If we go by the poster, its title was Star The Force Awakens Wars.

Ranking a PT film over ESB. Ballsy.
His name is swagmasta69. What do you expect?
I watched the Peanuts movie because I’ve heard some great things, but I really didn’t like it. D+
So does anyone know how to get a good copy of T2 3D: Battle Across Time?
Is there anywhere to get a good looking copy of T2 3D: Battle Across Time without actually going to the ride? It sounds pretty cool.
Should I see the Directors Cut of T2? Does it improve on the film in any way? I’ve heard that Biehn came back for Kyle Reese but was cut, and then added back in the Directors Cut.
Anton Yelchin is terrible as Reese
I always though that Yelchin was the best part of that film. He nails the quiet, profesional, but yet troubled personality that Biehn made so iconic. And he’s a hell of a lot better than Jai Courtney was in the role. shudder
This is a place to rank the Terminator films in terms of quality. In particular saying whether you like T1 or T2 more. For me it goes:
I’d say that T1 edges out T2, just because the characters are far superior. Other than that, they are equals.
I also really love the look on Luke’s face when Rey presents him with the lightsaber. It’s kind of like he regrets what he’s done, but is also sussing out Rey’s intentions, and ending on a twisting shot was perfect, to put both in the spotlight, not just Luke.
My favourite shot in the whole film is Rey sliding down the sand hill. I don’t know why, but the music and way that scene was shot just feels so genuine. You get the feeling she’s done this before. I also really like the scene where Rey is washing dishes, and looks over to the elderly women also watching dishes. I like this scene because you see the sort of realisation in Rey’s eyes that she may well be doing this until she is that age.
Those crappy pictures with comments on are just so tfa.
If the meme fits…

You sir, are quite something…
Wow.
I’m not saying that he couldn’t do a better job, I’m just saying that it sounds so arrogant that I had to laugh.
I debated weather…I should bring this up
JJ is a professional director. If someone gave either of us that much money, we’d make a shit film.
Not me.
This was the most I’ve laughed all week. Thanks for that.

Will the romance be Rey/Finn, Rey/Poe or Finn/Poe?Now that’s a thought.
Bro or Foe?
Ponn
I really want all the main characters to die, and the film to end right where Star Wars begins. Like maybe end on Vader ordering the Executor to fire on the Tantive IV.
Hey fellow galactians! I am Steven Hightower! Acclaimed professional film youtube reviewer. Here is my review of Star Wars: The Force Awakens. My opinion is not only clamored for, but asked for too.
Did anyone actually watch this? 'Twas beautiful…
It was posted before and it’s also not funny so unearned appalling bad taste.
Um…right now you sound like Bosk.
I notice some odd tonal shifts in ROTJ as well. Don’t get me wrong, I love ROTJ, but it feels weird when the film quickly jumps between cute and cuddly Ewoks to Luke and Vader’s dark final confrontation.
That’s probably my biggest issue with Return of the Jedi. We can’t feel worried or scared for Luke when we are constantly are going back to comedic and fun scenes on Endor, and we can’t feel overly amused or excited when we are constantly going back to the Throne Room. Even Revenge of the Sith is firmly “dark” once we reach the end (don’t take this as me saying ROTS is better than ROTJ though).
I worked my way through all the Blu-Rays that I got for Christmas finally.
Alien: A+
Aliens: A+
Alien 3: B+
Alien Resurrection: C
Alien vs Predator: D
AvP Requiem: DAlien: agree
Aliens: agree
Alien 3: Revoltingly morbid in places. Unnecessary. Some interesting concepts but otherwise kinda meh.
Alien Res: Had to pick up where 3 left off. The swim scene rates as maybe the most terrifying sequence in a monster movie, imo, but otherwise wasn’t my favorite.
Alien v Predator: I don’t understand all the hate on this movie. I liked it. Maybe B+.
Alien Req: Unnecessary and meh.
I re-watched the AvP films just to see if I was ritht, and I changed my ratings for both. Now I give the first a D+ and the second a well earned F. And maybe Resurrection is a C+
Can somebody please explain why The Phantom Menace is better than the other two? I’m not even being sarcastic, I just want to hear your thoughts.
I think it did less to crap on the OT characters then the two after it which more or less ruined the characters of Darth Vader, Yoda, and Boba Fett.
TPM didn’t have as many continuity errors with the OT either. I didn’t like that Obi-Wan was under another Jedi’s tutelage besides Yoda and I didn’t like being introduced to Anakin as a child. Although he was at least consistent with the character of Anakin being a good guy and wasn’t what we got with Hayden. It has the whole chosen one prophecy and the midichlorian explanation of the force which is stupid but probably wouldn’t have been as big of a deal if the movie was better.
Jar Jar is annoying but had he been less shrill and not been used for bathroom humor he could have worked. At least we were spared bad romance dialouge unless you count are you an angel as 9 year old Anakin making a move on Padme. Also no flying R2-D2. Even though Maul has almost no lines at least he isn’t as silly as someone like Grevious and him being more a mysterious character that doesn’t say much kind of works.
It feels like it is a better made film overall with more real sets and practical effects. None of the soap opera like couch shots of the other two. At least it had a puppet Yoda in the original even though it looked pretty bad.
It has the best lightsaber fight of the PT. It doesn’t have the OT grit where it seems the lightsabers themselves are dificult to wield and the feeling that the characters are actually trying to hit each other, but at least it is not as ridiculous as Yoda bouncing around like a racquet ball or the Obi-Wan Vader duel over the lava.
All of the prequels are pretty much at the same level to me and honestly I’d probably watch ROTS over any of them if given a choice, but TPM is also probably the least offensive in my mind.
You’ve convinced me. Time to edit my list.
EDIT: Damn opinion keeps changing. Time to revert it.

I think that Attack of the Clones is the worst, so I have thought of some alternative titles. I think that “A Galaxy Divided” would be good because thats what the premise is. “Dark Force Rising” would work well too, because throughout the film Palpatine slowly rises to more power. I also remember somewhere that someone suggested “The Republic Storms Forth” as a title, which mirrors “The Empire Strikes Back” and also alludes to the fact that the clones will become Stormtroopers.
I would like to see a film about the twelve members of the Jedi council arguing aboutbsomething fornthe whole film, called “12 Angry Jedi” Or perhaps a film set in between ROTS and ANH about drug dealing and corruption in Coruscant, with Elan Sleazbaggano as the main character.
What is the most dissapointing film?
All I want is an extended edition with the deleted scenes from the Blu-Ray.
