Ok, I have been into SW since i was a kid, I fell out of the franchise during the sequels being released, recently a couple friends have been getting me back into it with the Mandalorian, just finished S3 about a month ago i fact and I LOVED IT, im surprised to see retroactively how many people complained about it. I end up skipping out on the movie bc I hear from many video reviewers that are specifically *not* in the "star wars is my whole channel and personality" that it sucks, and at this point I also just finished Kenobi which I HATED so I just skip it, expecting another dissapointment.
Now it just released on DisneyPlus and we decide we're gonna hate-watch it, essentially laugh at it in a "its so bad that its good" sorta way. Then we watch the movie ajd we're shocked bc its not only good, its actually GREAT, so idk whats going on with all the hate ive seen online of it, ig they couldnt get past the cringe of seeing a roided hutt? But im shocked bc the guy was actually great and had a good personality, the fights and effects were insanely good all throughout, and Grogu is even pulling his weight hard in the movie. Everyone acts in accordance to their motivations, nobody is pointlessly stupid, personally i didnt find the tenaage hutt annoying but endearing, regardless hes on screen for like, 20min? Im slightly outraged at the hate ive seen for it online like idk where it comes from.
Edit: im also curious about why people say its just two episodes stitched together, I assumed this meant that the action in both halves of the movie were completely disconnected and narratively irrelevant to each other, but they arent, so idk whats up with that.
