publicist 4,643 Posted February 26, 2017 Share Posted February 26, 2017 The only right answer is that Goldsmith is and Will always be better than Giacchino. 3 hours ago, Rose Dawson said: Star Wars Episode II: Attack of the Clones I loved it. This movie is almost as bashed as President Trump. It's really an odd thing because it was fairly well-received at the time it was released, which wasn't that long ago. I can assure you that it was not well-received at the time it was released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Still, I don't know. Something fishy happened in the last 10 years and there's been a very obvious shift in the popular opinion of Star Wars fans. I attribute this to the Red Letter Media reviews and Disney's restructuring of the franchise to be OT-centric and essentially phase out the prequels. I won't have any of it, though.

Will 2,215 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Quote This movie is the real deal. It is smart, beautiful (god digital photography is the glory and the future of the world of film, the palette is strikingly dramatically colorful), thrilling and electrical. Essentially it is a pure action adventure science fiction fantasy with a touch of romance. Line up now. This Star Wars is for real. From that Ain't it Cool review. Indeed, this is quite glowing, to say the least, @Rose Dawson. Gruesome Son of a Bitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith I loved it. Now, I really don't understand the hate this one gets. It's a solid flick. It's my favorite of the Episode movies. It tells a good story (the best one, really, turning to the dark side because of love), the performances are a quantum leap above the previous one (especially Hayden and Natalie--the latter seemed to just be collecting a paycheck for something she was contractually obligated to do in AOTC), McDiarmid is hamming it up brilliantly, the score is fantastic, it has the highest number of onscreen deaths in Star Wars and it's massively quotable. I love the homage to Titanic when General Grievous' ship launches all the escape pods, breaks in two and then plunges into the planet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unlucky Bastard 7,782 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Someone else should have played Natalie Portman's part. She always looked bored and like she wanted to be somewhere else, like the theatre snob she is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gruesome Son of a Bitch 6,488 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 She was fairly good in Sith, though. I'm not sure what happened there. She was barely serviceable and occasionally atrocious in the other ones, so I'm always taken aback when I watch this one. "Nooooo!" was one of the first big internet memes. These days, all people do on the internet is post memes. George Lucas revolutionized the internet just as he did film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweeping Strings 2,358 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Bone Tomahawk - might return to this one day, but on Saturday night I gave up after half-an-hour. A horror-western starring Kurt Russell sounds like it should be an entertaining 90-minute B-movie-ish romp, but the running time of this is 2 hrs 5 mins and judging by the slowness of that first half-hour they seem to think they've made Unforgiven or something. The cover has a review snippet that calls it 'action-packed' ... umm, not going by the first 30 minutes it ain't. Cooties - more like it. A fun comedy-horror with Elijah Wood, Rainn Wilson and Jack McBrayer in which an infected chicken nugget causes a virus to spread through an elementary school that turns the children into flesh-eating savages.
