Imagine if star wars bombed but logan's run was a hit and made movie history, and instead of saying may the force be with you, it'd be box saying this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IKROeWxZHfg

lots of good kids movie are also just good movies in general, you don't get to retreat to "but it's a kids film!!!" when trying to defend a bad movie

yeah "it's for kids" is and has almost universally been a cop-out for lazy filmmaking.

I get the same gaff from the Doctor Who community in response to my scathing reviews of modern Doctor Who episodes. There's always that fan that says, "you're not a true fan because you have negative things to say," as if being a fan means you must love everything about it unconditionally and blindly. IMO, the problem with Rogue One is that the film was presented in the drab, shallow, pointless-action oriented format of modern movies, which simply doesn't work for a Star Wars film. Abrams was careful to maintain rich colors in TFA to make it feel/look more connected to the original trilogy. Rogue One to me looks like a modern reboot of the original franchise, and like so many of those, it fails to match or exceed expectations set by it's source material. The original Star Wars films set the bar really high in terms of quality, but the ingredients worked perfectly. Disney is attempting to tell a SW story as a modern doomsday action flick, and the result is hogwash. Why not stick to the format of the original trilogy? You know it works, you know it sells, you know it will please both new and old fans. To think audiences would prefer a colorless, drab, mindless action version to the formula of the original trilogy is patently absurd.

And we were well aware that that’s one of the things that’s been out there. I don’t want to say that what happens in Episode 8 [didn’t happen]. We have honored that. But I will say that there’s more to the story than you’ve seen.” He totally wants to say it didn't happen Donovan Trip fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Apr 17, 2019 |

What that person meant was that you have the ability to differentiate between good and bad things, an ability that all true Doctor Who fans lack. They were just making a statement of fact

Can't wait for the part in episode 9 where x-wing pilot Rhyyan Jonzon's space ship attack plan gets proposed and immediately shot down by Grand Admiral Cat Kenady.

There's always that fan that says, "you're not a true fan because you have negative things to say," as if being a fan means you must love everything about it unconditionally and blindly. I disagree. I think the fatal flaw of Rogue One is neither the tone nor the aesthetics, but the fact the characters are a bunch of boring ciphers and the movie is terrified of letting them have a normal conversation. The feeling of fatalism that permeates everything comes more from the fact the characters have no individual motivations and are just marched forward by the script than by the fact that they die in a suicide mission Like there's that scene where they're flying to the rain planet where it's like, okay, they've got some downtime, this is clearly where the group gets to know each other a little so the audience actually knows what's at risk and what's to be gained for these characters in the action to come, but instead they just... don't talk at all and the scene ends. It is so baffling and I feel like there must have been a real scene here in the original cut of the movie and some dingus edited it out because talking is BOOOORING let's get back to the lasers bitch!!
