So it seems like what people like most about this movie was the nostalgia?
That is an interesting way to look at the two main characters but I’m not seeing how it makes the entire plot deep. It still doesn’t make the movie worthwhile
I don’t think so. I think back then they could afford lower ticket prices bc they were doing volume business at the theater.
I think people are critical of the new Star Wars bc it seems like they prioritize “wokeness” over good storytelling and likable characters. Lots of it feels very forced and rushed and generally messy. And when they’re critical of the lazy virtue signaling prioritized over actual good movie making, they’re assumed to be racist, misogynistic etc
I agree with them in general: the new Star Wars is inferior and seems like the product of focus groups and misused analytics from social media. But Doomcock and nerdrotic get so damned dramatic and angry that it gets silly. Then in general I really get turned off when they get quasi political and their rants spill over into so-called “SJW/liberal media” etc etc blah blah blah, that’s where they’re getting in over their head.
I still give nerdrotic a fair chance but generally the idea that there’s an entire wing of YouTube that is trying to make a career out of making foaming at the mouth rants about Star Wars just seems silly.
Saving that for the finale
bitch fat
So if I don’t like it I’m automatically young, dumb and with a short attention span?
I get all that but you seemed to be implying that the numerical closeness of 8 1/2 and his 9th film was a connection
Your last couple sentences were why I went to the movie. I do believe Q is in touch with a different style of movie making that was prevalent in Hollywood’s heyday. Hopefully others will pick up the torch and lead us away from comic book movies and remakes
Interesting point about QTs romantic point of view of the 60s/70s. I’ll have to check out your review
What’s the connection between 8 1/2 and his 9th film?
I agree it was a plot point that didn’t really mean anything. There’s probably at least a couple of those in the movie. It almost seems like QT has a table covered in index cards each with a different plot point, ie “guy killed his wife” then tries to loosely tie them together
I was actually unaware of some of the cameos but even those felt pointless
I guess it’s another QT movie but in a different setting. Maybe I was foolish for expecting something more but it felt like there were a few 10-15 minute segments where stuff happens but are basically pointless tangents.
Hopefully I’ll read a good essay or review that will change my point of view but overall I’m on the fence
Yeah I’m still chewing on it so to speak but I definitely have my impressions. Maybe I’ll see it differently later.
And that’s a legitimate point about Robbie. It almost seems like she was a red herring because Tate’s presence creates an audience expectation as to where the story is headed. Her scene in the theater stood out to me but other than that I’m not sure
Well I guess I was hoping he would try and grow a little bit more as a director but apparently he is what he is. Maybe I should’ve learned by now
Uh oh
Lmao the truth is these movies suck. First one wasn’t THAT great and the others were not good. Certainly not good enough to judge an entire generation by
Wouldn’t be so sure. If everyone loved it so, we’d have seen a new furiosa movie every year since
