Episodes 1, 2 and 3 were lousy but at least in them George Lucas tried to tell a different story inserted in the same universe. He made wrong choices but he had the guts to try something different.
In episode 7 and 8 the creative minds just copied (to the worse) Episode 4 and 5. Episode 7 is a copy of episode 4 with everything overblown in proportion but dumb.
Episode 8 starts with the evacuation of the rebel base... Mmmm where have we seen this? And ended with the hope of the last few ones... Mmmm... Where have we seen this?
But where episode 4 and 5 are spectacularly crafted, without any pointless scenes or weaknesses in characters, plot and character evolution, these new beefed and highly tech episodes are a sad comparison when we put them side by side.
The Empire Strikes Back is, IMHO, the best film of the first trilogy (and therefore the best of them all), and this feeble copy cannot compare in any way.
The final confrontation scene with Luke is really good and what shows more than anything else is how hollow Kylo Ren is.
Fifth lost opportunity in an universe that offers so much...
This is a terribly stupid film. I can't begin to describe how I cannot understand how someone who made the first Matrix can make such a brain dead movie like this one. Starting with the terrible script and ending with all the non creative director decisions, this movie made me lose two hours of my time.
Yesterday I finally saw Flyboys.
I love planes and WW1 planes specially.
I suffered the movie to the end. This is what I've learned from the movie:
The Germans only had Fokker triplanes. All of them red with the exception of one who was Black and evil.
I can't understand the Red Baron nickname since they were all red...
The Nieuports 17s were as maneuverable (if not more) as the Fokkers Dr. 1s.
Training was a fast thing. Walk over some boards after a chair spin and you were good to go alone on a trainer.
There was a method, even better than radar to know where Zeppelins were going and what they were doing to do.
Jean Reno is America's best friend. He's always there to help with Godzilla or to save the ass of someone who uses military planes without permission.
You can use a trainer for personal matters when you need it, but never at night. At night you might get court martial-ed.
French girls learn English faster if they are kissed.
Why have synchronized machine-guns firing through a propeller if you can shoot an enemy ace with your sidearm?
Why have synchronized machine-guns firing through a propeller if you can, with a quick calculation, make two Fokkers crash against each other?
You can improve someone's gunnery skill by cutting his hand.
My Physics teachers were all wrong since WW1 planes climb faster than they dive...
Once again they pick a true and excellent story, take it out of it's original environment, cheapen it, add some lame cliches and feed it to the populace. The dogs are beautiful, the rest is more of the same.
Shallow, shallow movie. Awful performance of the main character. Cronenberg movies can be strange, erratic, hard, but I never saw them as empty and cheap. This was one of the movies where I wanted to leave the room at the middle of the movie.
A good movie until the "let's put a zombie here to give some action to the finale" started. No need. It was good enough just being a good hard-core sci-fi movie. And without inflated speeches, a thing that is nearly impossible these days in Hollywood.

This is a movie where characters do not make sense. The ending is feeble and weak.Movie comment on Chappie

Chappie is a good idea gone South...Bad Hip-Hop meets Robocop.
