Heck, they did the same thing with the Fellowship in the first LOTR wave, and the dwarves in the first few hobbit movies. So, it's to be expected. But, overall I am happy with these sets. I was a little disappointed in this years winter and summer waves, so these make up for it in my opinion. Of course, that's before i've seen the movie, and really get to know the characters but overall the sets seem well thought out. I also like how there is only 1 set that has any link to the OT. To me, this wave beats last years Force Awakens Force Friday wave. Can't wait to see what they cook up for the winter battle packs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the words of the Hitchhiker's Guide...Don't Panic! http://www.ew.com/article/2016/06/03/rogue-one-reshoots This makes sense. They simply don't have time to reshoot a significant percentage of the movie without moving the release date. If they move the release date then you know there is a significant problem. Like the article said, TFA had reshoots as well and that turned out just fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sauromosis Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 I don't know what to believe. Edwards' Godzilla wasn't a great film, but this article you shared seems to indicate that Disney is making Rogue One less dark and more kid friendly. Prequels almost always suck because they are shoehorned into a previous timeline and we know what happens afterwards. In fact, has there ever been a great prequel movie?

I liked Temple of Doom myself, which was set before Raiders. Revenge of the Sith is often ranked/rated higher than Return of the Jedi. The Hobbit movies weren't bad in general though there were some scenes that needed reworking. Desolation of Smaug was solid. Half of the Godfather Part 2 is a prequel and it's rated pretty high. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were some disappointing moments for me from this movie but I always find the Alien universe so intriguing. I am excited to see what they do with Alien: Covenant next year. Fassbender's character was solid and I'm glad to see him back. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a big LOTR/Hobbit fan I couldn't even sit through the BOTFA for a second viewing. There were some incredible moments throughout the three films but by the third one it felt stretched really thin and some of the scenes were very cringe-worthy.

It's my least favourite as well, but only because I really loved the other 2. It was more true to the spirit and tone of Raiders than Last Crusade, which was much more family friendly and jokey. No melting faces or burning hearts in that one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more of a joke hence the Time travel movies are best not to be looked at closely. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauromosis Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 Before Prometheus came out, I thought it was going to be one of the best movies ever. I got an opening night ticket in IMAX 3-D. It was not one of the best movies ever...the characters act insanely and the plot jumps around as if two movies were merged together. I know they brought in that hack from "Lost" Lindelof who rewrote parts of the script, bringing in christian themes and such, and I think they just made it too quickly. The visuals are awesome. The story is a mess. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted June 6, 2016 Share Posted June 6, 2016 (edited) This is relevant to the discussion, and interesting for suggesting Temple of Doom is the best prequel ever made. Funny how he nixed my Godfather idea. Batman Begins is debatable. http://www.aintitcool.com/node/67383 Edited June 6, 2016 by jeff_14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The story is a mess. It's grown on me. The doofs in the crew really grated on me during the first viewing. The backstory and visuals really make it much more watchable after a 2nd or 3rd viewing. I have friends who watch stuff in quantity and don't rewatch stuff. I really think they are missing out. I just finished watching "Game of Thrones" season 1 and I'm continuing on into season 2 again and the reintroduction of characters in S6 are much more fresh to me now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were right. The timeline in the Terminator world is so screwed up any of sequels could be considered a prequel. They need to kill that franchise. It's too screwed up to save. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
