The second part of Zack Snyder’s production on Netflix has just been revealed in a very first trailer, and fans are divided: some love it, others hate it.
The director is no stranger to strong opinions: Zack Snyder has always been divisive in his creations, and is a big fan of the “director’s cut” , offering the author of a film the possibility of showing the vision that he had of his production before it passed into the hands of other project managers.
The filmmaker always makes very clear artistic decisions to highlight his stories, and if it is not to everyone’s taste, there is one who has decided to trust him: we are talking about Netflix here. While the director could not reach an agreement with Lucasfilms to create his own Star Wars film, the streaming platform opened its doors to him. Rebel Moon was born, and its first part, Child of Fire, was released on December 22, 2023 with the promise of a sequel in its part 2 already titled L’Entaileuse.
As the release of this second opus draws closer, Netflix has unveiled a first trailer. And while many fans are over the moon, others have also expressed a lack of interest, revealing a very divided audience on Rebel Moon.
Spectators are divided over the first trailer for part 2 of Rebel Moon
The first trailer for part 2 of Rebel Moon, entitled The Slasher, was released on March 18, 2024. And spectators reacted very quickly, revealing very different and often extreme opinions.
LOL! Wtf is this garbage?! Literally feels like a teenager with a huge budget directing for the first time.

“I forgot what happened in part 1 / Nothing”
Will there be an effort in the scenario or like the first one will we know what to expect? 😁

It seems less worse than the first one.

The press review of part 1 does not really help to make the sequel shine: Child of Fire was treated to a very lukewarm reception, even frosty for some. Le Monde, in its 2-star review, indicated that “the first part of the science fiction diptych offered by the director and the VOD platform will not disorient “Star Wars” fans. He won’t distract them either.”
For its part, Écran lar ge described the film as “a beautiful model of flashy cheesiness” and Première criticized an aspect that was “too cheesy, too poorly written, too poorly acted” , and yet did not go so far as to be “quite crazy “.
But all is not lost, since others have appreciated Zack Snyder’s film, like IGN France noting that “the director is having fun, and is in no way misleading us about the merchandise so there is no harm in it follow joyfully into his world. Except perhaps we would have preferred the long and mature version straight away, for that matter.”
Rebel Moon: The Slasher will be released on April 19, 2024 on Netflix.
