Yet you couldn’t resist that low-hanging fruit.

I was surprised at how often Dark Phoenix plays out as a chamber drama instead of a big action epic. Jean spends most of the movie confronting a series of father figures who have failed her: Xavier, her biological father, Magneto.

There it is, the snob moneyshot. Took long enough.

Dog Soldiers was decent. And I will give those films you recommended a try on a rainy day, but for the most part Marshall is not an accomplished Director to me.

I suspect Disney is paying A LOT of people to help rehabilitate the property now that they own it.

But then again, we still haven’t perfected the CGI body/real head thing. The only time it works is when the actors wear a practical mock up of the suit that is then painted over (like, say, Iron Man), instead of just a blue mocap suit (like with Cyborg).

All of those kids that were 5 years old and their parents took them to see it are old enough to write clickbait articles now.

They aren’t good movies, but, Star Wars wouldn’t be where it is now with Galaxy’s Edge and such if new movies had missed an entire generation and say we didn’t get anything substantial from 1983 to 2015.

But I get so tired of all the haters painting everyone with the same brush. You know what, sunshine? Not everyone takes pleasure shitting on movies. Some of us - and I know this will be a shock - don’t mind E1, 2 and 3.

The film’s target audience is now grown.

There’s a lot going on in these movies, but feel free to keep on ignoring it. It’s people like you, that created toxic fandom, but you probably can’t grasp that either.

TPM remains the best one, and only because it has some all timer sequences like the podrace and the lightsaber duel.

The story was well done. It was the direction and editing that did not. Both of which Lucas held a death grip on.

I’ve gotta chime in and say that the Podrace itself remains a fantastic work of VFX. It’s still impressive all these years later.

Stormtroopers have always been anonymous.

The reevaluation of the prequels continues the perplex me. But this video does seem highlight some of the impressive effects work. The landscape in the pod race is utterly convincing, in part because it is an effect where you wouldn’t necessarily expect one, and the light effects of lasers through smoke are undeniably…

Neil Marshall, with his chops in grim’n’gritty action and with his talent in squeezing the worth of every single damn penny of the production´s budget, was the perfect choice for that, and I still consider ‘Blackwater’ as the highlight of the whole series.

This made me laugh HARD for like, 10 minutes.

Mignola and Fegredo’s collaborations are buy-on-sight comics for me. And this book comes at a key moment for Mignola. He has brought Hellboy’s story to a conclusion (twice) so it will be interesting to see what he does when the pressure to tell new stories is personal rather than a matter of completion.

“The problem I have with most action scenes today is they are too designed,” he said. “I can’t shoot this if I can’t create a sustainable environment for my actors to work in.”
