Yesterday, I spent the entire day attending various seminars about supporting drug addicted parents and their drug addicted newborns. It sounds like this movie was even less entertaining than my day.

The item missing was a plain brown paper bag, or some kids. Happy Fathers Day, guys.

So it sounds like the original Pixar look and feel are back just needs a more interesting script. Thanks for the review.

Love the blog, Don wins by a nose!

Disney has totally ruined Star Wars.

Is it that bad? Just watch that chant scene again, the one that happens before a kid who told her sister "I love you" tries to kill her by burning her when she sets a stone cave on fire and...you get the point

Agree on most points, but I have to disagree about using 'modern english'. Han said 'I'll see you in Hell' in Empire when going out to rescue Luke on Hoth. Hell which which is a concept only derived from some religions on Earth which really should have no bearing in the Star Wars universe. I don't think many people would understand Han if he said "I'll see you in Sithspawn"...or even if understood would not have nearly the same impact.

I won't watch another Will Smith. He lost any respect I ever had for him.

I agree that they use too much modern slang and terminology.

Gotta love the fire in space, too.😜

The "twins" who haven't seen each other for 16 years, having the same hairstyle, even down to the same shade of hair dye, just bugs me. It's a detail, but it still bugs me.😆

The problem here is they're mixing good criticism with terrible criticism and don't seem to understand the difference. I appreciate the good, but I'd encourage everyone not to take this whole video as gospel. Just as one example - the hair similarity between Osha and Mae. It's not the same, it's similar. In the real world, twins often display creepily similar similarities, even when raised apart. And oh yeah they're clearly a force dyad, so the hair is the hill you want to die on? That's just one example. Still, I appreciate what they get right, and I'd say overall the criticism is fair, what this review failed to do is appreciate the great moments, of which there are many. The fact of the matter is, the faults in this show are cringey, obvious, and completely unforgivable....and it's still the best recent Star Wars short of Andor.

It's horrible.

You mean the will smith being a pedophile thing . Yeah, that dude should be in prison by now.

Me and my parents,who grew up on SW, they hated it. I thought it was bad but not that bad. Generic story, very predictable ( like Obi) bad dialogue and bad acting. It seemed like a lower version of Lifetime tV.

Terrible acting, pacing, writing, and this YT channel is a joke. Delete

Kinda funny cuz you two are pretty negative on a lot of specific points and not saying "yea I'm excited for more" ... but saying others are too harsh? I've watched a few vids now and maybe it's simply just click bait or maybe it's just 'sick of it' vs. 'still good natured'. But honestly seems like you're just on the other side of the fence. Personally I think it kinda stinks and do not like it for many of the reasons you listed. Except that twin thing everyone has an issue with but actually has roots in reality. Kinda freaky real phenomena. At first I watched hopefully but now I watch to mock... The dialog, the writing, the acting. It's just too dumb. Yes it could turn around... but I won't hold my breath.

They’re characterizing the Jedi order as inept, hypocritical and flawed. I’m ok with a lot of the things you have complaints because of this. Like putting her on prisoner ship with only droids. Same with having a needless meeting. The only drawing lightsaber if you are willing to kill. That highlights their hypocrisy. They show the contrast when sol and yord approach osha. Yord grabs his saber. SOL reaches his hand out. SOL expresses his frustration at the needless meeting. They make an effort to show that Mae is not as skilled as the Jedi and her success comes from the ineptitude and flaws of the Jedi. I think it’s a good angle as we know the sith infiltrate the republic between now and ep 1 without the Jedi knowing. It makes sense the Jedi are dumb. That being said the show isn’t perfect. It’s ok so far. They really haven’t gotten us invested in osha because they tell us her motivation but don’t allow us to experience them with her. That’s my only big complaint. There are nitpicks about makeup on the meditative Jedi, meh dialogue… Overall tho it can go either way.

I think you're a little harsh on this series. I like it cause it's a all new storyline, not related to any characters we know. I'm looking forward to seeing how it progresses.

Garbage sauce. Hated it. No thx

Gonna try and watch this starting maybe in a week or so. It looked good in trailer.

Thanks for the review but I am done with all of these. But wait Paul went of vacation I thought you did not want to go anywhere when you can see it on Google. Or was it a week long trip to sofa world?

They usually go "full force". 😉😁

The Force is strong with the kitty.

Here's my rage-click. Seems like you had fun picking apart this movie, and that should count for something.

I bet Don never thought they could top The Last Jedi, but here we are. 🤷🏻‍♂️😀

All Star Wars are trash

I just don't like Will Smith anymore, so won't watch this one.

Is this movie worth going out of my way to watch ?

I put money on the line that Don will go see Bad Boys 5, lol

Saw it last night in IMAX in the Los Angeles area. Theater was packed. Was pretty good. 7.5

1. I haven't seen the first three (in fact, I thought there were only two) so I won't be bothering with this one. 2. Man, with the way Don grumbled through the entire review, I thought I was going to be spot-on with the 3/10 guess.

I think you guys are always too generous with your flaming pickles.

Yep as long as people go to see these, they will make more. Thanks it sounds like they really need some new writers or a new direction for the future.

I loved this movie. I was pleasantly surprised.

I don’t make the “streaming movie” distinction. That’s just code for low quality, and I just rather watch something else.

People get too intense about things. I just like the conversation

So interesting conversation. I enjoy it.

Adaptations, remakes, sequels will always be compared to an original, or established plot lines.. it can’t be helped.. often director impact can ruin or alter a good adaptation, remake or sequel..

Christian Slater. Always a treat to see him. Don’t see him enough

Speaking of adaptations, there is one series which was loved by the fans and also the newcomers, and you guys one of my fav chilled reviewers didn't watch it , bums me out :((( I am talking about One Piece on netflix, I do hope you guys watch it, I am sure you will love it.

"Inspired by" seems like a nice way of saying "plagiarized"
