Phillies Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Just saw it last night. Honestly it was somewhat entertaining but the plot was ridiculous. -1 Quote
Raptorpat Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I feel like the plot was kind of the result of a complex corporate algorithm for what a modern star wars movie should be. They wanted to play it as safe as possible, but the end result was that it kind of didn't have all that much soul to it. Quote

And the next movie doesn't seem promising either. Quote
Cau Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I liked it, but I didn't love it or think it was amazing or anything. Better than episodes 1-3 at least, though. Quote

Sandstone Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 All I could think is.... even Darth Vader get's edgelord fanboys now... Quote
Cau Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I thought episode 3 was well done. Personally I though each one was worst than that last, although they did bring in more good characters. Quote
Sandstone Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Also, I love the title of the next Episode in the main series..... it's like.... NO REALLY GUYS THIS IS THE LAST ONE THIS TIME WE PROMISE OK THNX BYE Quote
Cau Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 All I could think is.... even Darth Vader get's edgelord fanboys now... I can admit that Kylo Ren was literally the worst thing ever though. Quote
Sandstone Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 He was like Anakin Skywalker's edgyness on crack and meth, and without any reasonable justification for it... Like did your fucking mom get raped and die? Were you sold into slavery? Did you get tricked by a master sith? Did anything bad happen to you at all? Nope.... just really upset rich kid that needed to be edgy cause fuck Mom and Dad for giving me a good life and ensuring my freedom in the galaxy. Quote
Sandstone Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 And the fucking name is like sci-fi version of "Kyler" which just irks me for some reason I dunno why but I can't stand these like new age mashup names. Quote
Raptorpat Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Personally I though each one was worst than that last, although they did bring in more good characters. I liked the aspect of Rogue One where they brought back prequel characters and locations in the original trilogy setting, because it's not Coruscant's or Jimmy Smit's fault the prequels were bad so we shouldn't pretend they don't exist. That being said, the obvious criticism of Rogue One is that it's entire purpose was to show classic star wars characters, settings and iconography, and that its new characters and plot were completely flat. Or put another way, their only goal was to power the doomsday machine powered by neckbeard nostalgia jism. Quote
Sandstone Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 It's also going to be the first in a series of what Disney Lucas is calling Star Wars extended universe franchise. So we will likely be seeing more of these peripheral movies made for various things and supported more in the cinema cannon. Quote
enad Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I've only watched it once, as the Iron Law of Abrams states that you enjoy JJ Abrams' movies less with every subsequent viewing. Quote
Danger_Jules Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Not as good as The Empire Strikes Back, but better than Rogue One and the prequels. Quote
enad Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I never watched Rogue One because I found the premise uninteresting. Quote
GunStarHero Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 Didn't care for Force Awakens. I mean it was really just a retelling of A New Hope in a lot of ways, and not that that's a bad thing I just didn't enjoy it all the more because of that. Felt like Rogue One was better, honestly, but maybe I just really enjoyed seeing Donnie Yen's character. Quote
Top Gun Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 The Force Awakens was essentially A New Hope remade, but it was at least entertaining, and far superior to anything in the prequels. I'm hoping that after convincing everyone they know how to make a Star Wars movie that The Last Jedi will be more adventurous. Rogue One was just terrific. Quote

Yes it was a New Hope remade and entertaining. None of those facts make it a good movie. Quote
Phillies Posted September 10, 2017 Author Posted September 10, 2017 not enough futa Time for you to leave. Quote
blueraven1999 Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I loved it, but I'm a big fan of J.J. Abrams because of the new Star Trek films so that's why. Quote
bnmjy Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 I thought it was awfully boring. Just a bunch of cameos for nostalgic purposes. They couldn't make the token black guy more of a token black guy if they tried . . . Quote
Danger_Jules Posted September 10, 2017 Posted September 10, 2017 This would have made Episode VII so much better. Quote
DragonSinger Posted September 11, 2017 Posted September 11, 2017 I thought TFA was all right but definitely preferred Rogue One because that movie was a really good compliment to the original Star Wars movies. Quote
Raptorpat Posted September 12, 2017 Posted September 12, 2017 I've only watched it once, as the Iron Law of Abrams states that you enjoy JJ Abrams' movies less with every subsequent viewing. You'll be glad to know who is helming Episode IX Quote
MasqueradeOverture Posted September 19, 2017 Posted September 19, 2017 I'm hoping that after convincing everyone they know how to make a Star Wars movie that The Last Jedi will be more adventurous. It's from the guy who did Brick, Looper, and the Ozymandias episode of Breaking Bad, plus the cast was apparently shocked and confused to what was happening with their characters after reading the script. I'm expecting Empire Strikes Back level shit. Quote
Distortedreasoning Posted September 22, 2017 Posted September 22, 2017 i fell asleep on it. i hate to say but it was boring. Quote
Master-Debater131 Posted October 8, 2017 Posted October 8, 2017 It sucked. They threw a whole bunch of stuff at us but really it was the same exact thing. At some point they are going to have to stop using "blow up the death star" as a central plot device. Quote
