Happy Face 29 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 A lot of Parky's points are valid but I still enjoyed the movie a lot Parky had made his mind up before seeing it though, so he had to emphasise the bits that confirmed his prejudice.

Park Life 70 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 (edited) Parky had made his mind up before seeing it though, so he had to emphasise the bits that confirmed his prejudice. I wanted it to be good. Some of it was good but a lot of it was a farrago. The money they spent and the talent they have available it boggles the mind they can't get a by the numbers film right. Disney will wring the last bits of magic out of the biggest franchise of all time and throw it on the scrap heap of history. It's already clear. The schedule of releasing one film every other year for 10 years is too much. Edited December 18, 2016 by Park Life Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aimaad22 3442 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 They've managed to make it work as a whole though, and I think the disappointment that was Episode 7 has a lot to do with better reviews for this one. I do agree that Disney will ruin it in the end though, from what we've seen so far. At most they should filmed 3 more titles and wrapped it up with episode 9.

Kid Dynamite 5900 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 They've paid $4,000,000,000 for the franchise. They are going to milk it for decades! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Kelly 1117 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 Parky's score of 6.5/10 seems a bit high for the the rest of the review. I agree about Luna, don't think he is up to leading a film like this. The lack of a Ford standard personality will, along with the Director Krennic not being the fearsome antagonist of previous episodes mean that despite this having a lot going for it, it's not going to be right up there with the best of the franchise.

catmag 336 Posted December 18, 2016 Share Posted December 18, 2016 I've been advised not to take the nipper. He's gutted How old is he DG? MF - I shouldn't have even entertained the fact that it may have been too intense for him, he LOVED it. "There are lots of battles but you don't see blood but you do see explosions with people next to them. Other than that, it's brilliant. Oh and it's a little bit talky when there could have been more action - I'd say maybe half of it is talk, talk, talk." Move over Kermode. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took him to see force awakens last Christmas and he loved it. A mate told the mrs that this one is more grown up and might scare him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get the kid taken, it's Star Wars ffs. Luke Skywalker gets his fucking hand chopped off by his own dad in Empire, but I bet you got taken to see it and haven't been unduly affected.

Gemmill 34382 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 What's more, you should be kicking the shite out of your mate for saying your son is too soft to watch Star Wars.

Just reminded me that I saw Death Wish 2 in a video bar in Benidorm when I was about 8. I think there's a gang rape scene within the first 5 minutes.

Dr Gloom 19801 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 He's seen all of them so far. I'm inclined to agree but a mate I know who worked on the new film said it's a lot darker than the others. He couldn't tell me what happened at the end without spoiling it for me so I'm going to watch it first before deciding whether to take the nipper along Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't cave to peer pressure from Gemmill, he's not the one who'll have to deal with the emotional fall out (if any) and the possibility that watching this film could turn your child over to the dark side in the future Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 19801 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I actually had to turn the end off of the final prequel.

Alex 30367 Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 My uncle let me watch an American werewolf in London when I was 5. I struggled to sleep for months I saw that when I was really young too. I think I found that more disturbing than stuff that's pure violence.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted December 20, 2016 Share Posted December 20, 2016 Watched Deepwater Horizon, I remember reading about the oil spill at the time and the effect on the environment but didn't realise how catastrophic the incident was. Scary. BP got off lightly aswell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rayvin 4963 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Rogue One was, mercifully, a good film. Felt much more like 'Starwars' than TFA did. I now have some hope for the franchise again. Would probably give it 8.5/10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howmanheyman 26746 Posted December 21, 2016 Share Posted December 21, 2016 Took the youngest to watch Rogue one, thought it was OK, nothing more but once I'd worked out the time frame it did enhance the film, (I'd not seen nor read anything about R1 so it was a surprise). The ending was pretty good and blended well into what it was meant to. (Trying not to give anything away to those who haven't seen it). Overall, better than the last one which was OK.
