All these bad reviewers need to realize two things. 1) You don't know Boba Fett, you only ever saw him interacting with one of his clients in the original trilogy for five minutes. Would you be annoyed if someone was trying to predict what you "would do" after watching 5 mins of interaction with your boss? It's annoying. Stop it. 2) Give the guy a break. He just suffered an ignominious near-death experience where he was trapped inside a creature, being slowly digested, and only narrowly managed to escape by inhaling who knows what from a dead stormtroopers suit. Then after burrowing through Sarlacc and dry sand for who knows how long, when he finally gets out, he's in the middle of the Dune Sea at what appears to be midday. As if that wasn't bad enough, a bunch of Jawas - who probably know who the famous Boba Fett is - rob him of his armour and knock him unconscious, leaving him to bake in the desert suns. Then he gets taken prisoner by the Tuskens, and made a slave labourer, subordinate to the lowliest member of the tribe, who beats and berates him mercilessly. After showing the Tuskens that he is a fierce warrior in his own right and saving his captor, Boba is accepted as a member of their tribe, given a fighting stick and robes in a special ceremony, only to return and find the entire tribe brutally murdered. He's had a bit of a rough time lately, and plenty of time to think about how his life choices have played out, plus he's (literally) not the man he used to be before his encounter with the Sarlacc. So we have a guy who has only five minutes in the canonical films, who has had experiences that could change the perspective of even the most hardened individualist. Even if you did know Boba Fett somehow, you don't know THIS Boba Fett, the guy who has decided to do something with his life instead of just being the baddest guy in the room until he wasn't.

This film is utter dross and would never have made it from a book to a movie if not for it's religious appeal. I'm sure something good could have been done with this material, but everything about this movie sucked so badly, from Nicholas Cage's bored Captain Rayford Steele, to his vacuous flight attendant girlfriend. I actually feel sorry for the guy playing Buck - he seemed to be genuinely trying to act instead of rattling off lines in a pained monotone like everyone else. The biggest problem the film has though, is that there is only about 10 minutes worth of actual content that has been teased and stretched and drawn until it takes 90 minutes to watch. It really feels like the movie is trying to start a franchise, and that is more important than telling the story or entertaining the audience, it makes the movie feel like a cynical money grab at the purses of the faithful and that detracts from the films sincerity as a religious work. I'm not Religious, but I'm more than happy to be entertained by a good story told well no matter what it's origins. That didn't happen here.

I'd like to watch this show but it takes too much effort. It seems to just not come on sometimes, usually with no warning and no explanation, going to give it a miss from now on. Hopefully they can get their act together and put up a schedule so I can try watching again.

This show is not really about superheroes, the superheroes are actually more evil than most comic book villains, A-Train, Homelander and Translucent have all been shown to be psychopaths who regard non supers as nothing more than bags of meat whose lives are of no consequence in comparison to supers. This literary turning of the tables instead makes the violent disenfranchised murderous thugs that would normally serve as disposable henchmen into the true heroes and protagonists of the piece, enabling very different and original storylines in a normally formulaic genre.

Slow, long winded, unoriginal, melodramatic dross. What little plot there is unfolds at an excruciatingly glacial pace buried under mountains of unnecessary drivveling dialogue and pointless travelling scenes. Pretty sure the entire series could be edited into one 30 min episode without cutting anything important.
