Guston

One of the worst films I have watched in years. Crass and painful story-line. Awful editing and a dire soundtrack that miserably trys to cover up a complete mess. I liked the idea of a stand alone Cruella film and I love Emma Stone but It felt so short of the mark. Sometimes I really don't understand how movies like this get the green light - with millions of pounds of investment made, a professional productiuon team and they still somehow manage to manifest this... I was hoping it would be dark movie, with a twisted origin story, mildly like Malificent. I genuinely cannot fathom how someone would deem this as a good movie, unless they are a fake review bot paid for by Disney... AVOID.

Bitterly dissapointing movie. I think the response publically and critically speaks for itself. No mention of it through the normal channels or word of mouth after it's release, no iconic moments to be found at all. I found the plot very flimsy and dull and the script hit the complete wrong tone. The casting of Neil Patrick Harris for me cheapend it. The lead actors could have done with more time re-establishing with their old roles. Early stage actors tend to put enormous effort into establishing and structuring charecters maybe because of the tension and drive at that point in their career and then when they revisit the charecter are almost doing what I could only describe as an imitation version. Given it was 2021 and tech has come such a long way - there was phenomenal scope to create a great action packed picture full of mystery and gritty depth...I would rather no follow up film (and I really wanted a follow up)

What a boring vanilla show, it could have been MUCH better. I feel really let down and patronised by the amount of convenient soft 'Disney friendly' action. The series is drowning in embarrassing character gaze exchanges in every scene change, I'm waiting to see a funny compilation of this appearing on youtube anytime now. The real score: there is no grit in this at all, except the sand in the now over-used planet, Tatooine. The multi-coloured power-ranger speeder bikes summed up the entire season...weak and cringe! The story was all over the place, there was no complexity or depth to any of the characters. We should have spent more chronological order seeing Boba escape Sarlac pit, rather than a two-minute flashback, we have waited to see what happened to Boba for three decades and we ran over this segment within a number of minutes? All of the episodes feature very odd side stories which are so basic and childlike If we are to contemplate what the audience of Star Wars is nowadays and what the initial intention of Geroge Lucas's Star Wars story was to add or raise in culture, we might have had a different outcome but this series tries to cater to kids and loyal star wars fans who are happy just to be in the Star Wars universe regardless of the content. The TV show industry has very high standards nowadays with the likes of GOT, Sopranos, Breaking Bad, Handmaid's tale etc, this is simply to sloppy in contrast to the titans of TV now. Star Wars films once occupied this Titan spot in the film industry but these season's rush-make-rush-make-produce-produce-produce are bringing down it's unique qualities we once loved. You could clearly see the episode featuring the Mandolorian and Luke had a clear budget difference and much more effort and consideration was made in this episode but then returned to vanilla Boba. Star Wars is over saturating the market and is a danger to its legacy. Not good, very disappointed.
