Well. Uh. I appreciate the quick response time, at least.
You should rationalize something, instead of just saying "it flat out sucks" whenever you feel the whim."Griffith No More!" said:
Your undeserved ego is what is really offensive. That added on to the fact that you constitute every other quote saying the same thing. It's OK if you don't like it. Some people can't understand the beauty of something no matter how good it is. But saying "it's just bad"...you can do better.
No one seems to be impartial around here, so you're right: you have got the high ground. We've basically reached a stalemate, where both of us are too full of ourselves to give in, so I'll be the first to concede.
It would be short-sighted and the main character would have much less depth.Aazealh said:
No, it's not. But "if you say so". It's perfectly understandable how someone like you would feel that way, however =).
Glad you agree; I was, after all, putting down two people with that statement(s).Walter said:
Sir, I am a rather idiotic newbie as well, and that review does not make you Roger fucking Ebert...This film is a piece of cinematic excrement, and that is being generous. Not only this, but it makes the inconsistencies with A New Hope all the more glaring. Therossman.com has a nifty article about that, by the way.
What I want to know is why anyone would want to watch these things when the LOTR trilogy is out there...hell, even Advent Children looks to be a cinematic masterpiece in comparison. For that matter, that live action Eva movie will probably be superior if Keanu shows up in Bill & Ted gear and George Carlin plays Gendo Ikari...

I don't see how it would, there's just no legitimacy to your assertion. You're not going anywhere posting stuff like that. The main character has close to no depth anyway. ::)

If I say so it's because it's true, obviously. :)

And what's someone like me exactly? A superior being whose exceptional mind prevents from saying bullshit? ??? I thought you said you wouldn't take stuff personally. :-\

Sorry, I'm not going to waste my time writing anything substantial about this movie, because there's nothing substantial to discuss about it. It's as plainly bad as the sky is blue, there's no point in me explaining why to hopeless fans in denial; basically, if you have to ask, you'll never know. Like I said, if you're a fan of Star Wars and shit, it's high times, so go ahead and roll in it.
That is good news. [Not being Ebert] is the nicest thing anyone has ever said to me. Although he has rated it as highly as I have, now that you mention him.bph said:

I can't say that comparing just any fiction movie side-by-side is ...normal. Your post is nearly reminiscient of one of those "Superman vs. Gadtzu" threads.

2.) honorable knight
3.) confused lover(/honorable knight)
4.) traitor for what he believes is a good cause
5.) 98% evil
6.) the SW equivalent of an angel
That doesn't make too much sense seeing as how 5 out of 5 considered it to be helpful...
I'm not judging anyone here nor am I taking things personally: what I meant was that you're ridiculously and unjustifiably full of yourself and small-minded...when it comes to perspectives on things [fiction, in particular] you aren't obsessively dependent on. Being a hypocrite about the personally thing for a second here, since you've obviously done the same: you're not a superior being either (take note of the bluntness).
I'm curious to see how long you can hold out from saying "Star Wars is (expletive) bad" again. Still, I do agree with this post of yours, so I'll stop and just enjoy."Griffith No More!" said:

Hahaha, not taking things personally? ::)
nir085 said:
Seems like you don't understand what depth is. Not that I care.
nir085 said:
That makes perfect sense because random people rating your review isn't proving anything. Ugh.
nir085 said:
There's like a big contradiction here, and what's up with "insulting" people? I can do that too. You can't take an opinion on your bad review? It's bad and you're an idiot, face the truth. :-*
nir085 said:
You've been a hypocrite about it since the beginning, and I merely pointed it out with my comment, so what's your point? That you don't really have anything to say?
Help yourself and stop taking things personally, it's ok for you to have bad taste, but you're just making a fool of yourself by being the typical blind fanboi right now.
I myself am not a huge fan of the Star Wars universe but I do enjoy the movies.
It can't be helped though. You either enjoyed the movie or you didn't. You were either entertained or you weren't. Simple as that.
Is it ever really that simple?dwarfkicker said:
There will always be the 'why' and the 'how'.
WHY didn't you like it?!
HOW could you be so stupid???!?!?!?
And they will never rest until these questions have been exhaustively answered. You know it, and I know it.
That must have come from a downloaded version of the movie. They would never show that in a trailer.
I saw the movie in the theater twice, so I'm not ashamed to say that I downloaded it. The picture qualtiy is as clear as that gif but the damn timer and date are running across the top of the screen. And the sound fucks up here and there.

