Jack Gladney posted:What's the consensus on Return of the Jedi being good, because I think it's really kind of lovely. The end part with Luke and the Emperor is nice, but that's about it. Has some solid individual parts, but yeah, it's kind of lame. I rewatched it recently and it's a pretty big mess that wastes a bunch of the characters. I will say that Mark Hamill basically carries the movie from the moment he steps on-screen. I was really, really impressed with his acting this time around.

Hammerstein posted:It's kinda funny, because in 2015 we also had the only movie, at least that I can remember, which ever managed to take an old and beloved franchise and bring it back to the big screen, but in a new, surprising and re-imagined way. while still staying true to the original vision. That movie was Mad Max. Creed.

Waffles Inc. posted:Yes! It evoked the same general feeling of hosed-up-ness that the tortured robot in Jabba's dungeon does (the one that's basically drawn and quartered). It was the only moment of "that is some hosed up poo poo done in the interest of this ostensibly good goal" in the movie I thought. It needed more of that kind of twisted poo poo if they wanted to evoke extremism more Yeah, there was a weird disconnect between that scene and Cassian shooting the dude who would obviously talk if captured and everything said about Forest Whitaker's suicide bombers being some disowned faction of the Rebel Alliance.

Wandle Cax posted:Actually yes this is different because it's a fictional character. But I don't see how it's gross and bad. The filmmakers considered Cushing's performance so worthy and his character irreplaceable, so they elected to recreate it as best they could as a sort of ultimate homage rather than any other, lesser option. Imitation is the sincerest flattery and all that. They did have the permission of his estate of course too. It's not an imitation though. It's parading his corpse around and I find it distasteful, regardless of whether or not his estate agreed to it.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:I honestly can't tell what the authors of this were trying to do with blind monk and heavy FPS class guy. Like were they supposed to be a couple? was the movie queer baiting? Was the movie just scripted so weird a friendship came off as romantic? Like heavy was cradling monk in his arms saying they'd see eachother again in force heaven by the end. It's pretty standard war movie stuff. It could definitely be read as them being lovers, for sure, but even if you don't it's not out of the ordinary.

Naw, Star Trek 2009 was great. Abrams also made a good Mission: Impossible and Super 8 was great. What you should be worried about is the fact that Force Awakens felt muddled and vacuous.

Literally every TNG Trek movie is worse than the entire reboot series. Probably Search for Spock, as well. Edit: But that's beside the point when it comes to whether he should do Episode IX. I think Force Awakens is just okay, but it made a ton of money and, in Disney's eyes, successfully primed the Star Wars pump. He's one of the safest choices, but he makes sense from their point of view. LesterGroans fucked around with this message at 13:11 on Sep 14, 2017 |

The Cameo posted:It does smack of Rian Johnson pulling a James Gunn, where his name and a slight stylish improvement over the established norm will mask the fact to a lot of people (many of which should know better) that he completely let the money men pick apart any aspect of the story that had a soul and is selling you an empty Happy Meal box of a movie with a smile. Yeah, hopefully it'll be like a Gareth Edwards thing where I'm happy a filmmaker I like gets a bunch of money so they can go do something else cool.

It would be nice if this movie did anything at all with Oscar Isaac, but I have my doubts. I mean, I'm glad the guy is getting the paychecks, but if you've got Oscar Isaac you'd think you'd use Oscar Isaac. The trailers haven't really lit me on fire even though I think Rian Johnson is great. Luckily, we haven't seen anything to do with Benicio Del Toro so I'm holding out hope that he's secretly the best part of the whole deal.

It's crazy to me that Benicio Del Toro and Laura Dern are in this film and seemingly do nothing important. It's like they tried to one-up Oscar Isaac in the first film.
