Spider-Man: No Way Home (Jon Watts, December 17, 2021) Movie • Page 48

Yes. Say it with your chest

 

I would say some stuff could match up… but TROS is awful in a whole different way when viewed in its context. It fails not only as a movie on its own but as the end of the new trilogy and the end of the Skywalker saga. It’s not just another Star Wars movie like much of the MCU is. You probably hated Endgame, but most people would agree that they pulled it off and had a great end to all the movies leading to it. Where TROS completely shit the bed.

 

I’d rank The Dark World with Rise of Skywalker. A film I watched once in the cinema and will never have interest in watching again.

Rise of Skywalker was more disappointing, however, due to what it could have been.

 

Am I the only one who liked The Dark World more than the first Thor movie?

It's been long enough where I can't exactly remember why, but I just remember having a better time

 

Rise of Skywalker was edited by someone with a mountain of cocaine and you’ll never change my mind.

 

I liked Dark World just as much as I liked the first Thor movie.

They're both watchable, but I'll never go out of my way to see them again and in retrospect, the only important things they did for the MCU is introduce Thor and Loki and establish their relationship. Everything else is kind of fluff.

And as I've already said previously, what they did to Christopher Eccleston is a crime.

 

endgame is one of the best of the franchise lol, weird thing to assume

 

do you think film editors are monks or something? i’d imagine a fair share of them have mountains of cocaine. especially edgar wright’s

 

Rise of Skywalker is the only movie I can think of that actively pissed me off to watch. It's so bad that it retroactively makes the entire sequel trilogy useless, I would never recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen Star Wars anymore

 

You can only edit the footage you have. Rise of Skywalker being dogshit has everything to do with every step taken before editing, JJ deserves the most blame. That being said most MCU is barely better, they’re just good at being at least coherent and likable to most people, hence the RT scores.

 

TROS is way more frustrating to me than any MCU film, I had such high hopes for it.

 

I’m still in disbelief how TROS ended the Skywalker saga and it’s been 2 years

 

The streak of Guardians 2, Thor: Ragnarok, Last Jedi, and Black Panther was the most optimistic I’ve ever been about the potential for Disney blockbusters.

Then, the streak of Solo, Far From Home (technically Sony, but I count it for Marvel Studios reasons), Rise of Skywalker, and Mulan (which I shouldn’t have been optimistic about, lol, but it looked fun to me) totally broke that illusion.

(I did for whatever reason really like Cruella, though, lol. Emma Stone’s performance and the shallow corporate version of a rebellious aesthetic just hit right for me. Very much so my kinda trash.)

 

You seem to hate most of this stuff.

 

Lol no I just think they’re better at hiding it so their films don’t have the pacing of a teenager who forgot his Ritalin at home.

 

i do not. i was quite positive about shang chi, like, three months ago

 

guardians 2 is one of the worst movies i’ve ever seen though

but to be fair, yes, rise of skywalker is most disappointing of the bunch bc of anticipation

 

I get not everyone loving it as much as I do, but at this point I’m convinced your outsized hate is a bit, lol.

 

i wish it was a bit

this is the only website where i’ve seen anyone be remotely positive about it

 

This guy liked it.

 

why bother photoshopping a strangers letterboxd? y’all are so weird.

 

I like Guardians 2 more than 1. Guardians 2 has great character development, probably amongst the best character development in a single MCU film.

 

!!!!!!!

 

I also prefer GOTG2 over the first
