Plus R1 is good, TLJ is very good, the worst TFA can be accused of correctly is being a play it exceedingly safe remake of the original. Which after the gently caress up of the prequels is exactly what was needed. I feel like the people who poo poo on TFA are trying to poo poo on it for the movie they image/want it to be, not the movie it is - which is dumb as gently caress. Looking at TFA as it was meant to be seen as - a love letter to ANH, with new characters being established - it works very well.

That's not the part of my post that your original post is in response to. Also TLJ is not very good. It's okay if anything. A few decent ideas on a small island in a lake of poo poo. TFA is a joke. It's bad on so many levels. Daisey Ridley is a very bad actress.

Disney Star Wars is enjoyable, and the cruiser light speed scene in TLJ was such a beautiful sequence that it made the movie for me.

Marvel movies are fun and shouldn't be taken too seriously. The last few films have landed very well with me, Black panther, Dr Strange, and Ragnarok to name a few. Infinity war worked well and is definitely high up in the rankings. It's 100% not a stand alone movie but it's satisfying to watch all the interactions and having Thanos as the main character/focus/protagonist was a good decision imo. I'm just bummed that it thematically clashed with the ending of Ragnarok right at the opening. And while obvious that there's going to be a reset, the deaths had impact even if it's fleeting and rationed away shortly after the credits roll.

Thor clearly says that Thanos killed half his people so we're assuming Valkyrie got away with half the remaining Asgardians. Tessa Thompson was sighted on set during filming so her scene was either cut or she's in A4.

What IS your problem with Ridley???? She by no means a very bad actress by any stretch and certainly is a godawful load better than Natalie "Plank of wood or oscar worthy with nothing in between" Portman's terrible performances in the prequels.

I agree with all your takes. Also they should have killed off Leia in TFA.

You quoted one post in your initial response which is what I replied to.



Your proof is a secondary statement and is not what I was responding to.

And Ridley is just bad at everything. She has two expressions, sad-cry and RAGE.

I liked the part in infinity war where half of everybody died but i think it would be better if the other half of everybody died and star wars should do the same thing.

Rouge One will be completely forgotten, probably after the what is most assuredly a dumpster fire of a movie Solo since everyone will jump on that one if it tries to play dark and gritty.

Are we still getting a sequel to Fury Road? I know we aren't getting anything else in Dredd which is a drat shame.

Holy poo poo, are you me? I'm feeling more synergy with this than most things in /r/traa, which is pretty crazy. I mean, maybe not, because I cried when Tommy Pickles lost his brother during the first Rugrats movie, but heroic sacrifice gets me right in the feels, straight up.

Force awakens suffered too much from homaging/setting up from the original trilogy. There were a few neat looking bits but the script and pace was all over the place. Haven't seen the last jedi yet, might grab it and watch it with the boy tonight.

Rogue One's worst problem was making the robot the most likeable character in the film by far. He was the only character I gave even half a poo poo about. It also suffered from it being a totally pointless movie. Why do people need to know every single little detail of things? It's like the recent Alien movies, poo poo is better when it's mysterious. The current trajectory of aliens is basically "oh a robot did it" and Ridley Scott's fetish for gay robots is weird as all hell.

My favorite piece of Tank Girl trivia is how Ice-T is 100% unapologetic about it. Conan was teasing him a little and he just jabs right back with "one million dollars."

The whole interview is good but here's that part:
