Star Wars: The Force Unleashed…brief review…

Leave a comment

So I finished playing, “Star Wars: The Force Unleashed” for the Ps3. I know, I’m waaaaay late on this game, I should have bought it a long time ago, but I wanted to play this before, “The Force Unleashed II” comes out to catch up.

First of all, I’m not much of a Star Wars fan. I like Star Wars, I’ve always been into Star Trek more. When I played this game, “The Force Unleashed”, I was surprised on how great it was. The storyline was great, the game play was a blast, and the graphics were good. I had fun playing it. I wouldn’t call this the best Star Wars game yet, ’cause I’m sure there will be plenty more Star Wars games up ahead of us. This one was really awesome though. This game made me appreciate Star Wars a little more.

The reason I’m not much of a Star Wars fan ’cause the plot and the writing all seemed too simple to me. Much of it was kind of silly and whacky. I’m like, how does Lucas come up with whacky shit? The writing with Star Trek is more insightful and intelligent. I always felt that Star Wars was more action and entertainment, then storytelling.

“The Force Unleashed” game felt totally different than the movies. It’s hard to explain. I’m looking forward to the “Force Unleashed II” game, which I think comes out sometime next year?

I’m now playing the game, “Mafia II”, that game is really good too so far, I’ll talk about that game when I get done playing it.

Report: All 6 Star Wars movies coming to Blu Ray in Fall of 2011…

Leave a comment

Yes, that’s right Star Wars fans! In the fall of 2011, not this upcoming fall, but the fall after, all 6 Star Wars films will be hitting Blu Ray.

While I’m more of a Star Trek fan than Star Wars, I’ll probably end up getting this. Simply because, I am also curious on what the Star Wars films will look and sound like on Blu Ray. I’m wondering if there is a big improvement than regular DVD.

Report: Indiana Jones “Bermuda Triangle” storyline is not true, says Frank Marshall…

Leave a comment

Earlier this week, rumours hit hard on the next “Indiana Jones” plot that it was going to be about the Bermuda Triangle. Turns out it’s just a bullshit rumour. Frank Marshall the producer, took to his twitter page to squash the rumours.

More on it here:

Thank god it’s not true. I didn’t like the Bermuda Triangle plot anyways.

I would prefer the next Indy movie to focus on something serious. I’d still stand by it that if George and Steve wants the next Indy movie to be successful, they need to make the next one more like “Raiders”. If they make it a popcorn flick again, they will get another backlash by haters. Make the next Indy movie like “Raiders” where fans can be happy.

Report: Shia Labeouf and Harrison Ford both hate “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” too?

Leave a comment

Not only that Shia openly admits to hating “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen”, he is also admitting to hate “Indiana Jones and The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”. Guess what folks? Shia isn’t alone on hating the new Indy movie. It seems that Harrison Ford even hates it himself. Although Harrison Ford himself haven’t spoken publicly trashing the movie, like he didn’t mind Shia passing the word for it. Now you figured out why George Lucas and Spielberg are planning to do Indy V, because they are trying to make a good Indy movie.

In my opinion, Shia shouldn’t blame himself. It wasn’t him that ruined the movie. I believe it was the writing, too much CGI. Maybe the public didn’t like the idea of mixing Indiana Jones with Science Fiction when it should focus on history. “Crystal Skull” felt too much of a popcorn movie instead of a serious movie like “Raiders of the Lost Ark” and “The Last Crusade”. Plus the most popular complaint about the film of them all is when Indy hides in a refrigerator to protect himself from an atomic bomb. I’ll agree that the scene was kind of silly, but I think the rest of the movie was fine. Honestly, I actually liked Indy IV “Crystal Skull”. It wasn’t a bad film, I liked the idea of mixing Indy with sci-fi, it made it a different Indy movie. It was entertaining, that’s all it is. I think Lucas had too much Star Wars mixed into Indy, that could be what it is.

When these guys start to do Indy 5, lets hope they make it right so Indy fans can be happy. They need to make the next Indy film more like, “Raiders/The Last Crusade”. They need to keep away from the popcorn CGI baloney and make it a serious Indy film. I hope they make the next one real good so they won’t get a backlash by the haters again. I have a feeling though, Lucas and Spielberg will probably make Indy V a popcorn film again, wouldn’t surprise me. Lucas and Spielberg are a couple of HUGE egos who don’t care what the fans want to see, yet they only amuse themselves with their film making.

