Star Wars: The Force Awakens (12/18/15)

[WWEJedi]

Loved it as a movie but wasn't blown away. Didn't actually feel like Star Wars, but maybe the prequels didn't at first either.

Will probably take a few more viewings to form a firm viewpoint.

Oh, and ...

Spoiler

Han had a much bigger role than I expected.

Did you like it more or less than the PT?

 

[Prime Clone]

Right now I'm probably putting it in ROTS/ROTJ territory. Better than AOTC & TPM but not as good as ANH & ESB.

But again, the prequels maybe felt more "Star Wars".

It is in good company then.

I know what Jye sounds like, now I can die happy. Hope you have fun with the family man.

Yo Jye, Kickass

 

[spindrift]

Jye will love it if it features things blowing up...
However I'm continuing to drop my expectations lower and lower for this..repeat of ANH is not what I'm looking for and the more comments I read on it the more I'm ready to be disappointed

 

[jye4ever]

Short and to the point.

 

[Cixx]

Can't wait. No work, and will probably lose sleep waiting for tomorrow night.



These guys have seen it and love it! (with a few normal flaws) starts at 5:48

Pretty sure Harrison only agreed to come back if they killed him. I understand about not wanting to see him die, but with what Kylo Ren is wrestling with internally it makes sense and is a very horrible moment. Only problem I had was I saw it coming, I did not want it to, but there really wasn't much suspense to the scene. But after it happens, Kylo fully embraces the dark side. He is like a little kid who is trying to prove himself to Vader and is always falling short. Killing Han Solo especially given who is to Kylo (not sure if you know so I won't say) was such an act of darkness he internally proves himself to Vader.

From What i gather his story arc Will be to come back from the darkside, a new vilain, not really new mind you, Will show up in the next movie.

Oh and guys please stop with the "yu want it to fail or be bad" routine.
People dont go Hoping for the worst and to have a not so good time.

This is self contained but I heard a certain character is

Spoiler

in a coma at the end?

How is that not a cliff hanger? And seriously...

Spoiler

30 seconds of Luke with no interactions with Han before he dies? Lame lame lame. I want to know what Arndt's script looked like now.

Kinda wish I hadn't read that but as it was addressed to me I did.

Spoiler

Well assuming he lives beyond this film that sets up Kylo Ren as a villain to be feared. Really seems like Han, rather than Luke, is taking the Obi-wan role in TFA - which I think will be very interesting to watch. I do regret though if it means we never see Han and Luke sharing a scene again.

repeat of ANH is not what I'm looking for

But that's precisely the safest route to take.


Anyone who expects anything NEW or INNOVATIVE or RISKY from Disney with their $4.2 billion license to print money is brain damaged.

And Abrams is the epitome of the corporate franchise caretaker.

The King of repackaging is working for The Factory of Derivative Retreads.


Going in with lowered expectations would be a wise move . . . expecting to see anything you haven't seen before is not.

Happy with the reviews I've been reading for this (the fact that everyone seems to mention how this is not like POS prequels must be driving WWE bananas ). I'm going next week and honestly excited to see it.

Spoiler

Its not a coma per se, the character us wounded and resting.
No one says anything about coma or his life being in danger really.

Luke cameo is cringe worthy.
He look sad and crazy, ready to cry.
But yet he is on top of the Hill waiting for someone to come...
Really weird.
The scene us actually too long.
Rey is standing there holding the lightsabers towards him.
The way all the iconic heroes enter the scenes are all but iconic.
Yeah they were myth but noix they look like Old sad ghost... All if them.
Way to **** with the Old cast.

Man yu guys are way more cynical than me.
