The Book of Boba Fett: Chapter 5: Return of the Mandalorian (2022)
Kinda pathetic that...
The best episode of this show BY FAR doesn't even have Boba Fett in it. Take a bow, Bryce Dallas Howard!
Seriously, even though this was kind of a "filler" episode, it was leagues better than the first 4 combined. Just goes to show you that the story they're telling in this show really started off slow and didn't progress the plot forward that much. The flashbacks were interesting at first, but then it seemed that they were relying on it too much.
Really excited to see Grogu again and hopefully the rest of the episodes have the same level of quality.
Pig (2021)
Masterpiece
Nicolas Cage meets John Wick. This movie was so much better than I was expecting it to be.
The Falcon and the Winter Soldier: Truth (2021)
Filler episode
After two fantastic episodes, we are treated to arguably the most boring episode in the show. Having politics in your show is fine, but they really went overboard with it in this episode. Also doesn't help that half the episode focused on the boat, which frankly, most viewers do not care about. Walker had some character development this episode but there was barely any plot progression on Sam and Bucky's side. If the show had 20 episodes, a filler like this is fine. However, when the season is only 6 episodes long, I expect there to be more focus on story in each episode.
Overall, I think Anthony Mackie is a great actor but the writers aren't giving him a lot to work with. I feel much more interested in John Walker's story than Sam and Bucky. I give it a 4 for the opening action sequence, the last 5 minutes, and the JLD cameo.
