    Thought this was pretty terrible. The editing and camera work make Michael Bay look restrained and the reveals are laughably bad. What an incredible waste of a juicy concept. ETA: looking back on the thread I did actually post a few years ago that "I'll never watch this", so I proved myself wrong.

    I know for some that's crazy talk, but I thought as much upon release. Fantastic start when it shows the family enduring civilian life, then they get to the island and it sort of just chugs along. Don't @ me!

    The Incredibles wasn't great but given the family's arc it did seem weird how long they waited for a sequel.

    I never made a prediction but feel like I should eat crow anyway: I thought this had the 100-150m range written all over it.

    Cinemas are fucked™

    Yes, there was definitely a bit of collective hysteria over TPM at the time where it was like people couldn't quite admit that perhaps the most hyped film ever just wasn't that great (and then some). It's hard to say exactly when the more appropriate reaction we know today became mainstream but it was many months if not years after release.
  7. Hatebox
    Oh yeah, that film exists.

    Don't put it past them bringing a reincarnated Vader back for IX.

    I'm not a SW fan at all and can ultimately take or leave any of the movies, but the fact that TLJ even has a moderately cohesive plot already puts it far closer to Empire. It's fine to say Empire is the series pinnacle and TLJ is condemned to remain in its shadow, but c'mon:

    This debate got so boring I believe the board collectively agreed that it was somewhere in between. Which it was.
  11. Hatebox
    Insofar as Clones is literally one of the worst big budget franchise movies ever made, I think it's fair to say TLJ is at the very least closer to Empire.

    Jumanji's definitely doing better than I thought it would. I doubt there's much if any nostalgia happening, it was just the right movie for the right time. TLJ's only okayish performance didn't hurt either.

    TFA was the definition of design by committee (a committee whose MO was "make it as much like A New Hope as possible".) It's weird because I didn't even like TLJ that much, but man there's a lot of bullshit being peddled around here.

    Someone on my Facebook newsfeed just posted something along the lines of 'just got back from last jedi, whole thing was just a long toy commercial!!' I resisted the urge to reply 'is this the first Star Wars movie you've ever seen?'

    They were, helped along in part by people like me who were purely curious about the 3D. Before you start, I'm actually one of the few apologists on the forum for Avatar's screenplay: Cameron's really good at telling populist stories. But man, 4 more of these things...

    I think it's a given the next movie will increase, because both Disney and Abrams will be safe as fuck. A shame, perhaps, but totally their prerogative.
  17. Hatebox
    Although it shouldn't be overstated, there might be a bit of that going on here. TFA really isn't the beloved movie its phenomenal box office suggests. Wonder if the next four (!) Avatar movies should be concerned.
  18. Hatebox
    No fuckin' way is this movie worse than Rogue One!

    I doubt anyone wanted an origin story for this of all things, but since all that matters are the songs and scenery who cares I guess? Give it all the money (in the UK at least).
  21. Hatebox
    This is one of the strangest posts I've ever read on this forum.
  22. Hatebox
    Yeah, THR is definitely negative, think I somehow read variety twice.
  23. Hatebox
    ^ Both kind of positive? Also, does Michelle Williams actually speak in this? I'm mildly shocked that an actress of her caliber is already playing the passive, supporting wife part.
  24. Hatebox
    Yeah, the title of this is definitely unfortunate. I saw the thread and my initial reaction was "I thought they canned that flop YA series."
