I hope he fucks Rey, he deserves it after doing all that shit

please tell me this is a meme you can hate niggers all you want but finn was the best new character by far kylo ren was aids literally an edgy teen.
>>
>well written

only compared to rey, who learns to jedi mind trick without training and fucking destroys kylo with no training.

what a stupid piece of shit flick.
>>
>>63742368
Poe=Finn>BB8>Cux>Phasma>>>>>>>Shit>>>>>>>>>>>>>Rey>>>>Kylo Ren

Poe feels like he could be in the OT, Finn should have been the main character since his story is much more interesting than Rey's, and Rey is a fucking Mary Sue of galatic proportions.

Kylo is the shittitest villain the series has ever had, and the fact that Luke goes into hiding because of him is a disrespect to the OT

He is the new Han Solo basically.

He's just a mary sue version of Wedge

Finn, Poe and Kylo all based as fuck. Definitely Adam Driver the best though.

boyega and him working together in the beginning was the best part of the movie imo. good synergy, felt pretty star wars and isaac is charismatic as fuck.
>>
>>63742725
Gotta agree with this guy. The little we saw him in the Bar-assault or whatever with the Eyes-alien was pretty damn cool. Him swooping in the sky blasting those TIE-fighters

Anyone else bugged about the way he singled out Rey's minor little scuffle and started running towards it to invtervene?

The blocking of the scene made it look like it happened way away from him. And he certainly didn't seem very interested in helping anyone but himself until halfway into the film when he had his 'change of heart'

>>
>>63743288
i've always liked boyega. i thought i'd enjoy his performance and i did. i'm happy he was included.

i'm less impressed with rey. daisy ridley seems whatever, but the character is OP in a boring way. they made her far too strong far too fast.
>>
>>63743288
The girl was a dull, subdued and boring kind of bad. The guy was an in your face, trying way too hard to seem 'funny' kind of bad.

Literally a light side and a dark side of shitty acting.
>>
>>63742291
>he actually turns out to be a well-written and well-acted character, definitely the best of the new cast
Why such low quality b8? Poe is the best by far, too bad he's White-ish cis gender male so not enough screen time for him. Even Ben "DaddyKiller" Solo was better than Finn. The only one he's better than is Rey.
>>
>>63743246
Finn is badly written because he goes from mourning the loss of a fellow comrade and finding himself unable to handle the cruelty of war and killing to a guy who shoots 1000 troopers without care
>>
>>63743288
But we aren't wrong about Rey.
>>
FN was ok but unnecesary, his character could be merged with Isaacs and nothing of quality would be lost
>>
>>63743344
Reys only character trait at this point is that she is a Jedi. If you remove that she contributes absolutely nothing to the story. This by itself is a bad sign, but it somehow feels worse when her character was obscured by JJ's shitty false flag.
>>
>>63743377
It would have made more sense if he was the force user.
>>
Who cares?
The movie was shit.
>>
>>63742338
ayy lmao
>>
>>63742621
This random fucking stormtrooper stepping out all big balls and beating the shit out of the secondary main character of the film and actually pretty much winning the fight was the best part.

I hope that stormtrooper gets some kind of expansion all his own, he deserves it.
>>
I actually really liked Finn. The trailers put in him in a bad light. His bro moments with Poe were great.

Rey was fucking boring, but it wasn't really Ridley's fault.

Poe felt like he could have been one of the pilots from IV just with more screen time, Based Oscar made it work though. I really hope he gets developed in the next one.

Instead of Poe being the Han Solo of this movie, we had the actual Han Solo. It worked for this installment but i'm looking forward to more of a focus on the new cast.
>>
>>63743744
Han was an old fuck in this movie.

How the fuck does he outgun all these stormtroopers, he's a slow old man.
>>
>>63743142
It was actually perfectly set up for that, i wonder if it was changed to more of an action scene at the last minute.
>>
>>63742469
Luke didn't go into hiding because he was scared of him, he did it because he thought he failed everyone by allowing him to turn to the dark side.

