Yes! It also kinds felt like Robocop. It captured that 80s action movie feel perfectly.
I want to say something sarcastic but it's just plain stupid to equate money with quality.
Furthermore, "butthurt" and "crybabies" are terms used on the playground of an elementary school, not in response to well thought out critiques.
Holy shit was that a good movie. I felt that Rogue One kind of captured the sort of magic in Dredd.
Seriously. Rogue one had all the diversity and female leads one could want and it was still a great movie.
I'm with you. It's not an age thing.
I'd be curious to know the average age of all the users reviewing the movie negatively and posting negatively about it on forums. I myself hated it passionately, and I'm 43. It felt like someone was trying to hide something else inside star wars, like Vincent D'onofrio in the first Men in Black when the alien wore his skin as a disguise.
I've spoken to several younger people in person who loved it. I think they don't have the context and the deep attachment many of us older people do to the original story, which was so groundbreaking at the time, so they don't feel the loss with the shitshow of that the latest movies have been. It's just another movie like marvel films to them, so they have nothing better to compare it to.
Agreed. There is definitely a place for a story like this, but Star Wars was not the right venue.
Prometheus was similar to TLJ in that it had some corny writing but the major problem was that it just had several WTF moments that didn't make sense and broke the suspension of disbelief.
Interstellar was better than both TLJ and Prometheus, but it still suffered from Nolan's typical rigid slow pacing that feels like you are on Xanax and the washed out colors found in all his movies. His movies always feel too dreamlike, and not in a good way.
The answer is that Star Wars is just not Rian Johnson's genre. The Fly was dark and depressing and introspective, which fit Breaking Bad but doesn't work in Star Wars. Looper was overrated, with a pretty weak plot.
Exactly.
It's on the pirate bay. Despite the name, the focus is on cutting out major plot holes and corny bits. And Rey and Leia are still central figures. It's actually not a bad cut, but is getting bad press because of the stupid name.
Where did you get the idea that I am going to pay for it?
I agree that JJ's work is shit. Lost was garbage, and The Force Awakens is way overrated.
My point is that I'm curious to see how he will scramble to salvage some sort of passable story for Episode IX. It's like watching improv comedy and seeing how they can handle ridiculous scenarios.
It's very relevant. I can understand why you avoid the question - because your dumbass only demands double blind scientific studies and photographic evidence when it doesn't fit your beliefs. I'm sure you believe Trump colluded with Russia, even though there is still nothing but circumstantial evidence yet. I believe he colluded as well, but at least I'm consistent because I am fine using inductive reasoning and circumstantial evidence to come to a conclusion on a situation where my judgement has no effect on the outcome. Unlike your pedantic yet inconsistent ass.
I don't really understand the dislike of Rogue One. It struck me as in the top 3 SW films of all time, and a great standalone movie in itself. The story was cohesive, and the writing was subtle and emotional without being corny. Acting was good enough. The setting felt very realistic, modeled after real wars, and the twists and turns were satisfying. There were seriously difficult decisions made and real bitter sweet sacrifices. Overall it felt like it was really a star wars film rather than a cheap imitation like the new trilogy. I was enjoying it thoroughly even before the final act, which stepped it up even further and blew me away.
Watching it AFTER TFA and TLJ I made a realization. The main trilogy is for children and marketing, and the anthology series is a bone thrown to old-school fans and adults. We will find out if this theory is true based on how Solo turns out.
Would be amazing if Gareth Edwards were allowed to direct a main trilogy movie. Won't happen though.
You ignored my question. Do you believe Trump colluded with Russia?
Are you from a studio? Why do you follow and trash everyone who suggests an obvious and plausible possibility?
You are either a shill or a naive asshole.
You dismissed all the evidence that I presented because it is circumstantial
Or otherwise not direct. Let's test your convictions. Do you believe in Trump colluded with Russia?
I'm a software engineer and know that it's trivial to allow users to see all reviews instead just a small portion, and in fact that's how it used to work. Both rotten tomatoes and IMDB changed their systems to only allow you to see a few reviews. There's absolutely no technical reasons for that. Using your precious logic, that only leaves the possibility that they want hide reviews from users to hide how they calculate aggregate scores. But an establishment suckling whore such as yourself is too blind to see that.
Apparently hired the wrong writer then haha
