Star Wars “MCU to "Refocus” Disney begging Men to come back!

Agreed

At the cinema, it seemed ******* amazing.

In hindsight, it's meh.

Why do you think that? I thought it was fantastic. Actually almost perfect in terms of doing the job it had to do.

The story about why the death star had that stupid weakness was good.

The blind jedi guy and his buddy were great. The robot is the only interesting robot in a star wars film I've seen since c3po and r2d2.

It includes the best vader scene that there is in a movie.

I don't think it made any new rules or went against anything that has happened in other star wars movies.

What more could you want from that film?

Couldn't disagree more.

Its a very traditional film, good acting a plot that isn't up it's own behind. One story arc not 20 all going in different directions. No time travel, no multi verses, no gimmicky plot twists, no panto style surprises. Not a thousand people shooting and no one gets hit. No superpowers.

I think there's room for star wars content which is just made that bit better. Andor is the same.

I think skeleton crew is also decent. Because it's a simple story told well, and made well. It's not trying to be anything it isn't.

Agreed.

I guess you could hope that Disney are lining up a weak cast to essentially just kill them all and have them gone for good. Disney can't half kill and bring them back as they've done that, they can't kill good characters as there really aren't any left, so best option is to kill know b grade characters. That's the hope any way

Rogue One has always been massively overrated because of the nostalgia ending sequence. The rest of the film is pretty meh.

I agree. The Battle of Scarif is great eye candy, Vader's scene is fantastic but the rest is pretty poor. It doesn't help that I don't really care for any of the "heroes". Jyn is so wooden and, frankly, unlikeable, Cassian seems like a supporting character, the pilot is totally underdeveloped, Saw is wasted, etc.

Hard agree from me. It suffers because of ‘prequel-itis’- very hard to get invested when you know the outcome.

The heroes were also quite wooden, the ‘act per location’ feels basic, the nostalgia aspects are a turn off.

I mean… it was fine, I guess.

That's a bit like saying Titanic outcome was predictable and it ruined the film for you. Looked all old fashioned as well. Each to their own.

I enjoyed the lack of perfect characters. Andor is the same.

By that measure they're all prequels they all fail to escape from the original movies in the sense that they're all set in teh same place/time or nearly so its a total failure of imagination "lets just envasige the original movies and base a TV series off some of the peripheral characters" instead of we have this great universe we can explore and lets get out there and write some original stories but no, they're all stuck on the tarmac failing to go anywhere even the main movies were literally the same stories but with "woke" versions Luke gets replaced by Rey because she's female and thats important and... thats it really just a gender political message and little else.

Rogue One was by and away the best of them the only one even worth revisiting and if you're complaining about wooden acting well you can say that about any of them you aren't going to find shakespearean roles here and that goes for any pulp fiction movie.

^ might not be the acting, could be the directing / writing, I suppose - I just didn’t really find any characters appealing. Aside from the robot.

Ultimately, I just didn’t find it captivating for reasons that make sense to me.

What we probably can all agree on is that L3 is the worst thing to happen to Star Wars. Even I’ll get upset when they announce an L3-based prequel trilogy :p
 
Right!

We’ve just had the Reject Avengers and about to get the Bargin Bin Avengers with a sprinkle of the Unremarkable Four!!

Anyone know where to send in a CV for Disney?
Might as well send one in since they love throwing away money.

i agree -its bang average at best.
You can also see all the reshoots on screen - the editing is all over the place.
