Yesterday I watched Rebel Moon Part One.
I actually liked it for the most part, yes the Film does follow Spice Girls - Spice Up Your Life's lyrics of "people of the world" in the casting department, so for example members such as Alf and LT want to steer well clear of this Film.
And personally I do believe that there was a character that was underdeveloped in the Film, and without spoiling exactly who it is, they won't be returning for the sequel, which meant that the character was kind of a waste of time imo.
However I would say that I thought that the action was fun, the villain was really good (kudos to both Rebel Moon and Dune 2 for bringing back iconic villain performances again) and I do think that the Film establishes it's story and lore reasonably well.
Do I think that the Film is a masterpiece? No.
Do I think that the Film is over hated? Imo yes, there have been worse Films that I have seen over the years, a recent one for myself being The Conjuring.
And my Dad was saying that there should be a Video Game based on Rebel Moon, and whilst I agree with him that it could be a fun idea, I do also wonder how long it would take before the western Video Game developers would decide to make Sofia Boutella's character model look ugly? Because she is an attractive woman imo that could be marketed in a similar way to Lara Croft, but we all know what western developers are like today in the Video Game industry.
But if they could actually faithfully recreate the characters of Rebel Moon, then yeah I'd be with my Dad on cheerleading for a Video Game adaptation, the world is there for it after all.
