Dec 18, 2015 **SPOILERS BELOW** My thoughts on the movie. I was so hype when the "In a galaxy far, far away..." started. And I liked the character introductions scenes, vintage Star Wars showing the hard working hero that does what she needs to scrape by. Finn was an alright guy too. [FONT=, Open Sans, ,sans-serif, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif]Kylo Ren tho, d--- he was cool. His scene on Jakku where he takes Poe was amazing. But why the h--- did he turn from a potential top 5 character in Star Wars to an insecure Severus Snape as soon as he took off the mask. Dude was f---ing a confused little b----, and no matter how hard I tried, there was no taking him seriously after that. I wanted to slap some confidence in the kid, it was pathetic. I have never done a 180 mid movie on a character [/FONT]like that, ever. Beyond that, how does a storm trooper, who works sanitation and has only been on ONE combat mission his entire life even hit you with a light sabre. Granted you have minimal training, but you have the force. HOW!? And the Han Solo/Kylo Ren scene was one of the most cliche, predictable, and corny scenes in the entire Star Wars series. And I didn't like the dude who played Kylo Ren either, but you could have given that role to Tom Hardy and it still would have been underwhelming. They just wrote the character terribly, they did the same thing with the older Anakin in the prequel trilogy. But what bothered me the most was the parallels from the New Hope. It seemed so lazy to me, I felt the same way when I went to see the Hangover 2. I don't know, I want to like this bad enough that I'ma see it again (but this time in 2D, 3D was miserable). I was surprised when my feelings towards the movie weren't echoed here (or anywhere else). I might be alone in not liking it, which is surprising, because I even liked the prequel trilogy lol. I don't know, let me know if I'm missing something with the movie.
Dec 18, 2015 exactly. this plus the s-----y Kylo Ren character is what left me chapped when I left the theatre last night f--- man
Dec 18, 2015 Completely agree with @Mike Tyson on Ren. Went from badass to dork SO fast with the removal of his helmet. And the fact that he struggled against Fin, a failed Storm Trooper, and went on to lose to Rey, a complete newbie to the force, is laughable. Still enjoyed the movie tho. It's just nice to be back in the galaxy, and even with its faults, Force Awakens s----s all over the prequels.
Dec 18, 2015 Lol, spoilers bro.. But nah... brooding, aching to belong, wants to blow all the forum alphas
Dec 18, 2015 i think the movie was trying to imply he was already injured before those two fights outside.. i noticed he kept grabbing his side also, i guess rey has more force mojo?
Dec 18, 2015 Yeah, but the force still takes years to master. Ren has spent most of his life with it I'm assuming, and yet he gets s--- on by the chick who didn't even know she had force abilities until 20 minutes prior to their fight? He was from when Chewie shot him, but I still feel like Fin shoulda been a cakewalk for him. And yeah I get that Rey must be naturally strong with the force, but like I said above, it doesn't just come to you like that.
Dec 18, 2015 @Riley yeah i mean... its star wars. sometimes it just doesnt add up hah. predictions (spoiler heavy): -han isnt rly dead -ren will eventually become good -rey is either rens kid sister (who they hid from after he went nuts) ....or lukes daughter.
Dec 18, 2015 This whole narrative that you have going about me sucking up to people is patently false. Get a new angle. Your nerdy Star Wars jokes don't impress me either.
Dec 18, 2015 not sucking up to people. sucking them off. because you want to be them. @WPG is either ur vader or ur han -- take ur pick bro @Narsh is chewy (edit get it)
Dec 18, 2015 Yeah no, you're totally right, and that's why Ren didn't ruin the movie for me at all. I really did love it.
Dec 18, 2015 Working in a hospital doesn't suit me. My late father talked about wishing he'd been a pharmacist before and my grandmother has relied on medication my whole life. I feel pretty strongly about it.
