Very slow and boring and none of the characters were compelling. Also it rips off War for the Planet of the Apes by having the main characters held prisoner in an abandoned weapons depot again. Shamefully derivative scriptwriting.
1. War
2. Dawn
3. Rise
4. 1968
5. Kingdom
6. 2001 remake
Haven’t seen any of the others. My top 4 I consider to be great films and would give each of them at least a 9 out of 10. Kingdom had its moments but I mostly found it boring and a massive letdown compared to the Caesar trilogy. The remake is kind of entertaining for a bad film, Tim Roth is great.
Just saw the film and came here to say the exact same thing. It all was so creatively bankrupt. The villain was rubbish and there was not much excitement to any of it.
Not only did Andy Serkis’ commanding performance help carry the original trilogy but the screenplays were so much better with much better pacing and thrills.
Turns out Josh Friedman wrote this film and he’s also responsible for Terminator: Dark Fate and Avatar 2 which I didn’t like either, his writing is just so bland and forgettable.
I think now in hindsight the story of how Anakin Skywalker becomes Darth Vader is just a bit unnecessary and one that probably didn't need to be told. Having said that if Lucas was going to tell this story it should have been done a lot better.
Yes fans had unrealistic expectations and the film was massively over hyped by them but it's a horribly written film and the cast don't have any chemistry together. Compare it to something like Star Trek (2009) ten years later and whilst that film again doesn't have the best writing it has a fantastic cast that brings those characters to life. The interactions that the characters have are far more entertaining and watchable than the character interactions of The Phantom Menace.
Loved this film as a kid but it’s quite painful to sit through as an adult apart from the podracing scene and the lightsaber duel which are still great.
Lucas sounds like he didn’t have a clue what made the original trilogy so beloved to people of all ages when he made The Phantom Menace.
Saying it’s a film meant for children doesn’t excuse him from making a bad film.
Just because the films are PG doesn’t mean it needs to be silly and meant just for kids, it should be entertaining for people of all ages.
That is a fantastic review haha
I’m working my way through season 2 now and I haven’t seen a show decline in quality this much from the first to the second season in a long time, maybe since Heroes.
Venom was a box office success largely due to the star power of Tom Hardy and the trailers that promoted the film as a dark and gritty take on one of Spider-Man’s most iconic villains.
For some reason though Sony were deluded enough into thinking they could replicate that box office success with characters such as Morbius and Madame Web. It’s laughable and I have no idea how those two films ended up being greenlit.
Same here.
Going to be the first time Kraven has appeared on cinema screens and it’s going to be in a film without Spider-Man? Very annoying.
The problem is Zack is an awful writer, these Rebel Moon films have atrocious screenplays with bland storytelling and flat dialogue.
But people watch it because it’s just more crap shovelled onto Netflix so I wouldn’t be surprised if they green light more of this trash.
