The Fish 8978 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Star Wars could, should and on occasion has been excellent. But.... because it's a little more ephemeral and very popular it's criticised by grumpy old men. Renton is just boring as fuck when it comes to movies. Bet he loved the Lady in the Van, and Pearl Harbour too, the vanilla shitshow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 34338 Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 I'm not criticising it because it's popular. I've twice tried to get through the last film - if my problem was that it was popular, I would never have started watching it. My problem is that the last one was shite.

I think some superhero movies are brilliant ways to spend time (Nolan's Batman, many of the Marvel films). Some are horrifically cobbled together attempts to cash in on better ones (the rest of the DC movies, Transformers, TMNT, the rest of the Marvel films). I do think the Mindy Project is terrible though, so I guess we can't have a sleepover and paint each others nails... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Kelly 1117 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 I thought it wasn't great at the start but got better. Ren isn't a great bad guy but in some ways I quite like that. In the other ones they were nails and knew what they were all about. Ren is a complete mess and I think there is a positive in that. I thought there was a few too many scenes that were done just for comedy and I wasn't keen on that. I'm happy having comedy in there as long as it's part of the story. I didn't really like Luke in it until the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 12757 Posted December 19, 2017 Share Posted December 19, 2017 Just back from Star Wars and enjoyed it in the main. Once it gets going, it's really good and moves at a great pace but the first 45 minutes/hour are pretty shaky at best. Prequel-level comedy, a really sloppy setting up of the plots and a tone that shifts from menace to slapstick. Feels like two scripts stapled together.

Dr Gloom 19784 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 I thought it was too long. Could have been darker too. I was hoping it was going to be the empire of this trilogy. Not easy keeping everyone happy. I’m surprised st the backlash it seems have had with fanboys but there were some odd moments in it the casino sequence - a strange distraction of a side story. Why introduce the master code breaker character if they were just going to go for the next code breaker they happen to meet in a prison cell. Odd. Snope - after all the build up, the new dark power behind the curtain turned out to be a bit lame. Kylo Ren, who has already shown himself to be flawed with weaknesses, was able to see him off. kylo ren, who can stop blaster bolts in mid air, for some reason struggles to overcome some of snopes guards. Luke milking an alien - just why? the shirtless kylo ten sequence and the finn’s relationship with Rose, concluding with that awkward kiss - both felt a bit forced. All that said. I still enjoyed it. It was just too long. 8/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 5899 Posted December 22, 2017 Share Posted December 22, 2017 Am I the only one who has zero interest in Star Wars and Super hero movies? Started watching Baz Lurhmans Romeo and Juliet last night. I thought it was pretty good and the soundtrack is decent too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
