Rebel Moon - Part One: A Child of Fire
As someone who's enjoyed most of <PERSON> films, I was hoping Rebel Moon would be at least a fun sci-fi action adventure but alas, I found it a visually empty slog. Granted, there's a Director's Cut that's supposed to come out soon and this is only Part 1 of a story so maybe my thoughts will change once I see the true version, but judging the one I did watch, this is a blatant rip-off of Seven Samurai, Star Wars, and much better sci-fi films with very little of the excitement that those features have. A dull and uninspired team-building adventure full of bland exposition and thinly written characters. 952
Once in a blue moon, there'll be a cool moment and some of the visuals are neat. <PERSON> makes for a decent lead and <PERSON> does the most he can playing such a one-dimensional villain. Aside from that though, this is a hollow nothingburger of a movie and I'm baffled <PERSON> didn't just released this as one whole in its truest (and hopefully better) form. 698
