Journalist Simon Thompson’s review reads, “#TheMandalorianAndGrogu is a grin-inducing crowd-pleaser that puts Star Wars back on a theatrical track. Director Jon Favreau is (again) a safe pair of hands that deliver a solid, thrilling and engaging romp. A solid popcorn movie that is the summer blockbuster you’re looking for.”

Stand-up comic Chris Killian’s review says, “I’ve seen #TheMandalorianAndGrogu! Above all else, M&G is a super FUN Star Wars movie. It’s not perfect, but there’s a lot for fans to love. It plays like an extended episode with double the budget and moves from one incredible action set piece to the next. IMAX is a must.”

“#TheMandalorianandGrogu is as expected. A longer, bigger episode of the show. It has one or two stand out scenes but it feels much more interested in developing the story to new locations with new creatures than the characters. Enjoyed some of it, left frustrated but the rest,” writes, senior entertainment reporter.

Entertainment critic Christopher Gallardo said, “#TheMandalorianAndGrogu is an energizing, action-packed adventure that any Star Wars fan can enjoy. All of the fight scenes and high-speed chases will keep you hooked. Pedro Pascal still nails it as Din Djarin, but it’s Grogu (and ALL the puppets) will tug at your heartstrings.”

Nicole’s Film Perspectives writes, “Ludwig Göransson’s score strikes again in ‘The Mandalorian And Grogu’ its a banger. The essence of this film is a father-son journey that gets some time to spread its wings, but it feels lacklustre overall.”

Film Posers’ Josie Marie wrote, “THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU has its highs and lows. Yes, it feels like a TV special more than a major blockbuster. However, all the bells and whistles aside, nothing beats seeing Grogu find his home in Mando and the undeniable, ever-present love there.”

“#TheMandalorianAndGrogu is one of the weakest Star Wars movies. An emotionless, predictable experience that doesn’t push Din Djarin anywhere interesting. Dull, unexciting fight scenes; just CGI monsters. Action figures mashed together. A long, colorless made-for-TV movie,” writes entertainment reporter Jonathan Sim.

Abe Friedtanzer says, “#TheMandalorianandGrogu is a blast – proving that #StarWars doesn’t need lightsabers to be worthy of the big screen. Cool creature design & a sleek look make this promotion to the theatrical experience well-deserved, and it smartly leans towards entertaining action-adventure.”
