You are entitled to your opinion but I must ask did you think the force awakens was any good?I didn't buy it; movie was pretty bad TBH.
It was good, but not great IMO. I wish Kylo had never taken the mask off and it would at least have had some redeeming qualities, alongside Han/Chewie/Luke. Otherwise it played it safe with a re-imagining of A New Hope, which wasn't terrible; it just tread old ground.You are entitled to your opinion but I must ask did you think the force awakens was any good?
I can agree on this although I'm more critical just happy to not hear it was the best starwars film ever made, those people are kidding themselves.it played it safe with a re-imagining of A New Hope
As much hate as phantom menace gets, sans Jar-Jar I actually enjoyed it. Just many memorable moments from that one that stand out for me.I can agree on this although I'm more critical just happy to not hear it was the best starwars film ever made, those people are kidding themselves.
For me I really enjoyed rogue one and will be rewatching it, as for the force awakens, I'll watch the phantom menace on repeat before I go back to watching the force awakens again.
I agree in part, but it was an ultimate waste since we cared nothing for the hollow characters. I could not get behind any of them, save for K-2 (which when you think about it is hilarious given it's a droid). They should have called it "Disposable Heroes: A Star Wars Story".But overall I really enjoyed Rogue One, and ADORED the way that it ended. Not every director has the stones to handle a tragic ending. But in Rogue one this was executed very well, and provides us with a decent lead-in to A New Hope.
Not every story needs to ape the original star wars formula. After they played it so safe with The Force Awakens, Rogue One was a pleasant change of pace. For once we didn't get a story about characters destined for greatness, but characters doomed to perish in obscurity. The Star Wars films have generally focused on magic space wizards. Getting an everyman perspective of grubby fighters who likely won't win is a fresh perspective.They should have called it "Disposable Heroes: A Star Wars Story".
I don't think anyone here complained about the ending; in fact it was praised.I think it's funny that people were upset that they didn't get their happy ending. Rogue One was excellent. My friend and I walked out of the theater both agreeing that it might be the best Star Wars film yet.
My issue here is that for a franchise that has an expanded universe, it felt like the only reason all of the main characters got killed here was due to them not appearing in the original trilogy (the only one I could understand is K-2, as people would have wished that he was featured in the original trilogy instead of C-3PO if it survived).I think it's funny that people were upset that they didn't get their happy ending.
I loved TFA despite it borrowing SO heavily from A New Hope, but I just want to point out that those two elements of the movie you described as "its own twists and turns", Han dying and Starkiller base destroying Republic planets, also closely mirrors A New Hope- Old Ben dying and the Death Star blowing up Alderaan.The complaints about TFA being unoriginal have never resonated much with me.
To be certain Abrams borrowed from the original – something he has admitted he did intentionally – but for every familiar beat the movie also tosses in plenty of its own twists and turns, or outright subverts expectations entirely, such as Han dying and the StarKiller base actually succeeding in destroying key planets of the Republic.
To an extent perhaps, but there’s much that is different about those scenarios as well.I loved TFA despite it borrowing SO heavily from A New Hope, but I just want to point out that those two elements of the movie you described as "its own twists and turns", Han dying and Starkiller base destroying Republic planets, also closely mirrors A New Hope- Old Ben dying and the Death Star blowing up Alderaan.
It was clear from the start that she had experience fighting with a staff, so logically she should be able to defend herself. It was more a draw given how it ended, but if it had continued I feel she would have lost. Using force powers suddenly however, that was kinda bullshit even for a force sensitive.Rey should not have been able towin a lightsaber duel against an experienced force user.
My local Bestbuy still have 3D Steelbook version in stock for $25. I pass... spent so much $$$ on this month so farI bought both the Target exclusive 3D and the BB 3D steelbook.
I would have agreed, exceptand Rey should not have been able towin a lightsaber duel against an experienced force user.
I thought it was a bit boring myself. I didn't like any of the characters or the people who played them. And I found little stuff throughout I thought was dumb like Forrest whitakers character was supposed to be a super bad ass but he didn't seem to be, storm troopers getting knocked out with one hit from a stick, Darth Vaders God awful choking pun, princess Leia at the end and other winks so hard I felt like the director was sitting next to me nudging me constantly. And the action all felt safe and lifeless.I didn't buy it; movie was pretty bad TBH.
I thought that too at first about the pun Vader used but sometimes we forget that's still Anakin inside there and he always was a smartass. Even in the OT he was a cheeky bastard when it came to reprimanding his officers. "Apology accepted, Captain Needa." That wasn't a pun but still snarky the way he said it.I thought it was a bit boring myself. I didn't like any of the characters or the people who played them.
