Guy Goodbody posted:Correct me if I'm wrong, but the single time a Newtype is able to physically move something using Newtype powers, he dies in the process, it takes the collective will of dozens of people and a state of the art mobile suit to conduct that will, and it's regarded as basically a one-time miracle. Pretty sure he got mind raped by the other dying dude. Then there is ZZ Harman fight where it is straight up BS. Don't forget CCA. Newtype powers never should have escalated in the first place starting it's trek on going Dragon Ball Z with more and more powerful people with greater "Will", but enough about Anime, lets talk about chronic alcohol poisoning.

I thought they cast Maggie Gyllenhaal as Leia for a couple moments. I like this movie as it felt original and for most part well done. It's not going to win any Oscars for anything but it is far better than that Hack Fraud JJ Abrams ever will be. The final space battle was so much better done than the one in TFA. It wasn't just throw poo poo at the screen like random fireworks hoping to blind you. You quickly cared a enough for these guys and they were god drat heroes when they arrived. I don't know  wrong with Tarkin but who ever did his voice hosed up. No where near British or menacing enough. All the Imperial officers weren't British enough, it was weak sauce.Anyone laugh when the rebels got to some waist high walls? poo poo is out of a video game. hemale in pain posted:I think people are just forgetting that Vaders costume has always looked loving dumb and cheap.

But a Mon Cal screaming out the obvious ala Admiral Akbar is good enough.

What the poo poo RLM? You fan wank over TFA, but suddenly story critical characters and period accurate technology are verboten? You judged the movie based on the loving audience? You complained it wasn't a heist movie when it was clearly sold as a dirty dozen movie? How do you miss the awesome sight of the Death Star breaking the horizon? Heck even the space battle was period accurate in how they framed it, they even look like the toys they are made from. I could go on and on. TFA is a poo poo movie. What a loving troll review. turnways posted:It's a difference between making logical sense and making good, entertainment sense. They needed to connect the end of R1 to ANH. It filled in why Vadar knew who to chase, why he is so pissed off and how Leia got the plans. Showing the Tantive IV costed no more than 30 seconds in a plot critical moment. It showed how desperate the struggle was as the troopers pass the plans on. Vadar gets somewhat rehabilitated into a badass who is rightly feared. What was a waste of time was when Kerrinc begged Vadar for an audience with the Emperor. That was truly fan wank and needed to be cut.

Nanomashoes posted:The gently caress is a period accurate space battle? It was shot, edited and framed like ANH and RotJ was. It most definitely didn't shake cam during those sequences like TFA did. The Star destroyers look like the plastic toys from the original, it was all CGI but they intentionally made it look like it was made in the 80's oppose to TFA which looks like Nu-Star Trek. Wicker Man posted:They gave TFA a pass for retread because as they say, it needed to be. It's only after that one that fan service and old plot points have to stop, they covered it in TFA hitb. It didn't need to be this way and it made for a bad movie.

turnways posted:It's not direct causation, just concurrent. There was a lack of pointed character-driven lines and an excess of lines that didn't directly serve the movie. More would've had to be trimmed to get those characters interesting but taking out the minor pointless nostalgia-bait stuff would've been a start. I am not sure what lead you to see Vadar is smart and cunning in ANH in regards to his investigative skills. You can't intuitive something from nothing. It was definitely a show, not tell moment R1, it links to ANH so things aren't happening in a vacuum. Also using the force arbitrarily is BS. If Vadar was so good and the Force so strong, why didn't he figure out Leia was his daughter with the force? The problem with the force is the same problem using super weapons and having Jedi/Sith everywhere, it stops being cool and descends into Dragon Ball Z power level rubbish and secret attacks, see: Sun Sucker, Darth Maul, Yoda light sabre fight. It's why in the OT Force usage was so restrained, it was to avoid having super powered characters like you saw in the old EU where Force powered people could do just about anything. The best stories from the EU had virtually no Force and no Jedi/Sith. Plus if the Force is so powerful why did Tarkin berate Vadar over his failure to retrieve the plans or to divine the location of the rebel base?. Also what Paladinus said. It was great we only saw one light sabre for a moment and no Jedi with none of the flashy dancing, just Vadar going at it. They have plenty of background options to go in another direction for the next movie. With the Bothans stealing the DS2 plans RLM can get their heist/spy movie and find out why these guys were so good at spying. Hopefully it ends in a spy like fashion with a dead drop. Trunko posted:two christmases ago i crushed my pinkie toe in a closing metal door and i heard the bone splinter and crack and this post is making my brain feel the way my toe did that christmas I am ok with this, enjoy the pain.

