      I think you’re getting confused with Star Trek 6. That’s where the Klingon general keeps quoting Shakespeare. I just watched it on tv.
      What’s interesting is it was made by the same director of this film #2. He seems to like using good solid quotable classic literature.

    The Wrath of Khan is easily one of the best sequels ever made. Its arguably the best of the OT Star Trek movies. So powerful.

    • @sandal_thong8631
      @sandal_thong8631 Рік тому

      I think it was worth seeing more than once, and revitalized the franchise. However, an analysis said that as well as being a sequel to "Space Seed," it also drew on "The Deadly Years" and "Balance of Terror" similar to _The Motion Picture_ being a re-hash of "The Changeling" episode.
      I would argue against it being the best ST movie. In retrospect it was filled with stupidity and had nothing new to say, unlike _IV_ and _VI._
      They changed Romulans and their neutral zone to Klingon to save a few bucks, so they could use Klingon ships from the previous movie.
      The Reliant goes to the wrong planet, not realizing that there's a planet missing, or counting that Ceti-Alpha VI is now the fifth planet.
      Khan's people must have slept with their ears to the ground to have lost so many people to an ear worm.
      Also, all of his followers are not the age of his peers who ruled other countries, or the next generation, but an in-between generation of mostly sycophants.
      The crew of Reliant couldn't prevent their ship from being taken over (off-screen).
      Starfleet and the Federation was pretty lax about security for a planet-altering Genesis device (which also feels way beyond their tech-level).
      "I did nothing, but got caught with my pants down." -Admiral Kirk. A good summary of him being called to Regula 1 and getting hit by Reliant with his shields down.
      Finally, Spock realizes that "His pattern indicates 2-dimensional thinking," but they don't do it right. They should have moved on the z-axis (like they did) but then altered the pitch to be facing the plane the Reliant is cruising in. Then when it comes in front of them, shoot it, without Khan knowing where the shots are coming from. While the Enterprise rising up behind Reliant looks impressive, Khan could have been altering shots in the viewscreen to look left, right and back, and could have shot them before they shot him. I'd like an alternate ending video where he sees them, says "There she is. AFT Torpedoes, FIRE!" and blows up the Enterprise.
      Then, the thing about Kirk feeling old is like 10 or 20 years too early. Other Captains we knew from the original series were older than he was.
      Next, killing Spock was tragic, but it became a pointless waste of time, by just bringing him back in the next movie, which also borrowed stealing the Enterprise (imagine if they'd parked outside) from _The Menagerie: Part 1._ It was a stunt, like destroying the Enterprise, which came back in the fourth movie.
      Finally, it didn't offer any kind of social commentary like _The Voyage Home_ (which may have helped save the whales), and _The Undiscovered Country_ about people not accepting historical change. There were so many things they could have explored like women's equality, gay rights, excessive defense spending, drugs, migrants and illegal immigrants, similar to how the original series did issues of its time.

      Since movies about the multiverse, and reading _The Secret History of Star Wars_ I like to imagine other versions of _Star Wars_ and _The Empire Strikes Back_ if Lucas had done things differently, like cast Ron Howard, Cindy Williams and Harrison Ford from _American Graffiti._ Or had he killed Darth Vader and let Obi Wan live in _Star Wars,_ then _The Empire Strikes Back_ wouldn't have had Vader or Yoda! So if he'd cast Ricardo Montalban instead of Billy Dee Williams as Lando Calrissian then _Wrath of Khan_ might never have been made!

    Kirstie Alley made her acting debut 40 years ago in Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan and that was the same year Paramount Television (the studio that co-produced the Star Trek TV Series) gave us Cheers on NBC
    The series didn't get off to a great start in the Nielsen Ratings, but NBC President Grant Tinker saved the show from cancellation, Season 2 cracked the Top 40, but when The Cosby Show came aboard, that's when the show cracked the Nielsen Ratings Top 20 and when The Golden Girls came aboard the following season, Cheers would finally crack the Nielsen Ratings Top 10 for the next 8 seasons
    When Shelley Long left Cheers, in came Kirstie Alley and the ratings remained intact which includes season 9 finally getting as high as #1 knocking off both The Cosby Show after 5 seasons and The Original Roseanne after only 1 season and the Final Season of Cheers became the only NBC show that was in the Nielsen Ratings Top 10 during the 92/93 season and after which, Seinfeld moved in Cheers' Timeslot and scored HUGE and stayed in the Top 5 until its finale in 1998

      The clip they showed for Saavik (Kirstie) was not that great; better taking the test, the elevator scene, talking to Kirk on the planet, or asking about Khan following them.

