I got lucky and my local theatre was playing it for $5 matinee tickets, but holy moly, it was a huge surprise and I absolutely loved it. I'd heard a lot of negativity and wasn't sure if I would, but my advice is to tune it out and give it a try. First, this is very much a summer blockbuster. There are lots, and lots, and lots of neat and awesome action sequences and you're not going to spend a lot of time watching people just sitting around talking like we have in Andor or the other Star Wars films. You are signing up for a film that gives you a very simple premise and dials that premise up to a 10, and also assumes you have a general knowledge of the TV show, who the two main characters are, and what they do. If you did not enjoy the TV show then it's safe to assume this film isn't for you, and it's probably best to wait for it to hit streaming. This isn't 'Star Wars'. It's, essentially, a Punisher film set in the Star Wars universe. There are no Jedi. There is almost no Force. There are no Sith. There are almost zero appearances by canon characters from other series. There's just a few good guys fighting bad guys and it is a lot of fun.

I really loved the use of puppets and stop-motion elements in this film, and they were very well integreted with the rest of the scene! Music was also very good and main characters very fine! Action scene were quite fast paced but fighting were very good and easy to follow. The plot is pretty basic in my opinion but enough for entertaining and for future developments.

The Mandalorian and Grogu is what you get when you knock off the woke bullshit and focus on entertainment. This is a downright enjoyable sci-fi action romp; there are lots of creative fantasy effects, varied action, and a backstory that has a genuine warmth to it. In summary, it's been a long, long time since I've actually been able to watch a Star Wars franchise film and say I actually enjoyed it. Well worth a look.
