People just trying to figure out weird ways to justify their anger over one or two scenes again by using hyperbole. It's very obviously not slapstick. Hell someone may as well claim it's vaudeville if we're going to slap whatever label we feel like on that scene.
Basically.
Great directing there.
Also, they made Poe's piloting seem real rather than him just pressing random buttons to do stuff, which is what he did in TFA. Poe smashing the side and doing that drift maneuver thing was
Indeed, I love what Rian did with Poe. He put that character on edge by taking away his piloting but I also want to see the alternative version of the TLJ where Poe stays a pilot for the whole thing to see Rian's direction of those hypothetical battles. Hopefully JJ ups his game for that in TLJ if Poe goes back to piloting.
Yo, what? They're not trying to convince you to like the movie, they're convincing you why your claim of "slapstick" is off the mark and wrong. No one here of course thinks you're going to go "OH! Well if it's not slapstick I was wrong, 10/10 movie!".
Yes it does:
Simply put:
You said there were 'no stakes'. That's what I personally disagreed with.
It features the greatest villain in the history of the franchise, that's why!
But the dialogue and delivery in it gets so bad! The whole middle parts feels super slow! Grevious makes no sense if you haven't seen any stuff outside of the movies and is super disappointing if you have!
That dual Lightsaber duel felt so long I honestly could feel my excitement at the action just slowly just fade until I was just wanting them to hurry up to Anakin losing. I mean we already know where the scene is going! Don't spend forever drawing it out!
I've personally never been a fan of simply abandoning flawed characters as opposed to fixing and improving them.It features the greatest villain in the history of the franchise, that's why!
Yes it does:
This is the scene where it's established that the force can be tapped into minds.
Simply put:
It doesn't work like this:
It's second nature, if you think you can do it then you can. It's there to be used, ALWAYS.
The entire thing was an excuse to pin the Universe's problems on Jar-Jar? Alright, movie redeemed. 10/10.It features the greatest villain in the history of the franchise, that's why!
It's been the point of discussion since the OT:
If you weren't the one who claimed it was Slapstick then what are you on about? It still doesn't change anything I said if you didn't either. It's clear what Inferno is doing is discussing the definition of Slapstick in an effort to show why that scene is not the definition of slapstick. That's it.
That's amusing. I saw your visual essay on the term slapstick and thought the same thing about you. I hope continuing to defend this movie makes you feel better about the fact that it wasn't received as well as you would have liked. As I said before, I hope you and I both enjoy the next SW film. Have a Happy New Year!
Yep. That's why it's the best prequel in my opinion. I have fun with it despite its flaws.
You literally changed the argument from "this scene is slapstick", which it isn't, into "you're trying to convince people this is a good film"
Yep. Cannot wait to watch it with my roommates, we just finished EP2. One hasn't hasn't ever seen them and one hasn't since they were in theaters.
