Phantom Menace is at least some what original, Force Awakens is an inferior remake Why watch Force Awakens when I can watch A New Hope instead?

I’m fine watching either one but this film has better moments and more interesting failures

In my opinion, "The Force Awakens" was, as George approximates it, a "nostalgic" movie that, imo, for the first time since the prequels, regressed the franchise. "The Phantom Menace," (and KOTOR) pushed the needle forward, rethinking what Star Wars could be, adding many iconic elements to the lore.

The other two sequel movies ruined Force Awakens for me, and at least with Phantom Menace I fall asleep every time I watch it, so I get to see about the first half, which is nice.

The prequels are the Star Wars films I grew up with. While The Force Awakens is probably an objectively better film, how the Sequel Trilogy turned out as a whole ruins the films individually for me. Phantom Menace is just pure nostalgia for me. Plus pod racing and that final light saber duel!

Because The Force Awakens is a good movie?? Who would willingly, casually watch The Phantom Menace?

Even though its a rehash of ANH its still more entertaining to watch than the phantom menace.

Despite a weak finish in its respective trilogy it was a very promising start that has alotta enjoyable moments vs moments or characters I dread rewatching.

The characters in this for more fleshed out and are given their own identity, voice, and goal. Not all character share the same goal even Rey and Finn as they are together but clearly want different things for themselves. Finn's arc in this film alone is great especially. Acting is far better too.

Kids only get to be little for a very short time. I think it's imperative to let them enjoy being children while they can! They grow up way too fast as it is.
ReplyLet them be kids for as long as possible!! They grow up too fast as it is. Sage Elementary doesn’t allow costumes either but my middle schoolers and high schooler was allowed to dress up.
ReplyYou’re only a kid once... let them enjoy it while it lasts.
ReplyLive is distracting. Let the kids learn to deal with them.
ReplyWhy not? OR is already in 48th place among the 50 states in ranking. They are allowed in many states with much higher school rankings besides the worst that could happen is OR take over 50th place.
ReplySchool already can be a place of "have-to-be-there," so why not try to engage / excite students who might not be engaged / excited otherwise. It may even help with the bulling epidemic.
ReplyYes it is for fun and the kids and most adults love it. It is a great excuse to do something fun and different from the ordinary. Love the creativity it brings out in kids and adults.
ReplyWHY WOULD YOU NOT LET KIDS BE KIDS AS LONG AS POSSIBLE?!
