First two were good, last 4 sucked. keep doing the same formula and the rest is garbage. I omitted the first two movies from the list which scored above 90 percent.

Yea, and the first two were good yes, but for the right reasons? It's sad in this culture that we don't appreciate originality anymore.

Just while we are on topic Hamshank, did you also hate Lord of the Rings cause it was all about orcs and "ripped off" mythology?

[B~E]

light swords and summersalting old men. Also theirs just a ton of other stuff from Star wars in Starcraft. For one the Force was the original sci-fi mystic/religion/superpower energy that binds warrior space monks. Another great example is,




Edit: oh and what about the ion cannon that they needed to destroy to leave Tarsonis. Look familiar?

I agree with the lightsword part. Of course.

No, I loved Lord of the Rings.
That's original. They were one of the first and they did it right

I'm not quite sure I know what you're talking about.

Nearly all Orc(k)s in all literature, film, and games are based on Tolken's orcs, seeing as LOTR was written during WW2. Tolken meerly took the name from Old English meaning "demon", but there were never green-skinned, rapidly breeding, tribal Orcs as we know them before Tolken.

First of all, I don't count Clone Wars, nor have I seen it, so my opinion isn't based on that.

Secondly, the proof I showed you was from the older movies, and I'm quite aware the new ones don't receive the same praise, nor did they use the amount of references the old trilogy did. I will admit they're guilty pleasures of mine, but I won't call them GREAT movies.

Third, I'm a movie go-er who values delivery more than originality. Thats just my tastes.

I'll leave it at that since I don't want a Star Wars debate. The point I was making is the Sci-Fi genre itself lacks originality, and I'm not looking at a video game sequel, which wasn't original to begin with, to deliver any more originality. If you are, then your looking in the wrong place.

That only begins to scratch the surface of Tolkien's mythology influences.

As I said, my knowledge is minimal, and I'm still waiting for you to enlighten us all...
