Mar 9, 2016 I'm trying to decide if I should drop 199.99 on this FX Kylo Ren lightsaber, I bought my first one about a decade ago when E3 came out, a FX Blue Anakin Skywalker lightsaber, still works to this day.
Mar 14, 2016 not gonna lie i think this is the most overrated movie of the decade . the more i think about this movie the more i hate it. cant believe people watched this bad IV copy 5 times in the cinema
Mar 24, 2016 Just watched it. I thought the first half was pretty cool. The small village massacre and Rey's intro worked really well. That first hour goes by like nothing. The way it barrels forward is great, but you get the feeling they're packing too much stuff into the film to let anything breathe. I watched some of the original trilogy last year and the 70s were so willingly patient. After the first hour, it just kind of devolves into "REMEMBER THIS xD". I'm not a huge fan so I just kind of roll my eyes at callbacks and crowd pleasing jokes and recycled plotlines. Anyway, Oscar Isaac was completely wasted. Please k--- him so he can go back to making interesting movies. Adam Driver gets the only fully developed character and does a great job with it. Daisey Ridley is likeable, but holy s--- the Mary Sue stuff was all true. They could have easily written the plot so she didn't handwave any obstacle in her way, but d---. Even if Luke was puppeteering her with the Force or whatever possible bs retcon, she still was an expert pilot, Force prodigy, badass combat specialist, and f----- up Kylo Ren after he was setup as the most overpowered character in the series. Give me a break guys. Overall I'd say it's as good as something like Guardians of the Galaxy, though I never quite understood the pedestal that was put on. I'm actually looking forward to see some of the stand alone pictures. I kind of wish J.J. Abrams was handling one of those because he was on the ball with The Force Awakens. Most of the problems I had with it were all writing and stemmed from launching a franchise with a rich history. Oh, and some random stuff. Did anybody else find it a little campy or was it inappropriate of me to burst out laughing at Harrison Ford's face when he got stabbed? Also, those wipes and other transitions in the editing were really jarring. I kind of liked the feel they gave it though.
