Gets me every time. :lol
 
I know this is not a popular opinion (sorry DiFabio) but that is exactly how I reacted and feel many others did to the Tim Burton Batman film. I refused to admit it was not good because I bought into the hype. I would not admit how I felt and told everyone I loved it. Even though there was, IMO, huge plot holes, boring and uninteresting action, and a very so so story. I would not admit it... But I was very disappointed. I went through a time of openly hating the film but have learned to appreciate it for what it is... A very flawed film but a great piece of Nostalgia.

Actually, I agree that 89 Batman has many flaws, but I ignore them because of nostalgia and because I enjoy the acting and the design of the characters and city.

Can't wait for a reason to pop up for you to use your angry wrestler one, my favorite of yours actually. :lol

The legendary soundtrack, Nicholson's lines, the Batsuit, Batmobile and Batwing makes it an instant masterpiece.

Screw the plot holes and deviation from the comics.

Yeah he was good, ok fine, he was really good, I need reminders when it comes to the PT. :lol

He really did resemble a young AG, Lucas got the right person.

Whenever I watch TAKEN I envision Qui-Gon going after his daughter. :lol

Anyways, this photo of my son explains TPM perfectly.

See how happy he is?

He has no idea that he's about to go into an operating room where he will be subjected to a procedure that will bring him much pain and discomfort.

That photo is me before walking into the theater on opening night for TPM. :lol

Aw man. I hope your son's doing well, jye. :duff
 
Why are you apologizing to me JAWS? You're not hurting my feelings with that. :lol

You didn't like it, that's fine. Everyone is different. The thing this forum is lacking is tolerance of other people's opinions when it comes to movies and toys/collectibles.

Just cause I know you love it... Just being nice :)

Sir Ian Mcdairmid was the only good thing about ROTS, especially during his opera scene exposition.

The remainder of the PT are a sterile mess with lightsabers being swung around with zero emotion and lines being said by pieces of green cardboards.

I simply can not sit thru them yet 38 years later I can easily sit thru SW.

I was getting ready to rebuttal you comment about Sir Ian Mcdairmid being good in this film but then......

Summed it up for me.... Worst Lightsaber duel ever..... Sam Jackson was awful also... But man I hated the Emperor in this whole scene... Then there was the "no no no no no" moment.... Then his face became deformed from his own force lighting (stupid idea also) and then he just over acted in the rest of the film.

It's why I said I liked him in TPM.... I thought he was much creepier and more emperor like in that film.
 
Won't happen. Even if this film is a massive turd, people will lie to themselves like many people did with the Phantom Menace and like it because of nostalgia, the hype, and all the worthless merchandise people bought. Even most critics of a certain age will go easy on it initially just like they did with Indy 4. It'll be years from now, when people look at their talking BB-8 toy thing covered in dust, that they'll be ready to accept the truth. Of course, the film might be good, which is even worse in some ways, because if it's good, people will think it's the greatest thing ever, even better than than the first two original films.

I would easily say the same for Jurassic World. The apparent lack of standards and "yeah, but..." justifications only imply that it takes effort to love it as much as people claim they do.
 
If JJ pulls off another Star Trek, opinion will be divided over whether it's the best Star Wars yet or second only to Empire.

If he fails, yes, he'll be henceforth known as Jar Jar.

I still don't understand how that film made so much money. I don't even get the nostalgia part, because it's not like the original cast was in it, not to mention the last 2 films weren't good. I love the first film, saw it in theaters and I even had (still do) some of the merchandise, but there was nothing nostalgic about the new film, just another mediocre summer CGI fest with dumb humans doing idiotic things while the dinosaurs once again seem to have the superior intellect . It had a few cool moments, sure, but nothing amazing that could make me believe it was going to beat the first Avengers film and be the third highest grossing film of all times. :dunno
