At least LOTR is consistent Well, if Hobbit counts as part of the franchise LotR's score drops from 100% down to about 50% in terms of good/bad film ratio. And then we get into the thornier issue of whether or not the Rankin-Bass films and the Ralph Bakshi film count as part of the franchise. And let's be honest, the upcoming Amazon "prequel" series is almost certainly going to suck. So in that sense, LotR's pretty on-part with Star Wars. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ... Copied to Clipboard!

idk, other than the Finn-Rose side-quest, Episode VIII was at least tolerable Pretty much everything involving Poe was shit as well. The Luke stuff, while entirely workable with a better writer/script, was handled poorly, which kind of weakens both it and the Rey/Kylo stuff. And Snoke was basically casually thrown away on a whim, which pretty much ruins him as a character and everything he's involved with. VIII as a whole is so bad, it both retroactively makes VII worse, as well as making it impossible for IX to be anything other than terrible. That wasn't entirely Rion Johnson's fault, but he's the metaphorical equivalent of standing over a body with a bloody knife in your hand and a guilty look on your face, with the body being the entire Star Wars franchise. --- "Wall of Text'D!" --- oldskoolplayr76 "POwned again." --- blight family ...

Idk how to feel about this topic.
Before the most recent trilogy, I would defend SW adamantly. But after the trilogy, I kinda want to concede. BUT... The Mandalorian has done an amazing job at breathing life to a franchise that died in my heart with that second movie in the new Disney SW trilogy. See? It sucked so much I dont even care to remember the names of them. --- I'm actually really enjoying GodFall. ... Copied to Clipboard!

I think time travel can make something fun if it previously wasn't, but can also ruin things just as easily if it actually was good before (a certain famous ABC show from the 2000s for example). I only even gave Azkaban a 7/10; I just care so little for the HP franchise. --- Bells, bells, bells! ... Copied to Clipboard!

The prequels are bad, but the sequels are painful at times.Episode VII is fine. Episode VIII is good, though not great. Episode IX is a dumpster fire. And yet, all three still manage to be better than Episodes II and III, mostly because it would be difficult for them to be any worse. Episode I more or less wins the best prequel award by default and even then the only sequel it manages to surpass in quality is Episode IX. At least the sequels had competent directors. Episode IX aside, at least they had internally consistent plots. At least they had a script editor on staff, knew what a second take was, and had special effects that didn't look like a slightly-better-than-average PS2 game. That's all more than I can say for any of the prequels. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer. Kill 10 men: You are a monster. Kill 100 men: You are a hero. Kill 10,000 men, you are a conqueror! ...

They wern't masterpieces and I thought the second one was kinda flat but I still liked the first one.I thought the second one was solid, but the first and third were just tediously dull. Like... I had no reason to care about any of these characters other than Bilbo. The dwarves, aside from Thorin Asshole, may as well have been faceless extras. You can basically divide them into the old wise one, the one who wants to bang an elf, and the rest and I've literally just described all the characterization the movies give them. Also, it is completely ridiculous that the visual effects of The Hobbit movies look so much worse than the LotR movies, despite being released a full decade later. --- Kill 1 man: You are a murderer.

I think adding some of the side material to the Hobbit movie in order to flesh it out and give us another side of the story was a good idea.
Three movies was overkill, though, and too many scenes were played up past the point of ridiculousness --- PSN/Steam ID: Metalsonic_69 Big bombs go kabang. ... Copied to Clipboard!
