Re: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

Star Wars is back! A lot of fun and some surprises. There are some issues I had but this is definitely the best one since I been born. Seeing it again tomorrow 4dx and i'll be rockin all over the place. The pacing was really good, funny, it setup the next couple movies for sure and the new characters are awesome.

I can't say enough how great John Boyega Daisey Ridley were. Definitely a fan of both and franchise is in good hands with the new cast. BB8 is great too, loved that little guy. Oscar Isaacs was great too. Can't complain with any of the characters at all.

Introduction of the old characters was great too. Harrison Ford looked like he had so much fun being Han Solo again. It was great to see.

Everything you guys saw in the trailer that made you feel awesome, will do in the movie too. Can't wait to see it again.



Avoid spoilers, glad i did!

Can't wait to see this tonight.

JJ Abrams....that is how you make a Star Wars movie. I went through a whole circle of emotions watching this film.

It was as if Harrison Ford never left the role of Han Solo. Really have a soft spot for Rey.

And I want a BB-8.

And 007 was in this movie???

Re: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

That was awesome. So amazing. Hit every emotion. Was perfect how originals were brought back the way they were. Daisy Ridley may have stolen my heart. BB-8 is the cutest thing ever. Jeez, I don't even know that was such an incredible experience. I might say it's a top 3 Star Wars movie. I'll be seeing it again Tuesday.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

Oh and I also want a BB-8. That dude was freaking great.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

That was brilliant. Good lord. Now I won't be able to sleep.

Spoiler

Rae has to be Luke's daughter, right? Came to that conclusion midway through the movie and I'm sticking to it.

I also had a feeling about Han. Definitely felt like his swan song, he was featured heavily all throughout the movie.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

That was full of cheap pops, blatant callbacks, and telegraphed swerves









...and was completely amazing. Holy ****.

I don't want to rush it by calling it the best Star Wars film yet, but I will say as of now, only ROTJ is better. And that's subject to change.

Everything the prequels were, VII wasn't. It had well-placed humor, it had interesting characters, it stopped caring about trying to be epic with it's world creation and focused on character development, and for that reason it was epic. And I'm not misusing that word, Star Wars: The Force Awakens was epic.

Now, for my thoughts on the plot:

Spoiler

-From the moment I saw a catwalk, I knew Han was done and dusted. I saw that coming from a mile away and it still didn't numb the shock

-However, the scene where Rae force calls the lightsaber over Kylo was also telegraphed, and that did take away from the awesome factor

-The ending would have been much better with Rae and Chewie jumping into hyperspace instead of the drawn out shot with Luke. We all could have pieced together that she was going to see Luke, it was pretty obvious. However if JJ was set on ending with Luke, having him force call his lightsaber before cutting to black would have been soooooooo awesome

-Rae and Kylo are cousins. Prove me wrong, JJ. Or actually, don't.

-Even though I saw it coming, Kylo went from whiny teenager trying to emulate his grandpa into established villain with one push of a button, which speaks volume for the story.

More thoughts as they come later.

Lastly, I see you dropping that trailer for Beyond before the Star Wars premier, Star Trek. That takes brass. I like that.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

There's going to be a lot of people that will be victims of the moment in this one just like TPM. But once you remove the rose colored glasses you will see the flaws this movie has as well as it's good things but all in all this movie is

Spoiler

an exact carbon copy of anh just with new characters.

but go and enjoy it for what it's meant to be 2 hours of fun and entertainment and lots of merchandising.

I see where you get that, but you're wrong here man. I was thinking the same thing at first, but it ironed out in a completely different manner.

There's connections to be made, most notably the antagonistic device, but for every similarity between TFA and ANH there are two reasons as to why they're different. Feel free to quiz me on this, I'll back it up.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

That was awesome. Like Watson said, plenty of telegraphed moments but none of them took away from the wow factor. In fact, the predictability may have made those moments more awesome in some weird way. Speaking as a casual at best fan of the series, I'm excited to go back and re-watch all of the movies and I can't wait for what's in store next. JJ knocked it out of the park and I'm pretty sure every single Star Wars fan is proud of this film.

Re: Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens

Saw the first showing tonight because my 10 year old has been counting down days until this movie released...my favorite Star Wars by far and it really isn't even close.

It was funny, it was action packed, and it was fun...the characters were fantastic and the acting was pretty good. All in all, wildly surpassed my expectations.
