šŸ“½ Films I have seen

If you’re expecting Game of Thrones I think you’re going to be disappointed. This is after all, a show aimed at children, much like the films were aimed at children.

I think the first season had some great self-contained Star Wars stories, far more in the spirit of the originals. It’s a formula that has been lifted for the live action Mandalorian show.

A lot of the three-episode shows could easily be adapted into kick-ass Star Wars films, and I think that basically all the characters are handled better.

I also like the fact that everyone knows Jar Jar is a fucking joke. Just watched an episode where Padme’s ship gets destroyed and she asks Threepio if it was droids. It wasn’t.

Her next guess was Jar Jar.

So, I’ve just finished the whole of the Clone Wars, season 6 was good but season 7 was excellent.

Given what is about to happen with Star Wars Rebels, which was recorded before S7 of the Clone Wars, you can see why they made S7 5 years after the end of S6.

I’m quite pumped for watching Rebels now, although I understand (from my son) that that too is a slow burner.

It’s already better than game of thrones.

This is fairly old news, init?

If the first films were about choice, I reckon these ones might be about identity.

I have that feeling given the directors’ personal journeys.

Anyone after some decent time travel a sci-fi should watch Coherence and Predestination on prime. Try not to read up on either them first.

I was watching Holmes and Watson, for something to watch, when your post came in. H&W was, quite frankly, crap so I watched Coherence, it wasn’t very coherent but thought provoking.

I’ve just finished watching Predestination, I’ve seen it before but forgot about it. I quite enjoyed it…

Just watched Jurassic World : Fallen Kingdom. I thought this one was pretty good. In fact, I think all the Jurassic Park movies are pretty good. Is there a more consistent five-film non-rebooted series of films?

Hmmm, interesting question, what have we got for comparison…

Rambo - Not seen them all so hard to comment.
Terminator - Terrible after T2
Star Wars - Terrible after Jedi and arguably soft reboot for final trilogy.
Mission impossible has been fairly consistent apart from the second installment,

Haven’t seen them but would Harry Potter be a contender?

Also does the MCU not count?

Jason Bourne films?

James Bond?

Against my initial reservations, I actually thought the most recent Terminator was quite good. Not up to the level of the first two obviously, but a decent film.
