Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire Review - IGN

Zack Snyder's stab at a Star War is let down by a derivative patchwork script, mediocre action sequences and a superficial story.

Hard to believe a synder joint is this bad.

 

[EviLore]

Wouldn't shock me if the movie's bad, but the reviewer is not exactly trustworthy. She gave a positive review of The Book of Boba Fett and failed to identify any of its major problems. She also identifies as a DEI feminist and mentioned that some plot points triggered her.

 

[Sleepwalker]

IGN sucks tho so ill wait for more reviews

 

[midnightAI]

Don't worry, this will be another movie with a massive disconnect between 'reviewers' and the general public.

 

[FeralEcho]

....and mentioned that some plot points triggered her.

It's a movie....wtf is wrong with people...

 

[Alcibiades]

Not interested if there is no theatrical - this movie more than most Netflix movies seems to fit a theatrical release. I saw Army of the Dead and Glass Onion in theaters and they were great, why not Rebel Moon.

I cancelled my Netflix a few months ago after finishing all of Black Mirror.

Never heard of her, and her book only has 6 ratings on Amazon, all from what appear to be her friends or promotional reviews. So this appears to be a bit delusional.

Anyway, without getting too deep in the weeds on this one, safe to say her opinions won't align very well with most GAF users.

That's because it does. Anything from Snore Snyder is shit

Watching the trailer

Looked like some of the most generic crap I seen lol

 

[ahtlas7]

The last trailer turned me off. Zack is all used up.

 

[jonnyp]

The latest trailer makes it look like utter shite. Never liked anything Snyder has ever been involved in either way.

 

[Days like these...]

Not surprised

Same. Will watch it when part two releases. Dont like cliffhangers.

 

[AJUMP23]

SO more Star wars.


IGN sucks according to me.

Also IGN gave MCU's biggest failure flop:

Ouch.

 

[mortal]

Sounds like another Sucker Punch.

More or less the impression I had after those trailers. Seemed like a checklist of action movie tropes, with not enough cohesion to make it work.
At the very least it's not another adaptation, reboot, or sequel. So it has that going for it. I'm sure it'll find its audience though.

It's getting a limited theatrical release exclusively in 70mm IMAX from December 15-21 at select locations in Los Angeles, New York City, Toronto, and London. So, go see it if it's showing near you. I would go see it myself, but I'm pretty busy at the moment and will just wait to catch it on Netflix next week.

These DEI loons need to see fictional worlds reflective of the world we live in today.

 

[Toons]

It would've been more surprising to me if this movie opened to excellent reviews.

Snyder isn't a great filmmaker and his best works are stories already written that he adapted.

I love Snyder's films for the same reason I love Michael Bay films. I find them fun. They're not supposed to be meaningful or thought-provoking. They both know how to work the camera and add visual flair where it matters. Fuuuuck the haters.

 

[Mattdaddy]

Damn I was rooting for it but can't say Im surprised :/

Ill still watch cause Im a glutton for punishment.

I think they meant the spiritual successor to the shitquels

 

[squeakywheel]

I'll watch it anyway and form my own opinion.

 

[DKehoe]

That’s a pity. With me having a bunch of free time over the Christmas period I might still give it a watch and see what I think.

Although I was reading that there’s already been an extended directors cut announced? So maybe I’ll wait for that.

 

[Danteyke223]

HEY Remember when that tabletop company made a TableTop Game with an In Universe lore which was around 300 pages, but then Netflix suddenly forged a reason to never release the game, and take all the narrative built by them. I can bet that the sequels after the two movies will have some of that lore in it.

Probably the best approach.

Bloodsport is one of my favorite movies and it’s objectively a bad movie. Still a great watch though!

 

[SpiceRacz]

I didn't expect much. Probably will be a fun popcorn flick to watch with a couple beers.

Some of us don't have unlimited time. If everyone says it sucks I'm not wasting precious time.

IGN sucks harder imo

 

[Nester99]

I don’t know if the movies is good but I know I don’t trust this reviewer or IGN at all.

 

[Fbh]

It's a Zack Snyder movie.
I expect cool visuals and mediocre everything else.

 

[DeepEnigma]

I don’t know if the movies is good but I know I don’t trust this reviewer or IGN at all.

So she's an NPC.

 

[SJRB]

I'd watch a Zach Snyder movie over the IGN website any day.

The difference is Michael Bay understands hes making schlock for the masses and teenage boys. Hes outright stated it.

Snyder thinks his movies are high art and true cinema or whatever else he goes for.

Im glad you enjoy them I guess.

It's

I learned the other day that this actor and BJ Novak were friends with Bronze Age Pervert in university.

 

[Rockondevil]

I generally love Snyder movies and I fully expect this to have great cinematography and action and the story and dialogue to be average.
I'd rather wait and see it myself than these reviewers who want clicks because they're hating the next Snyder movie.

There's too many jumping on the Snyder hate bandwagon these days purely because they didn't like his take on the DCEU.
Outside of DCEU he's done amazing films like Watchmen, Sucker Punch, 300, Dawn of the Dead just to same some of the more popular movies.

 

[Lord Panda]

 

[Men_in_Boxes]

Notify me when the audience reviews start rolling in. Critics be damned.

 

[FunkMiller]

Not surprised this is reviewing so badly. Snyder can’t tell a fucking story to save his life.

Dawn Of The Dead remains his best film… and he didn’t write any of it.