I think i'm one of the few people on this board that gets what they're doing with Kylo Ren. He's meant to be a petty wannabe in this one, he's not even a Sith lord yet.
>>
>>63742291
What actually happened was that everyone forgot about him being in Star Wars because he no longer was the worst part about it.
>>
>>63742291
The trailers painted him as MC but he turned out to be the comic relief sidekick.

Which isn't so bad, at the end of the day he's going to be the guy everyone laughs at.
>>
>>63743137
>that banter with Kylo Ren near the beginning
I can't remember what he said exactly but it was bretty gud.
Also niggertrooper was horrible and I'm glad he turned out being farily useless. Rey is shit, but not as shit as him.
>>
>>63743428
i actually enjoyed her introduction
the scavenging, the trading, living inside an AT-AT hopelessly waiting for her family to come back is cool as fuck

beating up a few market plebs with her staff is believable

it got stupid when she somehow rejects kylo's mind control torture shit. you don't set someone up as a retardedly powerful force user than can stop bullets and then say HANG ON HERE'S SOMEONE THAT'S ACTUALLY STRONGER. kylo btfos dameron in seconds and he's obviously force sensitive (as made clear in his luke-tier flying), and yet rey somehow resists him with zero training just because she's probably luke's daughter? dumb as hell

by the time she was mind tricking storm troopers from across the room without even looking at them i was rolling my eyes everywhere

This is the only correct point you make but then again this is also part of his character arc. At least he tries to help.

Oh shit, I didn't realise it was the same guy from Ex Machina. Shieet. Poe was the most charismatic person on screen, but underused as fuck.

Your posts just keep devolving into shitty /pol/ memes, this thread is for actual discussion. What's wrong with him wanting to go and get his friend? It's irrelevant whether or not he liked her, lying about the shields is the only way they would let him go that doesn't disprove his character arc.
Would you like try again?

Thats pretty insulting to my boy Finn. Who would want to touch that insane bitch.
Reminder to not stick your dick in crazy.

Movie would have been awesome just being Poe and Finn doing cool shit while Kylo and the First Order tries to stop them. Rey wasn't even needed.
>>
>>63743025
Literally does sweat in every scene and has his mouth wide open every scene

Current year....... Thats acting and oscar worthy

>>

Yeah, Poe and Finn at least had some chemistry. They both felt like bros together.

Rey was a shitty mary sue that added nothing to the story at all.
>>
>>63744278
Yeah, I knew that Caleb was in, but I've avoided most of the media involving the movie apart fro the first few visuals of the cast. It didn't click for me at all without that beard and skinhead. He was far more charismatic than Caleb in both films.
>>

Did younwatch the movie
He does the same things in the trailer throughout the who film
He is allways breathing heavy and sweatung in the movie

>>63744459
The guy who plays Caleb is an okay actor, he isn't really given much to work with in both films.
He could have been more charismatic when delivering the speech but i think that boiled down to JJ's directing and wanting both him and Ren to be petty villains.
>>
>>63744542
He isn't wrong. I was trying hard not to laugh when Finn and Rey had that "Don't go" moment and Finn was breathing heavily
>>

The cam rip was filmed in the theater
The black guy is covered in sweat alot in the movie and he does alot of heavy breathing and shouting

Watched the German release and it had none of that. Was the original audio that bad? That women whose place they flew to with Han (what's her name) also seemed to me like she would have gotten a stereotypical voice.

I think we didn't have as much of a racist voicing of Jar Jar and the Trade Federation guys in the prequels either.

>>63742291

>definitely the best of the new cast
That's Adam Driver, tho'.

I admit that Boyega does quite a lot with a character that, in all due honesty, wasn't written as well as you think he is. My only issue is that, unlike Driver or the old cast, Boyega has the charisma of a wooden plank.

He's a good actor, just has no personality.
>>
>>63746899
I never knew Jar Jar even was a racist cartoon until I watched the english version. It's really funny, I remembered him as a funny harmless idiot and suddenly he becomes this terrible freudian slip of a character. Just like the Junkyard owner, jesus! I wonder if George is unaware of his creation.
