Just set the Expos. It's still get's good, as always, but later eps aren't as strong so far.

There seems to be a troubling amount of Phoebe Waller-Bridge in that trailer for my tastes. 

She's everywhere at the mo. Wasn't it drop the dead donkey or whatever that new show was that blew her up, ahh FLEABAG! I never saw them, just recent stuff and she's mildly annoying to me, but I don't know her enough from previous stuff to be annoyed, or notice her enough in current stuff to be annoyed. I feel it's on the negative trajectory though.

Oh! Well spotted.

 

Still, bit of a case of the 'memberberries, innit?

IKR! I bet there is even some running away, and whip shenanigans it. Lame. 

I enjoyed the mystery's, and want to know more, and the action isn't bad, as it doesn't appear super high budget, but the show itself though is just a bit slow, and it's easy to get confused if you miss one piece of expository dialogue.

This is going to go the way of 99.9% of all sci fi shows with interesting ideas isn't it. In the bin, because they couldn't quite find the way.

This is totally Idiana jones: the force awakens.

I'm guessing most cinemas still have their 3d setups. Well, assuming they didn't just chuck out all their secondary projectors.

Considering the great efforts Cameron went to with the underwater filming, I'm expecting some ground-breaking water shit in this one. You can get a little glimpse of the seemingly photoreal water in this, but it's difficult to tell with the compression these trailers suffer. Youtubers can put out 4k60 videos, 2x a day, and Cameron can't put out a decent bitrate trailer...

The Last Jedi was indeed very divisive, in that critics were split between 91% positive on one side, and 9% negative on the other. The film divided critics into one colossal majority of people who liked it, and a tiny majority of people who didn’t. This is divisive in the strict technical sense of the word. 
 

Audiences were similarly split in two, in that they only sold 140,000,000 tickets which is just 2% of the world’s population. The vast majority of humans didn’t watch it at the cinema, which would explain why it only took in £1.4bn at the box office. 

Here he is again...

Yes yes, we get it, you love the last jedi. The rest of the world thinks it's shit, which is why it was retconned  BY THE PEOPLE IN CHARGE, in the following movie. The fact that was worse doesn't change that fact.

They're all dead to begin with.

I'm such a fucking maroon. I thought this was only 8 episodes, and got really confused when you guys where talking about new stuff. 

Yes, this is bloody excellent!

This is great. It makes me worried the ending will be unsatisfying, but lets hope! 

I was a little bit half asleep for this mostly, but I really was hoping for better. Some of the monster designs looked amazing, but the stories just seemed to leave me a little...what? like they would in Love and robots, or the Neil Blomkamp thing. The difference is they had a quarter of the length to setup, develop, and close the story.

5/10

9/10 for looks.

I think everyone’s VASTLY overstating how much of a visual improvement this is over the first. It’s clearly fucking not. There’s bugger all in that trailer that Cameron couldn’t or didn’t do in Avatar.

I think you are VASTLY overestimating the quality of the previous film. I recently watched the 4k HDR remaster of the original, and while it "holds up" impressively well considering it's 90% CGI, it doesn't really compete with a modern star wars, or...whatever the CGI has in store for us in this case, which you absolutely cannot see from a terribly compressed 720p upscaled to 1080p, down compressed for youtube trailer.

Average

Story 5/10

looks 10/10

6/10

And boy oh boy, they like telling a lot of story, that really didn't tell us much story.

This is absolutely the best.

Well, I really enjoyed that. KEVIN! . The lawyering is fucking awful though, jfc, at least try and make it a little believable. 

Oooof:

4.2 on IMDB with only a few hundred votes. Yeahh, I'll give this one a miss!

http://imdb.com/title/tt13009160/

I thought they were still having trouble with voices at the moment though?

I understand it's not the point of the show, but I do hope there's a bit of hulk smash at some point.

Haven't seen the new season yet, but it was confirmed new karate kid isn't the same universe, so no chance of Jackie chan appearing.

No repercussions for tatiana is fucking nonsense... 

Well this may have kicked up a storm...

Do these live action remakes actually make money? I mean, I guess they must if they keep cranking them out... 

I read the cast as Halle Berry, and was thinking there's no way in fuck that looks like her.

Halle Bailey
