Heresy! Iron Man 3 > all other Marvel movies, mainly thanks to Trevor Slattery (though technically not the villain, I admit). That said, the fact that all the nerds got so butt-hurt over the Ben Kingsely switch is the reason trailers these days just give away shit like Spiderman or...

Yeah. Snyder-visuals are getting really old. If they insist on keeping him on board, couldn't we at least have a hard-R Leonidas, Deathstroke, Rorschach, BvS-Murder-Batman crossover? WW can stay for slow-mo spartan-style tag-teaming with Leonidas.

Man. The White Stripes are making soooo much money of all those trailers.

The part where you made an effort to post it? Why would you post things you don't care about? The oldest known goldfish lived to be 41 years old /dun care.

Awesome. A thread with people both mad Disney is turning a campy 4-colour Norse-god-spandex-spinoff into a slightly off-white version and mad Disney is NOT turning a campy 4-colour Norse-god-spandex-spinoff into a Trump-coloured alien lizard. Gotta love the internet.

Bullshit. Iron Man 3 will reign supreme for all eternity. Superhero movies and possibly cinema itself peaked with that movie.

Agreed. John Wick isn't aiming for Citizen Kane, but if the success of JW makes action directors more likely to hold a steady camera at cool action, instead of using a gazillion cuts for every little non-issue, it's a win for everyone..

Because he makes studios a shit ton of money? Wikipedia has him at an all-time No. 8 with nearly 4 billion domestic revenue made by his movies. From the seven guys ahead of him (Spielberg, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Michael Bay, David Yates, Christopher Nolan and Robert Zemeckis), arguably...

Look at that army of Jedi over there, led by Rey, Finn, Luke and Jar Jar, each commanding a cohort of a million younglings. They are ... the last jedi!

No way. The got the Suicide Squad re-shoot guy to do all the reshooting and patching. Impeccable resume boosting character plots and such. Loved his work on Slipknot and Katana. Really guarantees integrity and putting-fans-first-no-matter-what-the-money-execs-say right there, does it not?

Rogue One didn't "bomb" in China. It just made significantly less than TFA, which is true for the US as well. TFA made 247 Million opening weekend domestic, R1 made 155 Million. R1 is probably going to peeter out at around half a billion US domestic when all is done. TFA made twice that. The...

And Star Wars wants to continue to sell crap to the very same people who were children in 1977.

Well, that's the Star Wars franchise and they paid for that franchise to get those fans so they could sell them what they want. Star Wars is still, all things considered, more flexible than many other (Disney) franchises (how much can you branch and experiment with, dunno, Pirates of the...

What? No Natural Born Killers love? They need to make a "Woody walks into a Cantina" variant of this scene (Spoiler: Woody shoots first!) Can't believe this clip is nearly 25 years old.

Still plenty of real continuity errors without killing any Bothans. One example: Darth Vader in Star Wars (1977) "Don’t play games with me, Your Highness. You weren’t on any mercy mission this time. You passed directly through a restricted system. Several transmissions were beamed to this ship...

Well, given that R1 is a prequel, it considers the previous prequels canon, and as such, those guys probably were already alive and kicking when the Galaxy was essentially run (or at least inter-galactically policed) by Jedi left and right.

Well, maybe, but the points RLM brings up about R1 (and the prequels before that) are valid. Of course there is web traffic and fun to be hand in triggering overtly sensitive fan-boys who take every criticism of their favorite movie as personal insult. BvS had the same oddly rabid crowd of...

Well, but Eisenberg being a total dork was part of the Zombieland formula. As much as I liked the pair in Zombieland, I don't think they would want to cast a young Han Solo in the bumbling-idiot-that-needs-to-get-some-real-life-exposure-role.

Sure. But R1 is probably still in the top 3 or even top 2 star wars prequels. Shares some off-key CGI and taking itself to serious and most other flaws with Lucas's 2000s outings, but the colour palette is much easier on the eyes. On the other hand, some of the acting does make Hayden...

People here who liked the movie liked that it was fan service with little wink wink moments like Yavin IV, Red 5 getting shot, etc.., They also like the idea of a "war movie" in Star Wars, which means more to them than some of the pacing issues, lack of charismatic leads, inane character moments...

Dunno, like all Star Wars prequels, it took itself way to serious (with the possible exception of the droid and the Spaceballs planet shield). Dodgy CGI also kinda gave it a prequel vibe. Still one of the better Star Wars prequels, but not Original-trilogy or TFA material for me.

Short review: Too much brown ...

I don't get why they didn't just recast that role with a similar-looking guy. Yes, the original actor was iconic, but his reasoning for not being there are arguably more understandable and the switch, especially given the time, would not have been any more disturbing than, dunno, Disney's...
