Chindie Posted October 29, 2019 VT Supporter Share Posted October 29, 2019 Still looking like one of the better things Disney has come up with with the property. Also the guys who rushed to finish Game of Thrones and made a complete hash of it so they could go so other stuff like a Star Wars series aren't doing said series anymore. Which is nice.

Anything with Werner Herzog's voice over immediately gets 10/10. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Just watched the first episode of The Mandalorian and it's pretty promising. It looks gorgeous but still gritty enough to not become Star Trek. As expected it's pretty much a spaghetti western story set in the Star Wars universe, as it should be. Strong hints of For a Few Dollars More with the Mandalorian as Eastwood and the IG-88 droid as Lee Van Cleef . But with a twist/Easter egg the size of a small moon. Lots of familiar stuff without being just a skin thrown on. It actually looks and feels right to me being someone who grew up with the original films. Obviously not perfect, and for a pilot the 38 minute run time is really short and it did feel a bit rushed. But on a whole not a bad effort by Favreau 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wazzap24 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I’ll be watching it tomorrow. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sam-AVFC Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 @sne are they releasing them weekly or have they uploaded the whole series at once ready for a weekend binge? Judging by your post I'd assume the former...probably makes sense if it's the only thing on Disney+ worth watching as an adult atm as otherwise everyone will just sign up for a month (or free trial if there is such a thing).

It's weekly sadly. But ep 2 is out on the 15th, after that it's 1 per week. I'm hoping the future episodes are a bit longer than the first one was.

Sam-AVFC Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Darn I really struggle to wait a week for each episode when I get into something so I'll probably just binge it in the new year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 Really enjoyed episode 1. Loved that he didn't take his helmet off, the interaction with IG-11. Nice twist/reveal at the end. It looks gorgeous, with a Rogue One grit. Only complaint - 40 minutes was far too short, flew by. Bring on episode two! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I thought it was OK in the whole good in parts, a lot of World building which surprised me and not a lot of character building which has to get better, main character ticks the box, the animal riding stuff didn't, thought the production quality was lower than I expected, huge difference between this and the films in make up / costume, cgi and set design Definitely lots to build on and go at Took me an hour to finally realise who the black fella was who paid him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyblade Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 It was cool, nothing amazing. Hate that they're going to be stretching out the story so that you can keep tuning in every week but yeah, nice twist at the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tayls Posted November 13, 2019 Share Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) So you guys all have Disney+ then? Is it worth it? I’m tempted to get it so I can watch this. The wife loves Disney and we are getting our 18month old into the classics now, so might prove useful...?

It's worth it for all the classic movies and 90's Marvel cartoons alone (and I guess SW Episodes I-VIII). It's kind of funny though how we're heading full circle back into cable tv situations. Having all these fragmented services isn't going to be sustainable. They're all going to band together at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theboyangel Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Allegedly test screenings for Episode IX have been disastrous they’re going to screw this up royally aren’t they? (If the Last Jedi wasn’t bad enough - in places!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 Doomcock on YouTube? Reshoots, 3 different people doing the film, including lucas back to save it with what sounds like a **** terrible idea, the final 3rd of the film scored a 4 in the first test screening 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