The Archaic posted:The main issue with R1 is the one-dimensional characters. We've got a big dude with a big gun, a possible Jedi-monk character, stone cold rebel spy assassin, girl who was taken from her father. Hell take a chance and have the two asian guys kiss just before the big wave of destruction hits them or something. Have Cardassian show remorse or redemption or something, make his death mean something, anything! My brother wanted Jyn Ersso to be an Imperial spy all along, gathering intel on the Rebel base. If written well it could have been a really cool twist. Cassian does redeem himself for getting the plans and not shooting Jyn's dad. He fails to extract him, the whole point is that he is no longer that rear end in a top hat who shoots his assets in the back when things go south or kills people on orders. He has gone from lone wolf to a team player who is does the right thing. He in turns redeems a group of people just like him. Jyn redeems her family's sins of creating the Death Star, she goes from a person who cares only for herself to one that makes the ultimate sacrifice. She also helps re-instil the hope and positiveness you see in ANH hope and the "can do anything attitude" for that 1 in a million shot, oppose to the dirtiness and despair that we saw in R1 as the council panics. The two Asian guys kissing wouldn't fly in China and would have been sort of out of place considering you would have to rewrite their relationship from best bros who have contrasting connection to the force to gay lovers. I would have like a little bit more on their motivations, but guessing they want to avenge their home city getting vaporised is enough. Bohdi goes from a scrambled, cowardly person in search of escape for having help construct the DS to a brave, resourceful person who is at peace with himself. R1 does introduce you to the characters, you still remember them long enough to type that out. Jyn might have been a little flat compared to Rey, but Jyn was a lot more believable, wasn't over acting and like every other character had a limited skill set. Rey is just poo poo. Jyn being a spy is m. night shyamalan BS twist terribleness. No. Plus the plot was already meandering in the first half, no need to add even more when it was barely moving what it had. Jyn's conflict was personal, not one of loyalty and why would she work for the same outfit that killed her Mom and kidnapped his dad? And for the love of everything holy, can we please stop asking for origin stories. They are all the bloody same and they are all bloody boring.

I was ok with the opening to RotJ, the weird thing about it was it felt like a mini-movie that should have been an opening gambit before you go into the text scroll. The first half of R1 definitely has it's flaws. The greatest error was the time spent on Forest "Suck Air" Whitaker who ending up being not much more than sandbagging. His purpose was to delay the cast long enough so they could all meet. He is still better than random 50's alien cook straight up giving leads to Obi Wan. Once the escape starts things get serious and start moving along nicely. I am most definitely not watching the Han Solo movie in the theatre. TFA somehow burned me out on him and I just don't care anymore. If he ends up in a trash compactor again it's going to be nothing but this  TNG Trek had First Contact which pretty good, the rest is trash expect for maybe Nemesis if you look at it as a dude-bro movie between Picard and Data.

Tacky-rear end Rococco posted:It's pretty wild how you can tell just from trailer shots that the cinematography in the new movies is light years beyond anything in the prequels. It's good that they've handed the franchise off to people who know how to make movies, at least. They went semi-old school with it, CGI drawn for the battles, but shot in the original styles of the OT. I am not sure if R1 had a shot reverse shot anywhere. The dialogue was pretty terse and not everybody was quipped with some sort of extreme try hard funny not jokes. that was left to the Monk and the robot. Everybody else acted like normal people with issues. I have no problem with them down casting Forest Whitaker and Madds Milkensen. Madds was effective where he was. Forest on the other hand, I have said what I needed.

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.

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. Monkey Fracas posted: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. 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.

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.
