Overrated/Underrated Geek Media

Underrated: Warcraft, The Mummy (Tom Cruise's)
Loved Warcraft and thought The Mummy was a pretty decent opening for a dark-Earth styled storyline.
We were robbed of two potentially great franchises.

Overrated: Man of Steel
If only Kal-El's dad had made the effort to get a USB with a larger HD capacity, so he could fit an AI version of his wife, it would have saved Supes some major heartbreak. Also apparently you don't need papers to enter secret US army dig sites. Finally that combat from the mid-to-the-end of the movie was so long that it felt like the equivalent of a 4e Encounter using THACO.

The Last Jedi is amazing and I love it.

This is one of those things that boggles my mind. Other than seeing Ian McDiarmid chewing up the scenery, I can't think of anything good about this movie.

Yeah, my phrasing got drunk or something. I love that escalating view of how badly wrong things have gotten so quickly. What I meant to say is that the remake doesn’t have a scene to match the one inside the newsroom as everything goes to hell, and that I love the mood it builds. So let’s just pretend I did say that.

The DVD extras (you remember DVDs?) included some newsroom scenes with Richard Biggs as the newscaster and Bruce Boxleitner (voice only) as the president. They were pretty cool, but if they had ever planned to put them in the movie itself I can see why they chose not to.

The Riae of Skywalker is the one with Palpatine, and it is garbage. The Last Jedi is the interesting middle chapter that actually said something interesting for the first time in a Star Wars movie since Empire Strikes Back.

Eh? The 90s gave us Babylon 5, the best SF TV show ever. The only decade in TV SF that was anything close to the 90s was the 70s.

Babylon 5 was incredible. 90s had some great Sci-fi TV. Lots of Star Trek. Quantum Leap. Even sitcoms like 3rd Rock. X-Files. It only barely made it into the 90s, but Alien Nation was another I quite liked.

Like you, I've never managed to complete lord of the rings or the hobbit, Tolkein was such a boring writer. I've watched the movies, though not the hobbit trilogy (could not be arsed watching that as a trilogy).

I am not an obsessive fan, but I quite like Lord of the Rings (not as much into the Hobbit though). I've read it twice. It certainly isn't face paced or short. So you have to like it to want to read it (which is true of a lot of trilogies like that though). On the other hand, the movies bore me to tears. I have fallen asleep to most of the Lord of the Rings movies and to every single Hobbit movie that Jackson did. I loved the Bakshi Lord of the Rings. And the Hobbit TV movie and Return of the King TV movie have their moments (I don't have the same nostalgia for them as some people and the music in them was awful, but Bakshi Lord of the Rings followed by their Return of the King isn't a bad combo).
