Off Topic Rogue One - A Star Wars Story

We were talking about a specific film. I never suggested in any way, shape or form that I don't think some people think it's "cool" to have an alternate opinion.

 

You really are an odd one. Desperate to argue about anything and everything.

 

Go back and see who first challenged about TPA not having any 5 star reviews.

That was before you realised a) you were too young at the time to remember, b) lived at the other side of the world, c) the internet wasn't very prevalent then and d) you found some 5 star reviews yourself anyway.

 

Oh dear, did I contribute to the discussion on the topic of the thread? How silly of me.

 

You accused me or arguing and I simply pointed out that you started it. I didn't criticise anyone for discussing the topic of the thread.

 

Stop being pathetic. I'm criticising you for arguing over the notion of it being cool to be contrary. Which you should know all about, you adore being contrary.

Just drop it. For once.

 

But I agree with you, some people do think it's cool to be contrary. I never said anything different at any stage and I have no idea why you think I did.

Also, it's easy to reply to someone and say 'drop it' without, you know, dropping it yourself.

 

Captain Scarlet.

 

Since the days of the Internet . . . . since the general public have had a voice and public opinion NO !!! categorically NO .
I use meta scores , read users reviews but professional reviews are often skewed , biased and meaningless - especially when in almost every case the reviewer is doing this on a trial item or a free book / ticket / play etc etc . Mark Kermode i trust as his opinions are similar to mine , but its never an opinion i take as sacrosanct .

Having had vast experience in the reviewing procedures ( i did used to review on websites waaay back ) one massive bugbare on the professional review is that an AVERAGE score isnt 5 its 7 . . . Now this is the clue to the problem with Pro reviews , take time to read a 70% and you will come away feeling underwhelmed and undecided , thats a 50% score . . . go and try it .

Re SW - the thing with the media , they were happy to rate the prequels positively (fair enough) but fast forward ten years and they tried to tell us that altho the prequels were discredited in the beginning , they are today looked on more favourably .
My source there is Mr Plinkett (youtube him ) - you should know this fella , he showed many examples . Basically the reviewing media claimed the media AND the public changed its opinion on these movies . . . when infact the media never did , they just made up positive vibe in 2014/15

a lot of word waffle on a football day i know

 

Finally got round to watching this last night, as I wanted to wait until it got quiet as I can't be done with watching films flanked left, right and centre by ****s.

Anyway, Jesus H how much have people overexagerated this? Even more than TFA. The first 45 mins we're truly awful and at that point it was on course to be worse even than AotC. It did get very good after the action moved to Scarif and the Vadar part when boarding the ship is up there with the very best moments of the entire story, but it's still only enough to make it an average film overall.

6 out of 10.

 

Everyone has their interpretation I guess.

 

people are always entitled to their opinion . . . . . even if its completely wrong

 

I thought Rogue 1 was completely different to any other Star Wars movie. It was much darker, if I had to say how good it was, I'd put it up there with the originals.
For me, I can only imagine the way I felt when I left, being similar to how people left the original Star Wars!
I thought it was brilliant, just in case it wasn't obvious.

 

Just a point but if you scroll back to the time I posted on here how overrated TFA was at the time during mass hysteria about it being one of the best films ever. And then 12 months later...

 

im not bothered enough , it was just a playful observation . .

 

Not entirely sure anyone said it was one of the best films ever - unless you mean best Star Wars films ever, in which case it certainly is.

 

Oh so you heard the views of all the people I know in the world? And all the way from the antipodes? Wow you really do get around.

 

stop monkeying around OLM
