The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes (2023)
Good movie adaption, not as good as the novel by a longshot
It wasn't bad, but not half as good as the novel. Many things are left out, other things are portrayed differently. Considering that adapting such a complex story is really difficult, I think they did quite a good job. Pacing was too fast obviously, which isn't surprising, a running time of 158 minutes just isn't enough to cover the 500+ pages the right way. I really liked Peter Dinklage as Highbottom, he did a brilliant job imo. The portrayal of Snow and Lucy Gray's love story seemed rush and unfitting.
Yes, Rachel Zegler might not be the most likeable person, but I think it's stupid to review this movie based solely on how much you dislike Zegler. I highly recommend everyone to read the novel, doesn't matter if you enjoyed the movie or not.
Ahsoka: Part Eight: The Jedi, the Witch and the Warlord (2023)
Surprising!
I feel like I'm repeating myself, when it comes to the reviews of this shows episodes. Solid, but the same issues over and over again (with the exception of episode 5): Slow Pacing, Retcons and bad portrayal of specific characters. Again, not a fan of Sabine using the force, don't like the message that everyone can use the force if he tries hard...
Fight scenes and effects were really well done and Thrawn saying «Long live the Empire» was epic! I know some of you are disappointed with the ending, but I really liked it, because it was something surprising and original. It was nice to hear Luke and Leia's Theme at Hera and Ezra's Reunion. Would have loved to see more of Baylon though, best character in the show imo.
Episode: 8/10.
Ahsoka: Part Five: Shadow Warrior (2023)
OG Star Wars feeling
That was a fantastic episode, the best one by far imo! Cinematography, effects, action, emotions... everything was on point. Hayden and Rosario were brilliant together, I would love to see more of this duo. I don't understand why people are complaining about the looks of young Ahsoka, of course she can't look the same as in TCW. Hayden doesn't really look like TCW Anakin too...
I'm not the biggest fan of Jacen. It's probably the acting mostly which cannot convince me, but it's a kid after all. Rex's voice was kinda off, but that's a really small detail lol.
Life Action Clone Wars... need I say more? 10/10.
Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)
Why?
Y'all must have watched a different movie than me. This is the worst Marvel in the last ten years in my opinion. Little to no plot/story, dumb villains, bad costumes, cheesy lines, unholy amount of plotholes, pure CGI feast... The only good thing in that movie was the cinematography, that's it. I questioned my status as a GotG fan and asked myself several times why I have to go through this "movie". Come on. Nothing made even slightly sense and the characters get weirder and worse. It just felt like a Disney movie the whole time but like a Disney movie where Walt Disney smoked crack and got blackout drunk before he wrote the script. It was even worse than Multiverse of Madness and Thor Love & Thunder and I thought thats's impossible. Just imagine the bad plot and nonsense from MoM combined withe cornyness and cringe of Love & Thunder and voilà that's GotG 3. It doesn't have the charm of the old GotG movies and the music was not that important anymore. Total waste of money and time.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 24: The Return (2023)
Disappointing to say the least
Well, well... that was... disappointing to say the least.
By a longshot the worst dialogue in all of Mandalorian, full of major plotholes (Grogu just randomly mastered a force technique without training, most jedi masters aren't even able to use?! I'm talking about the force bubble he used to protect him, Din and Bo-Katan.) Editing was crap too, some scenes just felt like out of a video game a.e. The start of Bo-Katan's fight vs Gideon, I wouldn't have been surprised if I've suddenly heard someone say fight and an info with the best attack combos appeared. Pacing was extremely off too and that's just my opinion but I think it would have been a better final if Din and Grogu died, because it starts to feel a little cheap, I mean come on, we can do better than that. I wouldn't mind if we see some more of Mandalore, how it's ruled and rebuilt but that final was just bad imo. I honestly don't know what rating I should give this episode but I honestly don't think that it was better than a 5/10. Overall just felt rushed and didn't work out for me.
Season overall: 7/10.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 22: Guns for Hire (2023)
Disappointing
I didn't really like this episode so the Pros first:
I absolutely loved the setting/this new planet and yeah that pretty much was it with the pros lol.
Now the cons: the dialogue was partially reall bad and corny. Was that scene in the beginning with the Quarren & Mon Calamari love story necessary?! I don't think so... The plot overall was okay, could have been executed better though. Atleast we didn't see to much of Grogu this episode lmao.
I honestly don't have a big problem how the darksaber was handed over, but this episode was pretty disappointing overall cause not much happened and we only have two episodes left. I'm definitely looking forward to the last two, now that Bo-Katan is the leader and the owner of the darksaber again.
Overall: 6/10.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 19: The Convert (2023)
This is NOT THE WAY
Just watched it. Disney is probably the only company who can just add a random episode of a different show to another show and still get positive reviews. Yeah it was a bit Andor like but by far not as good executed as Andor imo. It just felt like they just added a random episode of a complete different show to an episode of the Mandalorian. The CGI of the hologram in the senate was really bad and looked like it was from a computer game. The soundtrack was very irritating and unsuitable partially. The voice acting of the Mon Calamari who set up the mind flayer was quite poor and unsuitable too. There were also some smaller plotholes again but nothing major atleast. I liked the plot of this episode in general but that wasn't the Mandalorian imo. Really enjoyable was the part with Din and Bo especially seeing TIE-Interceptors was cool. I'm looking forward to the next episodes cause it looks like Bo will stay with Din for a while. Overall: mediocre.
The Mandalorian: Chapter 17: The Apostate (2023)
Solid start
I don't know how you all are complaining that Mandalorian lost its magic. It was the first episode, so why do you expect the biggest plottwist in cinematic history? The episode was really good, there were only two things I didn't like:
1. The way how the Mandalorian fought the monster at the beginning. That was just dumb. They attacked the only heavily armored part.
2. Grogu: To much Grogu for my taste, I absolutely despise this thing and this episode again was just him being useless and getting in Dins way.
This is the Mandalorian. It's as good or bad as the first and second season. If you didn't like these you will still dislike the new season.
