He gets a lot of stick but I actually like Snyder as a director, my only issues are with him as a writer. My favourite Snyder film is still his debut that was written by James Gunn, which is the Dawn of the Dead remake. So onto my feelings about Rebel Moon, and due to me taking so long to write anything about it, probably highlights my feelings. It was underwhelming, despite by love of the cast, director and the things it's blatantly paying homage to. The first act is fine and sets up the world and introduces the characters, Then the second act just keeps introducing a lot of new characters, and the third act kinda ends but also undermines the third act by setting up the second film and lacking any dramatic and emotional weight. It feels clunky, overly stretched out and pieced together, but Boutella is great in the lead role and it has Snyder's trademark visual flair.
