The Mandalorian has fallen a lot from its peak around the start of season 1, I'll say that much. The ambient visuals and slow pace have been replaced by Book Of Boba Fett Tier direction and ceaseless Star Wars slide transitions. The brilliant lack of dialogue, gone, and in its place, endless, pointless and meaningless ramblings about nothing to a baby who can't understand what's being said. Everything I like about the show is gone.

It's still fine, though. But that rests solely on the visuals and action, and even that is a downgrade. The story- It's terrible. All of the acting is awful, which isn't a shocker, because it's the Mandalorian, but it is, and the pacing is hardly any better. And the story- I just don't care. It feels like The Mandalorian's jumped the shark 10 times over, and now it's a completely different show than the one I once enjoyed. It may work for some people, but it doesn't work for me.

I'll say it right now: This is easily the worst movie I've ever seen, and quite possibly one of the worst ones ever made. Now hold your horses, I really, really enjoyed it.

But it's not a movie. It just isn't. It does not count or qualify as a movie and so, reviewing it in the merits of a movie, it's the worst one I've ever seen, because even the worst real movies I've seen are still movies. This is 3 amvs, two old episodes of the anime and one new one. The old ones are good enough and the new one is good but lame as hell in the context of being a movie.

Removing repackaged old stuff, think about it: There was not a single fight scene in this DEMON SLAYER "movie". There was not a single character arc in this Demon Slayer "movie". There was not an ending to this demon slayer "movie". It's not a movie.

I'll review it as such.

1/10 (The new episode is like a solid 7 though)

Warriors is a pretty entertaining show- At least, this episode is. All the characters are likeable and well acted, the story is dense but very well introduced and explained and it obviously has a high production value with some gorgeous sets, great fight scenes and incredible music- But I can't help but find it a little bland right out of the gate. I've seen a lot of shows and movies with similar premises, and Warriors doesn't really do enough, outside of it's action and setting, to make itself seem any different. It's a standard enough crime show with a lot of sex, violence and mystery. That's all well and good, but I can't help but ask for more.
