So tired of the 3-4 posters who hate on movies they will never see yet waste more time in the Threads on them then they actually would watching the movie.

I give it a 7/10. It was enjoyable. The first half of the movie is better than the second half, the pacing is bad (especially in the second half, which is weird because the first half is awesome. First half felt better than Solo while the second half dragged bad until the last 15 minutes or so), and the movie really doesn’t trust its audience at all (it seems to go out of its way to explain stuff rather than just let forshadowing do its thing). It tells when it could just show. It also frequently puts cuteness in the foreground frequently enough that it feels like jingling keys in front of a baby. A lot of this extra cuteness and exposition felt added on in post, like the studio saw test screenings and said “brainrotted kids are too stupid to get that without help” or “add a cute thing here to get attention”. It’s the movie equivalent of yellow paint in a video game. With that said, despite its flaws, it’s still entertaining. Great action set pieces, cool worlds that feel lived in, the plot is interesting enough, and It’s a self-contained adventure outside a few cameos by familiar Feloni verse characters. The first half is classic early season Mando. It’s like John Wick meets Thor: Ragnarok but less quippy. The second half felt more like an above average Star Wars Rebels arc. I had fun and felt like I got my money’s worth.
