baumer Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 This could definitely get out of hand. I don't want to hijack his thread by doing what I did. I apologize. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other two are bang on. Friday 8 is certainly one of the low points of the series. Part X is worse but not much. Thats why it is a flop ball. When you expand a list from 25 to 50 you'll get a couple cracked shells. I don't think anyone can deny a drop from a A+ to a B isn't hard to overlook. Godfather 3 is good on its own. It's just a letdown 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's about the quality that came before. Superman 4 and and Friday 8 are in many ways better than their predecessor. Certainly not the best of the series. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thegun Posted August 27, 2016 Author Share Posted August 27, 2016 47. Star Wars: Episode II Attack of the Clones (2002) Quite Possibly the most forgettable blockbuster ever made. If thousands of fans were frustrated everyone was left going "wah? afterwards. This is the film that gave us "Hate-in Christensen" As said earlier. It's not a an awful film, but it tests everything you have to offer. A Star Wars film at its worst deserves at least something. You need to be in the top 10 of the year. You dropped the ball really horribly here. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I'm not saying anything about Clones. I love it and I think it's massively under rated. But I realize many disagree. So...."do your worst BITCH!" 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dementeleus Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I think QUEST FOR PEACE should be waaaay higher. But I admit it may depend on the rest. Interested to see what's coming. If WEEKEND AT BERNIE'S 2 is on the list I might have to start banning people. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4815162342 Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I expect to see one of The Lost World or JP 3 on here. Depends which one thegun likes less. Can't avoid Alien Resurrection or one of the AVP flicks either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of the few times Christensen actually nailed the more vulnerable side of Anakin without sounding whiny. Also showed two INCREDIBLY sheltered and dysfunctional people trying to figure out how to court, and failing miserably. Looked at through the lens that it was supposed to be awkward, I decided I quite enjoyed it. Edited August 27, 2016 by Porthos 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Agreed @Porthos That scene gets so much flak for being awkward and silly, but as you said, Anakin is awkward. He has no idea what to say to Padme, no idea how to be romantic, no idea how to express what he's feeling so he says something stupid. This is well written by Lucas because he nails what it's like to be young and inexperienced and in love. You never come across as a Romeo, you end up doing exactly what Anakin does in that scene. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Porthos Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 Not gonna drag the thread through a defense of AotC, BTW. Not fair to the thread or @Thegun. Just had to get my "hey, the sand scene is actually good, y'all!" opinion off my chest. Carry on, everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan Hunt Posted August 27, 2016 Share Posted August 27, 2016 I think the line in of itself is fine... But Christensen fucks it up hilariously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is the scene comes off as them trying to act well and actually romantic but ending up stiff, unnatural, and forced rather than coming off as a deliberate design of awkwardness. So, I disagree on that score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
