Rouge One, is a feature length advertorial for action figures and lunch boxes. Nothing more.
This I don't understand...Why does it need to fit in with all the other films? It is a stupid idea and shows the lack of creativity that has brought 2.5 great films into an orgy of disgrace and shame. FFS Disney, you own all the intellectual property...tell a completely new story in the same "universe" and allow it to be free of all the bull shit hangovers. It isn't like George is going to storm in mid-way through the production and demand Jar-Jar be put back into the picture.
Agree-with......what_hell/yeah?
But what are we..agreeing_ too?
Probably that it was, unarguably, the 5th best animie to come out of the second quarter of 1987.
As far as I understand, it is the story of how the plans for the first Death Star were obtained by the rebellion. I.e. how they found the exhaust vent with diameter of nearly equivalent size to a womp rat.
Really...FFS! He'd be the perfect bloke to direct the Boba Fett movie we all want, instead of all this stinky cheese we're getting.
It got a trial run last night, in place of doing the census. Might need some vinegar thrown into the mix by the sounds of things...
The footage I saw had a bit of an Apocalypse Now/Full Metal Jacket vibe and the wots is that it's still very much Gareth Edwards show so I'm optimistic. The reshoot were happening months ago - it's not a last minute thing.
No doubt they will figure out how to make a series from it too...will the spy turn double agent in the next install and tell the empire the rebels have a base on hoth? Then try to redeem herself by telling the rebels there is a new death star? Maybe she has a love child to Boba Fett along the way too! Oh and she probably needs a film where she tells Vader that he is Luke's father.
Guess it depends whose stories you believe. I read in numerous places that after a rough cut screening of the film, executives felt the movie was 'tonally off' with what a classic Star Wars film should be like. Essentially, it was going to be a 'war film' set in the Star Wars universe. Now they're apparently making it 'more like Force Awakens', whatever that means. More shitter, is how I read that.
The behind the scenes teaser that came out a month ago seemed to be very much still on the war movie trip and I'm hopeful that Disney have taken notes from their other massive money-spinning franchise (Marvel) where individual films in the shared universe are allowed to have their own sense of style.
Oh great another fucking death star film!
Force awakens meets saving private Ryan.
5th best!! what are the other 4??-
