Seriously though, Boyega doesn't really count. I liken him more to Seal than I do Tyrone who drives around the dumpster banger.
Very happy with it as well. Also, NO LENS FLARES FROM JJ!!!

No one's said it isn't a "fun, aesthetically pleasing flick", but that's a given when you just remake A New Hope. Chris Stuckmann on twitter has a poll for most enjoyed: Fury Road or Force Awakens and FA is up like 67 to 33. It's like Abrams has gotten away with highway robbery
Nailed it.
This is 100% how I felt about the character Kylo Ren.
It all felt apart for me when he took off his mask the first time. Dude looks like a poser got with daddy issues that make Jack Shepard look like an ultra alpha.
I also thought the bit about Fin and Rai mastering and knowing how to wield a lightsaber far fetch. I dont buy that just because they could sense the force that that was enough to teach them everything.
But it wasn't only that. The movie does a poor job at making sense of . Rai, without knowing how to fly ships is able to learn on the fly and manuver better than Han Solo. Whattttttttttttttttt
I enjoyed the movie for what it is but definitely doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I think they catered too much to the younger audience who dont notice these types of blunders.
Hopefully since JJ won't be having much to do with these films going forward that the directing and writing improve going forward.
Overall, 2 thumbs up. I was entertained.
Fury Road>>>The Force Awakens...this we can agree on.
WTF was he doing pounding his injured stomach? That was ing gay.
That's something like from the planet of the apes.
I will give you the benefit of the doubt on Rai. She probably had a sense on how to wield a blade.
But that still doesn't explain how she is able to be acrobatic with it. By the end she's dancing and cutting trees with it like it had been a part of her all her life. lol
And I call bull on Finn.
He didn't have tthat type of training. He said it himself in the movie. That's why he was always saying where is a blaster etc. Shooting does not = being great at sword fighting.
They kind of ed up there.
Saw the movie on Thursday and the first thing I did was text the spoilers to this guy who refused to pay me some money I loaned him. Literally told me "I'll pay you when I feel like it." His profile picture is him nerding out on the Star Wars display at Disneyworld.
5/10
Could have take a a nice nap but seat did not recline enough.
Amateurish acting. The silly arguing and cow eyes between Rei and Emo Black Guy that was supposed to have some romantic implications. Lame.
The overdone role of Hans Solo, everyone being "kid" and the forced "seen it all before" at ude and bloviating.
Qs. Was Raisin Head the top evil guy on the throne supposed to be related to / same species as Bar Owner older chick who wore desert bike riding goggles?
STAR WARS ACTORS WHO HAVE DISSED THE FRANCHISE

Common theme is how little effort was spent on acting talent, instead overuse of SFX.
While there was a bit of improvement in this latest one, not much.
Apparently not to millions of easily influenced normies
Ewan Mcgregor was featured in this movies. (Voice)
Guinness, too.
Someone said Daniel Craig was a stormtrooper?
My boy Alec Guinness. The dude was a David Lean regular and 99% of people know him solely for Obi Wan
A lot of similarities in style and feel as the original trilogy, from the scene breaks to the Nazi references with the First Order, which for the most part was cool to see. But also a lot of similarities with the storyline to A New Hope, which kind of made things predictable and stale. I thought the movie started out pretty strong then got weaker as it went along. Felt a lot of the same things with some of the potholes mentioned. Harrison Ford helped the other characters, but the movie probably could have done without Leia. I also agree that the death was anticlimactic and that Kylo is a little . All that said, I still enjoyed it for what it was and it was leaps and bounds better than the prequel trilogy.
Rey sounded exactly like Keira Knightly. I have a feeling that Abrams will depart from the literature that's already been written and do ented about the family tree, because so many suggestions that she could be Luke's daughter. I wouldn't be surprised if that's the case at all and for Abrams to make up a new storyline about that.
Yes, Fury Road is a masterpiece. Force Awakens is damn good but still has its flaws.
I don't get where people are making it out like Finn is some master with the lightsaber. He got his ass beat by a stormtrooper with an electrified club, getting bailed out by Han & Chewie. Then he nearly got killed by Kylo Ren. The fight lasted about 5 seconds before he got pinned on the tree, then he got one lucky strike in before Ren finished him off. He was pretty godawful with the lightsaber if you ask me.
He's a fully functioning human with some idea of how a sword works. Did you really expect him to turn the saber on and immediately chop his own off?
C'mon, Finn is black. He's been wielding a sword his entire life.
You didn't notice that Rai used a staff at the beginning of the movie?
The item used by the other trooper was astonishingly sword-like. One would presume that a stormtrooper would train with various weapons, as I did in the US military. Finn was a combat-trained soldier, raised since his childhood to do one thing, and that was fight.
Both had some existing combat skills.
I think Rey s trained as a kid, and Kylo unlocked it trying to mind read her.
I think Finn has Jedi in him which is why he was naturally good at handling all the weapons. The force was influencing him just like it did Luke prior to Obi wan. Is why he was able to handle the light saber without hurting himself, but if you watch, he just hacking away which is why Ren defeats him at easily.
Also, Ren was arrogant going against Finn like the predator vs Arnold at the end. He wasn't using the force.
Never been into Star Wars or much sci fiction action stuff.
Im glad people enjoyed it though. Got a lot of friends who were quite happy with it.
People enjoying their holidays even more is good stuff.
what a waste of 5$. Where do I start? It seems like I was watching Star Wars: transformers/avengers. Mindless action, with a weak story line, ty acting, weak bad guy, plot holes, etc. It was just a really bad star wars movie altogether! Like TFM episode 1 bad! I actually think CW & ROTS were better than this garbage. Where is Irvin Kershner when you need him? Please Disney, give this franchise to Del Toro or peter jackson! man, I'll even take a steven speilberg star wars movie. Jew boy should just stick to star trek por favor!
