Excluding: 'It ended.'

I really like the end bit of Attack of the Clones when all the Clones are boarding the ships and the Imperial March is playing and Palpatine is standing there looking smug as fuck. That was a cool scene.

Regarding the prequels, the scene in The Phantom Menace where they're all at Qui-Gon's funeral, and Windu's like "But which Sith did we kill, the master or the apprentice?" and the camera pans over to Palpatine is brilliant.

Pacific Rim has some cool shots.

The Pod Race in Phantom Menace. I just love the sounds that the pod's engines make, especially Sebulba's.

In Terminator: Salvation, I liked the part where the Harvester comes out of the gas station and blows the fuck outta everything in sight. It was funny trying to see people drive away in a truck and then the Harvester blasts it into a million pieces. Only time in this movie that had the machines actually do something smart like they were programmed to do.

The entire Geonosis battle in Attack of the Clones was great. Seeing all the Clones and the vehicles duel it out with the droids was awesome. I wish we could have a battle that scale in size in a Battlefront game.

George Clooney and Robin would not be enjoyable to watch if Ah-nold wasn't Mr. Freeze. You could tell Ah-nold had the time of his life playing that role.

Oh wow, I never noticed that.

It's like Lucas's old self managed to regain control for one brief moment after TESB.

It had giant robots fighting giant monsters in the rain

It was like an episode of Power Rangers, and one of the GOOD ones too like In Space or Lightspeed Rescue. Shit was DOPE AF.

Elai · September 18, 2015, 10:34:04 PM

yeah but i mean

it had absolutely no substance whatsoever

like i could maybe forgive it if they even tried with the narrative

Winy · September 18, 2015, 11:06:42 PM

I tend not to remember much about films if I didn't like them.

...I... Uh...

There was this kind of cool action scene in The Expendables where Dwayne Johnson (I think, could've been somebody else) lifts his leg up after putting an enemy on the floor, then kicks it down right over the dude's neck, breaking it and killing him.

...That's all I have.

I liked the fact that the firebenders actually needed a source for fire like the other benders in The Last Airbender

Zonda · September 19, 2015, 08:25:12 AM

IIRC I found the way they killed the Giant's wife in Into the Woods to be pretty funny. Aside from that, I was more bored than when my parents took me to see a 4 hour long play as a kid, when I had no idea what was going on in the story, and really only wanted to collect Caterpillars.

Is Attack of the Clones introducing the Clone Wars era valid? Because I love the show and doing Clone Wars in Battlefront

Flaarg · September 19, 2015, 09:11:54 AM

Terminator 3 ending was kind of cool.

nͫiͤcͫeͤ · September 19, 2015, 11:53:12 AM

every single scene where there is fencing/swordfighting is almost totally wrong as well as the outfits people wear

really, just the lack of historical accuracy in movies and films about historical time periods, like jesus fuck

BaconShelf · September 19, 2015, 11:58:09 AM

The fight scenes in the prequel films were brilliant - both the lightsaber ones and the massive battles. The Battle of Geonosis and Battle of Coruscant remains one of my favourite scenes from any film to date.

The Transformers films have some pretty cool CGI. I loved the Dinobots in age of extinction, just a shame that a film whose entire marketing revolved around the introduction of dinobots had them in it for about five minutes. Out of nearly three fucking hours.

On the other hand, the scenes from films I like that I always dislike are space scenes (Except Gravity and Interstellar) because no one ever does space right. I love the space fights in star wars, but the lack of scientific accuracy when it comes to space is astounding, though I've just sort of come to accept it with star wars.

Elai · September 19, 2015, 11:59:23 AM

Batman and Robin is actually a fucking hilarious movie.

Honestly, there are so few decent historical films as it is that I've given up caring about accuracy for the most part.

As long as it's not too retarded, of course.
