I saw it with my son. I even got an expensive popcorn bucket too. For me it was an event. I don’t see many movies in theaters anymore. It has been almost a year since my last movie. So for me to have that experience with my son I thought the expense was worth it
The movie was mid. It was fun at some points. It did not get me angry like previous sequel movies. However there was nothing that made me think this belongs in theaters. It did feel like an extended Mando episode. Sadly I have that theme song stuck in my head even a day after.
If it comes out on blu-ray I’ll get it. It will make a fine addition to my collection.
Yep. It was an extra-long Mandalorian episode. Fun, but nothing about it needed to be made into a feature length film.
And this is what they picked to play it safe.
Maybe they should stop playing it safe.
Lots of good movies still come out each year, if you expand your range beyond popcorn flicks and go during off peak hours then you don't have to treat the outing as a rare event
