Zack Snyder is all set to bring his R-rated Star Wars-esque project to his fans in the form of Rebel Moon. The project was one of the most anticipated events in pop culture. As this collaboration with Netflix enabled Snyder to start his mega franchise after the widely renowned DC debacle, the fans were extremely excited about it.
Recently the first part of the movie premiered at the CCXP 23, the early fan reactions have already marked the movie as a bona fide Zack Snyder classic.
Rebel Moon was originally pitched as an R-rated Star Wars before Disney rejected it due to its mature tone. However, Zack Snyder moved on to Netflix and started working on it as a separate franchise, and looks like he didn’t go wrong with his decision.
Is Rebel Moon a Zack Snyder masterpiece?
Zack Snyder‘s take on DC is quite controversial as we can often spot a catastrophic difference between the audience and critic ratings. Projects like Man of Steel, Batman V. Superman: Dawn of Justice, and the Snyder Cut are some of the biggest examples of it.
Rebel Moon- Part 1: A Child of Fire is the first part of the upcoming intergalactic saga. It will focus on some heroes assembled to protect the moon of Veldt from the evil Imperium. According to producer Deborah Snyder’s statements to Empire, the movie is an amalgamation of everything Zack Snyder has done so far- “I feel like this movie is an accumulation of everything he’s done thus far.”
Now as the early reactions of the movie have started dropping on the internet, most of them have been highly impressive. Many fans have admitted the electrifying story and performances to be beautiful. More classic styles of Zack Snyder like his iconic music and slo-mo action sequences are also present and looks like Rebel Moon delivers, even if to only a certain faction of the audience.
Fans hail Rebel Moon as a Zack Snyder classic
After we have received several reviews from the CCXP 23, it can’t be denied that the Rebel Moon is receiving praise from a large section of the audience. While some aspects undoubtedly received criticism, the praise for the movie is also significant.
We have collected some tweets to show the current reaction of the Snyder fans who hail the movie as an absolute win.

Ok, I’ve seen enough of the bad reviews to know haters are just in full force to trash Snyder, but the movie is actually really good.#RebelMoon pic.twitter.com/4MdF4TsolQ

Now it will be a lie to say that the movie doesn’t come with its share of criticism and hate. However, it is the tradition of Snyder movies to create a polarising reaction and it’s important to take care of both sides of the spectrum. We are very near to its worldwide release and it will be interesting to see whether the movie can appeal to the masses.
Rebel Moon- Part 1: A Child of Fire will be released on December 22, 2023, on Netflix, following a limited theatrical release on December 15, 2023.
