only shitty things are shitty to me.
which isn't really fair. This movie isn't shitty per se, this movie was mediocre, just sorta bleh. it had no soul. it wasn't absolute shit, it just wasn't nearly as good as the slob job praise it's getting.
It made the same mistakes (I wanna call this, idk, maybe editing?) that the prequels did in that regard. It moves from shot to shot, scene to scene with no pacing, plot or story cohesion. This magnifies the mistakes and plotholes of the film. It seems like the film is a parody of itself. In 10 seconds Finn goes from being a bad guy to being some hippy coward to mass murdering all the people he's known his entire life and instantly he and Ace Pilot (Poe) are doing a step brothers parody "Did we just become best friends? Yep. Wanna go do karate in the Garage? Yep" and then after about 45 seconds of knowing the guy Ace disappears for another 90% of the film. At some point they are reunited best buds? This is the definition of shitty film making.
Unlike the prequels though, it seems like somewhere out there, there was a real film made. At some point it had a soul that was gutted and it was hastily edited down into a ANH remake halfway through the editing process. It's really quite glaring, I don't see how you aren't seeing it.
With the prequels they filmed a terrible, boring story and failed to edit it into a cohesive film. This one seems like they had intended to film a decent (if wholly uninspired and unoriginal story) and edited it down to clips that would make for good trailers and wouldn't take any risks of repeating the prequel disaster. In that process the movie lost it's soul.
But whatev it's kinda a dead horse. If you thought the movie was ok, good for you. If you thought it was a great film you are demonstrably wrong. I realize that I'm (currently) in the minority holding that opinion just like I was when the prequels released and faggots just like you (probably you) slobbed all over lucas' dick back then too. (if only eq had launched and became super successful in the mid 90s we'd have forums dating back to the prequel era) thus I pretty much have ignored this thread for the last 150+ pages cus i'm not about shitting up threads. but if you ask i'll answer.
But be honest, you don't think it's fucked up that the only defense you have, 300 fucking pages of praise for this film all boils down at it's core to "It's better than the prequels?" seriously? that's all it takes? Ride Along for Best Picture, better than the prequels trololol.