The "You're Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" and "It's a Hard Knock Life production numbers felt clumsy and claustrophobic to me.

    Star Trek II just made Star Trek and really actualized what the fans of the old TV show always saw it as. It really is like a completely different picture than the first one and saved it. Shatner gave the best performance of his career to that point. Had action and a real villain, which the TV show always lacked. Really every Star Trek series and movie since owes a debt to this movie, as if this was a bomb Star Trek would have probably been a dead property barely remembered as 1960's bad TV

As a boy I watched lots of Disney Sunday Night Movies with girls in them. I have to cast my mind back to how I thought about things as a kid. Annie was a musical. The lack of historical accuracy. In the final scenes where Annie is rescued by Punjab and Mister Warbucks in the helicopter. The movie was set during the Depression, but helicopters did not appear until the late 1940s. All the girls in the cast spoke and sang in shouty, annoying voices.

    Annie 1982 remains an absolute classic!!! A real family time movie. Aileen Quinn CAN sing for crying out loud. Seriously?!! They foamed at the mouth over Albert Finney as Daddy Warbucks but barely any praise or proper recognition of Carol Burnett as the drunken yet in the end lovable Miss Hannigan. SHE stole the movie. Not Mr. Finney. Who was truly a gifted actor but I felt miscast here due to his limited vocal abilities.
    Grease 2: Were S & B high when they reviewed this movie? Have it take place in 1969 or 1979?!! Both films were purposefully set during the same time for a reason- it was a more innocent time!!! And since the original cast was not returning- they had to connect with the new. Hence, Michael being a cousin to Sandy (Olivia Newton-John). And I have never understood the fan fare of John Travolta. Whenever I watch Grease- it is guaranteed that the musical number "Greased Lightning" will skipped. Complete trash.
    Now, while Maxwell Caulfield is FAR more attractive than John (in my opinion)- John does have the stronger singing prowess. If it weren't for Olivia Newton-John, I don't think I'd ever have watched the first film more than once. Whereas Grease 2- I honestly lost count for the times I've gladly watched. It's fun, silly, sexy, romantic and for me- far superior to the first film.

    Gene would have appreciated the movie even more if he was familair with the original Star Trek series and knew about the back story with Khan. That key plot point means everything to understanding the plot of the movie and appreciating its full emotional impact

    Hola. Tenemos el siguiente problema. La última película que MGM produjo a principios de los 80s fue Brainstorm. Entre Brainstorm y Nine and a half weeks, hay unas 12 películas más del estudio que nunca pasan en ningún canal (de los años 2020s). ¿Qué sucedió con esas 12 películas?. Yo tengo los mini pósters en francés de esas películas. En Francia esas películas pasaron por los cines, pero aquí en Costa Cocos (Colombia) en ninguno de los 25 canales de películas las pasan nunca. Son 12 películas fantasmas de Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer / United Artists Entertainment Company, y hay unas 25 de United Artists estrenadas en los 70s (cuando pertenecía a Transamerica, conocida compañía de seguros), que tampoco las ponen en ningún canal, y uno realmente quisiera verlas. ¿Y adivinen cuales son los nuevos estudios fusionados de moda?. The Paramount Miramax Collection. Paramount le compró las películas extranjeras de Miramax a Buena Vista, compró todas las de Atlantis Entertainment y las de The Samuel Goldwyn Company, para pasarlas todas en su canal de clásicos.

    Star Trek II is easily the best movie of this bunch that I’ve seen, which only includes Grease 2, which is very weak compared to the first. I do want to see Hanky Panky and Annie, though.
    Also, no desire to see Visiting Hours, though I like both William Shatner and Michael Ironside, but I do want to check out Barbarosa.

    I saw Annie when it first came out in the movie theaters in 1982. I liked it enough to stay to watch it a second time.
    However, before the movie ever came out, I also saw the original Broadway production. Not once, but 3 separate times. And in my opinion, the Broadway production was far superior to the movie.
    They had John Huston directing the movie. While he is renowned to be one of the all time great movie directors, I don't think he was suited to direct a movie musical.
    Plus a few numbers that exist in the original play (such as NYC, among others) is not used in the movie. And in the movie new musical numbers (such as Lets go to the movies) are sung that simply didn't exist in the Broadway play.
