Watched the documentary on the special features and really loved it. Made me like the movie more too

Plinket vid is up.



I'm glad other people are bringing up the totally bizarre contrivances holding up most of the plot + the fact Rey is fucking happy in the climax of TLJ when she should be in bummer town + the actually bad* choreography in the throne room fight.

Vader, could you please at least downgrade your score. 🕷️

*bad coreography in the throne room is L.O.L. town

A guard literally swings at Daisy and changes his direction to go through air because Daisy didn't crouch in time.

That’s not how you’re supposed to watch movies. Otherwise T2 chase would never work. You guys ought to relax.

RLM are nothing but washed out cynics. 🕷️

dunno, I use my eyes:

once you realize everybody on the left side is twirling around to nowhere for no reason it actually becomes really really funny

also:

the guard's 2nd knife inexplicably vanishes.

tbh I dunno how calling the choreography bad is even controversial, I mean look at it. It can still be an amazing scene but have poor fight choreography.

Stop being so sensitive.

Except the go-to choreography problem people call out in TDKR is that someone slips while they're fighting...on iced over concrete...and then Batman kicks him in the face.

"That's not how you watch these movies"
If an action-adventure film has poor action, that's absolutely something to call out in a film.