Report: Star Wars: The movie series, Star Wars: The Animated series, Star Wars: The Live action TV series, and now Star Wars: The concert tour?

Leave a comment

George Lucas maybe done with the 6 Star Wars films, but his huge ego lately is doing whatever it takes to keep Star Wars going.

Lucas has done “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” the animated movie, then he’s planning an animated series and live action TV series both at the same time. Now he is planning a concert tour?

Yep, you hear that right. There will be an orchestra and choir playing the music from all of the Star Wars movies created by legendary composer, John Williams. The C-3po actor, Anthony Daniels will be at these tours to host them and to narrate them. He won’t be out wearing the golden robot suit.

The Associated Press reports:

George’s obsession with Star Wars is getting even stronger! He’s gotta make a living somewhere since he won’t be successful doing anything outside of Star Wars!

Report: “Indy 5” confirmed to be moving forward…

Leave a comment

Lots of teases and rumours going around for a long time that “Indy 5” is in the works. Talks of an Indy 5 has been going ever since, “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” hit theater. Producer Frank Marshall, confirmed the news that “Indy 5” is in the works.

It’s no surprise to me ’cause Harrison, George and Steve has been talking about it for a long time.

AICN reports:

http://www.aintitcool.com/node/41459

As long as they don’t use the Indy passing the torch to Shia idea, I’m all for an Indy 5. Lets hope they make the next Indy more like “Raiders” or “The Last Crusade”, and stay away from the silly popcorn action and make a serious Indy movie for once.

I LOVED “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull”, great film, but I would like the next Indy movie that all Indy fans would love. “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” is a movie you either love or hate, we need the next Indy film that we ALL could love. SO DON’T FUCK IT UP NEXT TIME GEORGE AND STEVE!!!

Report: George Lucas still moving ahead with Indy 5…

Leave a comment

Harrison Ford says that George Lucas is in “thinking mode” for Indy 5. Lucas is serious about doing Indy 5 and continues to move forward. Ford speaks out on the status for Indy 5 with LA Times, giving hints that it’s definitely gonna happen and Ford seems to be game to continue to play Indy, but Ford refuses to do voice overs for an animated Indy film.

After Lucas doing “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” animated film, he now has an “Indiana Jones” animated film in the planning stages.

“Indy and the Crystal Skull” will be hitting DVD/Blu Ray Oct. 14th, so be on the lookout for that.

The more Indy, the better! I fucking love Indiana Jones. “Kingdom of the Crystal Skull” was amazing, I loved the film to death.

The film did leave open for another movie, bring it on George!

Thought: Star Wars should get boycotted?

Leave a comment

You know what I’m sick of? I’m sick of everyone on the internet complaining and bitching about George Lucas and Star Wars. If you hate the way the Star Wars direction is going, then it’s simple, STOP SUPPORTING STAR WARS AND GEORGE LUCAS!!!!!!

George Lucas continues to keep shoving Star Wars into our faces, with The Clone Wars animated movie and now the upcoming live action TV series of the same thing. George made the 6 movies and already told the story of what needed to be told. The stories don’t need to be continued. The 6 movies are just fine the way they are.

If you don’t like Geroge keep coming out with Star Wars stuff all the time, then STOP watching them and stop supporting him. IT’S EASY!!!! I am not going to see “The Clone Wars” in theaters because I have no interest in seeing it all, and I won’t even see it when the animated film comes out on DVD as well. I won’t even watch the upcoming live action TV series.

George doesn’t care if people hate the Star Wars films or not. He’s never going to let Star Wars die, I’ve been saying from day 1 that he’s been doing it for the money and his own ego, and it’s good to see Star Wars fans finally realizing it. I’m sick of Star Wars. Sick of it, sick of it, sick of it.

If you ignore George and the Star Wars franchise, then maybe he will stop doing them when he realizes that no one cares about Star Wars anymore.

This is why I enjoy Star Trek a lot more because Star Trek is more about the storytelling, than the action and fantasy. I love Star Trek. Star Trek is more maturing than the childish Star Wars as if they came from a children’s book. I like Star Wars too, but only the first 6 films, we don’t need anymore Star Wars. It’s all pathetic. The hell with George Lucas, now he plans on re-releasing all 6 Star Wars films into 3-D versions to theaters everywhere, yawn. George is such an egomaniac, all he cares about is Star Wars. He can’t do other original work other than Star Wars because he loves the attention he’s getting off the franchise.

Boycott Star Wars and Lucasfilms.
