Again, not a movie, but errr ... Book of Boba Fett is surprisingly terrible.
Don't like the actor, don't like the script, don't like the visual effects (those ninjas were bleak man holy hells) and the story is lame as all heck so far.
How'd a quiet merciless bounty hunter turn into a "nah don't hurt them we are going to rule with respect" talkative wuss?
What a snooze.
.edit: actually, reading that back ... I think the problem might be they already did Boba Fett, but with Mando.
I was pretty mixed after the first episode. The effects / creature construction were definitely sub-par, as was the fighting.
I enjoyed the second episode, though. It definitely went back to the “Western in space” feel of the Mandalorian.
Credit where due; I quite halfway through ep 2. Having finished the episode ... okay, lil better.
Still. That's not Boba Fett. But fair enough. He's more than he was in Ep1.
They should have gone with Vader-era Boba Fett. Show us some bounty hunter adventures, and show us some Prime Darth.
Feige involved tho.
I'm sure the goal of Mando/Boba/Obi is to merge them all together.
I am a big star wars fan, but I admit that I haven't been able to get as interested in the Boba Fett series as much as I did for the Mandalorian. I think the Mandalorian was a more of a heroic character, and so you could get behind him more. Boba is still just a somewhat under developed neutral guy from the Original trilogy. The 2nd episode was decent...I guess I will keep watching. Maybe it gets better as it goes along.
I think Kenobi is the series I am waiting for. I hope the writing for that one is first rate, otherwise I could see it being a disappointment as well.
Episode 5 seems to prove that the worst thing about the Book Of Boba Fett is... Boba Fett.
The Mando-focused episode was excellent.
Right?
It was SO much more fun. Not even close.
Every single other Boba Fett episode has been downright bad. It's such a boring, goody-two-shoes character. I don't find myself rooting for him because he just simply doesn't do anything cool, or funny, or whatever. He's just an old, not even grumpy, dude. What a snoozefest.
Made me think for a second that the Mando episode was only cool because it stopped me from watching Boring Fett.
But upon rewatch; it's actually just a cool episode that has a bunch of stuff happen that's interesting.
