First Blood- 9/10
Cobra- 6.5/10 "Your the disease, and I'm the cure" I love that line
Demolition Man- 7.8/10 I never noticed, but Wesley Snipes pretty much plays the Joker.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 9/10
That's a pretty interesting observation, especially with the laugh.
The Force Awakens - 5/10
It's more of a "50/50" than "this is pretty bad".
I'll elaborate in the TFA thread later, long day.
From the looks of it, TFA is just a big budget fan film. It's a rehash of A New Hope and ESB. In a way, the prequels were more original, but the bad acting, over use of CGI, and poor story telling ruined something that should have been great. On paper, a story about Obi Wan and a young Anakin becoming Vader is better than anything in TFA. Some say that TFA feels like a SW film unlike the PT, but really, it only feels that way because of all the fan service, rather than making an original story that's good and it fits with the OT, which is what Lucas tried to do with the PT...but failed. JJ just made a fan film for SW fans..which is ok, but for people to call it great, is an overstatement.

This seems to be the common argument from reviews I read about it that didn't have a nosebleed from excitement from seeing it. A rehash of old formulas? Yes, but at least it wasn't bad for the people that really looked forward to it. Not defending it, I couldn't care either way.
And you're absolutely right, on paper, the PT was a brilliant idea... and that was as far as it went.
