Chindie Posted February 9, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted February 9, 2022 That was less than the sum of its parts. Action not great, lots of time filling shooting while we wait for the get out to happen. Fun but kinda... Meh? Space mods are also the worst thing in all of Star Wars except Darth Binks.

Total swing and a miss, maybe more so over here in the UK than the US? Just seemed so out of context and forced. Just a weird choice altogether, even the metallic colours of the scrots (not sure anyone that didn't grow up in Kingswinford will know what a scrot is) stood out, even is they blended in with the surroundings would have helped a tad, doubtful though, just an odd choice from the creators. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 The big action scenes weren't that great... They were very star warsy though, void of logic and an ability to shoot Cad Bane deserved more, without watching the cartoons I didn't know anything about him, definitely wanted to see more, could have been a big bad moving forward Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wainy316 Posted February 10, 2022 Share Posted February 10, 2022 Thought it was a great finale. That looked like a pretty definitive wrap up for the Fett series. Assume the focus will switch back to the Mandalorian now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler The Jedi being a bit cold does seem to backfire on them quite a lot though. I mean, Luke was rude in the Mandalorian and in Boba Fett. And Grogu left his training. Because, with Luke, what kind of dick doesn't have a conversation at least before taking Grogu away from the people who just rescued him and what kind of dick leaves Grogu to cross the galaxy alone with R2D2 just because Grogu wanted to help out Mandalorian. Half the galaxy were trying to kill Grogu about a month earlier, and he ends up arriving, being looked after some random who then drives him into a war...a lame, crap war, but a war nonetheless. And all of that because Luke gave Grogu a really bitchy choice between a lighsabre and armour made for him by his hero/best friend/nanny. I wrote a lot there but I think my main point is Boba Fett, and the end of season 2 of The Mandalorian, were really shit imo. And the game looks good.

Wainy316 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 General reviews of Book of Boba Fett remind me of the Lucas Digne thread. At least half of their outings seem to have received universal praise but they're still shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't seen that much praise for it if I'm honest, there's more a few reviewers who can't get past the name of show and what the show actually entailed but I thought the main "criticism" was that it didn't need to exist they could have just absorbed most of it in to the mandalorian 3 I thought it was the same as the mandalorian, solid 6 or 7 /10 every week with some great star wars stuff in there and some boring stuff in there and a rotating get the band back together cast every 2 episodes format that I don't enjoy (I know about the woman whatever her name is but where was Carl Weathers?!) Got a RT rating of 73% and I'd say that's about right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one guy who is obsessed with Star Wars—he had excuses for all the Disney Star Wars films, and he loves the prequels, but Boba Fett was too much for him. He says it's rubbish. I know that's just one little anecdote, but I don't think time is going to look too kindly on The Book (why is it called this) of Boba Fett. I genuinely think it's abysmal. All the creative decisions on it are half-baked at best. It became a bit of a hate watch for me. It's telling that, imo, The Mandalorian became bad for me the exact moment Boba Fett showed up in that too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stuart_75 Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 So I've just re-watched the prequels with my son as we go through the whole cinema Star Wars journey. Now I had forgotten how bad they really are, they're bad, really bad. The acting, script, the dodgy CGI and story lines are awful. I can't find any redeeming features in any of them. I was quite happy seeing Hayden Christeinsen being burnt alive at the end of Episode 3 if it meant not having to hear him deliver anymore lines of dialogue. Book of Bobba Fett is a masterpiece compared to those 3 turgid films. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its baffling as you say. The casting director should never work in the industry again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was very good in Shattered Glass but yeah, he was turgid in the SW movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted February 16, 2022 Share Posted February 16, 2022 Natalie Portman in the prequels is like a world class footballer joining man utd Give it a week and they won't give a **** either and start performing as bad as the rest of them You can say what you like about christensen but you have a proven top quality actress also doing that along side him... Something was wrong there, the script is obviously utter garbage But the prequels are also a bit like boba fett, largely uninteresting verging on poor and then bang something really brilliantly star warsy slaps you in the face, darth maul and duel of fates is a top 5 star wars all time moment for me and I'm not sure anything from the mandalorian / BF can boast that (although I'm guessing for a few the end of mandalorian season 2 will be in that list) Insert just when I thought I was out gif 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
