Justin Lin's movies make bank and are extremely well received.

Star Wars is the former but not the latter.

Responses:

We clearly have different definitions of "well received", then. -- nm - Ultron Dec 22, 16:28 18
- have you seen any of his F&F films? -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 16:29 17
  - I am refering to Star War movies not being well received. - Ultron Dec 22, 16:31 16
    - It's amazing how easily you GFBs whitewash an entire trilogy of suck. - David, Level 31 Warlock Dec 22, 16:38 6
      - I thoguht non F&F movie had broke the 250 mil work domestic? -- nm - Ultron Dec 22, 16:41 5
        
        Don't think. It leads to threads like this one. -- nm - David, Level 31 Warlock Dec 22, 16:42 4
        
        238m was the peak. Prequels: 474m, 310m, 380m. -- nm - Ultron Dec 22, 16:45 3
        
        Do you even know what you're arguing at this point? - David, Level 31 Warlock Dec 22, 16:46 2
        
        I am trying to see your logic on why Lin was a great choice to move the franchise forward. - Ultron Dec 22, 16:49 1
        
        8 hours. - David, Level 31 Warlock Dec 22, 16:56
    - Third installments in big budget franchises pretty much never go to the Steven Spielbergs of the world -- nm - con_carne Dec 22, 16:35
    - ah. agree with the prequels for sure. And yeah on your IM that's true to a point...but then the F&F gets mentioned -- nm - Remlik Dec 22, 16:33 7
      - Did I miss the day when F&F moved beyond being sort of a joke? -- nm - Ultron Dec 22, 16:37 6
        
        yup. with domestic box office takes over $200 Mill for 5 and 6. And WorldWide B.O. around $650 Mil each... - Remlik Dec 22, 16:43
        
        You missed the decade when it happened to Star Wars. That's clear. -- nm - David, Level 31 Warlock Dec 22, 16:38 4
        
        So confused. You argued BO meant "well received" earlier. Then F&F did not even touch the prequels. -- nm - Ultron Dec 22, 16:43 3
        
        No, I really didn't. I correctly stated that FF was *both* a revenue generator and well received. - David, Level 31 Warlock Dec 22, 16:45 2
        
        In other words, you failed on both points. Got it. -- nm - Ultron Dec 22, 16:46 1
        
        Good lord, drunk Bacon isn't this loud wrong and weird. - David, Level 31 Warlock Dec 22, 16:47
