Nice! I still don't think it'll catch Avatar globally though.
The FO Stormtrooper stuntmen were badass in this movie. Not only did you have the guys flying around on wires from being shot by Bowcasters, TIE Fighters and even X-Wings but there was that one guy running down the ramp of the dropship who gets shot by Finn and he falls and does a massive faceplant into the dirt. He bit it hard with legs up in the air and everything. You know they knew they were going to be watched by a billion people so they really sacrificed their bodies and held nothing back.![]()
But Kylo was a murdering bastard at the opening. 95% of the time he's in the movie, is prior to that scene. Han's killing doesn't explain that. You could say that the dark side infects people in that universe in a way that isn't like anything real human beings experienced. And I could go for that, but of course, you lose an ability to connect to the character and situations. Or, you could just say Kylo is a psychopath, and that's less interesting. Vader was interesting because he was a true believer in this religion essentially, who was willing to kill and torture everyone in order to pursue his goals. We don't get that from Kylo, either. So. . .emo.The only time Kylo teared up was after his Oedipus moment with Han. And that would certainly qualify as one of the "most intense kinds of trauma you can imagine." Actually I'm not even sure that he did shed tears (unlike the 80's heroes that somehow get a pass for doing the same.) Whatever good that was in him knew full well how horrifying his actions and loss were at that moment and for the rest of the film. Stop trying to be so cool guys and just enjoy the good drama on screen!
Or if you don't think it was good then by all means camp out with the movies that are better than "marginally good" or whatever TFA was to you.
Gotta shake my head at all the millennials here who can't handle characters having emotions. If First Blood, ALIENS, Lethal Weapon or Die Hard came out today then Rambo, Ripley, Riggs and McClane would all be dismissed as whiny emo crybabies because every single one of them wept on screen.
DiFabio and Kara "like minded?" We can't have that. T1 vs. T2. Which is better? Discuss...
I thought he turned out to be a Terminator?I didn't even see that.
Hmm. The T1 T-800 is a better villain than Kylo Ren. John Connor is a better kid and leader than Kylo Ren. John had a hard life. He was raised in a harsh, military environment. No father. His mom was arrested and he was told that she was bat**** crazy. Then he was put into foster care. He never turned to the dark side.
Look how Connor turned out under all that stress. He ended up being a compassionate hero.

Oops, I forgot about the greatest Terminator movie of all time. My bad.
When I think about it, Jurassic World, Terminator Genisys and the Force Awakens have a lot of similarities.
Somebody rep the heck out of DiFabio please.
