Damn, that just wasn't very good at all :/ I was cautiously optimistic after enjoying the first Star Trek movie, and the trailer and sneak peaks of epVII looked pretty damn exciting, but the end result felt very rushed. Great first half hour, but then everything fell appart. As much as I disliked the prequels for their…
Eh, it just didn't feel earned. And the rebels blew up a moon sized thing, this is several times bigger and organic. The way it was handled was just cheesy, imo. Like purposely ramping things up just for the sake of it. I feel like it would have been a much better film if they scrapped the whole star killer death run, and…
Just like Lucas then. All the star wars movies are basically an amalgamation of a ton of other stuff. Even the pod racing sequence in APM is a shot for shot "homage" (*cough*) to Flåklypa Grand Prix https://vimeo.com/84289137 Skinpop said: lol, says who? Lucas sold the franchise, the canon can be whatever Disney wants it…
The fact that she was fixing the Falcon left and right did bother me, I don't think they showed her doing any mechanical thing in the Star Destroyer wreckage. All she did was pulling out parts... it clicked more when she was manipulating those platform on the planet near the end, but definitely not on the Falcon. The…
WHERE THE FUCK WAS JAR JAR BINKS. I would have laugh so much if it was him instead of luke at the end. Missa was waiting for tussa. I mean 99,99% of the planet hates him, but he's THE disney character. (ok that wall-e robot was cute as hell too) We went see star wars with the company's fans :) I arranged for us to have an…
It was overall very good, it's a solid entry in the series and nothing like the prequels (thank buggery). It does also have it's own new problems. I feel that they did a reasonably good job with the initial world building, it's a very Star Wars movie set in a very Star Wars universe, and there's a fair amount of attention…
the movie was basically a carbon copy of a new hope. it's well crafted, but still just a copy. it's disappointing to me that after seeing the TFA, the only imagery that still stuck with me are shots that pretty much were 1:1 to shots in the first star wars movie. This movie didn't give me anything new, it had no…
Saw it the other day. Had fun, really enjoyed that it FELT like a star wars film. The greatest crime that the prequels committed, imho, was that they were "lore contracting". They closed doors. They answered questions. They fleshing things out too much and tied things into connected, and often stupid, packages. Ep.VII was,…
Loved the movie, and I was mindful of being critical, not wanting to end up the equivalent of a TPM defender. I've been thinking on the movie all of yesterday and today, couldn't stop talking about it (a good thing imo) and I honestly feel it succeeds in living up to the "new generation of Star Wars" title. It raises…
Kylo isn't fully trained (clearly, since Snoke tells Hux to retrieve him so that he can finish his training) but he's also in a pretty bad place psychologically when he runs into Rey and Finn, as signified by his difficulty in pulling the saber out of the snow (though Rey might have begun trying before him). JJ said he…
