You guys say you want risky. You say you want inventive. You say you don't want cookie cutter 

 

But you really want the same recycled shit.

No, I was laughing at the idea of a crowd-sourced big budget Star Wars movie.

WTF? WHat happened to the $28,3m Friday? 

 

It's in a galaxy far, far away now.

Lol, it's not about pacing. When twists in the movie are so dumb that they make more than half of the movie completely pointless and when pay-offs to big setups of the previous movie are spit in the face and laughably bad - it's nothing less, than a bad screenwriting. It would say that about 80% of TLJ is a bad screenwriting, on the level of "what mistakes amateures make when they write the script". And I would say any modern SW movie is much better than prequel trilogy after rewatching it recently, but it doesn't say much.

Whether the twist is dumb is highly debatable.

 

And saying the script is horrible is just silly.

 

Critics typically destroy anything with a terrible script.

One could say The First Order’s existence in the first place is already shitting on the events of the original trilogy. I tend to think they should have done something 100% different with Force Awakens. Brand new characters, brand new galaxy, etc. 

 

I dont want to make myself look like a know-it-all, but ive written something about that in the Spoiler Thread

OK TLJ is still a major success at the box office but if the more important toy sales suffer, Disney will fire everyone involved.

You kid but that is what fucked Tim Burton out of the Batman franchise he established.

[MovieMan89]

Btw, when will we be allowed to post spoilers in tags in the non-spoiler threads?

I first was thinking LJ was the Star Wars version of Lost World but I gues it is the series Batman Returns

It would be profitable, please most fans, a fun creative experiment and explores new possibilities for fanboy franchises.

You already have something like that. It’s called fanfiction.

Funny thing is kids my age had Batman Returns toys out the wazoo, possibly moreso than Batman 89. I think kids liked it a lot more than parents, who try to shelter kids. Soccer moms freaked out and threatened to boycott McDonalds, which then put pressure on Warner to go much safer.

Film crosses 300m in 8 days, is the franchise doomed?

- Some folks on BOT, apparently

But then they wouldn't be able to have easy marketing by having Luke, Leia and Han in the movie.

Yep, they went for a cash grab and it paid off for them.

I think doomed is an understatement at this point, we got to think of how this will ruin cinema.

TLJ is excellent, but it's not that good.

Not sure if serious.
