Plain bad: Solo, The Phantom Menace.

Was watching an interview with Lucas last night from a few years back where he goes off on a tangent about people abusing new tech, he talks about when sound in movies when the new thing people went mad with it, same when colour came into play, and finally digital effects. Hate to ask him but has he seen his own prequels? Those movies are about 90% digital effects, in a lot of instances its using digital effects for the sake of it. They have a weird look to them especially "Attack of the Clones" where the ending battle is taking place, nothing about the battle looks remotely real besides the actors, just has a weird look and colour to it. It's more like watching a cut scene from a game.

I don't get the love for Rogue One. I watched it to about 1/2 way and turned it off.

For me:

Great: Empire Strikes Back

Fun: A New Hope, The Last Jedi, Revenge of the Sith, A New Hope, The Last Jedi, Rogue One, Solo

Poor: Phantom Menace, Attack if the Clones

That's probably the one i've liked most out of the new bunch

Folks/strokes i guess

Agreed, loved rogue one.

Rogue One is the best of the new movies and honestly for me, probably ranking maybe 3rd out of the entire saga.

I’m sort of repeating what I’ve said previously by rogue one is kind of boring on a rewatch with it’s very distinct 3 acts / settings. Feels sort of linear. Refreshingly subdued leads but crappy supporting characters... other than the robot, super awesome.

Don’t even get me started on L3 from Solo. Easily the worst Star Wars character ever.

 

[Grandmaster Fap!]

So basically Return of the Jedi all over again...

Ha exactly what i was thinking, is he going to pull a genius rabbit out of the hat or just think "Well i ripped off New Hope for my first film, maybe i should rip off RoTJ for my next one!?".

Just showed this to my brother and he said Star wars needs to end, is he a witch and should he be burnt

Don't know why we needed 2mins of previous movies, but what i saw of TRoS looked pretty good - loving Rey and the double RED sabre!!

And the "Story of a Generation coming to an end" - yup i grew up from the originals, so looking froward to this.

 

[Gerard]

That's one hell of a lot of star destroyers

 

[Mr Jack]

Agreed, loved rogue one.

I enjoyed it at the cinema although not to exceptional levels. I didn't make it through on a rewatch. Much weaker than TFA, TLJ, or any of the originals.

Looks suspiciously like another Death Star type weapon with that large red beam hitting the planet at one point.

 

[Spit]

Lots of copy and paste!

 

[Combat Fighter]

Lots of copy and paste!

I gotta bad feeling about this.

 

[ianh]

HAHAHAHA - No.

My guess is that "Darth Rey" is a vision similar to Luke's "Darth Luke" one at Dagobah. The fleet of star destroyers looks meh, more like it a storage facility rather than a fleet ready for combat, the village on the sand planet flying kites looks "odd" like the CGI isn't quite ready yet.

I did like the visual of the "rebels" brand new and magically bought out of nowhere fleet dropping out of lightspeed, I mean considering there was just a few dozen rebels alive at the end of TLJ and no-one was answering their calls for help, they've done well to accumulate such a large fleet and, should there be a need to say destroy a large fleet of star destroyers, well just lightspeed one of those small ships through them to instantly win any battle, just like TLJ taught them!
