Rogue One

Who's going tomorrow? I got tickets for 11. Can't wait to see it opening night with all my fellow nerds. :yep:

I was pretty excited to see this until I saw who the writers were and their past projects. Eh...

I am glad though that for once, I get to see Felicity Jones in a movie worth watching.

Not to the weekend here... Waiting on the kid to get back from college.

This weekend is packed for me unfortunately, but I am going to see it by early next week.

Yup, I missed it because I was in a big hurry to insult someone. Good Dad, good call.

It is CCS after all.... That's a priority here. :lol:

 

[ruprecht]

Meh.

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Meh.

Did you just "meh" Star Wars???? :bigfinger:

 

[Wintermute]

It's Star Wars motherfuckers.

Of course I'm in.

 

[AussieBear]

will wait for an internet release... a dead link has been on exodus for a few days

Meh. Stopped watching after Return of the Jedi.

(Srsly.)

That's a shame you watched Ewoks and missed the best SW movie so far, Star Wars: Episode III – Revenge of the Sith.

 

[bearmick]

I was a massive SW fan as a little kid in the 80s, had hundreds of little action figures, a Millennium falcon, an AT-AT, a scout walker, X-wing, even Boba Fett's ship.

Stopped giving a shit after the prequel trilogy. Still haven't seen The Force Awakens (likely never will) and didn't know there was a new movie until I heard someone talk about it yesterday. Actually didn't know the name of it until I opened this thread two mins ago.

 

[Gustavus Adolphus]

Fun Gus Fact: I've never watched a single minute of Star Wars.

 

[Crystallas]

Meh. Stopped watching after Return of the Jedi.

(Srsly.)

I wish I had that kind of discipline. I watched the prequels (like 20 times thanks to pop culture) and what has been seen can not be unseen.

And to be fair. Rogue One could wind up being a good movie. Let's not jump to conclusions(other than the conclusion Disney is milking the fawk out of everything they can.)

 

[BaBaBlacksheep]

Going in 3 hours! **** all the haters. I'm excited.

I know this is sacrilege to the Star Wars super fans, but 4, 5, and 6 were terrible movies. Chock full of bad acting, dialog and the rules kept changing, they are all kids movies.

I was 20 when #4 came out and loved it, no one had ever seen anything like it, just amazing. But as an adult I saw the flaws, i knew it was corny, and stupid but it was spectacular.

1, 2, and 3. Episode one was just as bad as 4, 5, & 6. Episode 3 is by far the best film in the series, not even close. It's the only one that is not a straight up kids movie.

Honestly look at 4-5-6 with a critical eye:

Obi-Wan gets cut in half and his corps vanishes leaving only his clothing, wtf? He was the only Jedi or Sith that had corps vanish power?
Hayden Christensen was terrible in 1-2-3 but the list of bad actors in 4-5-6 is endless. In fact Alec Guinness was the best actor in those but he phoned it in, thought the movie was stupid. He was right, can you imagine reading that god awful script with none of the amazing visuals or audio/music? Ford was the only actor that earned his paycheck. Did any one ever notice that none of the other actors ever did anything else? Yet Liam Neeson, Natalie Portman, Ewan McGregor, and Sam Jackson are actual A-list actors.


I know, you guys grew up on that stuff, it's like a first love, you can't explain it. You were never going to like 1-2-3 no matter what they were, then Jar Jar Binks came along and gave you an excuse to hate all three. Lets cal Jar Jar and the Ewoks a wash.

If an impartial person with no background on the cultural influences involved watched 1 through 6 here is what you would get.

3 (by far)
2
5
4
1
6

Sorry.

The movie was good. 7.5 out of 10. The beginning was slow. If you've read anything about the movie at all then you know the plot. No real surprises. Some cool cameos.

Reasons to see the movie are simple though:

1. Vader. (enough said)
2. End battle sequence. (quality shit there)
3. Ties in perfectly to IV.

This is a movie that I think Star Wars fanboys/girls will love.... the casual fan not so much. Definitely not a "kid" movie like some others. This is dark. It's depressing. The droid is the only real comic relief.

Will see again.
