"The middle of a trilogy is usually the weakest" ... except The Empire Strikes Back Tom Send a noteboard - 18/12/2017 02:45:26 PM

or actually, Attack of the Clones, which was marginally better than the Phantom Menace (though comparing the two is like testing two brain-damaged bonobos in a lab).

Political correctness is the pettiest form of casuistry.

ἡ δὲ κἀκ τριῶν τρυπημάτων ἐργαζομένη ἐνεκάλει τῇ φύσει, δυσφορουμένη, ὅτι δὴ μὴ καὶ τοὺς τιτθοὺς αὐτῇ εὐρύτερον ἢ νῦν εἰσι τρυπώη, ὅπως καὶ ἄλλην ἐνταῦθα μίξιν ἐπιτεχνᾶσθαι δυνατὴ εἴη. – Procopius

Ummaka qinnassa nīk!

Let me know how it ends Tom - 14/12/2017 11:52:15 PM 668 Views
That's about the only thing that is NOT spoiled by viewing the original trilogy Cannoli - 18/12/2017 11:51:30 PM 692 Views
It opened tonight. Just got back from seing it random thoughts - 15/12/2017 04:57:22 AM 956 Views
I found it very underwhelming to be honest. Legolas - 15/12/2017 06:57:39 PM 949 Views
But you don't like anything..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 15/12/2017 08:14:39 PM 290 Views
I like plenty of stuff. The latest Thor movie, for instance. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:33:39 AM 609 Views
But this story was not only halfway decent, it was the best Star Wars story ever! Cannoli - 18/12/2017 11:52:35 PM 617 Views
very minor spoilers random thoughts - 15/12/2017 08:43:44 PM 608 Views
Big spoilers. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:55:05 AM 756 Views
I think the two go hand it hand (still spoliers) random thoughts - 16/12/2017 01:43:00 AM 658 Views
Fair point. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:42:54 PM 724 Views
Thank you. I was looking for a breakdown but that tells me enough. Tom - 18/12/2017 01:45:41 AM 711 Views
Agreed with everything you wrote here. The Shrike - 18/12/2017 12:22:56 PM 678 Views
Well, I hope they are. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:32:29 PM 628 Views
The story being pretty weak? Roland00 - 15/12/2017 10:03:51 PM 679 Views
Well, in the computer games, for one. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:29:31 AM 640 Views
I have mixed feelings about it. The Shrike - 18/12/2017 12:18:05 PM 638 Views

Yes. Both the good and evil camps are shallow imitations of the original series. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:59:14 PM 587 Views
I found it confusing, terrible and kind of boring *spoilers* AgentApple - 16/12/2017 10:41:34 PM 694 Views
I very much agree with this review AgentApple - 16/12/2017 11:06:55 PM 735 Views
Regarding number 7. The Shrike - 18/12/2017 12:26:41 PM 724 Views

The Jedi were slave owners random thoughts - 18/12/2017 01:42:19 PM 606 Views
Yet they still managed to create a pretty great political system Tom - 18/12/2017 02:46:54 PM 614 Views
They weren't the owners, that was the Republic/Senate Cannoli - 19/12/2017 01:38:05 PM 614 Views
stop making excuses for the slave masters random thoughts - 19/12/2017 03:22:54 PM 535 Views
They are no different than Eisenhower, MacArthur or Pershing, all of whom led slave soldiers Cannoli - 20/12/2017 12:09:33 AM 637 Views
draftees are not biologically modified slaves random thoughts - 20/12/2017 02:49:33 PM 602 Views
No, they're just ill-prepared slaves Cannoli - 21/12/2017 11:34:02 AM 650 Views
No the Jedi sucked random thoughts - 21/12/2017 04:18:48 PM 640 Views
Re: No the Jedi sucked Cannoli - 25/12/2017 03:39:25 AM 600 Views
I got up and walked out. *spoilers* aerocontrols - 18/12/2017 07:48:42 PM 672 Views
I'm confused. Legolas - 18/12/2017 08:19:48 PM 628 Views
You may have walked out a bit early... *NM* Ghavrel - 21/12/2017 09:41:00 PM 321 Views
It's kind of hilarious how divided opinion is on this movie... Legolas - 18/12/2017 07:53:12 PM 772 Views
That would explain much *NM* AgentApple - 19/12/2017 07:15:36 AM 377 Views
I really liked it as a deconstruction of Star Wars. Ghavrel - 19/12/2017 10:34:59 PM 711 Views
You're going to have to elaborate on that one... Legolas - 19/12/2017 11:22:01 PM 752 Views

It is JJ Abrams and the idiot critics love him random thoughts - 20/12/2017 02:51:06 PM 663 Views
Abrams didn't do this film. Rian did. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/12/2017 09:46:21 PM 341 Views
It's not real opinion that's divided. Tom - 20/12/2017 02:59:59 PM 822 Views
Did anyone else think... *spoilers* Duke - 20/12/2017 05:04:44 AM 1080 Views
Well it was original fan-fic...first half tedious, second half quite enjoyable Sports_Gambler - 21/12/2017 06:14:35 AM 838 Views
