Star Wars: Episode IX - THE RISE OF SKYWALKER

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

I think ALIENS is fine. T2 has the same "happily ever after" ending.

I've never seen Alien 3 tho.

alien 3 is basically a remake of alien 1 in tone and structure but with twice the cast and less suspense
they follow the same structure with their handling of he alien scenes and everything being similar, the plot changes a little but you are basically watching the same movie

Umm, did you read it? That's not what the review actually says.

"pissed off that Rian didn’t give him what he had meticulously built up in his mind for these characters"?

No, he's saying its a poorly made film on technical levels - poorly conceived story and scenes (both in drama and comedic moments.) That it fails on a basic filmmaking level.

He's not saying "Rose sucks" and "feminist agenda" and "I hate what they did to Luke" - he doesn't even seem to be much of a SW fan.

You always cry

And I'll laugh even harder if the worldwide once-in-a-century phenomenon that is Black Panther can't catch the "universally hated" TLJ...

BTW I'm thinking I might need to catch a third showing of RPO tonight.

Oh man that’s all I can say Ohhhh man lol

Yeah we’re leaving soon for our RPO Imax show. on a Tuesday night lol

Ready Player One is very close to Rogue Player One.

this is not bait. im being serious. but I watch Valerian and the city of 1000 planets yesterday and I liked it much more than Last Jedi. it was more fun and had a better plot and it felt like a really fun adventure. it had a lot of cool effects and it was fast paced and the action was really good.

I know valerian failed but I plan on getting it because it was pretty cool.

You always cry "narrative!" but have one of your own.



OMG... a main line Star Wars trilogy film, the first sequel to the highest domestic grosser of all time, with the first reappearance of Luke Skywalker's story onscreen after 35 years ... is the #1 selling bluray in its first week of release? SHOCKER!

Great the critic brings up Aliens/Alien3 yet I get the blame lol

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

they could have said that hicks and the girl returned to earth.
killing them was an edgy ridiculous way to try to shock the audience.

Nope. It was a logical move for a sequel to a movie that tried to create happy ending for the franchise.
There's no way The Company would go out of their way to keep the whole thing under a radar only to let it all blow up in their faces when Hicks returns with evidence. You think Queen brought those eggs to the shipp? Nah, it was Bishop's programing. Obviously they wanted Newt alove and infected too (second egg) but her dyin' in stasis at least made for less cleaning. Regardless, everything makes perfect sense.

we didnt need the extra agony

Life doesn't care.

imagine if they killed characters any time studios wanted a sequel... just because the characters dont work with your new story

The way it was written is at least smart and realistic. Call it edgy if you want and cry me a river.

okay then have the company kill them

Have the company sabotage their ship and kill them. sure. do that, do anything!

If they wanted to be edgy and say that life is not fair and this is a HORROr movie then dont have the alien grow from a dog's body but have the alien be born from Newt's body.

Have the alien rip from her chest and kill her in a bloody way. do that then, make it as horrible as possible. or have the alien come out of Hicks. again, make it horrible and graphic.

you want to shock the audience? you want to get rid of your happy family characters?

then the studio should have done something with it. have the company or the alien kill them.

have them wake up and have the alien kill both newt and hicks by biting their heads off. DO SOMETHING with them... thats the problem everyone on the planet had with that movie. it was LAZY because they didnt do freaking crap with them.

Have one of the guards in the prison shoot hicks and newt in the head when Ripley is not looking

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

T2 is fine because T1 is an action movie, not horror. It's funny tho, T2 starts with John bein' an edgy antisocial kid and Sarah in a Hospital for the Criminally Insane. That's sooo not vanila, unlike ALIENS' theatrical intro where Ripley's worst problem is that no one believes her story and that her flight officer license is canceled.

Alien 3, a horror movie where their main characters are killed off screen in the first 5 minutes and never shown the HORROR of their deaths....
Bravo alien 3 writers... bravo

killing your characters offscreen in a horror movie is the lamest most idiotic thing a director can do

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

You haven't brought a single reasonable argument to the table to prove that.
Bold claims do not prove anything.

Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it's bad.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

they lazily wanted to get rid of those characters but did not wanted to spend money doing anything with them and didnt want to deal with the actors likeness rights or anything
Michael Biehn has talked about this. how the studio had no intention of bringing any of them back even for a death scene. how they did not care at all to even show them get killed

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

I mean, they killed them for financial reasons....

They didn’t want to pay them.

End case.

And that's bad... why? I don't think showing Michael Biehn bein' torn to pieces with six years older Carrie Henn drowning in their sleep could make people complain less. Not showin' that is actually much more reasonable and realistic.

Re: Star Wars: Episode IX - December 20, 2019

Poorly written wank piece.

Even the haters be like “Aw hell no he didn’t just attack the imagery did he we ****ed!”

The PTSD must be extremely difficult to deal with lol

It’s ok in the Solo thread the TLJ haters are saying Maz not being in Solo will just prove how piss poor the ST movies are in establishing character arcs and continuity.

Agreed. And the funny thing is the bashers like to pretend that these discussions are always "tit for tat" back and forths when it's *always* them who cross the line and make inappropriate/lewd/sexually suggestive insults and then cry that they're getting banned "because they didn't like TLJ." Are the remaining bashers that boneheaded to not be able to connect the dots?

When has any TLJ fan ever once said that two bashers are screwing each other or are getting bent over by some prominent blogger who hated the movie.

Yeah I hear you on that. But I'm talking about the ongoing tactic from no one but bashers of resorting to sexual/lewd personal insults against people they disagree with. It's interesting that there is such a correlation between that type of behavior and those who bash the film the most. Also interesting that none of the remaining bashers ever seem to do the math as to why their fellows are getting themselves banned.
But whatever, I'm sure everything I said will fall on deaf ears anyway and we'll continue to see more of the same until only the grown-ups remain.

Yes, all part of a narrative-free civil discussion. Informed, civilized gentlemen of taste on one side, drooling trolls who should be banned on the other.

People on here who didn't like TLJ are bashers, haters, non-grownups, supposed "fans" (usually in quotations) who "weaponize RT" (kudos, Khev - seriously) And in the wider media (clearly in lock-step with Disney corporate) for months people who didn't like TLJ have been portrayed as old and intolerant of diversity, pathetic neckbeards who won't grow up, tiny in number and part of a largely non-existent "supposed backlash"; frauds who use bots to spam review sites and who should be ignored (except - suspiciously - must be discussed in literally every single RJ interview so as to repeat/reinforce the above.)

But no - it's great to have a diversity of opinions about TLJ. The full spectrum of views: from like to love to best SW film ever.

Great the critic brings up Aliens/Alien3 yet I get the blame lol

Wow. Nice dodge, Neo. Without the use of bullet-time too.

Annnnnd... back to the question - "did you even read the review, because that's not what the guy said."
