Star Wars discussion (SPOILERS INCLUDED)

Postby **nocera** » Sun May 20, 2018 9:28 pm

So #SoloAStarWarsStory is fun fan service cinema that made me smile a bunch & flap my fanboy fins! Han meeting Chewie is a secret origin scene a lifelong @starwars enthusiast like me never dreamed I’d ever get to see and it was beautiful! Congrats to the Kasdens & @RealRonHoward!

I’m a fan of Kevin Smith, but nobody should ever trust his Star Wars reviews. This dude also once said that Phantom Menace is right there next to Empire.

I really enjoyed his reviews of Rogue One and TLJ, but I don't know if I've ever seen his comments regarding TFA.

The 79% for ROTS is a product of the two movies that came before it.

Why does Solo look like Ray Liotta circa Goodfellas?

Postby **Freddy Rumsen** » Mon May 21, 2018 1:23 pm

That Last Jedi is at 91% is mindboggling.

Agreed. It should be at least 93%.

These ratings are accurate.

I don't really agree with the "ranking" here. I'd definitely put Ep1 above Ep2. And to say TFA and ANH are even is outrageous. Of course, we all know Rotten Tomato scores are nonsense.

Postby **Dickie Dunn** » Mon May 21, 2018 2:00 pm

RT scores aren't nonsense. It's just the percentage of positive reviews.

ANH: 8.6/10
ESB: 8.9/10
ROTJ: 7.2/10
TPM: 6/10
AOTC: 6.7/10
ROTS: 7.3/10
TFA: 8.2/10
RO: 7.5/10
TLJ: 8.1/10
Solo: 6.5/10

Based on average score that would put the series as: ESB, ANH, TFA, TLJ, RO, ROTS, ROTJ, AOTC, Solo, TPM, which is definitely nonsense because the ranking should clearly be RO, ESB, ANH, TLJ, ROTJ, TFA, ROTS, TPM, AOTC, with the assumption that there's zero chance in hell that Solo will be worse than TPM or AOTC.

Also, Freddy's opinions on TLJ remain as terrible as MR's opinions on Ryan Reaves.

I know what RT scores are. Judging movies based off of RT scores is nonsense.

That's not what is happening, though.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I'm shocked Rogue One wasn't higher. That one was probably my third favorite behind Empire and ANH.

Postby **tifosi77** » Mon May 21, 2018 2:51 pm

They're essentially the same movie, so....

Postby **tifosi77** » Mon May 21, 2018 2:53 pm

It is my outright #1.

RO
ESB
TLJ
TFA/ANH
ROTJ

And then the three that shall not be named in whatever order suits your mood. I'm going in with the expectation that Solo will be in the VII/VI - VI range.

I don't think Freddy judged the movie based on the number.

Postby **tifosi77** » Mon May 21, 2018 3:01 pm

By all outward appearances, Freddy seems to have actually seen Star Trek VIII, not Star Wars VIII.

Postby **Lemon Berry Lobster** » Mon May 21, 2018 3:10 pm

I'm surprised Freddy is even allowed to like Star Wars...

Postby **NAN** » Mon May 21, 2018 3:11 pm

I'm not a big TLJ fan. It was good, don't get me wrong. Probably somewhere in the ROTJ realm for me. Middle of the pack.

Postby **Spangler** » Mon May 21, 2018 3:40 pm

TLJ was an absolute mess of a movie.
