Last Jedi was a disaster?Trailer looks good, but after the disaster that was the Last Jedi and the horrid press of the development I have no faith in this film.
I thought TLJ was really good.Trailer looks good, but after the disaster that was the Last Jedi and the horrid press of the development I have no faith in this film.
I thought it was pretty bad... but if rotten tomatoes means anything then over 50% of people thought it was good.. so disaster might be harsh.Last Jedi was a disaster?
If The Last Jedi was a disaster what are the prequels considered?
Fatigue comes from movies you don't enjoy. I personally feel that the Marvel universe is much more boring than the Star Wars universe and from a plot perspective, Marvel is all over the map, has terrible enemies and non-sensical overall storylines.I have an 11 year old, so of course I will be seeing this, but not too excited. Neither of us really dug TFA and Opie is a pretty meh person to put in charge of something like this. It's odd that Marvel has 3 movies a year and SW 1, but I feel like I am getting SW fatigue quicker. It's probably due to never reading a comic book so I don't know much about some of these characters still, where SW is rehashing similar stories and characters every other movie?
Rotten Tomato Score: 91% - very high critical scoreLast Jedi was a disaster?
I enjoyed the prequels when they came out but when I'm comparing them to the rest they are the worst three of them all. Episode 3 was the best of them.
The prequels have to be the three worst, right?
I personally liked the Last Jedi. I thought it was an interesting direction to take the franchise. And I think by doing that, it will help keep future movies fresh. Not everything is black and white. Gray is interesting.
It won't take long before this branches intoGreat, another thread that we can debate how good or bad the last jedi was. Maybe we can add a third
I'm sorry. That's my fault.It won't take long before this branches into
"The Prequels were the worst" vs "how can any one say the Ewoks did not ruin Return of the Jedi?"
that is the million dollar question. But done suggest someone like Brad Pitt. @shadyridr will be madI'm sorry. That's my fault.
I am looking forward to Solo. I will definitely see it. And probably enjoy it.
One thing I don't understand from reading the article above - why would the studio cast someone in the lead who is a terrible actor?
Yeah just to be clear, I meant it as my opinion not that it was a commercial disaster (although no where near as well as they thought). But time will not be kind to the movie.Rotten Tomato Score: 91% - very high critical score
IMDB Score: 7.5 - solid to very solid fan score
Box Office: $1.3 billion (maybe not what they expected to top off at but still an ENORMOUS number).
Overall TLJ was the exact opposite of a disaster from every angle.
I think people have a hard time separating their own feelings(be it good or bad) for a movie with the data that defines a movie's health.
People who insult others should remember to look at all the data presented and not just hand pick the one they want to attack.People that defend TLJ because it made a lot of money should remember that Avatar is the highest grossing film of all time.
If you found that "insulting"...I don't really know what to say.People who insult others should remember to look at all the data presented and not just hand pick the one they want to attack.
It'll probably be decent. Really word on Wonder Woman was disaster too.Sinn Fein said:Lets keep this this about the Solo film - pros or cons.
Why would they use Hayden Christensen to play Anakin?whoknew said:I'm sorry. That's my fault.

How old was Luke in the original Star Wars? Like 20?https://www.flickeringmyth.com/2017/11/sebastian-stan-would-be-happy-to-play-a-young-luke-skywalker-in-star-wars/
Would love to see the Winter Soldier get to play Luke in one of these things.
That's my assumption - because that will be the first criticism - it doesn't sound/act like we know a younger Solo would act like. The mannerisms will be picked a part.Perhaps they brought in an acting coach, not to teach him how to act, but how to act like Ford acting like Solo.
He'd be perfect in a film set after Jedi and before Awakens.A young Luke? WTF
I just want to know why some Jawas are so tall.Someone PM me when the Jawa origin movie thread gets started. That way I will know when the argument whether or not the Bibb Fortuna origin story was a success or not will be rehashed for the millionth time
My hopes aren't up for that. Instead of Ewan McGreggor doing an Alec Guiness impersonation to make us believe it was the same person, he claimed to do a "young Alec Guiness" impersonation. You know, for all of those people who not only grew up on Star Wars but also Alec Guiness' early work.Perhaps they brought in an acting coach, not to teach him how to act, but how to act like Ford acting like Solo.
I really liked Rogue One. Hopefully Solo can hit reasonably close.Andy Dufresne said:The Last Jedi was worse than Revenge of the Sith.
But better than Phantom Menace or AOTC.
I liked 3 just fine, and would probably put that in over TLJ at this point. Disaster might be a tad harsh especially when Ep.2 exists.Hawkeye21 said:If The Last Jedi was a disaster what are the prequels considered?
