They’ll both arrive on Netflix on August 2
Netflix has foretell that it’llrelease bothRebel Moondirector ’s cuts on August 2 .

Why It’s Best For Rebel Moon To Release Both Snyder Cuts On The Same Day
Netflix already tried and failed to build anticipation around Rebel Moon
publish both of the R - ratedRebel Mooncuts on the same day is the skilful waiver scheme for Netflix . They already stress leaving a few month between each one with the initial PG-13 tone ending , and it did n’t go too well . OnceRebel Moon – Part One : A nestling of Firehad been resect by critics and dismissed by audiences , there was no anticipation whatsoever for the story ’s supposedly epic conclusioninRebel Moon – Part Two : The Scargiver . If looker had been able to go straight fromPart OnetoPart Two , it might ’ve been a unlike story .
The first part spends its full runtime getting the team together , buy the farm from one louche spot to the next and picking up interchangeable gunslinger along the means . It ’s a tedious , long - thread adaptation of what could ’ve been a montage in a more tightly edit , individual - motion picture version ofRebel Moon . The second part is a slight improvement in that it deliver on the mellow - octane military action promise by Snyder ’s “ Seven Samuraiin space ” assumption . But it was still mar by one - dimensional characters and a complete lack of excited engagement . Each movie ’s flaw would n’t have been as obvious if they could ’ve been viewed together .
There ’s already been flock of backlash to just the notion of Snyder releasing longer , R - rated adaptation of theRebel Moonfilms . This is very dissimilar fromtheJustice Leaguesituation , where Snyder return to a undertaking he ’d had to depart to complete his uncompleted visual sensation . The promise ofRebel Moon ’s theatre director ’s cuts always seemed like it was more of a selling scheme by Netflix to get more proceedings find out . Sincethe original versions were n’t well - receive anyway , it ’s best for Netflix and Snyder to just release the director ’s swing and get them out there already . There ’s no use building suspense .

How Different Will Rebel Moon’s Zack Snyder Cuts Be?
For starters, the director’s cuts are much longer
Snyder has badger that the R - ratedRebel Moondirector ’s gash are completely different picture than the PG-13 versions . They wo n’t just be the same flick with some CG blood splash added into the military action fit . For starters , the director ’s cuts will be a passel longer . Whereas the original PG-13 version of theRebel Moonfilms collectively operate for just over four hours , the roentgen - rated versions clock in at over six hours . Part Oneis expanded from 134 minutes to 201 minutes andPart Twois expanded from 122 hour to 170 minute of arc .
The long runtime suggests that Snyder wo n’t just be extending scenes that appeared in the original films;he might actually be adding in scenes that were too racy for the PG-13 versions . One of the grownup complaints about the PG-13Rebel Mooncuts was that the characters lack depth . Audiences could n’t connect with them emotionally , so they did n’t really worry when they got killed . If the roentgen - ratedRebel Moonmovies include a few extra scenes that round out those characters , then they could really improve the view experience .
