Dr. Strange was decent. I don’t get these big movies not being able to find American actors. Cumberbatch is a great actor, but it is nails on a chalkboard listening to his “American” accent. It seems there is one American accent teacher in Britain, and they all sound like a New Yorker who moved to Canada.
Can’t wait for Will Ferrell to take on Sherlock Holmes! Right back at ya UK!
So basically- JJ copies Star Wars for Force Awakens, and then ROJ for TROS. Is it out of respect? He also copies some parts from Raiders of the Lost Ark and the Goonies so maybe he can’t help it. Matching the Death Star ruin with the knife on a coastline- right out of goonies. How did Rey know where to stand?
It wasn’t horrible. But as bad as the prequels were, RofSith tied everything together and at least connected with old fans. I didn’t get that here. It was the first Star Wars movie I’ve seen in the first week, where nobody cheered when the music started and the big Star Wars rolls up the screen. Nobody really cheered after. Rian Johnson did get a good boo when he introduced Knives Out in the trailers. Characters dying and then not being dead severely hamper this movie. What were they thinking? I do think C3PO was actually a metaphorical reference to the fans- just wipe your memories of all the crap Star Wars movies and remember why you ever enjoyed Star Wars. It actually fits because by the time his memory is restored, the movie goes off the rails.
Quoted from TheBrewhouse:Thanks for educating me on this, I did not know children should never see two women kissing. What do you suppose could happen to the kids if they witness something like that? Could they become gay?
You do realize our current science concludes it is environmental stimuli that determine human sexuality? Epigenetic vs. genetic. It could be watching a movie with chics making out. Probably isn’t, but I’ll wait for science before I educate others.
Quoted from TheLaw:Fuck it's been a 1.5 years since I've been in this thread, and I've got some bad news for everyone; I just saw the new ROS and it wasn't that good.
But seriously, I think somehow this fucking thing may be worse than the last jedi which can;t be true becasue that was the worst movie I've ever seen.EDIT: And hiding Rose Tycho
Valid points but go watch TLJ again..if you dare. It isn’t even close- TLJ is flying a ship at lightspeed into a brain bad..
Quoted from HoakyPoaky:The key to the "Marvel Method" is that you need a visionary leader at the top to manage the stories & the overall project.
When you do it right you make the fans happy, get great movies & make billions like Marvel.
When you do it wrong, have idiots running things & no overall vision, you get the messy trainwreck that is DC's movie Universe.
When you do it with an agenda driving the creativity over a well written story, you get the Rey Star Wars Trilogy.
Marvel method made great movies?? You had me going there. Plenty of agendas in Marvel...
