The franchise should have stopped at 6. Solo was weak, as was Rogue One, though it was better than Solo.

Possibly an opinion: the prequels were good (except 2, that one's awful)

As someone who has watched the Halloween Franchise, I have to say that the most recent films have been weak.

They have been weak since the Original part 2. The Rob Zombie ones were dire.
I did enjoy Halloween, the one a few years back but I think that was having Jamie Lee Curtis back as Laurie Stroud again.

I do like the old Peter Jackson horror movies, Badtaste , braindead , his career went down hill after that.
He ended up doing fantasy movies and documentaries about obscure pop groups 😀

Because all of those are Series. These are movies. The sequels are trash because wokeness, no actual direction and the fact that the directors changed.

To be honest I never really liked Star Wars.

The only Star Wars related thing I liked was The Mandalorian.

Palace of Kir, Svetlytopal, Russia

Constantine stood on the balcony of his bedroom, looking out to the city and beyond.
"I know not what I'd say to my nephew. I was filled with anger when I did what I did.. and it was all for nothing.. now I'm to hear my uncle listens to him..", Constantine spoke to someone, that someone being Iemelian, standing behind him in the doorframe.

Iemelian let out a sigh.
"What is to come is inevitable.", he simply said.

Constantine turned his head slightly to look at Iemelian.
"Then alert Sir Ordric... prepare my armour.. and Sasha."

Iemelian stared momentarily before turning away to do the bidding of Constantine.

ENGLAND

Andrei looked down at his hands.. yes British facilities were good but they still didn't feel like his own. No matter, he had a job to do. Wherever Arthur was(minus the toilet or sleeping) Andrei knocked on the door before entering. As he walked in a cape waved behind him with a signature look of superiority on his face.
"Arthur.", he simply said as his expression became grave.
"We must act before it's too late. My contacts in Russia, in Svetlytopal, we can smuggle in nesh 40 Knights to assault the Palace of Kir. Between you, me and them I have a firm belief we can end it and Russia can be restored to the state it was under Aleksandr IV.", Andrei said before stepping closer.

    WINDSOR CASTLE, WINDSOR | ENGLAND

"As it should be," Arthur said as he turned to Andrei, after making some mechanical adjustments to his sabre hilt, "but what happens next? If you topple a Russian Emperor, who is going to replace him? His brother I imagine, or are Russias succession laws less... stringent than ours...?" he asked.

Andrei took a deep breathe before finally speaking.
"Aleksandr is sickly and most of all.. young, unfit.", he'd go on to say before being close enough to put his hand on the shoulder of Arthur.
"I'm afraid I'm the only one fit to take such undertaking. The brother of the murdered late Emperor Aleksandr and most of all experienced. I take no pride in what we have to do.. but if they do not fight then we shall not.", he then went on to explain.

Andrei then stepped closer to the door.
"I'm sure you have some Knights or elite troops in mind?"

Arthur nodded in agreement. His nations own succession laws would have seen Aleksandr become Emperor despite his age and inability, but he did privately like the idea of Andrei as the Emperor of Russia. "Yes," Arthur began in reply, "I put some of the Orders most proficient battlemasters on notice in case they had the opportunity to do what needed to be done. They will not let us down." he said, with great confidence.

Andrei patted Arthur on the shoulder with a proud smile.
"That's my boy.", he went on to say before turning and leaving towards the door.
"Make contact with them and tell them to meet with me at..", he then paused taking out his holophone from his pocket and sending the specific space sport to Arthur.
"There... I also expect you to be present and from there... we will finish this.",
He then left... continuing his plotting and plans for the throne.

While the mandos prepared the rebel military installation was in a mid-tier alert after the crossing of the Volga by at least 10-15 Russian divisions and activity up and down the Trans-Siberian railway but nobody was expecting an actual assault.

General Vladimir Kelianov was dressed in green with a leather overcoat and cap overlooking the base from a control tower.
"How many men have we lost today?", Kelianov questioned one of his underlings.
"23. Half to defection, the rest to exposure. Central has been mostly silent.. what the hell is Berry doing?", the underling questioned.
"Watch your tone. 'Berry' is the boss and the communication issues are probably related to the weather and damaged lines.", Kelianov went on to say before sighing.
"Luckily however the snow is melting. Nobody can sh*t on this day."

You can't blame wokeness on them being not as good as the originals.
It's been 40 odd years since the originals came out people's attitudes have changed , so they have to produce a story that
reflects that. People would complain about it either way.
Movies are a global market and Starwars is a global brand now. If they were made for a niche market, that would be like
Communism and that doesn't work. They need money to be viable. Capitalism.

I do agree with you the sequel saga film series was executed badly to a certain extent. It started off OK but the second one
was when it started to go badly wrong. Carrie Fisher dying didn't help and the director of the second pretty much seemed to do his own thing and left the 3rd film with alot to sort out. So everything plot wise, seems rushed and shoved into holes with the last one and not explained properly. Like Rey and her amazing power levels.
But that's Star wars for you, it's always been either a triumph or a bit of a disaster.
Jar-Jar binks for instance.

The very first one was a disaster until George Lucas's wife at the time edited it and tightened it up.
She won an Oscar for that. She has been called his secret weapon.
They divorced in 1983. You could say Star wars has been trash since then honestly.
Out of the Star wars movies, how many of them have been actually been really good ? 2 maybe.

Wokeism was a major reason the sequel trilogy was so bad, especially the second film. It wasn't the only reason but it was a major one. The main reason was the fact it was totally disjointed and clearly had no direction or story whatsoever. It started off pretty decent with TFA, then TLJ came in and ruined it totally, with the failures from that seeping into other projects that in their own right were actually good. Had it been a standalone film it would be alright. Then because of that TRoS was an absolute, utter, total disaster all the way through. They had to get an original character that was well written and completely screw him up.

The Prequels and Sequels can't be compared properly, they are totally different things. Which is the problem, they shouldn't be, they should both be easily identifiable as Star Wars, which the Prequels are but the Sequels are not. The dialogue in the Prequels is what let it down. Other than that, anyone who looks at it enough can and will see that the Prequels are genius storytelling. The transformation and downfall of a galactic democracy into a totalitarian fascist state, the story of how liberty dies. Most of the critics of the prequels come from people who just see them as movies for entertainment, instead of being a deeper insightful story. That's more what the Original trilogy was about.

And then there are the Sequels. Which are just all-around terrible. Not even identifiable as Star Wars either emotionally or culturally, other than the appearance of the original characters, which they utterly disrespected.
