I had this happen to me twice this movie. Once for the Vader scene and once when fucking Ip Man recreated his ten-on-one scene. I lost my damn mind.
No because you’d have to basically redo the whole damn thing because there really isn’t a single thing from the prequels that would be worth keeping in a rebooted series.
I would argue that there were no moments that were not bad; also I don’t really see the substantial thought on mortality conveyed by having Liam Neeson sit down and meditate between bouts of a swordfight. But I agree with your overall premise that, yes, Phantom Menace was dogshit.
Nonsense. It’s at least competently made. I know this is tough for a certain cross-section of the audience to admit, but the prequels have literally nothing going for them. They fail in every conceivable way.
Rogue One is better, though!
That’s hyperbolic nonsense. The Phantom Menace is one of the worst major-release films ever made. It’s fine to dislike The Force Awakens, but c’mon.
Force Awakens was fine. It really was. John Boyega ruled, Daisy Ridley ruled, Oscar Isaac wasn’t in it enough but he was good in the parts he was in, Kylo Ren was weird and intimidating, seeing Han and Chewy and Leia again ruled, it had good lightsaber shit and good X-wing shit and good Millennium Falcon shit and it…
Yo, seriously, [MAJOR SPOILER ALERT] Vader’s rampage right at the end was probably the most fuckin’ amped I’ve been in a movie theater in years. I felt like my head was going to pop.
Better than The Force Awakens, for sure. In the abstract, as a standalone movie, probably better than Jedi, too, but I dunno, I’ll have to watch it another dozen times before I can issue a definitive ruling on it.
It was so good, right? Better than Episode 7? Better than Jedi?
It wouldn’t even matter if helmets made contact, because there is no rule about helmet-to-helmet contact on runners, and a QB outside the pocket running with the ball is a runner.
the hit was not ruled to be an illegal one
To pen an authentic and intellectual cinema review – the kind worthy of publication in America’s snootiest airport magazine – one must remember to include countless, such as it were, asides and clauses, seemingly without a purpose other than rendering one’s prose an inarticulate gruel of half thoughts, all while…
You act like this kind of thing is unusual:
NDA’s should be against the law in this case. Trump is no longer the CEO of a private company. He is the employee of 320 million people. Please tell me this violates some form of the Freedom of Information Act. If it doesn’t, someone needs to fucking get on that. The transition and everything that follows is part of…
You damnable youngs, the original flying knee master does muay thai
only if their savior is nailed to it.
“He threw into traffic”???
To be fair, the interception was definitely not Anderson’s fault
