basically it was "how dare they show anything that was in the ot movies. How dare they show R2D2 and C3PO. How dare they have Star Destroyers and tie fighters and x-wings and AT-AT and such. They complained about the Vader costume. They thought the characters were flat. They actually thought it should be more PTish. Stupidest review ever imho.
Thanks! Yeah, I think that point of view is pretty dumb. How dare they do Star Wars things in a Star Wars film, really…
This video is absolutely hilarious:
They all sound like idiots.
Full disclosure, I really enjoyed the RLM review. It was probably the first time I felt like I was in the room with them.Can you sum it up for those of us that couldn’t make it past the part where they all make really obnoxious noises?
They didn’t like the characters, and the standalone Star Wars movie wasn’t really a standalone movie. It’s a movie for fans, not for anybody else.
I still don’t quite understand how that warrants three grown men moaning and screaming to no end, but whatever, I guess that’s what the Star Wars fandom is turning into these days.
I think Rogue One is made for the fans. And I think that is great. Who isn’t a Star Wars fan, anyway? The Star Wars franchise is probably the most popular franchise of all time and if Disney can make money while creating some entertaining films in process, then I can’t see anything wrong with that. I am still amazed how well R1 actually turned out despite a lot of things. Folks who wanted it to fundamentaly revolutionize modern cinema are probably right to be let down, but that’s their own damn fault.
