This April 19, the second part of Rebel Moon on Netflix. Zack Snyder's most recent work, to the surprise of his most loyal fans, was a disappointment for users and critics. In fact, right now it only has a 10% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
We know that curiosity can get the better of you and maybe you'll end up watching this movie. If you have already fallen into temptation, we are here to save your beautiful eyes, brain and ears with other similar audiovisual products, but made with much higher quality. Maybe you'll get back some of the neurons Snyder took from you.
The movies you can watch to forget about Rebel Moon
Star Wars because it is clear that Rebel Moon wanted to be the same
Let's start the recommendations with Star Wars. After all Snyder said that Rebel Moon It originally started as a movie from the same universe. Since his idea was rejected, he preferred to make his own story but the inspiration is too noticeable.
Both films have a rebellion, a young farmer who becomes a hero, an evil empire, a very own robot with an English accent and laser swords. It's just that the saga created by George Lucas makes more sense and has more interesting moments.
We particularly recommend the original trilogy, as we consider that they are the ones that remain interesting throughout the entire story. From the prequel trilogy you could only see Revenge of the Sith. We'd better not even talk about the most recent ones, because the goal is to make you feel better after watching Rebel Moonnot worse.
Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa
Another of the not hidden inspirations of Rebel Moon is Seven Samurai by the great Japanese filmmaker Akira Kurosawa. In this film we follow an old samurai who sets out in search of other warriors to help him defend a small town ravaged by bandits.
If this story sounds familiar to you, it is because it is basically the same premise as Zack Snyder's film. Only instead of samurai they are different space warriors and instead of bandits we have imperial soldiers. Plus Kurosawa gave us a true work of art with his film.
This will be the oldest movie that we will recommend to you and that will surely make some run away. But don't be afraid of black and white and give it a chance. Also, keep in mind that this movie was an inspiration for many more, not just Rebel Moon. If you see something that looks familiar, it probably came from here.
Bugs shows that even a children's movie is better than Rebel Moon
Speaking of movies inspired by Seven Samurai by Akira Kurosawa here we can put Bugs from Pixar. This story follows Flick, an ant who seeks to recruit warriors to stop a group of grasshoppers that want to take food from his anthill.
Although the premise is the same, it presents interesting twists. Like the fact that warriors are just circus performers. It also has the magic of Pixar's early years that makes it a very entertaining film for children and adults. Not to mention endearing and very beloved characters. Something I would like to have Rebel Moon but it just doesn't do it.
Serenity is a good off-the-beaten-path science fiction option
Now, even if you want similar sci-fi lame stories, Serenity can be a great option. It does a better job of getting us into a spatial conflict with characters you come to care about and even grow attached to.
Although it is based on the television series, Fireflyyou don't need to see it to understand. Its director, Joss Whedon, does a very good job of introducing us to this world and the importance of the journey of its protagonists. Furthermore, the actors have great chemistry between them and the script makes it pass you by like water. Yeah Rebel Moon didn't give you the sci-fi adventure you were looking for, this certainly will.
Guardians of the Galaxy achieved in one part what Rebel Moon could not in two
Both parts of Rebel Moon They share that their characters are not interesting at all. The worst thing of all is that in two parts Zack Snyder fails to make any of them truly round, they all seem like caricatures of what they could have been. That doesn't happen in Guardians of the Galaxy.
Here director James Gunn introduces us to a group of criminals from different parts of the universe who end up uniting for the common good. The big difference is that here it gives us very deep characters who also continued to develop in the sequels.
Star Lord with his loneliness and the memories that music brings him; Gamora, the assassin who was forced to transform into a monster; Drax, the father who lost everything; Rocket, the experiment who feels no place in life and Groot, the last of his kind. We know all of them and their motivations perfectly in just one film, which helps us care about the outcome of their story.
We recommend the first one because it was the one that introduced us to this team of characters, but in general the entire trilogy of Guardians of the Galaxy it's very good. If we look at the work of James Gunn in these films and that of Zack Snyder with Rebel Moon, it is already clear why Warner preferred to give Gunn the reins of DC's future in cinema.
So put together your plan and look for these movies to take away that burning in your eyes that left you Rebel Moon. We assure you that you will not regret watching these tapes and that they will be much more worth it. If Zack Snyder makes good on his threat to give us another 6 movies from this universe, then don't forget to bookmark this article. Maybe you need to go back.
