Laurens said:I think the difference is with the original trilogy people weren't afraid to tell George Lucas to shove his shit ideas, whereas with the prequels he was aloud to spout out shit from every angle, fake cartoony CGI shit, without anyone stopping him.
oh and I've heard their making remake for old episodes.
I feel the same way.Doc. said:what I hated most about the new star wars episodes was Anakin, I could not stand him,not only the character, but actor too, that pretty and cocky boy and his stupid romance with Padme.
Episode I was not that bad though, II and III were a complete disaster, completely tasteless.
tangoen said:oh crap here i am to defend. Terminator was so different from T2 it's hard to compare. terminator was more of a horror movie and t2 was clearly an action movie i honestly think it just depend on which type of story you like more. As for the fool who thinks aliens was a better movie you are just plain wrong. yes the same arguement i made for terminator applies here. The first was more of a horror movie than the second but it's just silly in comparison, the acid blood only applies when convenient and for the aliens in it it might as well been the spiders from starship troopers the way they are killing them so easly in the second movie took all the fright away and replaced it with crappy Bill Paxton humor. sigh i forgot good is all perspective just depends who you are
sequels i think pass the test
Hellboy 2, Waynes World 2 , Die hard 2 and the second batman movie both batman returns and dark knight
Gnug215 said:But yes, it is about perspective. I really detest horror movies, because all they really do is dim the lights, put on scary music, and then drag out the inevitable scare that we all know is coming, but can't help but react to anyway because of physical reflexes. That doesn't speak to my intellect at all, but my lower instincts.
That said, T2 and Aliens aren't 'intellectual' movies as such for that reason... but they appeal to something else.

Everyone is entilted to their opinion but detest horror movies really? i completely understand not enjoying the crappy shocker movie that just throw single frame images with a loud noise at you. they are just hoaky to me too. but i really think that horror movies always got a bad rap being thrown in with the cheap slasher movies. good horror movies still have interesting story plots and are not always unintellegent. good examples are nosferatu, night of the living dead, frankenstein, god told me to, the shining, the thing, Invasion of the body snatchers, Dagon, the last man on earth, nightmare on elm st. There has to be at least one thats alright
Gnug215 said:Take The Shining... scary, sure. Good atmosphere. Good cinematography. Good acting (from Jack, at least). But what was the point of it? To me, many movies don't have points other than to be entertaining, and being frightened isn't really entertaining. It's not that I mind so much, but once I started to see the tricks and mechanisms used to scare me, it occurred to be simplistic, really.
I haven't seen all of the above mentioned movies, but the ones I have seen don't really mean anything to me at all.
Hmm. The only not-bad origin story I can think of is "The Hobbit", and even then he was wise enough to keep origins of gandalf, sauron, etc. as not stand-alone novels.Finger said:Origin stories don't always work as stand-alone narratives.
Ozymandyus said:Army of Darkness
Last Crusade
Return of the King
Empire Strikes Back
The Dark Knight
Terminator 2
Aliens
Gremlins 2
Hmm there are quite a few more but those are the first that came to mind.