I know the 3rd guy who filmed it, and my mate was going out with the girl. I think 1 of them may have died tonight because their website and the CKY fan forums they posted their videos on have been closed within the last few hours.
There are alot more details that im not going to post since random net people dont need to know them.
What they did was bloody stupid its a shame they learnt their lesson the hard way.

Tell the third guy to post it on the net. I want to see those Darwin Awards as they happen.
I just rewatched the original trilogy for the first time in a while, and it just cemented how much better it is than Episodes 1-3.
Luke vs. Vader in Empire Strikes Back is my favorite lightsaber fight of all time.
The new fights just seem like so much dancing.

i saw this movie last week. i don't understand why it's getting nonstop 10/10s at imdb.com...it was definitely better than the first two, but not because it was -made- any better...it just had more action and proportionately less drama/dialogue...the dialogue itself was still ass poor, the writing was awful, and the 'tragedy' was contrived.
for example, (spoiler)
the explanation behind padme's death was the dumbest fucking thing i've ever heard. she's apparently "medically fine" but she lost her will to live...which is making her defy human physiology and die right on the goddamn spot within minutes/hours. They could've just said she got hypoxic during the choking, which compromised circulation to the placenta, and caused her to go into shock, which would make perfect sense, explain her symptoms, AND provide a perfectly logical reason to deliver the babies (why they have cybernetic limbs in star wars and an Ob/Gyn robot but no c-sections, who knows). But no, she's dying of "a broken heart"...even though she said "there's still good in him" ..yet she still wants to die? Thanks, mom!

Yeah, even those fancy dancy Jedi moves in the prequels don't make those fights any better. Being a martial artist I have to say that in a real fight, YOU DON'T TWIRL THE FUCKING LIGHTSABER THREE OR FOUR TIMES >:( *cough* Obi-wan and Anakin showdown *cough* Anyway, yeah, original trilogy rules. ;D

Hey this is my first post... not Berserk related but...
I've seen the movie and thought it was pretty good. I just didn't have alot of the complaints alot of you seem to have
I just thought that the movie focused on the characters and their relationships, at least to the degree that a SW movie can. There was as many quiet talky scenes as there are in Empire, which is the most plot heavy of the old movies. I feel like "Revenge" was the most plot heavy of the Prequels. Whereas Phantom Menace was the introduction. Clones was also plot heavy but was still a set up for Revenge.
I didn't mind how frenetic the Obi-Anakin final duel was. I loved how it had alot of close ups and got almost abstract at times. I think we've seen the choreography heavy saber fights in Phantom Menace. This final duel was way more emotional and character driven.
I guess I was really into the movie... it may sound sappy but I felt bad for all the main characters at the end. Even for Vader who we now know is a character that tried to do the right thing but got roped in by a very persuasive (and evil) man.
And as far as the "dying of a broken heart" part it didn't bother me. I think the reason is because when I watch a SW movies I think of them as fairytales or myths. So when something that's really mythic or "fairy tale-ish" happens I never have a problem with it. Star Wars is NOT sci-fi by any means. It's pure fantasy as much as LOTR or whatever. It just happens to have ships and aliens rather than horses and dragons.
So all in all the movie was great and really brought all six movies to a close. Even though Episodes 1 and 2 haev some lame stuff in them I'm still interested in the story and the characters so they still had me engaged. I think the Star Wars story is probably one of the best fantasy stories put to film.
That's all!
