Blu-ray Samurai

I watched it just now.
Some silly coincidences in the first 20 mins. Dark side of the force was very VERY weak. Some light saber training would have been nice. Overall 6/10. Better than most of the Marvel movies I sat through in the past 3 years though. |

Looks like George just told everyone off. He's right. Most Star Wars fans are nothing but posers, anyway. It's sad when the only place that has managed to tell it how it is is 4chan.

Interesting and blunt comments from someone who doesn't have to play the PR game anymore.
Say what you want about the prequels (and I agree they are very flawed), at least they took risks and were the movies an artist wanted to make. The Force Awakens definitely feels more like a corporation making something to put butts in seats, which I can see an auteur like Lucas having a problem with. Especially when he sees people praise said corporation for doing so, which assaults his perspective on the film industry. It's too bad he didn't really have the talent to make something original, crowd-pleasing AND great at the same time with the prequels. |

Yeah, I said that in another thread and people seemed to disagree, but I stand by it. In the end, all good intentions aside, what matters is which film is more enjoyable to watch. If it's the corporate cash-in, so be it.

Where has this sympathy for Lucas come from all of a sudden where people are praising the PT simply because he got to make the movies he supposedly wanted to make without studio interference? The PT had nowhere near as many hurdles as ANH or other, better, movies that filmmakers struggle to make.
If anything the PT is safer than TFA and relies on a much more childlike tone to play it even more safe by targeting kids. The PT had the benefit of its main cast being established names in the universe and didn't create any new meaningful characters or droids. Anakin, Palpatine, Yoda, ObiWan, Chewbacca, C3PO, R2D2, and even Bobba Fett where already established and many were shoehorned into the PT for fan service or an over abundance of comic relief. The PT also failed to introduce a new main villain that had any relevance whatsoever and relied on pretty sights and special effects to wow audiences instead of telling a compelling story. Throughout the documentaries of the PT, Lucas himself looks completely uninterested and didn't even have enough ideas to flesh out 3 movies. The few interesting ideas that would have actually helped the PT were only touched on and completely forgotten just so he could lighten the mood to appeal to a wider market in his mind. TFA introduces a new main cast of heroes and villains, introduces a new droid that is popular, and isn't able to totally rely on characters from the OT. The OT cast had minor roles, mainly, along with them not afraid to do certain things with established characters. Why people complain about fan service in TFA and act as though the PT didn't have it in spades is beyond me. |

Lucas has always said when he made Star Wars they were for his young boys. The fact he wanted to make the prequels more kid friendly has really no bearing on those movies. That was his personal opinion. And for the record, there are a lot of people like me who like the prequels but dont' feel the need to let people know. Prequel defenders come out when prequel hating original lovers continue to trash on Lucas and the prequels. People who like prequels generally also like the OT. I can't say the same, and the extremes from the other side are ridiculous towards the PT. |

Ok watched it again and one thing is clear for me now, the originality factor. It was something I thought about after the first viewing. One thing Lucas did with all the movies, especially the prequels is he came up with a lot of original ideas for worlds, spaceships, characters and events within the movie. Is it just me or did this movie really have none of this? It really didn't have that same feel of originality or moments of when you went, "wow, that looked awesome" or "where do they come up with this stuff". It really just felt like a run of the mill sci-fi film...I still enjoy it, don't get me wrong...I'm just not 100% sold on it...
On a positive note, a cute girl ended up sitting next to me this time and I got talking with her during the movie - turned out it was her second viewing as well...long story short, I ended up getting her number after the movie. lol ![]() ![]() |
