a bone to pick posted:I think its infinitely funny that the 2 biggest actors in the movie, Forest Whitaker and Madds Milkensen, had a combined screen time of like 10 minutes. My friend said its because they couldn't afford them but this is Disney we're talking about, they could hire whoever they wanted at whatever cost for their movies. They probably realised that Edwards literally couldn't direct Whitaker and cut his screen time

GotG was ok, but the Star Lord thing got really grating after a while and the whole thing tried a little too hard to be clever all the time with everybody trying to be funny all the time.

I think it's to the movie's credit that, realizing this, they made the villain just a straightforward bad guy. People often claim that the villain in the movie "sucks," but a more interesting villain would have taken away from the character building. I'd note that it's not as if any of the Empire are particularly compelling villains in ANH. (Though I love Peter Cushing's performance.) They only became more interesting in retrospect.

Just because a movie is set in space doesn't make it a Star Wars movie. Galaxy Quest is the "best Star Trek movie" because it is clearly referencing Star Trek specifically, not just sci fi.

Tacky-rear end Rococco posted:I was suggesting that GotG cannot be the best Star Wars movie of the last two decades. GotG is movie. It's not Star Wars anymore than The Fifth Element. If they were both SW films, the Fifth Element wins hands down, it was borderline experimental, insane, fun and had just the right amount of plot with excellent pacing. It left you wanting more at the end and I still hunger for more of it today. ashpanash posted:I'd note that it's not as if any of the Empire are particularly compelling villains in ANH. (Though I love Peter Cushing's performance.) They only became more interesting in retrospect. The villain was the monolith that is the Empire. People like Tarkin and Vadar become no more than functionaries themselves in such a large organization with a boss we don't get to see.

They only became more interesting in retrospect. The visual design takes care of that. Everything about the Empire as it's presented is so dang cool to look at. Star Destroyers, stormtroopers, Darth Vader, TIE fighters, and the Death Star itself are all striking and memorable. One of the ways that the prequels failed is in not creating any new designs that stick in the mind. Meanwhile, the best the new movies can do is crib from the old ones.

Different people like different little aspects of Star Wars and when they think of something like Star Wars theyll see different things. Honestly the thing that makes Star Wars and not just a space movie is if the force actually feels mystical. This is one reason why empire is my favorite. Prequels failed there despite featuring Jedi but they turned it into generic organized religion, gotg just had the infinity stone crossover macguffin that all marvel movies have... tfa is a good start towards what I want. But to others there's other factors that play in that make gotg more of a Star Wars movie... for instance it might have tried a little hard with its humor at times but it was trying.

Despite all my feelings I'm still interested to see where Disney goes with the license- how much gas exactly is in the Star Wars tank? How long will it be before they make a true stinker of a movie? The tFA was great, R1 is probably at the very least competent and fun enough to watch once. They haven't made any grand errors or anything yet.Krinkle posted:awwwwww gently caress hand in your Big Insufferable Internet Movie Dork card right now and get out of here

This is my entire point, the two new movies have been great and good, why is everyone then turning around and going "Ugh, there's gonna be new Star Wars movies for years." Why bitch in advance? What does that gain you? Will the movies be lovely eventually? Probably, but why don't we wait until they are before complaining.

Hemingway To Go! posted:Different people like different little aspects of Star Wars and when they think of something like Star Wars theyll see different things. TFA went to far with Force Powers. It was like watching a session of D&D. OT was subtle in comparison, the most showboating thing was when the Emperor started tazing Luke to death. Everything else was a sort of boost to existing strength. "these are the droids you are looking for" rides the line, but the execution is subtle and gentle.

They haven't made any grand errors or anything yet. TFA drained the tank hard for me. I was quite reluctant in seeing R1, but I did it because we were celebrating a friend's birthday. I was quite surprised how much I liked it compared to how much I don't like TFA. Even so I don't look forward to more for the time being.

think about star wars like cumming. the original trilogy ranged from top quality head to solid p in v spooge action but that ended in 1983 and you've had decades of blue balls with only 3 very rough and unsatisfying handjobs to try and make you nut but they didn't work. then a skilled twink named JJ gives you a really skilled handjob and you cum 32 years worth of built up cum. but then next year you get another decent handjob but it doesn't really do it for you because you just got one and the handjob in 1999 gave you a venerial disease.

I think the negative feelings at this point are more because we sorta have a model for what they're going to do with Star Wars- the Marvel Universe movies. It's irrational at this point and nothing but a gut feeling but I'm not looking forward to Star Wars movies becoming tiresome because they keep releasing more and more of them. There's a chance that they'll handle it gracefully and not milk the setting/universe until nothing but blood is being pulled out of the teat but I feel like we'll eventually get there. Usually when Hollywood smells money they'll just hump any concept to death. *hisses, jerkily walks backwards on all fours into Pessimism Hole*

Then empire starts and theres a couple hundred rebel troops hiding on a frozen gently caress of a planet. wtf happened?

Don't get me wrong, I ended up being glad I saw R1 and I welcome the change from the fan wank JJ vomit that was TFA. I figured R1 would be a better movie than TFA from the trailers but I didn't have the impulse to see it until then. However that said I am not sure whether I give a poo poo anymore. I am certainly not going to see the mainline films at the cinema barring another social event. I don't care about Han Solo anymore. The next time they do something different and took a chance like R1 I might go see it on my own volition. FrankeeFrankFrank posted:SERIOUS POST They spent whatever the time moving house and hiding. Han Solo did cargo runs with his cargo ship. Luke flew escort. the Empire arrive at Yavin to see what happened to their Death Star. vadar spends however many months spamming probe droids. not sure there is much story in there. X-wing the game did a pretty good treatment of what happened in the intervening time.
