Hot Take: The Mandalorian's third act ruined what could have been a masterpiece
Honestly, The Mandalorian would be a tight 95-minute movie. Instead we got a bloated runtime padded with B-roll and lingering shots that add nothing.
The cinematography in The Mandalorian is doing all the heavy lifting and it shows
Rewatched The Mandalorian last night and noticed even more plot holes than the first time. The motivations don't track at all once you stop and think about act two.
