Watched it last night, want to hear what you guys think. Throwing spoilers in the title because I think it'd be difficult to review without spoilers eh :hushed: My personal opinion - It's fun. Really enjoyed it. Good subtle jokes for old fans all over the film. - Stormtroopers actually FEEL like a threat and an elite force…
"Varied and esoteric film references" sure... that's one way to put it. Unimaginative and lazy is another. Lucas cannibalized a lot from the original trilogy in the prequels as well. And there's the whole "it's like poetry" thing that Lucas still gets ridiculed for. The difference is that when Lucas did it, it only seemed…
Saw it today. Initial thoughts are it seemed half-baked. It felt like a long movie and a short one at the same time, because all this stuff happens yet at the end you still don't know who the hell Rey is, or Finn... or what happened to kylo ren. They spent like a sentence on his backstory. There's all this pay off but…
Saw it yesterday. It Started off in the right direction: The search for Luke Skywalker -awesome premise, but that whole strand of the plot gets thrown to the wayside so we can rehash the same old Deathstar raid ,that at it's best, is a watered down version of the originals. I could have forgiven it if they had done that…
Well, I am the one disappointed about the movie. All video effects are top quality, everything else is so bad. I am not sure how SW fans will receive that Disney movie, since in not anymore a true SW. So, - new "Emperor" is called "Snok"??? WTF? And is a worst CGI character from many movies... - Luke leave his light saber…
When FA was announced there was a few things I said I would hate if they cheaped out and did; No.1 - Another Death Star but bigger. No.2 - Kill A legacy character to move the film along and turn it into an 'avenge me' cliché. The visuals were fantastic and I loved the stormtrooper turned good aspect, Boyega did great aside…
it held up well on a second viewing. I was keeping an eye on all the nitpicks I had and that I've read about after seeing it a week ago. Honestly, none of it really mattered much. It even felt less like A New Hope, probably because I wasn't looking for similarities anymore. The duel between Kylo and Rey wasn't problematic…
The first of the act of the movie was great, pretty much flawless in my opinion. But the movie started struggling almost as soon as Han Solo entered the story. Although still very enjoyable, from that point on a lot of the progression of the story seemed forced, contrived and rushed. The script should probably have been…
1. Snoak not Snok. And uh... outside of the dubious CGI (which i agree they could have done without... Prosthetics on a real person would have been badass), all we see of him is a GIANT projection. That may or may not be his true size, and Snoak may not even be his real name. It's already theorized that he could well be…
