As easy to like as Neeson is, the film would have benefitted from making Kenobi the main character and giving him agency. It's quite apparent that the Jedi duo were more or less one character split in half, and ultimately the lion's share went to the character who dies and not the one who moved...
Yeah there is a lot of 'book accurate' criticism that feels disingenuous when you consider how much would have to be invented no matter how faithful you were to the lore. The second age isn't a narrative, it's a fairly brief historical document. A list of 100 Numenorian kings doesn't translate...
Yeah, considering the ridiculous money that has been spent, it's a shame that this show is so handicapped from the ground level. No matter how good the show could be, there will always be a sense of missed opportunity for me, knowing certain things have been altered not for a better story but...
It's just the business for me. This generation has been very underwhelming. More greed, more delays and less quality. I love this franchise. Loved part 2, played it several times. ND have brought the negativity on themselves with this release. The game could have been an easy win at a lower...
Blows my mind. Buy what you want, spend as much as you're comfortable with to make you happy...
... but this is totally a cash grab. It is sold for more than either previous release of the same game. It is 'built from the ground up' insofar as it has been made in the TLOU2 engine, a game that...
I get a headache trying to picture how this show is being assembled with only partial rights to the time period, but I quite enjoyed both episodes so far. There is certainly effort being put in to this.
Honestly surprised the hate brigade has continued so strongly after launch. There's been a...
haha, yes. I like Predator 2 as well, but it is flawed, and has had a mixed reception from day one. The first is still well regarded by most, it's nothing to do with age.
Millenials can be 40 years old these days. It's probably past the time to complain about those damn kids on your lawn.
Neca TLOU was one of my most desired things a few years ago. They look so lame though. Low effort, worst choices for the characters. Can't pay the inflated price for these.
Early word on Prey seems positive. Shame to not at least see the new Predator from that show up. I'd be tempted by an Amber Midthunter too. I echo the Neca disappointments. Can't blame them for following the money but they seem to stray further and further away from licenses that interest me.
I wouldn't say critics are often wrong. Rotten Tomatoes for instance, being an aggregate of general approval, is a fairly solid indicator of whether you'll like a film. It isn't a flawless system and high approval can simply mean everyone thought it was good enough, but there aren't many...
It's really not though. Both of these films were well reviewed. Very high production value, great practical and digital effects. Directors that know how to get good performances out their solid cast. The Disney era corrected some of the key complaints aired about the prequels, namely how...
