Star Wars Episode VII

I saw it tonight, hated it.

 

Lead male role: Wimp.

Lead female role: progressed too quickly, was insanely op.

Lead bad guy: Cried, took off his mask, looked like a wimp, was a wimp.

 

Too many cry scenes, not enough fight scenes. 

 

What did you guys think? (put spoilers in spoilers plz)

Not enough lightsabers.

Nor explosions.

Nor legitimate story.

Also, I was going to spoil something here but I didn’t want anyone to cry before they even watched the movie

I like a new part (nearly 8/10), i’ve known the main spoiler since summer but it’s sad anyway.

I like that it almost isn’t connected with a “new” trilogy. I don’t like that it is not continuation, it’s restart, literal retelling of a New Hope. I extremely like Andy Serkis as a main villain. About Kylo, he is crybaby intentionally, he (and his sword) should become serious villain in the next part. 

I liked it too, you can’t always stick with the old things.

It was not perfect, agree. But there will be Episode VIII and we can see how much it improves.

That the main villain is a crybaby sucks but it makes sense since story stuff (no spoiler).

Lightsabers… there were no lightsaber expert and it was obviously that we would not get this

(Although this was the most epic part of any Star Wars episode in my opinion)

 

But I’m always open for new things.

I greatly enjoyed the new Star Wars movie. The only downfall I found with it was that the plot was fairly shallow. But aside from that, it was well executed, and done beautifully.

I really enjoyed the movie. It was a good Abrams movie and a really good Star Wars movie. IMO it was a perfect start of a new Trilogy. I agree with Dirk about the plot, but the Disney will make a whole new series of SW movies so I hope with the extra stories they will answer a lot of questions, and at the end we’ll get something like the Marvel universe.

I agree with Gizmo in that it’s a decent start to another trilogy. However, the movie’s got a few problems I can’t ignore:

 

  1. Too much reuse of old tactics. Like, I get it, it’s fanservice. But seriously? A BIGGER Death Star analogue with almost the exact same structural weakness? It’s like the Imperial Remnant didn’t learn anything about doomsday device building improvement from how the Rebels blew up the first two Death Stars.
  2. Where the xxxx are the Republic/Resistance’s capital ships? I may have missed this in the movie, but having just a motley crue crew of ONLY X WINGS storm an entire planet is absurd. They need heavy fire support.
  3. Also, where the xxxx are the Y wings - y’know, the fighters that can actually bomb installations while X wings provide fighter cover for them?
  4. Don’t they have maps of the galaxy? Why can’t they just match BB-8’s map segment to a known map of the galaxy? They obviously knew EXACTLY which planet to go to to find Luke - it’s not like he was living on Zonama Sekot or anything (+10 points to anyone who gets this reference in 5 seconds).
  5. Not enough lightsaber battles. I know, it was between a Sith and an untrained Jedi/stormtrooper, but I wanted to see moar pzzepwzzzpzzKRRRRRKPZZpzzzaw. Personal taste.

 

IMO this movie was kind of a mixed bag for me. Again, it’s a decent start. but JJ Abrams kinda fell short this time around.

 

EDIT: Here’s some fun cameos - some of which I noticed but others I was like “whoa”:

I gave it a 5 out of 10. It was extremely shallow and overly simple. A lot of people i have talked to said it was horrible. I rate it below the phantom menace because the phantom menace had lots of lightsaber fights. I mean it was action packed, despite some stupid stuff. This wasn’t quite boring.

 

And the ending… how luke dies from the superweapon. gawd. 

 

haha i wonder who i will troll with this.

+1 xD

It was pretty okay, I think. Had a couple of gripes regarding some plot holes, but all in all, it was a good movie.

 

As a side note, let me just say that Star Wars “physics” never fails to amaze me.

It was a StarWars reboot :slight_smile: a good one.

  1. Yeah, i doubt the entire rebel fleet was resting at the republic planets (the republic fleet got destroyed there, but wasnt resistances ships right?).

  2. In the attack of the clones theres an erased planet from the archives (Kamino), probably luke/someoneelse erased the registry of that zone so it woulnt match. There are plenty of galaxies and each one is enormeous, no wonder that “hole” got unnoted for some years. Also consider priorities are rebuilding and working on diplomacy, not exploring and expanding.

  3. That sith had low lightsable participation, i believe next movie will have a lot more action here.

I liked it :slight_smile:

 

Waiting for the next one!

so we gonna get 3 or moar movies this time?

glasses are no reason to not watch a movie in 3d. I know enough people with glasses(me included) who just put the 3d glasses over the normal
