This is very much your post Taken typical kidnapped person-of-interest movie. And that might be the most accurate and complete review that you'll ever see. The only real difference is the main star and the amount of Bull vs. Owl techniques. Jason just bulldozes his way in.

This is basically scene for scene the same as Gladiator. Yes there are some differences, but the story is the same. Solider gets picked up as a gladiator and then has to lead other gladiators to fight against overwhelming odds. This means people look into his background...

A nice change from the first movie was by adding some additional interpersonal issues that add to the comedy. They never feel like a distraction which is good. Plus the bad guys in this have a nice life of their own. They are a little stereotypical 90s villains...

There isn't anything inventive about this. The story is pitiful, the action is limited, and the characters are poorly written. I saw a review that says this is supposed to be like Ex Machina. That is 100% my issue. Ex Machina was 1000% better in story, action, and acting. It is a poor knock off.

Can we start with the conversation about this cast being excellent and somehow critics hated it? People love it, as they should, but critics have lost their mind. Big monster fighting will always be a fun watch.

My favorite movie series throughout my entire life. There are ups and downs in the series, but I think overall it is 100% still something that needs to be watched. It is also something that pushed the industry forward. Just look how Star Wars was received in 77.

couple other storyline plots like that, that just looking back make very little sense to the story structure. However, I don't think any of them take away from the story that is told, especially from the lens of what they were trying to achieve. Brining another generation into being Star Wars Fans.

I forgot about the title, and remembered when I was uploading it to the site, so I need to talk about that. "Rey Skywalker." Absolutely stupid. Not sure where they were going with it, but I understand the idea that in this world the name "Jedi" is both good and bad

I can vividly remember walking out of the theater in Arizona and having a huge complaint about this movie. Leia being Mary Poppins. She is blasted into space, and is able to wake up, calling on the force and float like Marry Poppins into the ship.
Star Wars
The story is iconic. Of course, it is. There is a reason there is something around 12 movies, 3 TV shows (at least good ones), tons of books, and some great and terrible video games. This story speaks to us and I think it is that why even today, just show of 50 years later, it is still
Star Wars
This is the slowest of the original trilogy in my opinion. There is just a lot of slower pace to this movie that really pulls me out of it. Mark, Harrison, and Carrie are still excellent in this movie. However, I made a comment in the Blade Runner review about Harrison Ford's kissing ...

The fights both between force users against each other and non-force users like on Jabba's Barge are iconic and honestly awesome. There are so many scenes that just make you feel that you are there and really just get pulled into the events.
