This is a SLOW movie, so, if you lack facility to find engagement with being patient, to savor a small, delicious treat of a film that you might actually have to work a little to earn gratification from, you'll want to stay away from this.

Go watch some colorful action film where half the budget is spent on explosions if you can't do a SLOW movie.

This movie is SLOW, and its reward is a small treat for waiting, but, you'll think about this treat for awhile. This isn't some be meaty microwave burger of instant gratification.

Part the symbolism is a terrible, patient garden that blooms with the blood and bodies of those that have failed, giving only enough to feed but a small group.

I very much enjoyed this film, and rate it maximum high to offset its detractors.

Despite some rabid bad reviewers, and even some fair criticisms, I rather enjoyed this film.

I also went into this without high expectations.

What made the very first Matrix was some never-seen-before cutting edge film effects technology, and the 2 following films rode on the coat tails of that, doing fairly well without really adding much other than playing out the ancient old Messiah story in the Matrix universe.

This new version was fun. It didn't really explore any new ground, introduce new effects, but, it let us revisit a universe we loved, and, I'm pretty sure it's not nearly as bad as some folks knee-jerk bombing it want to claim.

Keanu is also the best everything. Negging on any work he's part of is just bad juju. Keanu's success is all of our success, and with the last several years being the dumpster fire it's been, we need more light, and more Keanu, even if it doesn't live up to some folks' expectations.

This show is not, and will not be paced for your short attention-span tik-tok insta tweeter types where everything has to be compact, McNugget-sized instant gratification.

No. This show is in for the long haul.

The story-telling for this series is set to a measured, calculated pace, and it's a slower pace that will outlast whatever short-term minimized attention-span trend all the cool kids want everything to be right now.

There's punctuations of action, tidbits of easter eggs, and fan-servy little bullets, but, over all, this is building up to something, and working on the fleshing out, and adding new dimensions of lore so, not every baddy or background character is just a cardboard cut-out with a target painted on, but, potentially characters that could mean something, and mean something later in other shows.

The Book of Boba Fett isn't just about Boba Fett, but, another chapter in a larger universe that may have consequences or influences already planned to carry over into other series, like The Mandalorian, Asoka, or something else.

Consider how all this might fit as a piece into and influence the larger Star Wars Universe still growing, and in development.
