I'm not impressed about this. Adam Sandler used to be a comical genius and now he's only appealing to kids. He needs to go back to doing R rated films and completely ignore the fact that "That's My Boy" was a terrible and unfunny movie. His last good movie in my opinion was "You Don't Mess With The Zohan" That movie was absolutely hilarious and I was laughing my ass off all the way through. "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry" was funny and underrated. "Grown Up's 2" have me a few laughs but it wasn't the best, David Spade Chris Rock is who made it funny.... Adam Sandler did not.

His most well received films are "Happy Gillmor", "Billy Madison" and "The Wedding Singer" in terms of critics, and both of those films are classics. "The Water Boy" was very well liked by a lot of movie goes as was the more serious "50 First Dates".

Personally my favorites were "Big Daddy" and "Little Nicky". Both of these films seemed to be quite well received in the comedy crowd and I recall them doing quite well when they came out. They didn't get high reviews, but they were well liked by your comedy viewers. They are also probably two of his funniest and most creative films he's ever done.

I actually also like the Star Wars prequels XD I find the more and more ridiculous people get about those movies (people get so passionate with their hate for them that it's borderline insane) that I like them even more. They aren't the best movies ever made but they certainly aren't even close to the worst. I saw them in the order of 4, 6, 1, 5 and then saw 2 and 3 in the movies. The only one I wasn't a fan of was 2 which was too politics heavy (It'd make more sense now, but as a kid I hated how much politcal talk there was in that movie. Maybe it's because I saw them all within a short span that I find them all good but idk I've never really got the detest people have for those movies

Opposite for me. The fight in Episode 3 felt overly choreographed, giving a sense of watching a ballet rather than a fight. It also suffered from being bloated in addition to no emotional investment because I never bought Annakin and Obi-Wan as friends.

Compared to Luke's two fights with Vader that have great narrative drive with the fight teaching you about the characters and feel genuine. Luke laying into Vader and cutting his arm off is far more visceral than flipping and spinning around around stuff that premeated the prequels.  The low point being seeing the great philosopher and master Yoda degraded to jumping around completely missing the point of the whole character.

Battles are meant to drive stories and characters, devoid of emotion and context they feel sterile and bore me.  To me the prequel battles feel like intended for 6 year olds while the old ones feel mature and nuanced in their construction and execution.  I'll never forget Vader toying with Luke with the lighting and mood and then hammering him with the revelation that changed the whole series.  That makes Empire not just a great Star Wars film, but an honest great work in film making.  

I don't think that Adam Sandler was ever a comical genius.  If you would make a legit list of 100 greatest stand up comedians of all time Adam Sandler wouldn't even be close to that list.  As a matter of fact half the comedians performing on last nights episode of The Last Comic standing are probably bigger comical geniuses then Adam Sandlers and most of those comics are relatively unknown.  "You Don't Mess With The Zohan" wasn't really that funny the last good Adam Sandler movie for me was "I Now Pronounce You Chuck and Larry"

As a kid I was a Star Wars nut and watched the original 3 dozens of times.  I truly loved the world and the characters.  So, when Episode 1 came out it was my most anticipated film of all time and only film I ever waited in line first day to see.  Watching it as a kid was crushing as I realized I wasn't enjoying it, I was bored or annoyed or confused.  The new stuff didn't appeal to me, and the use of old stuff made no sense.  The whole story felt ill concieved being both complex and yet uninteresting.  An empire versus a rebellion is easy, but trade disputes and parliamentary procedure?

Basically when you have emotional investment in something it brings out strong emotions. I loved Yoda as a kid, he was goofy and unexpected at first and then wise with words that really stuck with me.  He had a presence despite his small stature.  In the prequels he is reduced to just another guy with a light sabre who is often confused.  What happened to "luminous beings" and the sense of wonder he instilled? Now just some little green guy that sits in some sky skraper in a big city.

Maybe it is my own fault. I had this whole image of the Jedi Knights and how they'd be like Shoalin Monks crossed with Samurai Warriors.  Here we see them as beuracrats and soldiers for a republic, indifferent to slavery, but concerned with maintaining trade and the union.  They had no nobility like Obi-Wan the elder gave off, instead have a petulent brat in Annakin moping around complaing about Obi-Wan despite being "good friends" apparently.

The prequels respresent the cold truth that Star Wars ceased to be about art of film making and more about marketing and selling merchandise cashing in on poor fools like me nostalgia.  Lucas showed no passion in these projects and that comes across in the acting and story, there is no heart or connection to what is happening.   I am convinced that if Episode 1 came out first with no history of Star Wars attached to it, then it'd join something like Last Airbender as this odd mess of a big budget film with terrible acting and cinematography.

Sandler suffers from same weakness many SNL alums do, his gimick wear off and gets old.  He had a few amusing films in the 90s, but then was tired of it.  His more dramatic attempts showed promise, but too easy to make money cranking out junk with friends and product placement.  Snadler knows how the industry works and how to make millions, but he doesn't know how to make good movies.

The problem with the prequels is they definitely have a different feeling from the originals. It's almost FF levels of differenciation. But yeah idk I think the people who grew up with the originals then the prequels will have a different attachment compared to people who saw them all at once. Hell I know people who've only seen the prequels and love them and I dont blame them, theyre enjoyable XD I think as time passes and the people who are nostalgic for the originals start thinning off, the hate for the prequels will cease and they'll be seen as mediocre vs being absolutely hated

I seen district 9 and edge of tomorrow, great movies :) I actually watched episode 6 first, then 5, then 4 then the prequels. idk wich is my least fave star wars movie but i enjoy them all :) alot, i also love the indiana jones movies, 3rd one being my fave :)
