Disney have ruined STAR WARS

[BIG BAZ]

Exactly. She's strong wi the force, not fuckin' Kryptonian.

was the daftest thing in the film for me

 

[Cockney Mackem]

I'm not taking 15 years too literally. For one thing that would just cut out A Beautiful Mind, which is a brilliant film.

The point is that Ron Howard's a top director. Way overqualified for a bairn's franchise like Star Wars.

But you did characterise my statement as wildly absurd despite it being factually correct.

Its not even factually correct as you haven't seen his latest 8 works. I especially expect Pinocchio to be a masterpiece.

His best work is probably The Grinch.

Well it is a thread about kiddies films, so I suppose I should have expected that!

Look, the man is bald, ugly and ginger and used to be Richie Cunningham. Give him a break!

You want his future work to be taken into account before it's made in a holistic view that exists independent of time, and yet you're so dismissive of Arrival

A bald ginger

Clean shaven with a beard

That's up there with "Arrival is better than Prometheus" in it's level of wrongness and absurdity.

Ron Howard has made more classics than that, never mind just plain old good films.

Arrival obliterates Prometheus which is an utter cinematic abortion.

Arrival is utterly stupid. Here, learn this language and you'll be able to see into the future.

 

[Geronimo]

Never seen a Star Wars fillum.

The trailers were enough to put me off and have continued to do so for 40 years.

Also never seen BladeRunner or Matrix -

Just saying !!

Favourite sci-fi

Alien (1979)
The Thing (1982))

If you want utterly stupid I can write you a lengthy list of the unintentionally hilarious nonsense contained within Prometheus.

I thought the last one was a load of bollocks as well but my opinion wasn't shared by my peers.

It’s shared by me!

I always thought Lucas had a master plan back in the seventies for a story stretching across nine fillums. After six he sold off the franchise and I suppose the new people binned off whatever story outline he had for the last three and just decided to remake a New Hope.

OK on the one hand it had been nearly forty years since the original (there was only eight years between Rio Bravo and El Dorado!) but the strength of ownership people feel to a franchise like this make it a bit of a rip off that they just remade A New Hope unashamedly with a football in place of R2D2 and Luke becoming Obi Wan instead of advancing the existing story.

Don't waste your time. Been done before. There's actually not much wrong with it. Alien Covenant on the other hand....

They played it safe, that's all. Can't really blame them.

 

[Mainze]

Fuckin tripe. Wait until it's out on DVD then at least ya can hoy sticks at it or throw the hower over a fence.

It’s for kids mate, relax. If they enjoy it that’s all that matters.

 

[Hawyatt Earp]

Think I'll trust all the other glowing reviews I've seen rather than those of a Bob Dylan fan.

I loved it. And I really like Bob Dylan too. Suck on that

 

[Tex]

Nah. Dedication of the army of multi-generational fans plus curiosity of others means it was destined to make a pile of money no matter what they did. A bit of thought and they could have made it brilliant, not safe.
