Following Snyder’s exit from Justice League in 2017, his departure ignited the #ReleasetheSnyderCut movement, with the aim of reinstating him and rectifying Whedon’s alterations. Nevertheless, amidst these efforts, Snyder’s attention shifted towards Rebel Moon, accompanied by heightened anticipation. Curiously, Rebel Moon is crafted in collaboration with Netflix, granting Snyder an elevated level of creative autonomy.

Zack Snyder is returning with Rebel Moon, a cinematic masterpiece that surpasses even James Gunn’s DCEU in CGI brilliance. Further, with an $80 million budget, Snyder’s space creation outshone even the $300 million allocated for big budgets. This film not only showcases cutting-edge CGI with a captivating human-spider hybrid antagonist but also stands out due to its strategically aligned budget.

In contrast, The Flash stumbled as the worst superhero movie flop due to lackluster CGI. The film’s visual effects, especially in scenes spanning dimensions, disappointed fans. Director Andy Muschietti defended the choice, claiming it was intentional, but this explanation did little to alleviate the audience’s letdown.
