  1. I'm sorry, i can see your point, but doing your sequel with characters saying "there's no originality anymore, everyone wants sequels, blah blah blah" doesn't exclude your film from, well, just doing that. If Lana didn't want to do the film, which it seems that way, she shouldn't have done it. That's a statement i could really buy.
  2. Agree on everything. I'm also a huge Matrix fan, and i love Reloaded too. Revolutions was always the weakest link. This crap makes Revolutions look as a masterpiece. 4/10
  3. Smaller drop and more money than TLJ (-58%, 22m). This is good.
  4. I also think that Star Wars needs to be compared with Star Wars, so that's why i wrote this: "Star Wars trilogies had a consistency, first one being the biggest, the second the lowest and the third one in the middle. Even their percentages are amazingly similar: A New Hope: 307 (counting first release only, of course) ESB: 209 (68% of ANH) RotJ: 254 (82% of ANH) TPM: 431 AotC: 302 (70% of TPM) RotS: 380 (85%) Now, let's see this: TFA: 936 TLJ: 620 (66% of TFA) TRoS: to finish at 82% (what made RotJ) would need to make 768m, and to reach RotS would mean 796m, which we know is impossible now. " For me, to TRoS be at the same page with RotS, would be making 796m (or so). Cos you see the pattern, the third movie of the trilogy made 82 or 85% from the first of their trilogy. I don't care comparing it just by inflation, cos a lot has change from 2005 or 1983, not just ticket prices.
  5. I'm talking about the % compared with the first movie. That's the best comparison. How much of the first one, the third one made. Easy. In SW there's a good pattern of that, both trilogies did that almost exactly the same.
  6. Yes. Everything is because of TLJ. People got mad, because of TLJ. The story of TRoS is face pace and convoluted, because of TLJ. Luke doesn't shine, because of TLJ. We have a villain back from the dead out of nowhere, because of TLJ. Fuck that movie.
  7. Look, i know what you mean, but the first two Star Wars trilogies had a consistency, first one being the biggest, the second the lowest and the third one in the middle. Even their percentages are amazingly similar: A New Hope: 307 (counting first release only, of course) ESB: 209 (68% of ANH) RotJ: 254 (82% of ANH) TPM: 431 AotC: 302 (70% of TPM) RotS: 380 (85%) Now, let's see this: TFA: 936 TLJ: 620 (66% of TFA) TRoS: to finish at 82% (what made RotJ) would need to make 768m, and to reach RotS would mean 796m, which we know is impossible now. So, this is just bad, and 99% of this is due to The Last Jedi.
  8. Well, this is for those who still claimed that only a small group of "toxic" people didn't like TLJ. As if Solo wasn't enough, here's reality catching up with you.
  9. Agreed. Rogue One is the best film since Disney took over. I forgot to mention that i dislike the last scene very much. "I'm Rey Skywalker". Jesus. As i was watching the film, i kept thinking, "this is called The Rise of Skywalker so Luke will have his deserved justice or some Skywalker will have its golden moment, something...." Nah, is just Rey taking the name. Infuriating.
  10. The movie itself isn't good. Is better than TLJ, but that isn't good measure by my standards. Too convoluted, too fast pace when it didn't need it to. But i think that's what happens when you don't make an arc for the trilogy, and give that freedom to (originally) 3 different directors, and they fuck each others up. You ended up with 2 set up movies, no middle act, and a final movie that has to tie everything. MODERATION: This post has been edited to remove personal attacks
  11. Yes, it has its problems, but what can i say, i love the Star Wars Universe more than anything in film....
