Why, oh why, does he have to move like a frikkin Ninja now? And a CGI one AT THAT!!!!

How is this not posted here yet?
Question should have been "Which character has the better actor, Thor or Loki?"
Would have gotten a different response then.....

I probably shouldn't have posted that video. I did it as a more Abrams says he's listening to the fanboys sort of thing. When there is more to what was wrong with the Prequels than that video. And it's wrong in ways too as taksraven points out. I think fans have a lot to be concerned about going by both Star Trek movies and the design choices, characters, and story. The director has final say on this stuff and Abrams said ok to all of it.
Nah, I think it was really good that you posted that video. It was certainly interesting to watch. It clearly tries to go a long way to perpetuate the myth that *everything* in the original trilogy was good and that *everything* in the prequel trilogy was bad. Both have their strengths and weaknesses of course and it is silly to say otherswise.
What annoys me more than the prequel trilogy is a lot of the tinkering Lucas has done with the re-releases of the original trilogy on DVD and then blu-ray. Of course some stuff is genuine improvement (ie, the final space battle over the skies of the original Death Star) but other stuff is truly questionable (ie, Vaders new "Nooooooooo" as he kills the Emperor.
Of course, even this discussion would be pointless if Lucas made all versions of the films, including the original cinema cuts available, but he doesn't want to do that, which is really stupid when you looke at the seamless branching tech of Blu-ray.

Yes, and it sounds like one of the two Inception pieces, used and reused. I could care less whether it's chronological or not, I know why they chose Murphy's score and that's the point. A played out style is a played out style and like I said, I'm bored with it for every damned trailer.
Seems that Zimmer doesn't like it either. The music from the Inception trailer wasn't used in the film soundtrack. (thank god)

Uh...watching Supernatural.
-b.
Better than watching Charmed. Lol.

I can't even process the rest of your sentence after your mentioning of Kat Dennings...
You've obviously never heard what happens when she opens her mouth. The horror outweighs any other "assets" she has.....
(and besides, there are no "assets" of hers on display in this film anyway")

An interesting attempt to "rationalise" the problems with SW and condense them into a list of just four points, but at the end of the day it's really just a big attack on the prequel trilogy:
"Point 1: SW is not set in cities" If Lucas had the budget to build believable big futuristic cities in the orignal trilogy he would have. Oh wait, he did, Bespin.....
"Point 2: The future is old". Well, the prequel trilogy was set in the past, before the decay and stagnation of the Galactic Empire set in. I think that was a good justification for the difference in the look of the two films......
"Point 3: The Force is mysterious" Possibly the most defendable point of the lot, I have to agree with this one......
Point 4" SW is NOT CUTE". Yeah, because all the cute stuff came from the prequel trilogy. THERE (EWOKS) WAS (EWOKS) NOTHING (EWOKS) CUTE (EWOKS) ABOUT (EWOKS) THE (EWOKS) ORIGINAL (EWOKS) TRILOGY. (DID I MENTION EWOKS?)
Personally, my only suggestion to JJ and the production team would be, focus more on creativity and imagination and if you do have a problem, use the creativity and imagination to work through it, don't just try to pour money on the problem.

Hang on, Kat Dennings is in this film and people want Natalie Portmans character to die??? WTF??
-
Didn't like the sound of a lot of the voicework. Darkseid in particular didn't sound intimidating at all.....

I thought at one time Disney was going to produce a live-action film, only they were going to use the USS Arizona instead of the Yamato.
Correct. I just hope they don't run with the idea of making it the Arizona....

I guess you won't have to worry about Japanese acting soon..,

It's also featured heavily on the composers website. He knows it's a good tune.

Pot kettle black. LOL.
Fight???? C'mon Duke, we don't "fight", I think that this is more like what we do.........

It's just a trailer. You'll live.
Translation. "I've just shat all over something you happen to like. I'm unrepentant and don't care. You'll live."

. I can always count on this site to crap on everything.

Quoted for truth.

The music does get used a heck of a lot here and there, but I like it so I don't care......

Fret not, I'm sure Disney will do as good a promotional job as they brought to bare with John Carter.
Yeah, promotion of SW is done really well. I present to you, Jabba the Hutt, the Christmas Tree decoration. Everybody should have one.......
And then you've got other wonderful stuff like this........
-
Of course, the GREATEST KING ARTHUR FILM EVAR has already been made.......!!!!!
-
Blah. Started off well but as soon as the subtlety went, so did I.........
-
Yeah, great stuff.......
Seriously though, not trying to be disrespectful. A lot of the Filmation stuff was produced, of course, when most television productions, animated or otherwise, were produced on shoestring budgets. The people making the product were well aware of the fact that it wasn't too great, but it was simply the best they could do with the money they had and the resources at their disposal.
Personally, I think that this was some of their best stuff........

FINALLY!!! Not much, but better than nothing.
Got my tix to go and see this in the cinema. Can't wait!!
