[Paul Kemp]

Uninspired but then again JJ Abrams is the person that brought us the imaginative subtitle "Into Darkness"...

[King]

I don't know if they will be good, but Abrams at worst is a good storyteller so they'll at least be comprehensible unlike the prequels.

[Lief 🗽]

I just hope this doesn't turn into another Marvel Cinematic Universe horror. It probably will though.

[King]

If by Marvel horror, you mean dialogue filled with awful jokes, I think we crossed that bridge with Star Wars a long time ago.

[Lief 🗽]

I mean a never ending wave of boring, mediocre, uninspired movies with the exact same stories and exact same cardboard characters and exact same uninteresting third acts where CGI explosions cover the screen for thirty minutes with absolutely no emotional stake behinds any of it.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Have Abrahams and Nolan taken over all SciFi / Fantastic / Superhero movies everywhere? It sure looks so (X-Men is the only exception that comes to mind).

[Chancellor Tanterterg]

This will probably be meh-to-bad like most of JJ Abrams' stuff.

The Marvel/Avengers movies haven't anything to do with Abrams or Nolan. Neither does Zack Snyder's Superman/Batman/Justice League reboot series which started with Man of Steel.

Didn't Nolan direct Man of Steel?

Oh, well Star Wars crossed that bridge in 1983

No, Zack Snyder did. After having looked it up, Chris Nolan was in fact one of the movie's producers though.

Oh, I see why I made that mistake. I often confuse directors, producers, and sometimes even writers in a movie.

[King]

Nolan "wrote the story" which makes no sense since Man of Steel was just the generic Superman origin story we'd seen 10 times before.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

Of course, the title could end up going the way of Revenge of the Jedi.

Recycled and modified twenty years later?

[Citizen (The) Doctor]

To be fair, Revenge of the Sith managed the unthinkable: a watchable movie starring Hayden Christensen.

If "watchable" is something defined by just being something you can see with your eyes, then yes, perhaps.

The Marvel Cinematic Universe has had many good films (the first Iron Man, Captain America and Thors, and I haven't heard anything bad about the second Captain America or Guardians of the Galaxy.) But I'm not optimistic for this. Odds are we won't be getting the MCU but The Phantom Menace.

[7,052,770]

Are Hamill/Ford/Fisher the stars of the movie, or will they just have bit appearances?

If they're the stars, the movie has a lot of potential.

[Yelnoc]

The title makes no sense.

This is going to be awful.

I don't get the blame Hayden Christensen gets for the prequels. Anakin came off as bland and emotionless not because of Christensen's acting, but because the direction and the writing basically made it impossible. It even made Samuel L Jackson look bland. Anytime Christensen wasn't having to say any of the movie's crap dialogue, he came off as a pretty good character in my eyes.

[BaconBacon96]

I'm looking forward to the film a lot. This title on the other hand is quite a bore.

Sorry, can't buy this. His performances were as terrible as the rest of it. A good actor is usually able to lift dreadful material to a reasonable level.

It really was all a perfect storm of complete trash.
