been a marketing gimmick by him and Netflix but it seems pretty clear they should have just gone with his original take and not neutered it for…why, exactly? Why would they bother? It’s not like they need to be concerned about PG-13 versus R-rated ticket sales.
Snyder also seems…a bit out of touch with reality when it comes to Rebel Moon, saying recently he believes that he needsto tell the story. After this, it’s not even clear Netflix will allow him a third film. If viewership is there it may not matter what review scores are, but the first film did not break into Netflix’s top 10 original movies list in the end.
