khev is on a roll!

But does it have the same magic as the original?

Yeah, pretty much.

 

[jye4ever]

We really haven't evolved much have we.

More of a r(evolve).

After watching FR again, and then watching MM2, I think FR is better than MM2, and more entertaining. MM2 feels and looks more real and Gibson IS Max, but MM2 is a bit slow and not much happens until the final chase sequence.

FR is better than MM2- except Gibson of course

[spindrift]

I must be slipping- at times I think TFA is much more of an engrossing, well done and acted movie than ROTJ ...wait I may have something there...

 

[jye4ever]

Ughhhh,

you guys are killing me with that FR > RW crap.

 

[Prime Clone]

Even prequel defenders/boosters such as myself can admit TFA is a better made film.

But can you TFA fans admit the PT is more original?

 

[Darkseed]

I couldn't make it thru either viewing of the movie...

 

[jye4ever]

TFA first female Jedi more original than anything from the PT.

The Road Warrior?

Please don't say yes, please don't.

 

[Darkseed]

The Road Warrior?

Please don't say yes, please don't.

I was agreeing with your post....FR was horrid IMO....Mel far superior character and films

Yeah, the PT is more original, but when something is crap, originality is just academic. When you step in it, you just want to wipe it off.

 

[jye4ever]

Whew!

But, to be fair to me I never said FR was horrible!

I remember after my first viewing leaving highly disappointed though.

But horrible, no.

Or maybe....

Agreed.

Hard to argue that one. For better and (often) for worse, the prequels were far more original than Force Awakens. Like I posted earlier, I think Lucas had some very interesting ideas.

I say horrible because I couldn't watch either showing and that says a lot. Hell I made it al the way thru FF crap

I will admit cinematography was outstanding in FR

TFA first female Jedi more original than anything from the PT.

It's way more original than all those female Jedi in the PT. And the Clone Wars cartoon. Both of them, actually. And Rebels. And comics. Books. Probably cereal boxes. And Anakin.

 

[jye4ever]

I should've been more clear, in a lead role.

 

[GasparZizou]

I'd argue that Kylo Ren is more original than Rey. Rey is not really original, she's just a girl.
