Firstly, I don't think it's necessary to be hard on TFA. Seriously. Enough people are doing it on the internet, because it's cool to do so, it's shows you have opinions and aren't a sheep. But really it starts to become really nit picky, and soulless. Movie are primarily there to be enjoyed and have fun. Once one puts the critique hat on, and starts thinking too highly of herself/himself, criticising a lot of people's hard work, I think the problem start to be psychological. TFA was fun, and anyone who was expecting a masterpiece should watch other movies.
Secondly, his review is more than that; it's a deep look into the SW universe, and online stupidity. It's brilliantly well put together, and must have taken ages.
I was really happy with, because he avoided sounding like a bitter egomaniac who clearly should be writing or making films instead of being an internet critique. He even pokes fun at himself. It's great, I recommend it.

There are amazing moments in the new film ....effects were really good. lots of hard work. and original cast ...sooo cool. but it was far too much like new hope.
needed an original story!!

Well I had a great ride, and have no time to slag it off. The similarities were a conscious and arstitic decision, it was down to laziness. Anyone who thinks it was lazy possibly needs the help of a medical professional. It's clear all involved out their all.
Anyway! Not to your taste maybe, but it suited me down to a tee. It's not my fave SW film, but I really wish people would relax a bit.
Because freqy, we can find faults in every movie if we want to. I can understand voicing opinion after seeing a shit film, but it's not the right frame of mind to be in for every movie we go and see I think.
Just because it's Star Wars and lots of talented people were involved, doesn't mean they're not human.
Are people hard on you freqy? Do you feel constantly analysed, and judged?

dont worry dustyits been so long since i saw the review or the film anyway.
I liked the force awakens better the third time. when i bought it, because i knew when to turn away. all the rest of the film is great. fun film and has Han in it of course except he died so that sucked big time.

I bought a TFA Han Solo figurine the other day. It was on sale, and I thought it would be a cool one to have boxed up in 20 years, seeing as he won't be back.
I'd have a hell of an original SW toy collection today had my then stepfather not stolen, and sold them in the late eighties. He should have waited. The only toys I ever wanted apart from cuddly ones were SW.
Gosh I rem He Man figurines I had. I guess the last toys I had were MASK.
Oh, I did own a Boglin after that!

Okay, thoughts on TFA.. 8/10.
JJ nailed it direction-wise.. but the story is a bit slapped together. You can tell they took 6 pieces of concept art from an early script, then glued them together with duct tape.
Second act is a mess. Orange lady and snoke are too cartoony.. but I like Finn, Rey, BB-8 and how epic/important they made Luke. It's a decent start to the trilogy.
but yeah.. making snoke a cgi character was such a fuckin stupid idea. The main bad guy is a cgi cartoon character, overacted to hell by Andy Serkis.. all this hype about practical effects then they go and do that.
anyway
Blade Runner 2 looks decent but the weakness of the film could be the acting.. leto stinks

yes Jared Leto is a bit of a twat, hopefully he wont ruin the film
I really should watch TFA again I did enjoy it in the cinema even though I don't regard it as a classic, yes the little orange lady was a bad design, it was too cgi, why couldn't they just get a puppet like yoda I have no idea, there were other ones in the film

yes the force awakens is fun packed, I need to watch it again, I think Abraham did a surprisingly decent job of making it feel starwarsy and I don't think ive really liked anything he done before. My main complaint over all would probably be the CGI aliens

Yeah, I remember feeling sorry for him when he made his speech in Metz, because his wife or partner was hyper embarrassed, and wasn't at all supportive. I can't find the version I saw ages ago, a documentary I guess, but here is a link to part of the speech.

yes whats unusual is that he admits the possibility he might be mad, which isn't usual with such a complex delusion, my own theory is that he had a stroke or early onset dementia of some kind and really was experiencing something he perceived as real, or perhaps he was schizophrenia. As the old adage goes creativity and madness are often never far apart

It's R-rated, 40 mins longer than the studio would like and Francher wrote the story. Villenevenen is really good at slower paced stuff.. Deakins is the best at way he does etc.. I think this could end up being immense. Liking Leto and Bautista in the clips too

yes I really like bautista he looked like a great character with the tiny peevish glasses and 5 oclock shadow, yes roger deakins is brilliant, the run time is what I want from this type of film, so I'm caustiously optimistic I will at least enjoy it
