Never understood why Star Wars is so popular...I don't like any of the star wars movies

Same thing for Star Trek...

Christopher Nolan is a HORRIBLE director...all of his films are littered with things that if you put in your movie you couldn't pass film school...

The more I watch The Dark Knight...the more sad I am that Heath is dead because he CARRIED that entire movie...

Pain and Gain is a cult classic and if anyone else other than Bay directed it virtually everyone would view it as such...

Denzel really DOES play the same guy over and over and over...

BVS was not great but it should get way more credit for trying to be something different...they could have just dropped a cookie cutter movie but they took some chances...failed spectacularly with those changes but took them nevertheless

Primer is probably the single greatest movie of all time when you factor in budget, actors, concept, and story telling...

Scorcese is great at picking talent to work on his films but not a very good director...

Deadpool 1 was successful because it was different...Deadpool 2 will have to stand on its own as a good movie and won't... it will bomb...

Between Snyder and Whedon TJL is DOA...

Skyfall and Spectre are the only James Bond movies I really like and I have seen every single Bond movie at least twice
Dead Pool 2 will not bomb bruh:russ:.

Won't make as much as part 1 maybe, but in no universe will it bomb.

Bomb is not how much money it makes....Bomb is how much a studio expects it to make vs what it makes...

You just said it won't make as much as 1 dead...so that is a bomb...because nobody makes a second movie and expects it to make less than the first one...

Plots are laughably bad....

Jokes are bad...

The acting is bad...

The villains are okay to bad...

If a movie has such a thing as "a person" ( like a bond girl ) it is probably bad...

If the theme song in a movie is such a big deal...like it has become for the bond movies...it's probably bad...

Often times I ask big bond fans to tell me what is so great about the movies and they often never get past "but it's james bond though"...

From Russia with love and casino royale are my two favs and I can tell you many things I love about them.

The characterization of Bond in both is perfect to me. Red grant in from Russia with love is one of the best villains and a very very formidable foe. His relationship with Kerim Bay is awesome and it sucks when bay dies on the train. The action scenes are on point, especially the fight with grant on the train. And it's Connery's best performance as Bond.

Casino Royale has deeper character stuff going on, seeing Bond go through this arc of a hot shot who thinks he has all the answers to being a broken guy who decides to hide his heart because it won't help in this line of work. In fact anything with he and vesper is good shyt. The locales are gorgeous, the script is tight and adapts the book perfectly for a modern context.

Yeah I could go on and on.

Nah dude, a bomb is a movie that severely underperforms. Part 1 over achieved but now everyone is hyped for a sequel so actually it's possible it will out do Part1 but the budget will be much higher. No way it bombs tho, bruh. Inconceivable!

This is a theme of multiple bond movies...so I don't understand why you specifically pointed it out in Casino Royale...

i think fans gush over begins because of what it meant symbolically for the franchise and superhero movies in general. the hardcore fans were CLAMORING for something more grounded and serious and batman begins looked like a dream come true.

but the movie is still terrible imo.
:russ:

I think Begins is great right up until he becomes Batman

Nowhere but down from there

I actually like Luke Skywalker better than Han Solo.
Han Solo was >>>>>>>> Luke in a New Hope and the first act of Empire, but Luke's adventures and character progression from the Battle of Hoth onward :lawd:
Han is still that dude, but keeping it 100 the asteroid chase was the last really :krs: thing he did.

Luke taking down AT-AT's on foot :whoo:
Luke's training with Yoda on Dagobah :ohhh:
The Bespin Duel :lupe: (:ufdup:)
Luke handling the rancor and Jabba's goons on Tatooine :krs:
The speeder-bike chase :win:
The showdown with Palpatine in the throne room and Vader's redemption :blessed:

No it's not. Now maybe you're saying it because he's a spy and obviously will find stuff out but casino royale is a character arc. He starts in one place and ends in another. Most bond movies don't have that arc

The Spy who loved me(the chick was banging, the car boat alone was :gladbron: , the bad guy was delightfully villainous and ostentatious, JAWS, it is one of the quintessential bond fims) and Casino Royale(Never seen bond so mentally and simpishly heartbroken, that alone made it dope,you understand why he is the way he is now, they put his heart through a grinder) are dope movies. Not just dope Bond movies, dope movies in general. After Casino Royale, they could not follow that up and could never create that type of suspense again. Quantum of Solace got better the more I watched it but its boring though. On the 4th watch I finally decided to like it still. Skyfall was strait but Spectre was just a huge let down almost on the level of BvS.
