There is a "thing" in movies called "suspension of disbelief", that I regard as critical to enjoying the movie. It is the responsibility of the movie to put you in the frame of mind of suspending your disbelief in the fantastical things they are showing you, and it is in their best interest to do this well.
Putting things like pantless teddy bears with stone axes destroying super advanced technology weapons of war, is beyond nonsensical, and it is obviously introduced to attract children and create marketing of teddy bear doll products.
Showing movie after movie with average sized females going Super Warrior on much stronger and tougher men, is another such example where they make it impossible to suspend disbelief.
Unless you are as simple as a 14 year old boy, for whom it is my understanding movies target as their primary demographic, it is difficult to appreciate a movie with such jarring departures from plausible reality.
I enjoyed the first originals as well but let’s not mince over today vs. yesteryear.
I'm not. I'm mincing over a well told epic story versus narcissistic politically correct garbage. Have you ever watched Plinkett's reviews of the Star Wars movies?
They are literally far more entertaining than the actual movies they critique. Every criticism he makes is not only cutting, it is phenomenally accurate. He talks about the theory of entertainment and methodologies of successful movies and successful directors. The man has a deep understanding of the nuts and bolts of movie making, and he applies this knowledge as would a master swordsman fencing with a novice.
If you haven't seen them, do yourself a favor and look at his critique of the Phantom Menace, linked above.
