Rodriguez has always been over rated as a director. He used to be a solid writer though, key words being used to. He has become exponentially worse as time as gone on though.I have to say I was a bit pleasantly surprised that Boba actually took down Cad Bane by himself. When Bane was about to kill him telling him this is why you shouldn't rely on anyone but yourself I was sure it was going to lead to some incredibly hackneyed moment of Ming na Wen or the cringe mods or even Mando saving him at the last moment to prove the power of friendship and fully cuckolding Boba Fett forever. Everything else about that last fight was totally retarded with the Scorpeneks (nice obscure little EU memberberry there at least Filoni) missing every shot they took, being completely unable to shoot through some packed mud, that whole rancor sequence with them just dragging on and on. Was Robert Rodriguez always this awful at directing action scenes? I've only ever seen Spy Kids by him so it's not like this is some jarring disconnect from that.
I can't tell if its due to laziness or him getting his dick sucked for sub-par direction, probably some mixture of the two. He discovered early on all he had to do was make awful kids movies to rake in millions and that has permanently stunted his growth as a director/writer ever since.
