>Although getting mostly positive reviews, especially when compared to the much-maligned prequels, not every outlet has been impressed with new film: The Vatican newspaper - L'Osservatore Romano - called it "confused and hazy."
>he review said new director J.J. Abrams' direction has only one merit: "To show, by contrast, how the direction of the previous films was elegant, balanced and, above all, appropriate."
>It also said the film is not a proper sequel, but more of reboot. "Not a classy reboot however, like Nolan's Batman, but a twisted update which fits today's tastes and a public more accustomed to sitting in front of a computer than in a cinema," the review said, adding the film seems to derive its influence from the "sloppiest current action films derived from the world of videogames."
>The newspaper went on to say Star Wars: The Force Awakens "fails most spectacularly" in its representation of evil.
>“Darth Vader and above all the Emperor Palpatine were two of the most effective villains in [the sci-fi] genre of American cinema.”
Prequels were better T B H
OP are you a big fan of the Vatican's film reviewer? What did he thing of Fury Road?
>>64007297
My favorite new meme.
they would've hated George's planned sequels
Since it would've dispelled the black and white good vs evil the church supports
>>64007272
And suddenly, I'm with the Vatican.
>>64007371
Everyone welcome reddi.t to 4chan!
>Jews BTFO by the pope
I can't stop laughing
>>64007402
My second favorite meme.
>meanwhile the entire Vatican is getting BTFO about 2 books publicized about how incredibly corrupt and greedy they are
>>64007272
>Literally 1 week later after I made the original thread in /tv/
All of you are disappointed cunts faggots to be sincere relative.
>bashes TFA

>>64007272

Deus Vult!
>>64007505
Don't be fooled, the pope is a socialist from a socialist shithole called Argentina

He's a commie scum, but his reviewers are OK.
He'll probably fuck them for that.
>>64007568
>>64007505
>yfw current Pope is LITERALLY Sheev
>>64007581
He's not a Commie, the Catholic Church has rejected Capitalism since it's foundation as the economic form of the political liberalism.
When they did the trench run (ANH) THEN flew inside of the new death star (ROTJ) to target shit I had finally accepted that this was more of an homage than a new original movie
It's not the worst movie. It was still worth paying to see on the big screen. However it won't earn a place in the hallowed hall of good SW movies.
It's right in between the goodness of the original trilogy and the shit of the prequel triligy.
>>64007272
>derive its influence from the "sloppiest current action films derived from the world of videogames."
AAA shitty action games derived itself from shitty B movies in the 90s. Take responsibility for your shit hollywood
>>64007470
>about how incredibly corrupt and greedy they are
-Most priest have Clothes and ornaments customized with gold
-Grails, bibles and other stuff coated with gold
-Tons of art and sculptures in every chruch
-Probably the only religion with a private bank
-Tons of private colleges and schools around the world
-They collect money every sunday, plus at the end of the year you must pay 10% of your salary
Do people need 2 books to realize this? It's really retarded whe there is a church in a very poor town with people starving, but the priests with expensive clothes and the church full of gold and art.
>>64007646
Yet that same catholic church lavished itself in gold and guilded the hell out of European churches to where the Lutherans would come in and reject the heavily ornate materialism of the catholics and produce churches that were more minimal.
>>64007755
>>64007776
>>64007606
how the shit does Empire have such a low score compared to A New Hope? what the fuck
>>64007272
spot on. God wills it.
>>64007272
Pretty good review overall, especially regarding the awful taste of most movie goers and how much more effective Sheev and Vader were.
This part is stupid though:
>Not a classy reboot however, like Nolan's Batman
Anything "classy" or "sophisticated" about Nolan's movies is about as clumsily done as the dialogue, exposition, and action in his movies are. And they cater to the same dumb audience that TFA does.
>>64007642
UNLIMITED PEDOPHILIA!
God himself has spoken. JJ absolutely BTFO
>>64007790
hey tell sarah the jews could do the same
>>64007642
Sheev was the former pope as seen in the OP pic>>64007272
The new one is Snoke
>>64007776
>Tfw Protestant "Christians" are so brainwashed that they think Lutheranism spread due to Church policy and not because German princes wanted more power and the Church was in the way
Ayy

Indeed, Francis isn't a communist. He's probably a distributionist.
>>64007755
>>64007776
You realize that's how they pull in tourists and pilgrims, right? And that tourists and pilgrims are the source of their income? Income that they use to carry out the largest charity operations in the world?
>>64008103
Nah senpai, you don't understand. History, art, and culture is totes lame. They should just sell the shit.
>>64007790
I guess they'll just go down to Lucky's Pawn and Bait store and see if they can't get $500 billion for it.
Damn son, you know you fucked up if even God, who is omnipotent, doesn't want to watch your movie
>>64007834
When it easy first released critics were upset because it was darker than the original
Now sensibilities have changed and sith gets praised for being dark even though it's a tshi movie
>>64008103
>You realize that's how they pull in tourists and pilgrims
I'm not talking about vatican only, EVERYWHERE in the world where is a catholic church, you will see these expensive gold clothes, most priest use them only for special holidays like Chistmas or Easter, but they have them anyway.
Pic related, this is from a mexican state where the average income is $6 per day, yet the priests have huge gold crucifix and rings
>>64008539
>Priests give up their comfortable lives to live in relatively shit conditions
>"Boohoo, why are they wearing gold!?"
Why don't you give all your money away to the poor?
>>64008625
>Why don't you give all your money away to the poor?
Because I don't ask money for the poor neither
>>64007790
haha just sell the vatican XDDD
so true
>>64007272
Jew Jew Abrams villains were literally star nazis. I understand the Empire is supposed to be similar to them, but that was just ridiculous.
That's beyond fucking lazy.
>>64008938
The Empire was a thing.
These niggas are like the hardcore remnants of empires that survived 30 years of war with the republic. THEY ARE SUPPOSED TO BE edgier and nazier.

>mfw he is coming to my hometown next year.
Based Vatican
he prequels are comfy as fuck. Fun storytelling, awesome worlds, great characters, awesome action, and meaningful moments. True Star Wars.
I noticed that before 2009, a lot of people liked the prequels. Many were disappointed, but few outright hated them, and like I said, A LOT of people were willing to say they liked them. A thread like this couldn't exist today:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/18.72432-Am-I-the-only-SW-prequels-fan?page=3
Ever since Plinky the fat fuck made his reviews, Redditors have constantly linked to them, as if "Another guy said these movies suck so they suck!!!1111 I can't form my own opinions lol11!" He nitpicks the movies so much, his fans don't realize that you can nitpick ANY good movie to that level and it'll look bad.
