We may love or hate different films in the series but we universally loathe TRoS. I dont even hate it i think but its so laughably incompetent as a movie that i find it fascinating. One of the best comedies Hollywood has made in the 21st century so far without a doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used to not be a fan but he's impressed me lately. Speaking of wasted in Godzilla movies though. EDIT: Apparently this is Aaron Eckhart. I forgot this movie existed. At least it isn't just brown people I mix up. Edited August 12, 2023 by Cmasterclay 1 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently there is a rumor floating they are insanely pissed at Lionsgate for how they handled the release of the movie. It could have done decently as a wide release. I didn't know anything about them producing it. And they must have saw something they liked about it in order to produce it and yes this definitely should have gone wide and it probably could have had a decent run. I'd be pissed if I was them too at lions gate. I just rented it for $6.99, so hopefully a lot of people will discover it from word of mouth and they can make a bit of money on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baumer Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I don't think the rise of Skywalker is that hated. I thought it was a decent entry, but not nearly as good as the force awakens. The last Jedi is the one that I hate with a passion. It's the only Star wars movie that I truly despise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like Star Wars has always been cheesy and full of corny dialogue? That's the whole point of this silly kids series? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, I kind of forgot poor Aaron Eckhart existed. I vaguely remember seeing a movie called Battle of Los Angeles that had cool trailers that appealed to high school me. Movie sucked if I recall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle of Los Angeles is, of course, a Rage Against The Machine album. I give up! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ringedmortality Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 Eckhart is a bad actor and he's the worst part of The Dark Knight 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cmasterclay Posted August 12, 2023 Share Posted August 12, 2023 I love The Dark Knight and it's a classic blockbuster with tons of ambition. That said the "sacrifice everything to protect a hard-charging prosecutor and arrest more people" thing, uh, doesn't age quite as well today. But it works well within the context of the movie itself, and the ending is still so bold compared to the shit we get nowadays. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know Batman doesn't want to do it and stuff, but it's still kind of creepy and weird in a post-Snowden climate lol Dark Knight Rises is also a very funky movie with weird politics, especially since it came out during the Occupy Wall Street movement. Doesn't mean it's bad, but it is a weird little bugger. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
