Star Wars: The Last Jedi (Dec 15th, 2017)

Not annoyed that you don't like TLJ loki but literally ignoring the fact that I posted a link dated 12/16 to make it seem like I was referring to tweets made on 12/26? Come on now. And at no point was I even referencing the tweet that you *did* post.
There's your altered reality at work again.

Wow.. your link on 12/16 again was only referring to Luke's death. The tweet on 12/26 .... weeks later.... was Hamill's recant of his comments of not liking the movie or agreeing with his characters fate. Your altered reality as well.

Good great films do not get argued about too long usually,...but TLJ...I mean hey...legitimate. ..

Khevinito and jyenito should actually be happy and proud that people cared so much to post in here. That this thread gets so much traffic and posts.

Everybody hates Bright but that thread was dead even when the movie came out.

I wanted to play khevjye and become a blind fanboy defending bright at all costs and deny any problems....

But no one cared enough to even hate on it..... no one cared to even crap on it.


Same with valerian.... everyone hates it yet no one had the energy to hate it...

( i DO love bright and i do want to defend it, i thought it was great)

Which was literally the topic of discussion.

With regard to his tweets criticizing how his character was portrayed I'm fine with just accepting them at face value and I've already said as much. I believe him that he was initially put off by the narrative but then after further reflection and time to digest it, reading opinions on both sides, etc., he came to his senses and realized how great a movie it is.

Nothing wrong with someone being wrong especially when they're man enough to admit it.

When I said weeks I wasn't referring to his death comment. You called me out not understanding that I was neither agreeing or disagreeing with all the rumors of him knowing or not knowing, merely that it was "plausible" in the grand scheme of how these events seemed to have played out.

You mean like the people insisting that one must give TLJ multiple viewings in order to take it all in and ignore the bad as to just focus on the good? I admit all the time when I'm wrong. It builds character and strengthens people's trust in you when you can admit your faults. But opinions aren't as clear to be perceived as right or wrong unless we look into how that opinion was formed.

I haven’t even watched Bright yet though

 

[loki2371]

I didn't think Bright was that bad... The concept was cool, the execution couldv'e been better. It felt like a big budget made for scyfy channel movie. I'd watch the sequel if they made it...

Actually the fact that a movie might need to be watched more than once to fully appreciate isn't the scathing indictment that some make it out to be. Sometimes it just means the viewer brought so much of their own baggage that they couldn't properly evaluate it after one viewing. That happened to me with The Fellowship of the Ring, arguably one of the greatest films of all time. Now I didn't hate it right off the bat like some of you with regard to TLJ but I did have a mental picture of what I was hoping to see on screen and I walked away from that first showing blown away by the stuff I liked but also kind of pissed that the movie ended before Gollum's full reveal and I was iffy on whether Amon Hen was a worthy enough moment to end the film on. But after viewing #2 and #3 everything clicked magnificently and it has taken turns swapping places with ESB (depending on my mood) as my favorite film of all time ever since.

Am I saying that if you watch TLJ again you'll love it? Of course not. But I can see how Hamill would have a hard time giving the film a fair shake his first viewing after spending decades imagining his own fan-fiction of what his character should have done for all those years after ROTJ.

Yep he crushed the claim that threads of crappy movies get the most discussion. Debunk, debunk, debunk, lol.

The LOTR is much much deeper than SW in many regards and can be hard to follow at times. I can see needing to rewatch those, but more for things one may have missed rather than to change one's opinion.. They were also really long movies..

I love all 3 LOTR rings movies... I was only upset with some of the things they left out from the books, not with what they changed. I also enjoyed all 3 Hobbit movies. Granted, they were not as good as the 3 LOTR films, but still enjoyable. I've just recently (end of summer?) watched all 6 films for the 1st time with my son, and I still don't get the backlash for the Hobbit films. I've also read all 4 books, but that was many many moons ago.

Grace looks like a photoshop of Ralph Fiennes.
Like something they did for shiggles when they were doing Voldemort concept art.

I think I was adding a little blurb at the end of my last post while you were still responding but eh, no big.

I too love LOTR and feel that with regard to quality it's the strongest trilogy of all time (since ROTJ brings the OT down a bit.) A local movie theater shows the entire trilogy every December and in another year or two both of my kids will finally be old enough to fully enjoy them. What a treat that they'll be able to see them for the first time on the big screen as I did.

What the, lol.
