Alright let's be honest I don't really watch star wars anymore but when this show started being everywhere and everyone bashed on it I needed to watch it for myself, the first two episodes were bad, the third was awful and the fourth a return to bad, with its best moment being the cliffhanger to this episode (who the $#@& does cliffhangers like that)

I'll say the action was good, hell I wish I could say the episode was non-stop action but that would be a lie, the only thing stopping this episode from an 8 or a 7 is the fact that we return to The Acolyte's trademark uninteresting writing.

To end this spoiler free review I'll wish for the show to improve, to keep doing what works and to improve on what doesn't.

Truer words have never been said, as this two-parter not only includes the more mature nature of modern batman stories but outright sets them from then on, and you don't have to agree with me as the producers already set as much, I found myself actively rooting for Harvey and actually cared for whether or not he ended up redeeming himself, I never really saw two-face as being a compelling character to look into, specially since his popularity doesn't seem to reach the highs of other batman villains, I guess because he isn't batshit insane or has no superpowers.

As a first time viewer I'm looking forward to how the character gets to grow through the next episodes of the series.

First of all I must say I was a big fan of transformers prime, and was my introduction to the transformers series, I watched the animated and the Michael bay movies but they really couldn't catch me the way prime did, and after having to endure years upon years to finally get me a hbo max account I must say it was well worth the waiting, that said, this movie, as the ending of the beast hunters saga, was a disappointment, I don't know the behind the scenes of the production but you can tell it was not only rushed but it was gutted as well, the first half hour of the movie was not only on par with the series at its best but even managed to surpass it for a moment, but afterwards it quickly became clear there was a shift during the production of the movie, as at least one third of the entire runtime seems to have been taken away, and the writers seemingly had to panic and scramble ideas to tie up what's still left of the movie, ideas had to be abandoned, plot points scrapped and recycled and the ending had to be rushed, at the end, there was no beast hunting, no (alive) predacons rose up, and no epic battle between our three main players, with the ending being as close to a deus ex machina, even if it ultimately (kind of) made sense given the situation. It left me wondering what happened behind the scenes more than what happened on screen.

It was okay, you should watch it.
