Star Wars: The Force Awakens - 2/10

I'm sure there were many dissertations written already about this movie. So, I'll spare writing one, myself. All I'll say is, this was bad, bad, bad fan-fiction.

[emoji38]If the pattern holds you'll probably like BvS.

I'm looking forward to my second viewing of TFA at home. Sometimes I like movies more at home, some less, it's strange.

Come on dude, there's exaggerating, then there's your post.

Nice try, but we already have Riddick.

Sorry to get your panties in a bunch.

Come on dude, there's exaggerating, then there's your post.

And I'm actually not exaggerating, I thought TFA was horrible . There's too much to list, but I'll guess I'll go through a few points.

First, Finn was supposed to be a Storm Trooper who was taken from his parents as a young child, and trained by the First Order. But, he was the only Trooper who cracked under pressure in his first mission. And not only that, but when he met up with Poe, he was joking around and acting like a normal dude - not like someone who was trained to be a stone cold-killer. I'd expect someone like him to have more of a subdued personality, given his upbringing in a brutal, militaristic regime. His character just wasn't believable from the get-go. Then, there's also the entire back-and-forth dialog when he first met-up with Rey. Let's just say, I've seen every Disney movie ever made, to tell a Disney influenced script...

Kylo Renn stopped a freakin' laser in mid-air, but he couldn't even defeat a girl who picked up a lightsaber for the first time. Which touches on a point, how the heck did Rey become so skilled with the Force overnight when she never had any prior training? In comparison, Luke was under the guidance of two masters, and it took him years to reach that level. And then there's Luke; he only showed up for 15 seconds in the end, without any dialog, whatsoever (unlike what we saw in the TFA trailer, where we heard him speak). Needless to say, that was probably the easiest role that Mark Hamill ever had to play.

I also thought that Carrie Fisher and Harrison Ford didn't have the chemistry, like they had in the prior films. To me, I got the impression that they forced themselves to show up for a Star Wars reunion.

Anyways, I'll just leave it here. Like I said, I don't want to write a dissertation on this movie. I didn't like it, the new characters seemed off, the original trilogy charters weren't utilized well, the fight choreography was especially atrocious, and the entire script was a blatant rehash of A New Hope - especially with orphan in the desert who becomes a Jedi, and the Death Star III (or whatever it was called). The Force Awakens is simply like a rewrite of "Star Wars" for a new generation of viewers.

You know, I can't actually argue with a lot of that. I agree with you about Finn, he was a walking contradiction. I also thought he was channelling Shya Labouf most of the time. Rey & Kylo? Can't argue with much of what you said there either. It was all too much too soon, or didn't make sense on a lot of levels. The recycled plot though, is either genius or a lazy cop out depending on how you look at things..

On the other hand, I liked Han & Leia's moments. It was seriously cool to see them meet up again. Sure they wanted to get paid, but I don't think it appeared that way on screen. I LOVED that they kept Luke till the end.. & I hated it too. I welled up when he sees Rey & she gives him the lightsaber - less is more.. so the trailer was deceiving in that way, but clever too.

I didn't really care for 'Poe' though - he did nothing for me, & I've noticed some folks thought he was a highlight. He's not an actor that has the SW vibe at all IMO, but ehh.. whatever works for fans I guess.

Anyway, it's not classic STAR WARS, but it's got the hallmarks at least.

Solidus brings a good point about Finn, he was too jovial and quippy for someone who just escaped a murderous nazi-like regime, of which he was part of most of his life, had a moral epiphany and a small nervous breakdown. He would've been better with a personality like Moses from Attack the Block, his previous character.

And then the group would have more diverse personalities.

I just finished those too - about what I'd give them.

He does make some good points. There's things about Finn that don't really add up when you think about him. I kind of found it weird how he easily fired on the people that he was raised and trained with, not to mention the things Solidus pointed out but in the end I liked his interaction with the other cast members.

Starting with S2 it became more and more cheesy, which I liked.
But in the same time it became more inconsistent, with more boring or pointless episodes... which I really don't like.
Watched about half the S4 and so far it's around 7/10, unfortunately.

I started watching this series from the beginning a couple of months back, and partway through season 2 I definitely agree with your assessment. I don't mind pointless episodes so much, but boring is unacceptable! I just saw the one about the hormones in the beef actually being alien DNA stuff or whatever, and it was one of the worst so far.

Jungle Book (2016) - 7.75/10

 

[karamazov80]

'71: 8.75/10

QUALITY. And it ratchets up suspense like few other movies. I've been interested in the "troubles" of Northern Ireland for a long while, and this did a good job of capturing the brutality and shades of gray on both sides of the conflict.

Moon: 8.5/10

It's well crafted, well shot and well acted, but since it's essentially a one man show, it gets a while to for the suspense to kick in. Meaning that it's kinda slow, and more in tone with a character exploration drama than a straight-up sci-fi. Still, it's well worth a watch.

Trainwreck - begrudging admission that it was pretty funny/10

I so didn't think i would like this movie, watched with my Wife and couldn't help but laugh, not to mention that Schumer can also act decently.

99 homes (2015) 9/10

 

[GasparZizou]

Splice - 6.5/10 Something between Species and The fly in both concept and quality.

I tuned out of that movie
