Quoted:
... she did let me play the Imperial Death March in the delivery room when our son was being born...
To be fair, she wasn't in much of a position to put up any resistance. And it did seem fitting that our boy would enter the world with appropriate musical accompaniment. For the first year of his life, that track always calmed him down and made him smile. Now he demands Hank Williams Jr.'s "Country Boy Can Survive" as bedtime music. At least he already knows the answer to 9mm vs. 45 ACP. |

Quote HistoryQuote HistoryIf NPR had something to do with Luke's training, I suddenly understand why so many things went wrong in the original trilogy. Poor kid was from a backwoods world and didn't know better than to listen to the liberal radio propaganda network? |

I saw both Avengers in 3d and to be honest, it felt like the 3d distracted you from seeing details other then what was being shoved in your face in 3d. I didn't get that feeling at all with TFA. |

After seeing the movie a second time, I'm calling it: Rey is Luke's daughter.
The signs other than her force sensitivity: 1. Maz saying to Rey "that was Luke Skywalker's light saber and his fathers before him. Now it calls to you." 2. Luke looked like he was standing over a grave marked by a stone that blended in very well with the other rocks. Probably a spouse or lover's grave. Personally, I think Luke was getting it on with one of his students, had a kid, had to hide her, dropped her off on Jakku, then Kylo Ren massacred her and the rest of the Jedis in training. He blames himself for her death and Kylo Ren's fall to the dark side so he bails. |

Lots of entertaining reviews on IMDb.
Sad but true. When the opening credits filled the screen (Episode VII... blah blah) I was already grinding my teeth because the plot sounded idiotic. Then the huge star destroyer filled the screen. The fun bit is that the star destroyer had some sort of antenna or whatever at the front and it looked liked the ship was showing the middle finger towards the viewers. I have to congratulate the film makers as that was pretty much how the film worked from that point forward. 1) A droid has important information that must be delivered to the good guys (Episode IV, anyone?) 2) so the bad guys hunt for the droid on a desert planet (IV) 3) Storm troopers raid a village, killing everyone (IV) 4) A girl is captured by the bad guys and the good guys rush to the base to the rescue. (IV) 5) The girl and the boy have a friend zone relationship through the film (Ep IV, Luke & Leia, wouldn't be surprised to learn that they are siblings in Episode IX) 6) The stormtroopers, elite soldiers of the bad guys, still can't hit a barn door. On the other hand, the good guys always hit, even when they use a weapon for the first time in their life 7) Supreme Leader Snoke = Emperor with a silly name 8) The bad guys have a magnificent new weapon that can destroy planets (Ep IV) 9) They use it to destroy a planet loyal to the rebels (IV) 10) The weapon has shields that can be destroyed by going down on the planet and disabling the shield generator (VI) 11) The epic villain wears a mask that distorts his voice (IV) and sadly, looks better with the mask on than without it. 12) The good guys can only destroy the weapon with an attack by X-Wings on the exact target (IV) 13) The X-Wings have to fly in a tight trench in order to reach their target (IV) The screen writers had absolutely no new ideas to show for their money. A bunch of monkeys could have written better dialogue. A 1st grader could have made a plot that had less holes in it. The special effects were pretty much of the same quality as in the first Star Wars movie that was released 1977. I'd expect something way better in 2015. http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2488496/reviews?start=10 |

All war movies: Some people disagreed so they fought. Weapons were used. People died. Someone won. Point I'm making is those similarities don't bother me. The films take place in the same universe, a lot of the same characters, so naturally similarities will exist. |

The critics were just as positive about it as the fans and they aren't generally ga-ga about SFX. |

Lets be fair though, when you look at the Star Wars movies as actual movies and not just Star Wars movies they are actually not very good. The acting was always bad and the stories were always shallow. That being said though, this is Star Wars and they get judged by a different standard. |

You can't compare it to, say, Ben-Hur, or The Seven Samurai, or North By Northwest. You have to compare it to how well it measures up to TESB (Which is widely regarded as the pinnacle of Star Wars films) |

It felt like Star wars, but didn't. I kind of lean toward it was a mistake to use the originals after such a long gap. In Starlog or something during the original trilogy, Lucas' original plan was prequel trilogy and sequal trilogy.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
While all that stuff is true, similar arguments could be made about a lot of other movies and other things. All war movies: Some people disagreed so they fought. Weapons were used. People died. Someone won. Point I'm making is those similarities don't bother me. The films take place in the same universe, a lot of the same characters, so naturally similarities will exist.

Will you still be saying that when the next movie (VIII) features the following? ~Kylo hunts down the Resistance and puts the Resistance on the run (aka Battle of Endor) ~Rey trains with Luke (aka Luke goes to Dagobah to train under Yoda) ~Somebody gets captured by Kylo and is used as a lure for Rey (aka Leia and Han getting captured and Luke coming to the rescue at Cloud City) ~Rey loses the fight with Kylo but survives and escapes (Vader vs Luke at Cloud City) 
I actually really liked Episode VII, but while watching it (today), it definitely felt like a rehashed IV. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I think as the months and years go on, people are going to realize how shallow and terrible this movie is, once the "omg graphics!" Wears off and folks really watch it. It's going to be great to see the Lego remakes and the plinkett review though. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: Quoted: The only one good thing in TFA is that it makes the prequels decent flicks. You're stoned. Manos: the Hands of Fate couldn't make the prequels decent flicks. TFA is ten times the film any of the prequels were. I think as the months and years go on, people are going to realize how shallow and terrible this movie is, once the "omg graphics!" Wears off and folks really watch it. It's going to be great to see the Lego remakes and the plinkett review though. I think as the months and years go on, people will continue to like it and you'll realize that your opinion is in a very small minority. |
