Neal Justin Minneapolis Star Tribune The sight of a light saber coming to life has become about as thrilling as turning on a table lamp. Jun 11, 2024 Full Review Proma Khosla indieWire The performances overall are more dynamic, the writing more engaging than usual for Disney+, which keeps the series from dragging like its predecessors. Rated: B Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Nic Anstett Autostraddle While The Acolyte is mostly able to skirt by given how well its cast sells the emotional context of each scene, the degree of narrative withholding Headland is attempting here threatens to undermine a lot of this otherwise strong character work. Jun 7, 2024 Full Review Aniruddho Chakraborty Film Companion Activate your hyperdrive and run away from The Acolyte for the sake of the franchise. Thank me later. Jun 28, 2024 Full Review Sarah Marrs Lainey Gossip Finally, the world of Star Wars actually feels expansive. Jun 22, 2024 Full Review Alberto Carlos Espinof ... Despite how predictable it is at times, 'The Acolyte' wants us to fill in the gaps highlighting that what is really interesting is not what we're seeing, but what we're not.

gerardo daniel w Es lo peor de lo peor como se les ocurre poner a jedis incompetentes como si fueran mulas no pudiendo pelear bien contra este mocoso que ni el sabe si es Sith o no que pendejada tan grande entonces para que carajos entrenaron todo este tiempo para nada los vieron de ridículos que idiotes para morirse unos cuantos minutos no que mulada y las gemelas insoportables porque solo queremos ser comprendida pura basofia uno no las entienden realmente es un asco 🤢🤮 y el moreno todo mula no pudo por lo menos hacer una buena pelea ah no pero viene la alien a ganarle todo el terreno que incongruencia todos tienen que tener casi el mismo poder no solo las feminazis pedorras boicot a Disney rip Star wars como solo el moreno casi ni hizo ni droga y así se muere el pendejo mejor que muera el chino realmente asco 🤢🤮🤬🤮😡🤢😡🤢😡🤢😡🤢🤮😡 Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Liam C For context this review is being written at the time of the 5th episode as I'm not sure I'll continue watching. I'll start with the good, every Star Wars show has played with cool idea for ships, droids and alien species and this one doesn't shy away from that, plus its nice to not see a lot of sand so far. The Jedi have an interesting presence to them, a shadow of what they could've been before their fall in the prequels and of course fight scenes are still well choreographed and take the spotlight when they happen. That's unfortunately where the good really ends, beneath the surface of too many main characters is hollow attempts at development, Osha and Mae could be great but their dialogue is delivered like robots and their isn't a lot of chemistry, Jecki and Sol are good but they cant carry the show. The plot isn't a bad one and the first episode promises a new look at the Jedi and their relationship with the rest of the galaxy and with others adept in the force, and while I'm not overly concerned with canon, the way they decide to reshape it is questionable and disappointing much like the antagonist(s) of the show. So far I can't say much without spoilers but any hope I had is as dead as the younglings. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/27/24 Full Review Nicholas G This show really brings me back to my childhood with some of the best fight choreography I have seen in Star Wars for a very long time. Really my only complaints with this show stem from the two main characters of the show. The twins relationship is confusing at times and their motivations seem odd. I think the rest of the characters are written well and there is some amazing talent among the group. Pair this with some amazing visuals and you have a pretty good Star Wars show Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Joe O Too many holes in the story. Main story point in my opinion weakens the origin cannon of Anakin. Just overall not the best storyline. Personally disappointed, but have been with much of Disney Star Wars. Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 06/28/24 Full Review Todd C The show to me definitely shows a side of the Jedi we haven't seen in past Star Wars movies or shows. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Audience Member Illogical silly script that contradicts itself. Cardboard characters, unclear motivation of the characters. The movie contradicts canon and contradicts itself. This is the worst movie of the entire saga. Rated 1 out of 5 stars 06/29/24 Full Review Read all reviews
