Star Wars - Episode VII

[Goat]

Only in your opinion. Doesn't make it right. Or wrong for that matter.

Pretty sure it does and judging by the ratings all those films got, plenty of people agree with me.

the storyline for star trek wasn't made up, nor the hobbit

by slating the storyline for the hobbit your slating j.r.r. tolkiens writing.

What ?

You clearly missed the bit in which I said I havent watched The Hobbit, infact I turned off LOTR after 10minutes, so I suppose I dont like dat Toikien fellas work.

If you judge a film on ratings rather than your own opinion then that's your problem.

Obviously you can get an idea from a review but you can't tell me you've never enjoyed a film that got bad reviews?

What ?

Star Trek is based on a true story mate.

I bet you think the acting was good in Weird Science mate.

That movie has not aged well.

It made my right hand improve back in the day tho.

There's a difference between enjoying a film, and genuinely thinking it's good/has good acting.

Some films are enjoyably bad.

Thought The Hobbit was a bit pants. And I loved the LOTR trilogy (books and films).

I think hes spot on, havent watched The Hobbit, but seen the rest and all were pretty tosh.

Semi decent action scenes, awful acting and storylines that a 5 year old would get a D- for.

I think the main problems are:

- no sense of danger anymore...we don't think "holy fook, how they're gonna get out of this one?"
- no care for the characters, who mostly only pretend to die anyway (see Star Trek ffs)
- no immersion in the action, mostly due to stupidly-hectic editing with lots of software-powered zooming, rather than using the cameras to do the zooming. And why, in my humble own like, Casino Royale is so much more superior to Quantum of Kakk.


Without these things, I don't understand how the bulk of modern audiences feel any immersion at all. I fear the new Star Wars will be more of the same.

Totally agree, I watch NCIS LA, its terrible, the acting is hammy as fck and the storylines are always predictable and clumsy, but I love it so much.

Haha.

I have my taste in movies. I bet you anything we like some of the same films.

we probably do...did you partake in that "what's your top 3 films etc" thread?
