Hypothetically, if Star Wars had been made in the 1950s, it would have been like Flash Gordon.

I can see why Batman vs. Superman got mostly negative reviews. The movie is overloaded with action sequences and drags out too long. But the film is underrated. Between all those action sequences are bits of dialog, so brief that you have to pay attention to keep up, that are gold. Jesse Eisenberg steals the show as Lex Luther. He is a welcome surprise, playing a really manic Luther with some cool dialog.

When 4K TV's first came out, some people pointed out that your eyes can't see in 4K. (I know mine can't.) I bought a 4K TV anyway on a Walmart Black Friday sale at a great price.

Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny
The Imitation Game
I wish that I could say that "The Imitation Game" is objectively a bad movie. The problem is that it is very entertaining, but it is one of the most historically inaccurate films I have seen in recent memory. I was already familiar with the history of breaking the Nazi Enigma code, so on my first viewing, I noticed a problem with the scene where the code breakers decide to not stop a German attack for fear of alerting the Nazis that they had broken the code. In reality, these decisions were made at the highest level of the government of Great Britain.
However, on my second viewing, I noticed how the movie is loaded with melodramatic scenes, and I guessed that every one of these scenes is either a complete fiction or a big distortion of actual events. It turns out that I was right. The film also leaves out a great deal of actual history giving the viewer the false impression that Turring was solely responsible for breaking the code.
I have a low tolerance for movies that distort history, and it is a problem we see in many films. Why should I care so much? Because it miseducates the public about real events.

The Remains of the Day
The movie "The Remains of the Day" came out 31 years ago. I am often surprised by the passage of time. Anthony Hopkins was 55 years old when it came out, and this was two years after he did "The Silence of the Lambs."
The movie was highly praised for its performances and for its message. Anthony Hopkins was nominated for Best Actor. The main character is effectively in a prison partially of his own making by being stuck in English tradition and roles.
I remember thinking that the movie was a bit of a bore and a waste of Emma Thompson. It was delightful to see Christopher Reeve in a small role at the end.

Should Star Wars fans lower their expectations? Oh, I don't think so...
2 minutes ago
My problem is that I found many shows, The Last Jedi, Kenobi, Ahsoka, and even The Book of Boba Fett entertaining even though I know that they are flawed. I prefer higher-quality entertainment, but I still enjoy these shows for what they are. I also don't judge TV shows by the same standard I would movies because they are lower-budget productions. The fact that we get halfway decent Star Wars TV shows is a bit of a miracle. Back in my day, all we got was the original trilogy, and on TV we had to settle for Star Wars wannabes like Battlestar Galactica and Buck Rogers.
