TFA is like TPM to me, where so little happens that I have no interest in torrenting after seeing it in theaters. AoTC at least has the Kenobi versus Jango fight, Dooku, and the Clones. 3 does even better as far as things I can look back at, even if the CGI looks worse every time I see it. I'm still amazed how fluid some of the movements are however. I'll post one in a second.

This shot related. Look at the shots from the chin turrets missing and striking the ground. Look at how small the beam is from the side beam turrets that the droid heads are sliced like a knife. The lightsabers take more mass out after a hit, but these beams have far more reach.

Look how fluid that running animation is. It's a bit exaggerated, like how they'd run in Power Rangers. It's amazing considering they didn't have any of the armor made, which makes me wonder how they did the mocap.

3 is bad, but it had redeeming meme potential and non-gag jokes built into the movie like lava surfing.

TFA has nothing going for it.
Especially in how so much it does has been done elsewhere, us NEETs on /tv/ who spend too much time watching movies pick up on it far too easily. It kills the enjoyment.
Like some posters are saying, TFA has no rewatch potential.

I don't mean the waddle from the armor. Look how his legs go out. At one point his right leg is out on the left side. Then when he mounts the droid, you see one of its legs go down as the trooper steps on it, then he hops up and is on top of it.
There's a nice movement and weight to everything. So often in CG things either feel too heavy like Snyder does, or too light like marvel does. ILM gets the balance right.

This is the first fair ranking I've seen. I like that it doesn't stick them into any linear order, but classifies them based on the content of the movie alone, regardless of how it compares to the other ones.

3 has pottery as a way to link both trilogies (pretty much like what has been seen in the previous episodes).

I don't want to talk about the 3 vs TFA debate for a second. I just want to talk about what you mean by "cringe".
Do you really "cringe" when watching other people do things? Do you consider "cringe" to be the same as second-hand embarrassment?
If so, why?
Why does it bother you when you see another person do something awkward?
When I get honest answers, they're usually along the lines of "I hate seeing people make the same mistakes as me", or similar.
If that's the case, it's certainly normal, but doesn't it also mean you're empathizing with the characters too much?

Not really. Emergency booster engine are just an easily understood way of talking about WEP like they had in old prop fighters.
It's the same idea of pushing engines beyond their safe limits when combat requires it, although in this case they made it a separate system because it's easier to understand what it does then.
After all, the typical viewer would probably assume that they'd have the engines at maximum no matter where they're going, which isn't the case.
I can understand what Emergency booster engines do just from the words. I don't know what a unhooking the superconverter from the engine mainframe or whatever they said means. It's babble. True technobabble.
>>68154558
I don't remember this. I thought hyperspace and the accompanying visuals was all the explanation they provided, since "hyper" and the image of the stars stretching is enough to convey that they're moving fast.

that doesn't make it any less annoying, especially if, as you may or may not intentionally be implying, they added the technobabble specifically to mess with Ford.

The guaranteed commercial success of the prequel trilogy enabled Lucas to take a novelistic approach to this trilogy. The critical misgivings were misplaced because it was reviewed as three standalone blockbusters, rather than a unified story. The critics and fans who rejected the prequels are generation that don't read books, and have only Hollywood as a model of what storytelling can be. The RLM reviews typify this outlook. With patience, a wonderful work of art unfurls.

Episode 1 methodically introduces the characters and themes, much like the early chapters of a novel, or the early episodes of a HBO serial like The Wire. It establishes Anakin's separation anxiety, his oedipal relationship with Padme, Padme's conflict between her youthful idealism and premature political responsibility, Palpatine's politicking and Obi Wan's reluctance in mentoring Anakin.

Episode 2 seamlessly transitions from Anakin's troubled childhood to his early adult years. His difficult relationship with Obi Wan leaves him yearning for a strong father figure and leads him to Palpatine. Later, the death of his mother further pushes him into a doomed romance with Padme, his surrogate mother. Episode 3 brings all these plot points to a crescendo. Palpatine uses Padme to pull Anakin to the dark side, and it is too late for his negectful surrogate father Obi Wan to prevent it.

