I think this guy got it right:
But, uh... I'm sure it works better in context, right?
I'm actually impressed that she retained all that nonsense in her memory. Wow.
Funnier than 99% of other Star Wars humor. Very nicely done.

In essence, I find both styles to be empty gestures, designed (poorly) to enhance the "cool" factor while simultaneously devaluing what makes drama and film structure exciting. Posturing, "heroic bloodshed" (one of the most irritating terms I think I've learned from Match Cut), faceless baddies, and hyperslick emptiness. Obviously the Ultraviolet clip is a bit less "tasteful" in its degradations, wilder, but ultimately I see little difference in effect.
