The reverse of that post I’ve made a week ago…

Rules: pick one movie or series and explain why you actually enjoyed it despite the criticism.

For me: The JJ Abrams Star Trek movies, by far the best ST stuff ever made, I couldn’t take seriously the original universe with the dated effects and stiff acting, same goes for NG… These movies did ST actually great looking and much more believable, not just the effects.

    Star Wars Episode IX: The Rise of Skywalker is a great movie.

    I don’t care what anyone else says. My son and I have rewatched the ST many times now. I really don’t see that much of a problem with the writing and direction of each film.

    ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      It has one of my favourite space-opera scenes ever in the cavalry charge across the hull of a star destroyer! Other than it was at best okay but that scene was ridiculous in the best way!

      Took me a half hour but I finally figured out to get your missing limb back:

      ¯⁠\\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      using ¯⁠\\\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

      At least it shows up correctly in Photon.

      Edit: Well, crap. It does NOT show up correctly in the default UI. LMAO.

      Also I didn’t downvote you but it’s hard to understand what you like about Rise. I’m not asking you to defend it but could you highlight a few things that make it a good movie for you?

        I really like Palpatine in the film. I just can’t get enough of Ian McDiarmid as Sheev/Sidious. I like it in general really.
