Are you saying the direction of Episodes 1/2/3 is outstanding? As for his success, who knows, most people my age grew up with SW so flocked to the cinema, kids will watch anything of that sort and buy toys. So in that regards yes he's successful but a good director? far from it IMO.
Hunger Games -Catching Fire
The first one for me was a bit meh 6/10 maybe
This one for was much much better. 8/10 Even though jenny is a bit chubby now.
But certainly quite interesting concept - and ironic parody of our own x-factor/facebook filled lives.

Bruce Willis is just crap now... i dont know why he didnt make more of his comedic roles a la films like Hudson Hawk. Now (sorry i mean in the last 10 years) he only has one dour expression on his face and it stays forever!
In a similar sortof situation if you look at Tom Cruise ...any earlyish film like A few good men or Jerry Maguire he is chirpy and wisecracking in a light hearted vein. Nowadays its all serious straight faced ****..... very dull and boring acting persona he has carved out for himself
Doesn't matter about my point of view. Money talks. Success is based on money. Endless millions flocked to both generations of films. Including getting it on VHS, DVD and Blu-Ray.
Man of Honour
The most interesting thing I found about Contact was that it, more than any other SF film I've ever seen, had the feel of written SF. It's not just that it was pretty faithful to the book, but that it felt like proper SF writers had been involved. It certainly had weaknesses, but most of those were weaknesses in the original source material.

Money is one metric of success. Star Wars and Empire Strikes Back are great. The other films are not. Did they make lots if money? Yes. Are they good films. Not really.

The Muppets - 9/10
Absolutely loved it and watched most of the second half with a big grin on my face once they got to the studio and I started to remember the acts they used to perform.

If I recall correctly Tom Cruise fired his agent of 14 years (Pat Kingsley) in 2004.
He then changed agents again in 2010, which may explain his current line of movies where he is just a standard text book action hero.
His choice of roles under his first agent was much more varied compared to the last 9 years.
The Boondock Saints
8/10
Fantastic film, i like the artyness, reminds me of hannibal and dexter series where you kind of see the crime through the cops thoughts while it looks like he's conducting an orchestra, and the ending is superb.
8/10

Rise of the Planet of the Apes. 7/10
Monsters University - I was expecting a bit of a train wreck after some of the reviews but it was OK. I know a lot of debate has happened regarding Pixar films being better than everything else back in the day but the recent sequels have diluted them, I think that is true and look forward to their next non-sequel (however Finding Dory could still be good). 4/5

Just back from watching 47 Ronin, thoroughly disappointed to be honest. The trailer made it out to be a much more exciting film than it was. Not much action and for a Samurai film not a single drop of blood or gore is shown. While its a good story, it wasn't at all what I was expecting.

Saw this last night, wasn't expecting much to start with however kept me on the edge of seat in places. Ending was cut a little bit short as if they ran out of time but all in all a good film
8/10
No wonder so many girls have body image issues these days. She's stunning, and not "chubby" in the least.

Not really what I expected. I kind of knew the basic plot outline but that was really the first half of the movie as it turns out. What it ended up with, I guess it works but also thought it could've been better.
6/10.
