Just a poll, I was wondering what you think about star wars and the way it compares to modern movies?
the old ones are great... the new ones suck ass... they completely and totally based the 13 year old and under crowd for the new ones so taht they could make profit selling fucking action figures... :rant: they could have done a hell of a lot better...Quote:

The newer ones slightly lacked substance relative to the previous 3, but I still found them exciting to watch, especially on the big screen.
I loved Star Wars. :yup:
Episode one was kind of stupid with the Jar-Jar Binks character, and episode 6 with the furball Ewoks, but other than that they were great!
They are all ghey as hell. Worst movies ever.
Star Wars..great foundation. Prolly nothing wrong with this movie except something the first 3 movies suffered from, SHITTY fight scenes.
Empire..best sequel of its kind. Loved Yoda's teachings. Shitty fight scenes.
Return..still looks good! I love the starship battle at the end. Perfect wrap up from where they begun. Slightly less worse fight scene.
Phantom..boring for most of the movie. The BEST fight scene of the series.
Clones..Um, the kid playing Anakin is horrible. I know hes supposed to act like a crybaby, but this was too much. Yoda fought! Wowsers! Too short and his kung fu stance was gay.
Revenge..I expected it to be darker, but I blame that on Anakin's actor. Yoda vs. Emperor was a GREAT idea.
There was something love-able about the characters in the first 3 that lacked in the next three. Qui-Gon and Obi-Won were the only like-able (not love-able) characters. Actually, Palpatine was good too. If the acting wasnt so blocky, I would bet it would be 10x better.
BTW I LOVED the Akira movie, classic!!!
Raiders vs Star wars ????
the old ones are cinema history, at the time they were revolutionary. created a world never seen before in cinema and the story was good, too.
the new ones are so absorbed by logistics (special effects) and merchandise orientation that the story and characters get left behind. to me, lucas has become more of a cinematic manager than a director.
the older ones left enough with the lack of "super duper" special effects taht one could utilize and project thier own imagination... that is what made teh moveis good... now we are in a generation that await spectacular explosions and what not... we are left as sheep with no imagination...
Darth Vader coolest villain ever
i don't know about that... there is scar face...Quote:

The originals are cool, the new ones suck. It started going down hill when they added in stupid shit like Jar-Jar Binks.
+1 :DQuote:

I honestly didnt mind Jar Jar so much. I didnt like him, but he really didnt interfere with my judgement on the coming of vader.Quote:

They didnt have a character like that in the newer movies. Less variety. Obi-One couldnt be TOO MUCH different than Anakin since he was his master. He should mirror Obi-One (is it one or won?).
Its silly to talk about it as they will never be re-made, but then again, they are supposedly re-doing HULK. Yep, I found it while looking for the new spiderman 3 trailer.
dont forget Goblin ...or did they call him Green GoblinQuote:

I forgot what this thread was about :dance:
An actual remake. And yes it would have villains.Quote:

I forget which movie I was looking at, but it made me think the site wasnt credable.
I'll pick Vader and Jack Torrence (the shining)Quote:

That could make for a very fun movie. Stan Lee had the right idea- some of the best villains he created were based on nature gone wild, just like Spider-Man himself.Quote:
