The things we do for Alexandra Daddario
Sigh, what a disappointment so far... Seems like target for this is 10 year old kids while it should be 30 y old fans raised on old SW and ObiWan.
And then there is acting and the story which is utterly crap. So many scenes are just pure cringe. Who signs off these shows? Are they all just horrible at their jobs or they don't care about SW anymore.
I loved Mandalorian but this is just crap so far.
Some blatant writing and casting errors get in the way of this being so much as passable. To name a few:
- They tried too hard to make child Leia precocious. In one scene she's Sherlock Holmes, in another she makes a self-jeopardizing comment or decision, but for the most part, she talks too much and is annoying.
- Reva is the least intimidating dark-side character I've encountered in Star Wars media. The actress is tragically unconvincing in that role.
- Then if those points weren't enough to make the episodes seem juvenile, Kumail Nanjiani's stupid face enters the picture, instantly signalling to the viewer that this show is ultimately some kind of comedy.
Holy, so much of this was just straight up bad. Visuals were pretty good, costumes too, but that's about it. If they had just put some more money into the script and acting and less into a need for ticking every box a modern piece of film seems to need (maximum diversity, "unexpected" twists, catering to the fans etc.) then they might have created something much better. This however, I am not going to continue to watch.
Excellent well worth a watch
When it comes to the prequel trilogy, Disney has gone from barely acknowledging its existence to now padding their story out with fan fiction, all within the span of only a couple of years. The results are, as you might expect, pathetic and mind-numbingly dull. There’s just no way around it: this is another dreadful Disney+ show with production and directing that somehow manages to be even worse than The Book of Boba Fett. There’s this old Hollywood cliché that women can’t direct action, and well, I’ll just say that this show doesn’t do that stereotype any favours. Ewan McGregor kinda delivers, but most of the performances in this show are awkward and cringy. It looks really, really bland for the most part, and the story is uninteresting and dumb. It makes little to no sense in the timeline. Revenge of the Sith took its time to cram everyone into their starting position for A New Hope, and the fact that we have characters meeting up again between those time periods kinda fucks with the whole continuity in A New Hope, which only adds to the fan fiction feel of the show.
3/10
This tv show is very current. A lot of nothing, empty and soulless. Pure boredom.
An absolute disappointment of a show. Poor handling of Obi Wan and Vader. Atrocious storytelling. Terrible chase and action scenes. The list goes on...
That Moses is such a bad actress, damn. I get so bored. Aren't there any good actors left?
They shouldn't give parts only because they are black. They should be good actors!
First episode was not bad, definitely made me want to watch more.
Only way to watch this show is like the A-team or mcguyver or something. Don’t take it serious, otherwise you will be disappointed. The writing is bad, Sfx are not good, story does not make any sense, why is Vader in Mordor, why can’t a Jedi catch a slow little girl.
It carries the name but this show is a soulless shell of its legacy. I'd instead burn money than watch this again.
One of the greatest shows ever made. It's a shame that people need to be spoonfed subtext and themes to understand the point of the show.
Horribly unfunny and try hard. All the best bits were in the trailer. It’s a shame because I like the cast. Joel McHale is at his McHalest with zero nuance or charm.
One of the best shows I've ever seen! It's completely different from everything else I've watched, hard to describe. You might need to give it some time to get into it. Especially season 2 and 3 are outstanding. And the soundtrack, amazing!
rather boring, and sometimes annoying
typical disney marvel/starwars fare...
- ultra slow, the story likely fits onto a single page. plus lots of bad actors.
+ great visuals though. one or two good actors, who have far too few lines.
someone really should tell disney that great stories are made by a great cast. and never just by a single character.
I couldn't make it thru this series due to Moses Ingram's terrible acting skills. It was just too much to endure.
This show needs a laugh track or a pop up that says "laugh here' cause I didn't know when I was supposed to laugh!!!
Comedy? Which part was the funny bit?
0/10
Season by season the series got better. But Season 4 is just bad and boring. Morgan is one of TWD's most annoying characters and that has not changed at FTWD.
The Walking Dead meets the CW production team....
It could've been better
I can see it's aimed towards a teen demographic but its sort of wimpy storyline isn't holding my attention like the other two main series... Definitely should be aired on CW :person_shrugging_tone3::female_sign:
