Is 'Episode 2' gonna suck? (1 Viewer)

[Terrell]

No! But somehow I saw this and knew immediately this thread had to be started by Paul. Sorry Paul! I couldn't resist.

Thus, we get a film like Episode 1, built so that there could be Taco Bell cups, KFC toys, video games, and action figures.

Oh, you mean like FOTR's Burger King cups, and toys and videogames. And like Spiderman's and Batman's videogames and toys. Or like every other event film who has huge marketing tie-ins.

Besides, I hope they do make cuptoppers for this movie. Those were great. Can you imagine a Jango cuptopper? Or, perhaps, Christopher Lee's big head on a large Taco Bell coke?

 

[Paul Jenkins]

no - Star Wars movies don't suck, period.

Now that's one collectable I'd be up for collecting!

 

[Jeffrey Forner]

No.
I'd tell you why it won't suck, but I'd have to spoil one of the best parts of the movie for you!

Folks,
No, it won't suck. I expect it to be rather good, but I am skeptical of any "guarantees" from J Fo. As a Fett-skeptic (let's face it, he's no badass in ESB/ROJ...he's an huge ass-bag), I have little faith in his father either. But Ewan and Christopher Lee look incredible, George got some feedback (good enough), and the expectations (on my end) are a bit more reasonable. Looks like a good movie, but I am hoping for a great one. Stranger things have happened
Take care,
Chuck
Miss me??

No, with all of the events that are being talked about taking place in this film, I am optimistic that there will be something that most Star Wars fans will appreciate.

No. Say what you will about Jar Jar, N'Sync, bad CGI, etc. -- I guarantee you that I will go see this movie, not overanalyze it, and enjoy it.

I thik it will be betetr than Ep1 to tell the truth but the trailers have been a tad disappointing so far.

 

[Joe D]

I just got back from seeing LOTR tonight for the 2nd time, and I saw the Forbidden Love trailer from Ep. 2 for the first time.

I couldn't believe it. The romance scenes were horrible in it. Poor directing alert. It also sounds like Ani is a whiny power hungry bitch.

The rest of the scenes looked great though.

So my prediction is that any lines of dialouge spoken in the film will suck. But the action scenes will be great. So basically, the same as TPM.

Overall:

No

 

[Steeve Bergeron]

Nope. Reason? Natalie Portman is in it!

 

[Josh_Hill]

AOTC is gonna kick everyones ass!

 

[Larry Sutliff]

Personally, I think it's gonna rock. One reason(among many): Christopher Lee.

 

[Jayson klimek]

yes.....dialog was bad in TFM and is bad in the trailers for the new one. Lucas needs to get in the back seat and let someone else drive.....kids cant act. they will kill a movie.....Portman sounds like shes reading from cards. and Liam needs to lose the mullet. i hope jar jar dies

 

[Josh_Hill]

Wow, thats an amazing post. I think your totally wrong. I find the dialogue fine in TPM, its just as good or perhaps better than Episodes 4-6. The acting is around the same. Jake Lloyd is playing a 9 year old kid who likes to race pods, what do you want? Citizen Kane. And no I dont think Haley Joel Osment (6th Sense) would have been right for Anakin. I think he would have been to serious. It works better if you see him as a happy 9-year old kid and then he turns into Vader, rather than have him as some delinquint.
May I show you a couple of articles that I think you should read:

Donny - Those are great articles. I wasn't aware of the Phantom Heresies and now find myself addicted and reading all of them. Thanks for posting those links!

 

[Josh_Hill]

No problem. Hope you enjoy them, their very good.

 

[mark_d]

No. Because it looks better than TPM and TPM is my SECOND favourite Star Wars movie.

, you mean like FOTR's Burger King cups, and toys and videogames. And like Spiderman's and Batman's videogames and toys. Or like every other event film who has huge marketing tie-ins.

I know I'll always treasure my Kurtz compound playset from the Apocalypse Now Redux release. Or my Memento notepad I got from Burger King. Or my videogame of Fat Girl.

I too think that any film that is built to be marketed for product tie-ins is stunted (though a select few can pull through with their sheer fun) at conception. Call it my punk roots showing through, and I'm not naive enough to think that none of the films I like were altered to make more money, but I at least won't have to deal with 2001 bubble bath formula.
