Am I talking about the Star Wars prequels, or Jupiter Ascending?
They were both soulless cgi shitfests desu
U BEGGED ME TODOIT
Honestly Jupiter Ascending was more fun overall, at least we got Redmayne chewing scenery. We didn't get dat Williams score though.

But JA wasn't at all soulless and in fact used a considerable amount of practical effects and location work. All of the splices and synths were makeup, most of the locations were either physical sets or on-location work, I think there may have even been a few actual matte paintings in there as well as CG mattes, something that's practically a lost art.

Giacchino's score was quite good. And he composed it in an interesting way. Most films are edited to a temp score of pre-existing music while the composer creates the final score to that workprint, but on JA he composed 80 minutes of music to the script and concept art and that was used as the temp score, allowing him to build off his own work.

the dragons/gargoyles were splices/synths and CGI.
Good point. The prequel apologetics apply to JA. The difference is no one defends JA because they didn't see it when they were kids and it doesn't have a full franchise behind it.
Though, give it a few more years and we'll have people defending JA.

Redmayne was godawful in this movie, I can't believe he won an Oscar in the same year.

Better than TFA
And so was John Carter

The creativity and artistic vision is absolutely there OP. I felt it too
Problem is that everything besides a few action sequences is so bad that there's no redemption for the film. It can't be better than a 2.5/5 in the long run

Defend watchmen next.

Yeah but the plot/dialogue feels like it came from the mind of a 13-year-old girl fursona.

Prequels.

And 7 does not, right? And we forget about that Dreamworks alien that has Luke's sword.
Fuck off, hypocritical faggot.