The themes of the prequels perfectly tie into that of the original trilogy. Anakin's lack of parental guidance creates a troubled adult. Obi Wan redeems this past error by ensuring Luke has a loving family. Luke in turn rejects the stoicism of the old Jedi and builds the rebellion on love and friendship. The saga comes full circle when Luke heals Anakin with unconditional familial love.

For all the epic intergalactic warfare, the driving vision of Lucas's Star Wars is beautifully simple: the child is the father of the man. We need loving family relationships to develop morality and courage.

A good movie can make up for bad effects, since a good movie should be more than just visual spectacle.
There is a difference you know.

your next post will assume I was talking about 3 because you want to have arguments on the internet

Fuck you. I genuinely take issue with anyone who praises the schlock that is TFA. III has some glaring mistakes, whereas TFA is safe, but fuck you if you can't see the emotion of RotS and appreciate its passion and high points.

III was garbage, kid. Deal with it. It was an embarrassment nobody loved, so I can see why you would identify with it so much.

TFA was a whatever film, but still outweighs all prequels combined. Lucas is a fucking hack. You're a tasteless faggot. I hope you never get better or grow up as a person, so that when you slip in the poopy and die, you go spinning into Hell. That would be the neatest trick of all.

Literally the only reason you faggots like Epiaode III so much. My nephew will probably grow up thinking that Episode VII is better than IV for similar reasons.
>>
>>68155233
None of those are risks.
Luke was the big secret reveal. It's like saying the marvel post-credit scenes are a risk. They're not.
Solo's death had been asked for by Ford for decades. It's also the single biggest thing that got people talking. You can call it a risk, but it's a calculated risk at best, just like every movie ever.
sperglords are the hip new villains, so long as they're dark enough. It's the continued logical evolution from the dark antagonists of the 90s. Now they're dark not because they have terrible plans that usually involve drinking blood, but because they're a pathetic human being that irrationally hates others. Look at Zod, look at whoever in Quantum of Solace, etc.
The hero being a girl is again, nothing new. We already had this with the Alien and Terminator series.

The first ranking is possibly the safest of safe rankings. IV and V are usually trading top spots in most people's lists, VI, VII, and III are all generally considered middle of the road, with I and II coming in last with I before II in pretty much everyone's list.

That's a pleb opinion at it's finest. Not wrong, not at all, in fact I agree more with that ranking than the second one, but it's the plebeian opinion, plain and simple. The masses agree that's pretty much the right order, therefore it is not patrician. But simply disagreeing with that isn't patrician either, that's just being a contrarian.

The second ranking, that has balls, but it isn't so far out there as to be unreasonable. While I myself disagree with it, the argument could certainly be made for IV being a standalone masterpiece of cinema far head of all the others, with VII coming in next for taking some massive risks yet still being competently made. The case can be made for V being great but too slow, with poor pacing (though I would disagree, as great story-telling and world-building beats out competently made but derivative in story while taking some large risks in the casting). Everything after that is fairly pleb, as most people acknowledge that VI>III>I>II.

This friend knows what's up. I could respect prequelposters more if they weren't all parroting the same horseshit, or were lower in number but sharper in opinion and reason. Instead they're just memekids, and their rankings reflect that accurately.

The fact that they choose the most critically and publicly supported prequel, Episode 3, as their battle standard is proof that they can't even think for themselves on these matters. It's like being a Hot Topic punk, and it's just sad as shit.

opinions aren't facts.
we can say that a majority of critics found TFA to be a "fresh" movie, and we can also say that a majority of audience reviewers on RT/metacritics/wherever found TFA enjoyable.
We cannot say however, that these are the true majority opinions, nor can we conclude that this is a flawless opinion. The audience reviews are especially subject to this, as we cannot trust voluntary polling.

If the goal is to discuss among ourselves whether TFA was a good or bad movie, I don't see how these things will help us. In fact, the only source I see being useful is TFA itself.
