previous page fella

what to say without saying anything..ill spoiler this but it wont conatin any spoilers anyways
Spoiler: show
it does follow template to a large degree, but its better..anyone who saw me say ANH has the bones of a good film, but it could be done so much better? this is that..but much much better than id hoped...its totally its own beast..As Stip was saying, the impact/feel it factor in the battles is incredible..it looks stunning overall..this showing was in 3D and that really worked on shots of the star destroyers/big stuff but didnt come into it apart fom that...gonna fess up to crying both happy and sad about 9 or 10 times during it...the reveals are done SO well...there's one shot of Han in the Falcon i nearly jumped up and cheered :) the acting is great across the board..i have one huge problem but ill hold off making my mind up about that until i see it again thursday..the part they filmed here in Ireland is SOOO obviously Ireland, but thatll just be me notices that..In the end? its got that Star Wars feel all the way through:) the shots and direction even down as far as extras & stormtroopers..you could be right back in the originals and that all adds to it.. im not gonna rank it yet but man, its fuckin up there:) bring tissues..im not being a big girl..youre gonna cry too :)

Here's basically what I need to know, Dime. Had you known what was going to happen would it have diminished the film, or was the presentation such that even knowing what was going to happen would have been irrelevant?

Simple answer to that..watching it, i wished id never watched any of the trailers...cos you knew what was gonna happen next or in a few minutes, putting it together from what youd seen

i would avoid all reviews until youve seen it..
but i said i wish id not watched any trailers..mean that, but it didnt take anything away at all..

and the stuff they chose for the trailers, some of it is from really unexpected parts..theyve given none of the good stuff away whatsoever.
