The commentary gets worse further in. Maybe they got drunk or it's deliberate but they get really obtuse. They really, really want that heist movie but being that knowledgeable about Star Wars you would think they would put two and two together to realise they will get that movie later at an undetermined date.

They bitch on about the team having no plan before wishing for Oceans Eleven for the nth time. Yeah no poo poo because they didn't know anything about the place and they didn't have time. They show you the team looking up the local directory, the commandos were plan 2/2.

The tension from the final battle doesn't come from a timer. The tension comes from the ebb and flow of the battle. Who is winning is constantly changing hands. The Death Troopers arrive for example is another reversal like the AT-AT and their subsequent destruction.

Had they not shown the Death Troopers disembarking you wouldn't know where they came from. Krennic did send them off but the movie always makes sure you know where things are moving.

They miss the reasons why the camera followed some of the action at such and such of an angle. They provided the motion to move into the next scene or frame so you know where and when something is happening.

It is something TFA is missing especially during the final battle as space and time goes out the window. TFA uses a timer but when that passes nothing happens. The same set of scenes in ANH has them show you the firing sequence from earlier just seconds after zero. If you use a timer, you have to show the countdown. Then you have people teleporting about the place leaving you asking where the gently caress everyone is and how did they get there.

Leia was being a badass by lying right into Vadar's face and had nothing to lose.

The character arcs were weak, but come the gently caress on.

It was a good start but they devolve and start missing the forest for the trees. It got to the point I wrote off their obtuseness as factitious.

This is a good example of when Jay mentioned Star Wars fans getting very upset over their criticisms of Rogue One.

ehh. i sorta agree, but they said from the beginning they arnt that sorta star wars fan. i like the movie well enough but i agree with the basic point. from a visuals/technical stand point, its good and it captures the athestics of the originals well, but it has none of the character depth or arcs.

It's blow back from them unjustifiably gushing about TFA.


Yeah, the problems isn't a technical one. I would take it any day over anything JJ puts out.

Krennic's cape is the best part of the movie. That guy is fly as hell.

Mike eating chips and smacking his lips on purpose into the mic is disgusting and not funny.

Also I've never seen Rogue One and all of that jumping around to random places at random times for the first 45 minutes of the movie is bizarre and the only reason people would praise completely disjointed hackneyed crap are neckbeards that dream of lightsabers.

yeah i got the joke, just listening to him wetly chew, swallow and smack his lips for a really long time is disgusting and not funny.

Plinkett singing the song from the end of the Phantom menace in that commentary is the funniest thing RLM ever did

All of their criticisms apply even more so to the force awakens.

How so? Force awakens has characters with story arcs

Nobody is going to talk Rogue One in another year.

RLM has been talking about it non stop since it came out since they're so butt blasted other people like it.

They're rubbing it in the face of people who are mad them because didn't like R1, the same way they rubbed it in the face of the people who were mad at them because they didn't like the new Ghostbusters. They've always sort of doubled-down and thumbed their noses at people who get mad at them for their movie opinions.
