I went in with no expectations for Force Awakens and enjoyed myself. I agree E7 is closer in quality to the original trilogy, especially the humorous dialogue worked well.

Not sure about the second movie now though, hopefully Jordan will distract me enough that I wouldn't mind what was actually happening if it turned out bad!

I don...And Creed is the one I suggest you see. <br /><br />I don't hate The Godfather Part III, either. It's not a bad film, but a bit misguided. Sofia Coppola was bad, but not the biggest problem, to me. I always thought the biggest issue is that the scope is too big. Two films about a crime family and how their inner workings are affecting them all evolves into a third film mostly about saving the Pope. It just kept getting in its own way.<br /><br />I've not seen either of The Rescuers movies.<br /><br />I don't hate Crystal Skull as much as others, but it's clearly the weakest entry in the series.Dellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05634519605152190304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-227751790693713235.post-54629561038737807542018-07-05T16:57:23.888-04:002018-07-05T16:57:23.888-04:003 incredible films that were worth the wait.

It basically has the same plot of the other Rocky movies but it is so engaging and entertaining and feels so fresh!

I believe I'...And I've seen none of these. <br /><br />I believe I've stated before my deep dislike of the original Toy Story so I'll never watch the sequels. <br /><br />I missed out on all the Star Wars mania when they were first out and then tried to catch up when I was sick one time by watching them in succession, it did not go well and I was throwing things at the TV by the end of the last. But many years later when they released them again to theatres for whatever anniversary it was I decided to give them another chance one by one and went to the Capitol theatre in DC with its enormous screen to see if it improved my experience with them. It did and while I didn't become a raving fan I appreciated them more....though I still hate the ending of the third. However that's as far as I go, I've never felt the least desire to watch any of the others.<br /><br />Creed is just one I never got around to. I've heard the positive reviews but having burnt out on the Rocky films long ago I was in no rush to catch up with it. It is the one out of this trio that I will probably see one day.<br /><br />The problem with long delayed sequels is that they often fall far short of expectations as is the case with my first and third. With my second the hopes weren't nearly as elevated and if turned out to be a pleasant little film.<br /><br />The Godfather: Part III (1990)-Long aborning (16 years between this and Part II) wrap up of the Corleone saga isn’t terrible but a mere shadow compared to the first two. A HUGE weak point is the decision by Coppola to cast his daughter Sofia (a decent director but an atrocious actress) in a key role. <br /><br />The Rescuers Down Under (1990)-Thirteen years after The Rescuers the R.A.S. (Rescue Aid Society) sends their top two agent mice Bernard (Bob Newhart) and Miss Bianca (Eva Gabor) down under to save a Golden Eagle from the evil trapper McLeash (George C. Scott). So they hop on their trusty albatross Wilbur (John Candy) and are off on their big adventure.<br /><br />Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull (2008)-Nineteen long years after Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade came this uninspired follow-up. It not that the film is horrible but for a Spielberg adventure, especially one with Ford in this role, it’s uninspired. It’s nice to see Karen Allen back in the fold but the idea that she and Ford would produce Shia LeBeouf (!!) takes the film even further into the negative category. joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.com
