I've seen ROTJ hundreds of times, probably more than any other movie I've ever seen, and I never thought about that.
can ghosts be tired?
can ghosts be uncomfortable?
also they're in the middle of an unpopulated swamp, and they look like they're sitting on a couch chatting. imagine if ghost obi wan was leaning with his arm against a branch and had his legs crossed
it's so stupid.

Jedi is a superior film to TFA
Meh. Jedi benefits from being the end of the trilogy which means that you have characters, conflicts, and plot lines in which you're already invested. You're list is comparing the entirety of the character in the OT to characters from just TFA. For instance, no doubt that Darth Vader, encompassing the entire OT, is better than Ren. But is ROTJ Vader better than Ren? I would argue no. Vader plays the role of henchman to Palpatine's main villain and has a limited role in the film until the very end whereas Ren is a highly volatile, unstable character who ultimately engages in the worst evil in the film.
And, as I said earlier, ROTJ is a very disjointed film. There is not a lot of flow to the narrative whereas, for its faults, TFA tells a complete and smooth story.

worst scene in the movie by a long shot
"some say he went looking for the first jedi temple"...han acts as if he met luke skywalker this one time. just say he disappeared...why do we need to know where he went or what he was looking for...there's still the mystery of why he would do that, but it would be better at the end if the audience was wondering "what is this place? why is luke here?" you know, like it was an adventure or something.

quote:empire is the movie that establishes vader as one of, if not the most iconic villains. and in the next movie while his just taking orders from the emperor establishes the emperor, the way in which he does it makes vader look like a huge bitch. the emperor has about as much respect for him as he would his cleaning lady. also, vader doesn't kill anyone in the movie. he's just not the intimidating presence he was in the first movies, particularly empire where failure is punished with death.
But is ROTJ Vader better than Ren?
quote:ren has a personal investment in achieving his objective, we just have not the slightest clue as to ren's beef with luke. we know obi wan's beef with vader in the original, and in empire we mostly know why vader wants luke...we just don't understand that it's personal until the end.
Ren is a highly volatile, unstable character who ultimately engages in the worst evil in the film.

Over under on the amount of time it takes Blueboy to come in here and shite all over TLJ after he sees it? 30 mins maybe?
Posted on 12/13/17 at 12:37 pm to Bonkers119
don't know. I have a tendency to focus on negative traits of movies I like when even though the movie is good, it has sooo many flaws. how I feel about TFA. whereas Kingsmen 2 has problems but it's a short list so my mind is better able to focus on the fun i'm having and not the fun i'm not having.

blueboy is a strange guy. i think he points out legitimate good and bad in movies...he's intense and dogmatic so it rubs people the wrong way. good poster, i enjoy fricking with him though.
i don't know how long, but yeah i would put my money on him not liking it.

I don’t trust the tomato meter...especially for a blockbuster release with the name power of “Star Wars”
I hope it improves upon the first one, that’s all you can ask for

Metacritic has it at 85 with 49 reviews
Posted on 12/13/17 at 1:10 pm to WicKed WayZ
was just looking at that. It has 10 reviews with a score of 100
Posted on 12/13/17 at 1:20 pm to WicKed WayZ
I should rephrase, I don't trust reviews period. no need to anyway, i'm going to see it regardless.
1. a lot of reviews will praise a bad movie because it's a brand name. don't want to be the one to shite on the new star wars...or maybe they got paid
2. a lot of reviews will take a shite on it because everyone is giving it good reviews and it's a brand name...attention seeking
3. some will be too kind or too harsh because of their personal affinity for the franchise.
4. i read some of the one liners on RT but i won't read any of them because they might spoil. IGN, i do not care if they have "SPOILER FREE" in bright lights, those hipster shite heads can't help it...they put spoilers in their reviews.

That really rubbed me the wrong way in TFA, even though I like the movie more than most.
Han acted like Luke was some guy he knew a long time ago.
Not:
The Uncle to his child.
His ex(?)-wife's brother.
a guy he invaded the death star with
helped take down an empire
who saved him from jabba the hut
etc etc etc etc etc
It was kind of bizarre.

Just to be clear, I really like TFA. it's good. it's just got a long list of little problems.
In the end it’s characters we like and care about

I saw that. I also hate it when people call “Star Wars” something like “episode IV” or “a new hope”
Posted on 12/13/17 at 2:21 pm to tWildcat
It feels like such a cop out to say that now. Just critique the movie. If it has flaws fine but don't stoop that low.
If anything TFA was a rehash of ANH. Most of the reviews I've seen have said that Rian Johnson takes a lot of risks and def moves the story forward

Most of the exposition in TFA was bad because it was the new characters learning what we already know. The entire scene with Rey and Finn when they meet Han...terrible
Truly awful. "You're Han Solo?!" "This is the Millennium Falcon?!" "That's Chewbacca?!" "You knew Luke Skywalker?!" "This is a galaxy far, far away?!"
I even felt like they screwed up the reveal that Ren was Han’s son. It was both forced and anticlimactic.
Snoke: “The droid we seek is aboard the Millennium Falcon...in the hands of your father...HAN SOLO.”
Even seeing it for the first time, I was thinking really did they have to clarify that it was “Han Solo” he was talking about? Yeah, I’m sure there would’ve been lots of confusion about Ren possibly being the son of Finn or BB-8 until Han addressed it later.

Let's save the nitpicking at shitting all over TFA for another thread
