To the point where they harassed Kelly Marie Tran right off of social media. And then Disney and JJ Abrams rewards them by essentially making her a background character in TROS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

totes4totes Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Another issue is with the Rise of Skywalker is that they tried to walk back everything that Rian Johnson did with The Last Jedi that was good. Making Rey a nobody? A great choice that shows that those powerful in the force don't have to come from a powerful bloodline. Having Ben Solo progress past being Kylo Ren and his obsession with his grandfather by smashing the helmet? Great choice! Like it felt like the movies were finally going to move on to more interesting things than the first movie which was good but as Elliott said an essential retread of A New Hope. And then they decided they hated all those bold decisions and again, trying to be as inoffensive as possible with anything rubber banded back to all these plots that were already done in the original trilogy. I mean, one reason why Rogue One was so exciting is that it wasn't afraid to actually literally kill everybody off. By the end of the movie none of those people were alive. The Rise of Skywalker was like "gotta bring back Han Solo even though we killed him." Don't actually have the balls to kill Chewbacca. Can't even kill Keri Russell. A character we introduced for this film only to give Poe a heterosexual love interest. The stakes were non-existent. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1234567890 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Alien: Covenant Is this my turn against the horror genre? Maybe so. That and I really just don't like this film. I only like Alien and Aliens in the Alien franchise and all the other films can rot. Alien: Covenant is a 2017 science fiction horror film directed and produced by Ridley Scott and written by John Logan and Dante Harper. It was inspired by a story from Michael Green and Jack Paglen. It's a joint American and British productions. Look at them working together. I love the Brits. The film is a sequel to Prometheus which was released in 2012. and is the the second installment in the Alien prequel series and the sixth installment in the Alien franchise overall. The films stars Michael Fassbender, Katherine Waterston, Billy Crudup, Danny McBride and Demián Bichir. The film follows this crew of a colony ship that lands on an unknown planet and they make a terrifying discovery to say the least. Michael Fassbender returned to the series as David. The film was distributed by 20th Century Fox. The film reviewed favorable reviews with a 66% score on RT but underperformed at the box office. The film doesn't have Ellen Ripley so it can go so that Power Rangers can live. Save: Power Rangers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
