Star Wars: Episode VII: The Force Awakens (2015)

Darth Vade..I mean Kylo Ren is going to kill Obi...I mean Han Solo on the Death St...I mean Starkiller while Luke Sky...I mean Rey watches!

guys, remember, this is still Star Wars we're talking about, not the Godfather.

God I hate this argument. I like ESB and ROTJ more than The Godfather anyway.

but why do people criticize this movie for not being something that it never was or never intended to be? it's like saying south park's animations suck compared to a Pixar movie. yes there are plot holes. yes the dialogue can be corny. and yes the scenes can be predictable as all get out. but that's star wars.

btw, if you recall, I never saw the godfather

Tell me your feelings on that short jedi character

Let's all watch Darth Va...I mean Kylo Ren talk to the Emper...I mean Snope via hologram in a dark chamber!

Also, Kylo Ren is related to a hero!

Also, Rey has strong force powers but she hasn't been trained yet!

did they have a separate tape rewinder? DID YOU EVEN REWIND IT?!

[Norah]

I haven't seen this yet but I feel like I'm going to be closer to LV than to strat on this one.

[Monkey_Driven]

Be kind.

I actually pointed this out earlier. it bugs me too.

What? How am I expecting it to be something it's not? I just want it to be GOOD. The OT were GOOD MOVIES. This is lazy, pandering garbage.

[Norah]

I don't believe I was kind.

[dimejinky99]

i do wonder how much the rehashing of so many of the OT plot points will bother me as time goes on. right now, it only bothers me a little, with minimal impact on my enjoyment of the thing. we'll see if that changes.

My biggest concern about this too.

Seeing our favourite characters again after all these years. Feels.


How much longevity does that have?

Will this still be a great film when the trilogy is over?
Think so but we will see

or Luke..I mean Rey...flying to Dagobah...I mean Ireland?

This could go on forever. I don't think anyone has any illusions that this wasn't basically a remake of ANH with nods to ESB and ROTJ. It didn't lessen the enjoyment of the movie at all for me.

[E.H. Ruddock]

the video cassette rewinder was one of the biggest scams of the last century.

Character was dumb and looked terrible (the CGI for all the alien characters was just abysmal), but Nyongo did a good job.

Ha, my first thought was that they flew to the planet Ireland.

For years we've all been wondering what happens next. Well, apparently exactly what happened before happens next.

it sounds like your biggest beef is that it's essentially ATH II. if that's it, I think it's a fair criticism. but any of the other criticisms could probably be said about the original trilogy.

[E.H. Ruddock]

With as big as the Star Wars Universe is, though, there is so much potential for new or even tangent storylines from the original. Copying the original just seems a little lazy and/or pandering.

In fairness you seem like you wanna hate it before you've seen it, for hat ever reason.
See It And have at it afterwards. Be honest though.
