Exactly. I mean its interesting if we actually had a compelling villain to root against.

I think she might be Solo and Leia's daughter, and they are keeping it a secret for the same reason they kept it from Luke and Leia.

Worst part of the movie are the villains. They don't inspire so much intimidation, fear, or conflict, but more annoyance, and dickishness, and oh and when it comes to General Hux mincing cartoonish evil.

Thought it was just okay. The villains were easily the weakest aspect
of the movie varying between mediocre and terrible. That and the too
too recycled plot from the original trilogy just felt boring. Basically
boiled down to oh its this just BIGGER.

Norrell does drive Strange away, but that is because Norrell is afraid that Strange is going to become another Raven King or will bring him back. In his foolishness he thinks keeping the knowledge of dangerous magic secret prevents it from being rediscovered. Norrell sees magic as a tool and a very dangerous one at

See this is why I can't see Norrell as being completely self interested in his actions. He is petty, vain, and weak, but he also understands the dangerousness of using the gentleman to bring back lady pole, and also understands what Strange is doing is likely to bring back another era like that of the Raven King.

I think the both of you a partially right, but also woefully wrong. Norrell more than anything sees magic as a tool, and tool that can make England great again, but its a tool that must be used exceedingly carefully. Norrell's biggest flaw was in his need to show how magic could be useful summoned the gentlemen. His

I feel the seem, I feel like I'm taking crazy pills overhear but everything about this movie felt so by the numbers. Joy, while I really like Amy Poehler, to me came off as insufferable through most of the movie. The film also dialed the sentimentality up a little to high, while making the most generic "imagination

Saw it last night, and I just thought it was okay. Pixar hasn't made a great movie since Toy Story 3. This was just so-so, it played up stereotypes a little too often, as much as I really liked Amy Poehler Joy was insufferable towards the end, and the movie lays the schmaltz a little too thickly. The short "Lava"

I still think he isn't a villain, I imagine Norrell as a deeply flawed character but not a villain. His chief concern is not allowing faeries and other such creatures back into England and to use magic like a tool like steampower or electricity. The fact that he made a deal with the Faerie in the first place makes him

Its been a while since I've read the book but I've made a realization watching this Norrell has been right all along its just he acts so selfishly and contemptuously. Norrell knows how dangerous what Strange is doing, because he did the most dangerous thing of all, inviting "the Gentleman" back to England. Norrell's

And I said "biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiitch"

Its kind of like watching America getting sucked into another pointless war. We can yell and scream to the ends of the earth but it will do nothing to stop Transf4…oh eff this I can't actually write that mindnumbingly stupid title in good conscious.

PS I'm not defending the movie just criticizing this review that seemed to be asserting silly things.

Funny that in the review he makes an assertion that it would be ludicrous for a pack of wolves to track prey over several miles, cause that is ridiculous. Also that the wolves are enormous, except that they are clearly about the same size as the men or a bit smaller. Take a look at some pictures of Alaskan wolves some

Would like to point out that Patrick Wilson's character in The Ledge is based on a specific individual that the writer/director met on his travels meeting fundamentalists across the country. In several interviews he says that Joe is a slight exaggeration of a fundie he met and several of the lines of dialogue Joe says

Actually choices have a lot of consequences in ME2. Check the most recent issue of GameInformer where they lay out all the choice/consequence trees for the final battle. When I played it was so seemless that I figured it couldn't have played any other way, boy was I mistaken.

Memories of Childhood
I saw this when it originally when it was featured in Spike & Mike's Festival of Animation. Got to see it on the bigscreen too. I was probably 10 or 12 and it easily stood out as the best of the bunch and made me a disciple of Wallace and Gromit.
