Re: Looks like a whole lotta

Dude, EVERYBODY rips EVERYBODY, OK? And if you make it better, it doesn't matter where you got it from (except for copyright issues, of course )...

Revenge is dark, Renge is the turning point, and of course Anakin didn't want Mace to kill the Emperor, he already had a hold of him (I wish we could've seen more into how they got to have such a strong bond, Anakin and Palpatine), he wanted him alive because he told Anakin he could keep the ones he loved ALIVE...honestly, it was all Qui-Gon's fault, he died and Obi-Wan wasn't ready to take care of Anakin...

why are some people so bloody insistent that people in the whole world all have the same opinion about one thing or another? these aren't movie fans--they're movie boors.

The whole idea of this thread, was to basically remind those who made some strong arguments that all movies with heavy CGI, basically suck. I am sure that some of you remember that this was discussed in a thread about the CGI effects in Transformers. And again, someone said that movie like Indiana Jones, now thats movie making. Well Lucas could have went old school with his movie, but we all know that he is in it for the money. Sort of like he did with his Star Wars franchise, what a con artist.

And most of the reviews I am reading are C- for this new Indie movie. Yea he will make a TON of money, but it will never match up to the original IJ movies. Yep, no classic movie here.

I have to agree with Chris, Sith is appauling in more ways than imaginable. I have to admit I only enjoy these film for the eye-candy alone, and that's sad when you really think about it. A movie like that should be good based on every element involved, but since the acting of the lead roles sucks and the storyline is no better than a Disney fairytale, the entire movie bombs! After watching Episodes 1,2 & 3, I, too, think Sith is probably the worst out of the bunch. In fact, I never thought it was that great when everyone was up in arms about it when it was released. My favorite out of the three was Clones and manily because the elements where there for the making of a good film and it had a decent, climactic ending. However, the acting again ruined what could have been a pretty good sci-fi. Take away the two love leads and you would have had an almost perfect movie, but instead we got the Lucas wooden suck fest!

And it sounds more like it will be meeting my expectations. I never expected Skull to be better or as good as any of the other films as most people might have hopes for. I expect a film that revisits the character, has some fun moments, a few laughs, some popcorn adventure and nothing more. Plus, considering Fords age and the fact that they couldn't get Connery involved, I'm not expecting greatness, just something fun to pass the time. If it only rates a C for most critics and joes, then good enough for me. I mean, it can't be that bad since they don't have an annoying character like Chris Tucker to ruin the film.

Well, for starters, I am not crazy for the LOTR movies, however, we have to admit what they did for a new generation of movie making...still, most of you love LOTR, some of you love Juno, I don't. It's the best thing we all have different tastes, or else, it would be boring.

CGI, well, let's talk about Pixar, and don't tell me that is not the same, because IT IS. They got the visuals, they got the story, they got the characters, they get their movies right, with ALL CGI...so, with a well managed production, you can make excellent movies using CGI...

I think one (of the many) problems with the SW prequels, is that we actually need more information, more facts, more things happening...why did Anakin and Obi-Wan grow so distant? How did Anakin and Palpatine grow so close? Who trained the troopers to do the Jedi-killing order? Who was Syfo-Dyas? Was Anakin actually 'miracle conceived'? Why did Qui-Gon have to die? Why does Liam Neson keep doing those kind of characters?

There are many loose ends that should've never been like that, and many gaps in the story that needed to be fleshed out. Again, Revenge came to close the prequel chapter with a darker and mature theme, because it needed to be darker and mature, we needed to see evil in triumph, we needed to see the Empire rising...and so it happened...and whatever you may say, the opening scene on Revenge is one of the best in the entire series...and the Jedi-killing scenes are the saddest ..."You were the chosen one!"

Personally I thought Star Wars Ep 2 had a couple of good moments but it was ruined by WAY too much CGI also. It looked like a digital cartoon of the new Millenium.

From the trailer of Indiana Jones 4 I see they used some CGI but they didn't go overboard, which is a good thing. Hopefully George Lucas learned from the prequels, besides I bet Spielberg wouldn't let him do it anyway. Kills the realism unless it's what the director intends but that would only be good in comic book stuff...I.E. Sin City.

well, the upcoming "the clone wars" CGI movie is the movie that lucas has always wanted to make--no annoying actors to direct, and everything was created in a computer anyway.

The new Clone Wars movie thats comin actually looks good. I'm looking forward to it. Hopefully it won't have tacky dialogue and story.

I don't mean to quash your hopes, but I think the odds of that are so low no Vegas book would even post them.
