I’m a big fan of Star Wars, going all the way back to 1977 when my Dad took me and my brother to the theater to see the original. We also love Westerns, and so when the world first got introduced to Mando and the iconic gunslinger music, I had high hopes for these new stories in the Star Wars Universe.
Settling in to my seat at the theater yesterday, I was excited for the new Mandalorian & Grogu movie. We had a good audience in attendance, and the first scene was pretty exciting and cool, but then it all went downhill in spectacular fashion. First, all of the best parts of the movie were in the trailers, and I hate those kind of spoilers. It left nothing to surprise or thrill me.
The middle of the film was a snoozefest. The CGI of the Hutt’s was so bad, slimy in the worst possible way. The actors all felt stilted and the dialogue must have been written by childish AI generators. At least they got paid….
The 2nd half of the movie, I’ll admit, was better, but at this point it was too late to save the film, at least for me. I was so disappointed. No story, no character development, and it wasn’t even that funny or cute. Who was this movie even made for? I can’t imagine kids, families, or fans of Star Wars would enjoy it. But perhaps you will….
