Sure they dropped the ball on little stuff like (how does rey and finn weild the lightsaber like they done it before and fight kylo). Kylo looked very promising villain in the beginning then he got soft towards the end. Overall it was very entertaining and can't wait for 8.

Obv 4-6 are the nuts. I did mean 1-3 are far better than this one. I cant believe any of u enjoyed it in the least. I really dont want to argue this tho, i cant believe how many ppl liked it / said it ok / said its better than 1-3

Afk

They were both a little on the darker side in both content and style but in a good way. So there's that to look forward to but on the other hand maybe after recycling the plot of episode IV they're just planning on recycling the plot of episode V. Of course I'll be watching either way.

I thought Brick was an awesome movie because the direction/script were so original despite attempting to be a modern take on old fashioned noir films. Personally I'm really excited to see what he does with Star Wars. Not sure if that direction style will mesh well with "family" movies though.

Prequels better ?? Like... Jar Jar Binks etc is better ? Hehe no way

Yeah, I also thought 1-3 were better. At least, storytelling wise they made way more sense. This new movie was a complete clusterfuck of fail all over the place.

thought it was entertaining but the more i think about it the retarded the story seems

just waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too many coincidences

also rey and finn using the light saber that competently was ridiculous.

i'd give it a decent 7/10

1-3 were abysmal.

happy new year everyone. good thing ep7 was 2015 and we can forget about it now

I liked the one with Darth Maul in it, probably because I was still a kid when it came out. I tried watching the StarWars movies after that one and my interest was not the same and just could not wait for the movie to finish.

I watched the latest one last week and just could not focus, have no idea wtf was happening.

Yeah I loved JarJar! (was 11 when it came out)

jedi sword fight scenes are laughable at best. if the japanese were given spaceships and light sabers during that time they mightve conquered the universe

you cant say with a straight face that the prequels are better... look at the phantom menace, it's filled with crap useless scenes and apparently it was a movie made to sell video games. theres the damn long race scene.. the war between jar jar people and droids is ridiculous, jar jar destroyed a lot of war machinery by being fucking clumsy. a 10 year old destroyed a space station by randomly clicking buttons and yelling "oooooaaaaaa". also the sheer amoutn of unnecessary digital effect makes it almost impossible to watch.

lol so many self proclaimed movie critics here... this movie was great. ;D

As always JJ abrams delivers and as the finishing credits rolled I smiled a little. Felt like I finally watched a starwars film after so so long.

Sure it was like a remastered version of a new hope but this movie as seen from a standalone perspective is really really good. You don't have to watch 6 movies and remember everything to enjoy this movie. But they also threw in references for people that would actually appreciate it..

A welcome and much needed reboot for the star wars franchise. WP Abrams.

also. this.

Luke Skywalker looks like he has been on that island for 10 years doing nothing but drinking malt liquor and can't even remember his own name anymore, or what a jedi is for that matter : )

I don't understand how anyone who has seen episodes 4-6 can like this movie. It just tried to leech everything good from them, and then everything new that was added wasn't interesting at all. I admit, the first 30 minutes were fun, but after that I just kinda got bored.

Everyone hates on 1-3, but episode 3 is much better than episode 7 based on emperor Palpatine's performance alone. It was dark, Anakin freaking killed a bunch of kids in jedi training on his way to becoming Vader. Episode 7 was so fast paced it wasn't even a story, it was just an excuse for action... if you like that kind of movie than I don't know what to say, I guess you will love most movies these days, I think they are superficial and boring as fuck.

How the fuck do people like BB8? He is way worse than R2D2. R2D2 is way funnier, he had his gimmicky shock laser that he would try to use. If you have any brains you can see BB8 is just made that way so that they can sell action figures of him to kids. I don't even know how he is a talking point, he is nothing special since so many AI/Droids in movies in the last 30 years.

Also, there is a big push in movies for feminism and PC agenda. It is OK for women to be stars. It is OK for people of any race to be stars obviously. But this one was just so transparent. How is any guy not annoyed by Rey's instant level 100 skills? Even women thought her character was stupid. Whats the point in making a movie where the dark side character is shown to be weak and incompetent from the start? I don't care if Rey is Luke's son and did training for a few years before and then got mind wiped. She could speak any language, fly and fix the Millenium Falcon better than Han Solo who had been using it for 40 years, use mind control, and defeat a former Skywalker apprentice and now Sith. The combination of her and Fin was as flat as it could get. The freaking light saber duels were so cut up I couldn't even tell what was happening. Every time somebody swung it was like they switched cameras. It was horrible.

The PC agenda is to get new blood in to watch the movie and make more money. More women + races = more money. Adding nothing to plot, and possibly hurting it. Annoying shit, I just like it when diversity happens naturally and it isn't force fed with an agenda.

Even though episode 1-2 sucked, I still have so much more respect for them because they were trying to be new. This was just hollywood money grabbing. I don't know, this movie made me feel old. Just having characters show up from old movies and saying "hey there that person is" and then having static transparent characters and pointless action was just weird.

If you go to any major college campus and have a contest for writing the plot for Star Wars 7, it would beat this easy. Sorry for the rant, but why give a movie a pass just because it is from the Star Wars franchise? Just fwiw, I thought movies like Ender's Game and Chronicles of Riddick are way more fun to watch. They have action, but also breaks where you can see what characters are really like.

I think this movie also broke star wars rules like never letting a non-jedi wield a light saber. I'm kind of smiling right now, because I am not too serious, I just think the movie was soooo bad and a total for profit 1000% in a way that felt slimy as fuck. I am just so confused how other people actually like the movie... I guess thats what made me rate this movie from like a 6/10 to a 5/10, because of my dislike for how much other people like it : )

Maybe it is also because I am starting to like weird Jake Gyllenhaal movies and more Indie films... I would say my tastes have changed too much... but I watched episodes 4 and 5 just a few weeks ago and still liked them : /

3 sucked too imo

Just to nitpick on your post, i watched eps 5 the other day and Solo uses Luke's lightsaber to open a "snow llama's" belly (or whatever that was iirc the name was Tonto lol). So that rule never existed.

finally got around to seeing it..

I would give it a 5.5/10. Like Song said, I thought Kylo was badass and a pretty awesome villain for the most part. I didn't like when he took his mask off and when he fights Rey at the end and gets beat. Was quite a buzzkill on what could've been a pretty great character.

The token black guy's character/storyline I thought was really terrible and kind've bogged down the movie imo. I got tired of him basically from the very beginning of the movie.

It would've been nice to reintroduce Luke early in the movie and give more information on what he's been doing. I guess they're planning on doing that for future movies.

Overall, I thought it was like appeasable to the masses and not complete shit, which is the goal I suppose. I expected more from JJ Abrams though. I will still go and see the future Star Wars movies but I definitely regretted seeing this instead of Hateful 8 or Creed

i just recently discovered there are official star wars comics now, Darth Vader one is pretty epic the story is between ep 4 and ep 5
