Re: It's kind of hilarious how divided opinion is on this movie... *Spoilers* Duke Send a noteboard - 20/12/2017 04:43:10 AM

From the article "The plot picks up where director J.J. Abrams left off in 2015's The Force Awakens." But then what happens is they essentially went 'oh, all those interesting questions about Rey, Snoke, Luke, etc, nah, burn it all to the ground. We don't care about anything previously done.'

I have to agree with Mark Hamill's original opinion on Luke in this movie, where he essentially told the director he hated everything he did with the character. The movie could be somewhat fixed with a 5% rewrite, made much better with 25%, or even better with 75% rewrite.

That's about the only thing that is NOT spoiled by viewing the original trilogy Cannoli - 18/12/2017 11:51:30 PM 607 Views
It opened tonight. Just got back from seing it random thoughts - 15/12/2017 04:57:22 AM 878 Views
I found it very underwhelming to be honest. Legolas - 15/12/2017 06:57:39 PM 877 Views
But you don't like anything..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 15/12/2017 08:14:39 PM 257 Views
I like plenty of stuff. The latest Thor movie, for instance. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:33:39 AM 539 Views
But this story was not only halfway decent, it was the best Star Wars story ever! Cannoli - 18/12/2017 11:52:35 PM 541 Views
very minor spoilers random thoughts - 15/12/2017 08:43:44 PM 537 Views
Big spoilers. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:55:05 AM 672 Views
I think the two go hand it hand (still spoliers) random thoughts - 16/12/2017 01:43:00 AM 585 Views
Fair point. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:42:54 PM 632 Views
Thank you. I was looking for a breakdown but that tells me enough. Tom - 18/12/2017 01:45:41 AM 585 Views
Agreed with everything you wrote here. The Shrike - 18/12/2017 12:22:56 PM 563 Views
Well, I hope they are. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:32:29 PM 560 Views
The story being pretty weak? Roland00 - 15/12/2017 10:03:51 PM 603 Views
Well, in the computer games, for one. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:29:31 AM 542 Views
I have mixed feelings about it. The Shrike - 18/12/2017 12:18:05 PM 567 Views
"The middle of a trilogy is usually the weakest" ... except The Empire Strikes Back Tom - 18/12/2017 02:45:26 PM 508 Views
Yes. Both the good and evil camps are shallow imitations of the original series. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:59:14 PM 496 Views
I found it confusing, terrible and kind of boring *spoilers* AgentApple - 16/12/2017 10:41:34 PM 574 Views
I very much agree with this review AgentApple - 16/12/2017 11:06:55 PM 634 Views

The Jedi were slave owners random thoughts - 18/12/2017 01:42:19 PM 533 Views
Yet they still managed to create a pretty great political system Tom - 18/12/2017 02:46:54 PM 540 Views
They weren't the owners, that was the Republic/Senate Cannoli - 19/12/2017 01:38:05 PM 539 Views
stop making excuses for the slave masters random thoughts - 19/12/2017 03:22:54 PM 460 Views
They are no different than Eisenhower, MacArthur or Pershing, all of whom led slave soldiers Cannoli - 20/12/2017 12:09:33 AM 545 Views
draftees are not biologically modified slaves random thoughts - 20/12/2017 02:49:33 PM 530 Views
No, they're just ill-prepared slaves Cannoli - 21/12/2017 11:34:02 AM 545 Views
No the Jedi sucked random thoughts - 21/12/2017 04:18:48 PM 568 Views

I got up and walked out. *spoilers* aerocontrols - 18/12/2017 07:48:42 PM 595 Views
I'm confused. Legolas - 18/12/2017 08:19:48 PM 550 Views
You may have walked out a bit early... *NM* Ghavrel - 21/12/2017 09:41:00 PM 264 Views
It's kind of hilarious how divided opinion is on this movie... Legolas - 18/12/2017 07:53:12 PM 694 Views
That would explain much *NM* AgentApple - 19/12/2017 07:15:36 AM 318 Views
I really liked it as a deconstruction of Star Wars. Ghavrel - 19/12/2017 10:34:59 PM 635 Views
You're going to have to elaborate on that one... Legolas - 19/12/2017 11:22:01 PM 685 Views

It is JJ Abrams and the idiot critics love him random thoughts - 20/12/2017 02:51:06 PM 556 Views
Abrams didn't do this film. Rian did. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/12/2017 09:46:21 PM 283 Views
It's not real opinion that's divided. Tom - 20/12/2017 02:59:59 PM 741 Views
Did anyone else think... *spoilers* Duke - 20/12/2017 05:04:44 AM 1007 Views
