Surely you understand that saying things like that in a non-spoiler thread is bad form.

If we absolutely had to get a Boba Fett movie, George Miller would be perfect.

Why did I read that as Greg Miller? LOL
You say this like it's impossible.
He's seriously the worst with no redeeming factors.Don't get the Fetta love I mean dude fell into the Sarlacc 3 fucking times.

I was waiting for someone to bring this up. I have the same prediction for all metacritic/rotten tomatoes stuff.Are you staying with your high 60's prediction?
Episode II got 66%.One guy was really confident it'd be at 56% lol
Episode II got 66%.
I am pretty sure it was not going to get lower than that.
Was expecting 80% myself, but hey at least it won't suck.

It's my silly joke.
I think the rerelease bumped down the scores. I remember it being much higher (70%) years ago.I cant believe episode 2 is 11 points higher than episode 1
Yeah. Sure. Kinda.You silly!
Are you at least a little hyped?
I think Episode 1 used to be higher until the 3D re-release happened and there were reviews from that added.I cant believe episode 2 is 11 points higher than episode 1

Some twat handle posted a spoiler in a youtube comment section the other day but i obviously didn't know if it was genuine or not. Then today my brother got spoiled, we were just talking about it and both comments said the same thing.
So, thats the ending ruined. People are such bad dickheads.
Me either. Then again I am not the biggest Star Wars follower. So maybe I am missing something.
Always seemed like Fett's appeal was the costume and the mystery. Fleshing him out eliminates(eliminated) that mystery and the speculative fun.
Not everything should be given a weighty back story and humanizing character arc IMO, Fett is a good example of the unnecessariness of it.
Sorry, it was speculative, but accidental. I spoiler tagged it.
For some people, sure.There sure is a lot of hand wringing for a movie over 90%. Are people forgetting just how long it's been since a fun star wars movie came out? Or did some of you expect perfection on an Empire level?
The negative of being too much like Star Wars is the best negative we could get.
For some people, sure.
For some people, sure.
Never was looking for perfection.Think of the possible flaws. The ones we got from the last 3 Star Wars movie. Wooden acting. Terrible directing. Annoying characters. Too much CG. Those are the things that would have ruined it for me.
Perfection is hard to achieve. Give me the "too much like Star Wars" complaint any day of the week over the other possible from the list.
Never was looking for perfection.
Also, those complaints are on the same level as "too much like Star Wars". In this context at least.

I wonder what George Lucas thinks of this movie

To make this short, I'll just say retreading similar plot beats and moments isn't very exciting to me.You'll have to tell me how.
The acting in the prequels was beyond horrible. The special effects and special editions were often beyond bad and distracting to the point of sucking you out of the film. There were characters so grating and annoying, characters we were "supposed" to like, that giant chunks of the films were dedicated to brought the whole experience down. The direction was lifeless and lacking in soul, wit, or energy to any degree.
But "too much like Star Wars" is a very POSITIVE complaint, if you'll pardon the contradiction.
Too much like one of the most original, joyous, exciting, inventive, charming, adventurous, dynamic, chemistry-driven, genre-defining, culture-defining, cinema-defining experiences of all time?
... I'll take that over every single aspect of the prequel trilogy, from Jar Jar to midichlorians to love stories about sand.
"The fans will love it. It's just the kind of movie they wanted."
(Paraphrasing but that's mainly it)
Well, you do realize that Star Wars itself was actually just a repackaging of stuff George Lucas grew up liking, right? It's just retreading things like Flash Gordon, Buck Rogers, and Kurasama movies, often shot for shot or beat for beat.To make this short, I'll just say retreading similar plot beats and moments isn't very exciting to me.
I like different, strange and unpredictable.
Minor spoilers for their role.Saw a review that said The Raid actors are waisted in this tho

Repackaging can be fine but not retreading. If you get what I'm saying.So, internally:
"What's wrong with this film? It needs more CG! Why is the camera moving so much? Why aren't there more people sitting down on couches and talking?"

Anyone familiar with those works would have found Star Wars fairly predictable.
Something we can agree on.I am much more looking forward to a Boba Fett movie than Han Solo. Just because we have plenty of Solo's story already. But Rogue One appeals to me the most.
A New Hope is a retread of Flash Gordon. A lot is taken directly from Flahs Gordon serials. This situation is no differentRepackaging can be fine but not retreading. If you get what I'm saying.
If you do lets just leave it at that.

There's a difference between a minimilist plot and a not very good oneToo many people care about plot. Fury Road barely had one. What's the point of a great plot if you don't care about who it's happening to?
Character > plot always.
Star Wars has a great minimalist plot. Why do you think they retreaded it here?There's a difference between a minimilist plot and a not very good one
I've not seen the film yet I'm just assuming the repetition is what some people are complaining about rather than the nature of the plotStar Wars has a great minimalist plot. Why do you think they retreaded it here?
