mrbellamy 6,275 Posted February 13, 2016 Share Posted February 13, 2016 I would say Nolan and LOTR are generally accepted as modern standards for relatively high-minded, ambitious blockbusters that remain wildly popular with the LCD. I mean, that's impossible to quantify but I can say nothing from Marvel has ever really stuck with me. It's all fairly competent but I would list a bunch of stuff before hitting the best of the MCU, personally, including a lot of flawed shit like Force Awakens, the Harry Potters, 21st century Spielberg minus Indy 4, or Avatar, for greater expressivity and emotional intelligence if nothing else.

Not Mr. Big 4,639 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 Lucas has more creativity in his pinkie than Abrams has in his entire body. He wrote the scripts, created approved entirely new worlds and creatures, and invented new ways of film making so he could sit down while directing.

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 It's one of the best scenes in the PT. I like how they have to get creative to survive. I like how the characters of Anakin and Obi-Wan are kind of reversed. Ani uses the force to calm down the rhino thing and then Obi viciously murders that crab thing. The tiger thing gratuitously strips Padme's shirt. It's like they just wanted to have fun and have a fun monster scene. It really stands out because almost none of the other scenes in the PT are like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
