I didn't know these two can be compared, horny teenagers and winy vampires are similar to Space battles and alien creatures and and telekinetic light sword wielders?... good to know.
'First 3 Twilight Films are Better than the original Star Wars Trilogy'
- Thread starter Wait...What
- Start date
egh, ugggghhh.....aaaaahhhh!!! i cant....errrghh....even...form...(pant pant) a coherent....sentence!!!! so angry! HULK SMASH BBC FILM CRITIC!!!
coincidentally i'm watching starwars right now, i tried watching twilight, 2 minutes, although to be fare i walked into the room like ten minutes in, but i could not watch two minutes of it, i literally couldn't stay in the room, it was sooo bad, starwars isn't amazing in my opinion but is is good, there is no way all of the twilight movies put together could beat one of the starwars movies. 1 starwars movie= 7/10, all twilight movies= -867.5/10.
No. No. AND MOTHERFUCKING NO WAY IN HELL. The Twilight movies better than the original Star Wars trilogy? No way.
It's his opinion.
Let him have it while I gleefully re-watch The Empire Strikes Back.
If I meet him in person, then yes, I'll argue it out with him.
Probably something like "I'd rather have a science fiction epic with interesting characters and an expansive universe than pale characters hissing at each other in a cardboard cut-out story designed to attract women."
Yeah.
That works.
EDIT:
Perhaps OP is trollin'?

Where did he say this?
I'm a fan of Kermode and listening to his reviews, I seem to remember him finding the whole Twilight thing pretty alright (although, not anything special), and even though he doesn't love Star Wars, he has a high level of respect for them. I would be very surprised if he said this.
Googling "kermode twilight star wars" doesn't seem to give many results that suggests he said this and this thread is the second result on google.

There is NO possible justification for that comment. Yes, the original star wars trilogy had it flaws, but to compare it with a shallow, tween cash -in is a crime, a crime i say!
Well I haven't seen the first three Twilight films, so I can't really comment. However, isn't comparing these two trilogies kinda like comparing apples to oranges? Actually I think it's more like comparing apples to cucumbers. On the other hand, if you're strictly comparing the rabidness of their respective fanbases, then I could see how they'd be comparable; however I wouldn't consider that at all complimentary.
I actually feel that both Star Wars and Twilight are shite, but there is some merit to this opinion. Namely, there is a great deal of similarity between the two franchises.
-Both movies catered to a then-untapped audience (Star Wars hit the "action-adventure" spot for young males while Twilight is crack for young girls.)
-Both movies were hated by critics when they were released.
-Both movies have developed a cult-like following of rabid fans who seem insane and disturbed to people who don't share their love of the films.
Whether or not you feel the films are "good," you can't really argue the above points. I predict that years from now the Twilight Saga will be considered a classic just like Star Wars. Time will tell.
