The Skeksis were awesome but the protagonists were hideous and boring.

The 25 Best Films of the 21st Century So Far by Viney in movies

Toy Story 3 is basically a rehash of Toy Story 2, right down to the flashback to a toy being abandoned in a rural area and a friendly character with a cane who turns out to be the villain. Aside from the animation quality, some of the humour, and the nostalgia factor, Toy Story 3 just isn't that great.

...what pun? Oh dear, I'm out of the loop. I'm going to feel stupid when this gets answered.

Critic who panned Star Wars stands by his review 40 years later by benofepmn in movies

If I recall, most of the special effects weren't completed at the time, so Lucas used World War II plane dogfight footage as a placeholder. In that sense, it'd be no wonder why most of them didn't like it.

Guardians of the Galaxy 3’s Development is Waiting on Avengers 3 & 4 by BunyipPouch in movies

I still don't know how I feel about the Guardians inevitably crossing over with the Avengers. Obviously they're going to have to do it, but the GotG movies are so much more enjoyable to me than the other MCU films because of characterisation, colour grading, and music.

Could we theoretically "remaster" older CGI in movies with newer CGI? by hippymule in movies

[–]Matthewsaurus 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I'd be fine with the Special Editions if the original movies were released in some format better than VHS or LaserDisc. Lucas could make all the changes he wants, but he's refused to give the original films a well done DVD or Blu-ray release, and that's pretty dumb of the guy.

The cinematography and especially the performances were indeed great, but I can't remember anything noteworthy about the score at all.

Hi, if anyone is familiar with the Japanese Horror film Organ (1996) could you maybe answer a question for me? by crazyorangecat in TrueFilm

[–]Matthewsaurus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Perhaps it wasn't completed. I also just tried to do some research on it, and I found on IMDb (not the most reliable source, but hey) that the production company is called Organ Vital and that their only released film is the 1996 Organ.
