Not unpopular at all! The MCU has thrived and gotten much, much better since Disney took over, with enough money to experiment and try new things (superhero heist movie? Come on, who woulda thought about that before?!) And Star Wars...well, it's star wars, but GOOD star wars! Watched it againt his week and it made me smile the whole way through. Now that I've gotten over my "It's good but not #1 of allt ime good" mental road block, I came to properly enjoy it for what it was. Add to that the amazing looking Rogue One trailer and the ongoing, continued "Star Wars Extended Cinematic Universe", and...well, damn man. I am really happy to be a cinephile in the modern world! Also, The reviews for Jungle Book have been outstanding. Where have you guys all been? i've been reading about, watching trailers for, and anticipating this movie since like, last Summer. |
*spoilers for those who haven't seen the new Star Wars movies*
Are you kidding with Star Wars? Disney is wondeful for animation but Star Wars? I don't care how unpopular this opinion is, but they took Star Wars and fucked it sideways. You don't take a franchise like that and "PC it up" for the sake of expanding demographics which is what they did. I don't want to hear it was an "artistic design". Let's be honest, the two demograpics that never cared for Star Wars on the whole were women and african americans. And wouldn't you know? As soon as Disney's suits gets the franchise, they're like "now how can we sell even MORE plastic light sabers... hmm... well, what if we put a female and black lead in the movie? DEMOGRAPICS!!!!"
And lets not EVEN get into the whole untrained, 20 year old female taking down a fucking SITH... without any training... at all. That right there was worse than ANYTHING Lucas did in the prequels... anything. My fiance and I watched it and at the end of the movie, she was like... "I don't get it. It took Luke three movies to take down Vader, getting his assed handed to him and yet this girl almost masters the force without trying". And she's not even into Star Wars that much lol.
The whole thing was a mess.
