What Is Rebel Moon Rated & Is Zack Snyder’s Netflix Movie Appropriate For Kids?

A parent reading the rating description for «Rebel Moon» might notice that «sexual assault» content warning and want to know more. Unfortunately, until the film’s release, it’s impossible to know how graphic certain scenes may be. Viewers can expect «Rebel Moon» to fall in line with what fans might typically expect from a Zack Snyder film, and the creator has a portfolio of both PG-13 and R-rated features.

If viewers have seen R-rated Snyder movies like «Watchmen,» «300,» and «Dawn of the Dead,» at the very least, they can expect «Rebel Moon» to be less intense or uncomfortable than those films. Meanwhile, this does put the filmmaker’s latest on the same level as «Sucker Punch,» «Man of Steel,» and «Batman v. Superman.» So, if parents wouldn’t want their kids watching those movies, you should probably hold off on letting them watch «Rebel Moon.»

Either way, Snyder himself told Vanity Fair that the first version to come out will be a movie «that anyone can enjoy and watch.» However, the director did note that there would be an extended R-rated cut coming down the line for those who want to get the whole story. The first part of «Rebel Moon» is currently set to be released on Netflix on December 23, 2023, while the second part will be out on April 19, 2024.
