Controversial opinions about movies

One more thing: John Williams' score was inexpressive compared to the previous (even episodes I and III have better music) Hold on. That lone voice when Luke emerges from the shadows and starts bashing away at Vader is the most powerful cue in the entire saga. The Emperor's theme is a classic. It's...

Who do you think are the 5 most overrated film directors

Maybe Gale Anne Hurd's influence was considerable. Also, he was young and hungry. That's a film with great discipline and no inflated sense of self-importance, which are the things that afflicts his later work. Also, that was many years ago. I could say that M. Night Shyamlamamalaman is a great scr...

Who do you think are the 5 most overrated film directors

He's a terrible writer, but a master showman. How is The Terminator terrible writing? I agree his writing deserves criticism, but terrible? Maybe Gale Anne Hurd's influence was considerable. Also, he was young and hungry. That's a film with great discipline and no inflated sense of self-importance,...

Also Lando was going to die and the Ewoks would be Wookiees, and there was a Mon Mothma striptease.

Controversial opinions about movies

Kasdan, or perhaps even Lucas as well in the earlier drafts (I doubt it) conceived of more of a film noir element with characters playing off one another and really exploring that angle of Vader wanting Luke to join him and destroy the Emperor. You can argue that Vader is shattered at the end of Emp...

Favorite Martin Scorsese Film

Allstar wrote:After Hours is better than Gangs of NY, Raging Bull, Casino and Cape Fear.
Very true.

For me, it'd be between that, Last Temptation, The Age of Innocence, and The Aviator.

Controversial opinions about movies

More problems than just the Ewoks. The fact that Vader is basicalyl neutered from the start, the fact that Fisher and Ford are just phoning it in, the fact that it's just a far less rich and engaging experience than Empire on the whole (especially photographically and directorially), so on and so fo...

Man of Steel (2013)

http://www.comingsoon.net/gallery/91422/hr_Licensing_Expo_2012_40.jpg What the hell is this? Christopher Nolan, producer of The Dark Knight Trilogy?? It obviously should've said "And Producer Christopher Nolan, Director of The Dark Knight Trilogy" For some reason this really pisses me off... Him be...
