The Mandalorian & Grogu – 9/10
At 2 hours and 12 minutes, The Mandalorian & Grogu was an absolute blast from start to finish. I’ll admit I’m a bit of a Mandalorian fan, so take my rating with that in mind, but this movie delivered everything I was hoping for.
The action is exciting, the space battles are spectacular, and the visuals are excellent throughout. The runtime feels just right, long enough to tell a complete story without feeling rushed, though I still wanted more by the end. The cast does a great job, and the film is simply a fun, entertaining experience.
The ending leaves plenty of room for a sequel, and I’d happily watch another installment. I highly recommend it, especially for Star Wars fans. Even if you haven’t watched The Mandalorian series, I think this film stands well on its own and does a great job introducing its characters and story. I have watched it 3 times already!
I think it’s safe to say you liked it way more than I did. I didn’t dislike it exactly but underwhelming is definitely the word I would use. Certainly after seeing it I understand the criticism of it being basically a few episodes of a show cobbled together. It had a major pacing issue. It really didn’t feel like it had a coherent story.
All that being said it was fun and did have some enjoyable moments. 6/10
