... View MoreThe film was still a fun one that will make you laugh and have you leaving the theater feeling like you just stole something valuable and got away with it.
... View Morea film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
... View MoreYes, i accept this show is for kids and at times that really comes across but as a huge Star Wars fan i feel like this show does a really good job of giving us the fans some added context and interesting stories that broaden the universe. The premise of season 3 sees the crew of the Ghost attempt to lead the rebellion to victory over the empire while avoiding a new calculating adversary. Ezra Bridger has always been the main character on this show and i thought this season developed his character very well. After the events of lasts season he is torn between the light and dark side of the force and i thought they matured him alot this season to change him from annoying child to complicated leader. Freddie Prinze Jnr reprises his role as kanan jarrus and after last season's finale he has to go through changes this season that also develop his character and his relationship with Ezra as time goes on. The rest of the crew, Hera, sabine, chooper and zeb all have stand out moments, i especially liked sabine's story over the season that interested me alot. There is two main villains this season on the show first after his return at the end of last season Maul is a lingering threat on this show and his story was fascinating to watch as it resolved itself in a way that was hugely satisfying. The main villain though is Grand Admiral Thrawn and he is a great antagonist, he is always one step ahead of our heroes an he is just such an interesting complex villain that brings out a different side of the empire. The story is set in a really interesting time period in Star wars history as it sees the slow formation of the rebel alliance and i found different aspects of this story really interesting as these people come together to fight the empire, an entity that sees interesting subplots amongst themselves. The script being based for kids has some very childish but some of it can be charming and funny. to be honest the drama does work for this show and it is definitely darker then your average kids show which i appreciate. The style of the show is grander this year with more big battles and it really works to raise the scale and get you closer to the vents of Rogue one. But the pacing of this show is a bit off, I feel like there is a few filler episodes that could have been removed and improve the overall quality of the show. Overall this is the best season of this show and with it confirmed to be reaching its final season i'n hoping it gets even better.
... View More'Clone Wars', the predecessor to 'Rebels', had its drawbacks and not too few flaws. But it was watchable for an adult, or at least middle- to late-teen, Star Wars fan nonetheless. And it encompassed a large enough swath of the Star Wars universe to sometimes even be politically interesting - concerning this fictional universe's politics and history, mind you. 'Rebels' however falls short on all of these advantageous features. Other reviewers have rightly pointed out the meager quality of its animation. That doesn't bother me so much. Others bemoan that Ahsoka and Rex don't get enough story time allotted to them. Yes, true, but actually they should give Ahsoka her own spin-off because 'Rebels', at least how it was set up for this series, just isn't about her as a central character however much we like seeing her back in action. No, the single biggest permanently annoying flaw of 'Rebels' is its protagonist, young Ezra Bridger the terrible. While watching the show, by now being in the middle of season 3, I catch myself fairly enjoying all scenes he's not in. But since Ezra is the main character of the show, these better parts are spread out rather thinly. So, slowly but surely a certain aggression starts to build up towards this pesky figure. And the fun you're having watching a Star Wars series is severely diminished when you're hoping - more and more strongly - for the main protagonist to be killed off soon (or locked away in some remote boarding school, to keep this review civil). How come? It's easy to decipher how Ezra is designed as a character. Troubled conflicted teenager, reckless young male with a lot to learn but, of course, also with much potential, albeit driven by his inexperienced impulses, haunted by a difficult past, and so on etc. pp. All this done well wouldn't necessarily have predestined him to be such a glaring failure as a show's anchor. So, in my opinion, it is not his "design parameters" per se that pose the problem, but their execution. Ezra, as a person, is being served to us comprised from the same assortment of shallow clichés as nearly all the other characters in this show. But they don't have to carry more than half of 'Rebels'' screen time, and aren't as central to the unfolding story. And: they are not as stupid as Ezra is, or as annoyingly irresponsible in a very stereotypical, and foreseeable, way. I mean, most of the time the flaws of the main character of 'Rebels' serve as the episodes' main story driver. That soon proves to become a huge burden to the development, or evolution, of this series, also its likability. And speaking of which, 'Rebels' really doesn't succeed in endearing Ezra to me (us?) despite, or actually because of, his catastrophe prone behavior as in other shows employing the same plot device. No, Ezra endangering everyone around him for no good reason just proves himself to be a clichéd fool. Well then, how to rate a show where the main protagonist continues to be a bothersome jerk? I've decided to not overlook this big flaw in favor of the many smaller characters and other elements I do enjoy in 'Rebels'. And since I have also begun trying to be stricter in my ratings, even downgrading some older ones, so they may become more meaningful again, I settled, with a heavy heart concerning a Star Wars show, for a 5/10.
... View MoreAs I mentioned on my Forces of Destiny review I am going to review well now here it is my review.I have not seen every single episode nor I keep updates on this show but I have to say I like the animation style and the voice actors on this show. Okay, this show isn't as adventurous or action-packed as Star Wars the clone wars was, however, this show does have funny humour and some serious moments. I even like the fact that the voice of the clones Dee Bradley Baker voiced Ezra's dad and even came back as Rex.But the only reason I saw this show was to see after matters of clone wars. However, the haters are right to be angry that Star Wars the clone wars got cancelled for this and I actually agree with them. And I have to admit the relationship between Cannan and Ezra kinda reminds me of Anakin and Obi-Wan. In my opinion, this show is helpful for after matters of Star Wars the clone wars but not as good as the clone wars and it is way too much of a lighter approach. Like I said on my Forces of Destiny review, Disney made a mistake by buying Star Wars and making it into a playground at least Tron Evolution wasn't like this at all. I don't love or hate this show i am between both the love and the hate.
... View MoreThe sole reason this TV-Show exist is to sell overpriced Chinese made toys to six year old's. Compared to the Clone wars this series is sub par in every aspect. It's basically the same old recipe from every kids show of the last 20 years. Only difference is the annoying Ezra Bridger with his teen angst attitude. Hopefully he gets killed of in season 4. Well, at least some could dream of.
