I hope I didn't miss SW 1 vote
2/10
Ultimatly the movie failed by a handful of reasons. Many I'm sure have been mentioned. I'm a pretty tolerant movie goer. I can like bad movies. I find the ideas, message and story behind the movies to really propel it. Even if the fx and acting are bad. Here is why I don't like PM
The Characters were weak. I really can't express it much more than that. There is no hero that we follow and all the characters are shallow.
The Mystisim. Weak. The Force was some bad ass element of the universe. It was Zen. In PM it's some bizaar form of science. Before it was Mind over Matter. Now it's chemical manipulation over magnetic forces. It's just taken some away.
Theme. Original SW was gritty. This was more like Star Trek.
Jar Jar Binks. Honestly doesn't bother me much. How he was displayed was well done. It's that the role was shoved down are faces. C3PO and R2D2 provided comedic relief by being subtle. But over all doesn't detract from the movie because I'm used to it from Disney movies.
Over all. The Budget. Many of the greatest creations are done with a small budget. SW 4 was created with a small budget. There are interviews that have mentioned that SW 4 was considered a B movie during production. It had a B movie budget. But Lucas and the Director saw past the Budget and attempted new things with what they had. PM had a Massive budget. It was intentionally made to be a big summer movie block buster. Like Jar Jar the position failed because it tried to shove what it was down our throats.
Squilliam: On Vgcharts its a commonly accepted practice to twist the bounds of plausibility in order to support your argument or agenda so I think its pretty cool that this gives me the precedent to say whatever I damn well please.
