A “QUICK!” Review of “The Mandalorian”

Season 1

An excellent original series in The Star Wars universe!

Cool new characters with a very Western-inspired feel to the setting. Great cinematography, music score, set designs and action set pieces that make this some of the best to come out of Disney Star Wars.

This is the Way!

Season 2

Season 2 continues to deliver on what made the first season great. However, it unfortunately is a bit of a step down due to one big reason. It tries to connect with every other Star Wars projects.
It introduces characters from the movies and the animated shows such as Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels. Thus, some the episodes just feel incredibly odd because these characters from the show are getting a spotlight over the main character. It just makes the galaxy feel incredibly small.

Fortunately, the writing is still excellent and there are some stellar moments with one of the most epic final episodes in a Star Wars show!

Season 3

Similar to The Book of Boba Fett, I wonder what on earth the writers and showrunners were thinking?

The main character is basically a side character this entire season! Instead, the spotlight is given to Bo-Kotan from the animated shows for some reason. They really shouldn’t have called this The Mandalorian Season 3 when in reality it is “The Book of Bo-Kotan”. Also, some episodes feel like it is from the cancelled New Republic show and shoved in here.

This season dropped the ball massively and even the writing dipped in quality. Just an all-around disappointing season…

A “QUICK!” Review of “Spy × Family Code: White (2024)“

  This movie is two hours of Spy X Family goodness! Everything you love from the show is in here: the fun family slice-of-life dynamic, the ridiculously fun comedy with wacky goofiness from lovable daughter Anya, the suave spy action from Loid, and badass fight action set pieces from Yor. The animation is mostly similar to the show, but there are moments in the final act where the animation is glorious! However, the story isn’t really much to write home about and the villain is very "underbaked” (pun intended). Overall, this is a very fun movie set in the Spy X Family universe. If you love the show, you’ll love the movie.

A “QUICK!” Review of “Until Dawn (2025)”

  It’s disappointing that this film is “Until Dawn” in name only and doesn’t truly adapt the game. However, the time loop element is intriguing, and I did enjoy the group’s camaraderie. Unfortunately, the horror is generic and uninspired, and the visuals are equally dull, marked by flat cinematography. Overall, it’s a shallow film that delivers a lackluster execution of what could have been an interesting concept.

A Review of “Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 (2023)”

  Guardians of the Galaxy was one of the best and most surprising things to come out of the MCU. They were an unknown group with heroes that were even more unknown than Iron Man (at the time). However, thanks to director James Gunn, he made them one of the most popular Marvel characters and team. I loved the first one and it is still up there in one of my favourite Marvel films. The second one is a great movie but not as good as the first one. There is a joke that the 3rd movie is always the worst which did occur with Ant-Man recently. Does Guardians of the Galaxy fall into this or does it deliver an epic trilogy? One of the core themes in the Guardian of the Galaxy movies is family and loss. This is still prevalent here and still as powerful. We see the Guardians feel closer as a family than ever but also argue a lot like family too. In terms of character arcs, Peter is still reeling from the loss of Gamora, Yondu and even his mother which is making him go to the bo...
