A handful of cops were using inappropriate force and murdered a black man.

I’ll give you that Star Trek: The Motion Picture is long and breezily paced, but I respectfully disagree with most of your other points James.

The movie zooms by in 83 choppy minutes, suggesting that someone high up the studio ladder stepped in after the fact and decided that brevity was more important than overall coherence.

Their transporter effect was one of the most memorable bits of magic I’ve ever experienced. Literally smoke and lights and mirrors, but damn if I didn’t feel like I went somewhere new.

Incredibly high jumps/drops were introduced in the first 5 minutes of The Phantom Menace with Anakin and Qui-Gon in the ship’s hangar. (Way more powerful than Luke’s bunny hop out of the carbon freeze unit)

Star Wars: Started with Jar Jar Binks, ended with Ewoks.

I hate to be that person...

Hannibal is a masterpiece and your opinion is dumb and wrong.

In all fairness, reports about this from news sites including this one sounded phony and trolling too.
