Seems that all JJ knows how to do is copy what others have done when he walks into a franchise. Chris Terrio co-wrote it. bentbryan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theCapraAegagrus Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 Yeah, Solo was boring. It wasn't awful, but it couldn't keep my attention after 20 minutes. TROS will be an absolute failure if it fails to reach 10-figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gatsby77 Posted December 19, 2019 Share Posted December 19, 2019 12 hours ago, IkewithMike said: Solo was terrible. It wasn't horrible though. That's the thing. Solo was just mediocre; servicable - like Dr. Strange or Ant-Man. Which is fine - if we're okay with some Star Wars films being minor one-offs and accepting that not every film needs to be a $1 bn.+ blockbuster event. My issues with it were two-fold: Over-explaining *every* part of the events that played into forming the Solo we met in A New Hope. A previous poster mentioned this - that by the end of Solo he was basically already the Harrison Ford version, with no further growth possible in the intervening years. I felt the same way with X-Men: First Class -- which took the cheap way out by paralyzing Xavier at the end - instantly relegating him to the wheelchair in his 20s. Rather than saving that critical event for the second or third chapter. It prematurely (and needlessly) stunted his character growth. Honestly, plot-wise, Firefly did it better -- and fifteen years ago, on a TV budget. Think I'm joking? Solo's plot was basically "The Train Job" and "Trash" combined, with Qi'ra. standing in for Saffron. Again - it wasn't *bad* but it was a missed opportunity, because it could have been so much more. bentbryan, Antpark, theCapraAegagrus and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We don't know how good or bad the actual Justice League movie is (yet), though. And I love BvS besides 1 moment that people use to demonize the entire film. I can see why people have their doubts about a film wrote by Abrams+Terrio. I don't, though. Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Terrio had nothing to do with the Joss Whedon changes to Justice League. So not sure how he is even being blamed for this when it is clear the post-Snyder environment is what led to the direction shifts. Heck, Snyder has been feeding the images for months of all that was cut out of the film after he left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mind was blown when Junkie XL was off the track after Snyder "left". Bosco685 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And by identical - I mean that we have seemingly exact same opinions. Love Zack Snyder. Captain Marvel is mediocre. Love TFA and hate TLJ. Absolutely identical. He says it pisses him off and it's not really good. Sadness has fallen upon me. He says that JJ can't be blamed, though, and it appears like he did try to do his best. Love Zack Snyder ✔️ Captain Marvel mediocre ✔️ Love TFA and hate TLJ .... Just the reverse for me. Maybe not love for TLJ but I really enjoyed it. TFA was just another Death Star being blown up.
