Rogue One is good, actually

Rogue One ruled. Was the only of the newer movies where I felt like there was something at stake. And it turned out there was!

I felt it was very, very intense especially in comparison to the rise of Skywalker. Which at several moments just had me sitting there asking myself if I was understanding it correctly because it didn't make any sense.

rogue one was horrible i didnt even see the new trilogy but i have a good idea of how empty the soul must feel afterward if it's anything like rogue loving one. the theater went ballistic at the darth vader scene due to what i posit an intense catharsis from having SOMETHING happen in a movie full of nothing, acted by nothing characters, acting in a nothing plot etc etc i cant remember anything but vader lol

I saw somebody put forward it would be a good short film which was basically just the Rebels escaping with the plans and the only part most people remember.

everyone always talks about "the darth vader scene" as if they have mentally edited out darth vader's other scenes in rogue one, and i don't blame them for it.

The thing I can't tell with engagement farming content is: are people getting exposed, or are the clicks that are driving this stuff coming from bots? It's too late for Facebook which is obviously just all bots appealing to bots at this point, but on places like Tiktok are people really searching for "korra swinging those things ai" or "[actress] throwing it back" (and never anything you'd expect like "[actress] nudes" or "[person] onlyfans") or is the algorithm coming up with increasingly out of pocket poo poo all on its own

Or a director who can draw out emotional performances but you hardly hire Gareth Edwards for that.

I remember people freaking out over how good and cool it was and when I saw the movie in theaters I thought I missed the cool scene everyone was talking about somehow because it just looked like the exact same lightsaber slop every star wars is now to me.

"Everyone's entitled to their point of view, but that's seriously a weird one."
In Fallen Order it's important that he's there because the whole game is about the remnants of the Jedi and where they go next. Vader represents both the worst possible outcome and the biggest threat to whatever they choose to do.

The prequels are well liked now because the kids who grew up with them are now in their 20’s and 30’s .

I post this every time a discussion about the reception of the Prequels comes up, it's a 1999 documentary following a bunch of diehard Australian fans as they get super hyped for the release of the film and then catches all their reactions immediately after they've seen it for the first time. Some of then loved it but others were immediately pissed. It's hilarious how many stages of grief they're exhibiting while they're standing around outside the theatre arguing: anger, denial, bargaining ....

This could be the Amazing Spiderman 1 thread instead. Personally it's a good film that spins its wheels too much and is mostly saved by Stone and Garfield's chemistry. Stone could and should do a classic screwball comedy instead of spending all her time with Lanthimos.

I never paid any attention to Amazing Spider-Man 2 and I just found out a couple days ago that they kill Gwen in that and their Green Goblin looks awful and I couldn't stop laughing.
