People who hate the prequels fall into one of three camps.
1. Reddit teenagers who think "prequels suck" because the internet told them to think that. Their brains are literally not developed enough to form opinions outside of groupthink.
2. People who were edgelord teenagers when the prequels came out and "hated" them because they hated everything. Probably just unintelligent in most matters.
3. Baby boomers who won't accept anything but Harrison Ford and Mark Hamill.
The prequels are excellent science fiction movies. Objectively,...

I didn't hate any of the SW movies, but I didn't love them either.
That said, I will probably never pay to see the newest rehash of something I have on cassette tape.
The newest film isn't science fiction, it's marketing.
didn't we have this thread yesterday?
fuck off, prequel contrarian
>>63898867
No. Episode I was an insult to the franchise as well as ultimately pointless, though I'll give you that episodes II and III probably don't deserve the hate they get compared to it, flaws aside.
>one of, if not the biggest franchise in American movie history
>the most hyped film for well over a decade; possibly the most hyped film of all time besides TPM
>opening in over 4,100 theatres over the USA

>huge number of presales, higher than any other movie by a substantial margin
>tens of millions of fans...

I have no idea how Jurassic World did so good.

Dinosaurs have more appeal than space nerd shit
summer movies always do better than winter movies since more people have time off, more people want to go outside and more people are not busy preparing for christmas

Why is the Rebel Alliance called the Resistance now? Where's the Republic? What happened to the Empire? Didn't it end? What's the First Order? Wasn't the Empire just an instrument of Palpatine trying to destroy the Jedi? Didn't Vader bring balance to the Force with his death?

Why wasn't this in the title crawl?
Why did they even need BB8's portion of the map? If they'd had R2's portion, couldn't they have just compared it existing maps of the galaxy? What was the point of having a red line, why not just have an X-marks-the-spot? Why even use a map and not coordinates?

I'm now watching that shit but if you mean Sargon of Akkad he's the king of faggots.

I thought describing yourself as "cynical" to seem different stopped being the cool thing for teenage atheists in 2008
What would have been a LOGICAL, canonical prequel plot?
Anakin falls to the dark side only in order to save the life of someone he loves.
During this entire event he is clearly emotional torn and could even be shown crying.
At the end he could express that he did everything for the person he loves and shown that he's not truly evil.
Only then to believe that the love of his life betrays him.
But after all of this, the first question he could ask after becoming Vader wouldn't be concerning his own well being, but that of the person he still loves.
Oh wait.
That's exactly what happened.
The general story of the prequels made sense. It was just horribly executed with shit dialogue, performances and effects.
Anakin's portrayal and the portrayal of his fall to the dark side should have been handled a lot better.
"Hey, cool it edgelord."
>>63898071
I was expecting a force ghost Anakin to appear in the film and tell Kylo he switched back to the lightside and how wrong he is.
Does Kylo who worships Vader's helmet, not realize his grandfather went back to the Light side? Stupid.
>>63898071
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

>not realize his grandfather went back to the Light side? Stupid.
The novel adaption apparently explains that.
Star Wars fails to out sell Korean movie, "The Himalayas" in shock.
The highly touted force awakens movie fails to gain traction in Asia and especially Korea, with a measly $1.3 million Friday in the Asian country.
Koreans had been off put by the casting choices and lack of male lead.
Japan's Box Office weekend was also stunningly low, failing to break the bar set by episode 3, the prequel.
source?
Source faggot
In Japan, the $13.5 million take was well behind the opening weekend of Star Wars: Episode III — Revenge of the Sith, which bowed to $18.97 million in Japan in 2005
>star wars remains only for garbage westerners
I think Tarkovsky utilized an aesthetic that can be compared to the poetic movement of Imagism. He certainly disliked the semiotic conceptual approach to visual theory, focusing more on the surface itself - a sentiment shared by his idol Bresson. Only the pictures that were captured and projected were the primary means of expression, without any "deeper" meaning attached to them, and they were rendered with painstakingly minimalist techniques. Thus all that remained on screen, be it the shot of the throbbing temple of the soldier-instructor in The Mirror or the mysterious...

I-I was only joking. Let's have a nice thread.

did this guy make Andrei Rublev?
Young Stunner: Aged 18 – 20. She’s a stunner of a brunette. The actress has a couple of scenes, and a great final scene where there is a major twist. This role shot the week of August 5th in Belfast.
GET HYPED
Hype for what? That's not Cleganebowl.
Lyanna confirmed?
Has GoT ever shown any of the main cast's butt holes or vaginas?
Star Wars is known for it's shitty acting, so why are people picking on Daisy?
she's an ugly slag
good question krager
>>63897691
Abrams has a chance to fix that. Doesn't.
Regardless of your general opinion of Star Wars, we're all in agreement that The Force Awakens is a.) better than all three prequels, and b.) as good as, if not better than Return of the Jedi, right?
>>63897626
Almost as good as ROTJ.
No its just as garbage as the prequels.
The same issue that plagued J.J. Abrams' Star Trek films plagues this one: it feels less like a legitimate installment in the franchise and more like a generic action movie with a famous brand name slapped onto it. Plus, it's essentially a remake of the 1977 original, with many plot elements from it (along with The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi) recycled practically verbatim. None of the new characters stand out as particularly memorable or capable of carrying this new trilogy, the action is glossy with X-wing/TIE...
