Anybody that says this movie is bad is just being a contrarian fedora-tipping edgefag, which is honestly pretty typical of /tv/ by now.

I'd give 8/10. My only problems with it are that the movie has the same "skeletal structure" of ANH, and Rey being so quick to competently use the Force with no prior learning.

5/10

I surprisingly enjoyed the weepy millennial Darth Vader fanboy, Adam Driver really knocked it out of the park, I thought. Finn was fun, but his change of heart happened too quickly, and was ultimately just a comic relief character. Rey was cute and likable, but kind of boring. Poe is barely there. Also major props to Ford not phoning it in, he really gave a shit and delivered a great performance.

They have a good cast but now they just need to put them in an interesting movie. I kept reading that the movie was ANH rehashed but holy shit you really have no idea until you see it.

I found a lot of the movie boring and the Luke's lightsaber plot was fucking retarded. The wand chooses the wizard. I mean the lightsaber chooses, wait, what? No. That's retarded.

I thought that was the point though.
Lucas said he wanted the three trilogies to mirror each other in structure and themes. While this didn't really hold true for the prequels, the new trilogy definitely seems to be leaning in that direction.

>beginning was ok apart from the obvious flaws, I liked Rey the instant I saw her
>Rey was the only good character, and solid acting
>Finn's acting is ok, but his character is absolute shit. they did nothing for him plot wise to make us care for him or use his background etc
>Kylo Ren is the biggest villain faggot I've ever seen. Not only is the actor doing a shit job, he is also very poorly written. Firstly he comes across as a very smart and genius bad guy. Then he turns into a 14 y o angry teen. Then all of a sudden he is not so powerful anymore and also he strikes down his dad without any emotion at all. at least make him a full blown maniac if he is supposed to be overly emotional and close to the edge. etc
>too much go pro action handheld effects and shots. not enough panorama views and typical Lucas ways to tell the story
>why the fuck would they make a third death star. they had every chance to give us something new and exciting. the whole plot is basically a copy
>Phasma could have been a cool character... if we got to know her and they used her.
>too much time passed between ep VI and VII, we dont know what happened, we dont care for the characters because they arent introduced at all. Apart from Rey, and not very much.

Except this was far from the biggest complaint of the movie. It was a 4/10 for me but Kylo was one of the stronger points of the film.

There are very obvious flaws that even those that liked it can identify.
>>
>>63973273
6/10 to watch once (I wasn't really bored, and the first act is fine because the story is still simple)
3/10 as art
0/10 as an opportunity to make a decent Star Wars film: it may have actually buried the franchise as an immersive world because it totally negated the OT character's achievements.

They are poorly written and their characters are wooden. The cinematography is uninspired and there is an over-saturation of CGI. The fight scenes have no pathos and exist to fill the screen with lights and bullshit.

There is more emotion and acting talent in Adam Driver and Harrison Ford's discussion pre-murder than in any scene of the prequel films.

6/10, enjoyed myself.

Rey wasn't THAT bad but her constant perfection got tiring. She had a great introduction but started to fall apart once the Jakku escape kicked in.

My inner manchild also couldn't get over why they wouldn't bring y-wings (or some version of them) on a bombing run.
>>
>>63974264
Your assessment of Kylo Ren's character is fundamentally flawed. It is tiring to explain to you people over and over though, so I will just cop out by calling you a fucking aspie.

You people don't learn from discussion anyway, so it's basically the same as intelligently debating you.

I have a feeling that no matter how this movie would have been done like, there are the same people, likely depressed basement dwellers that would have given it a low score, regardless of how good it would have been. You can ALWAYS find flaws in everything if you search hard enough - and that's what those people do, because they are depressed and nothing can satisfy them.

This movie was FUN as fuck, it entertained, which is why it has an imdb score of 8.7 atm, and FUN is what Star Wars is all about.

What the fuck did i just watch? no seriously, what the fuck?

i dont know where to start with this monstrosity of a flick. if it wasn't for the obvious faces and lightsabers it would just be the usual high budget flick with the thinking that fancy effects and explosions will make a 'movie' good. fucking wrong.

i couldnt tell if it was at the start, beginning or end due to the lack of structure and plot - infact im still struggling to see what the plot was? the whole thing dragged out to see some old fuck standing on the cliffs - greeeaat.

what really fucking me off was how they mocked the dark side to be a laughing stock. that pathetic joke making the clone troopers run away when kylo was throwing a tantrum.
-kylo was meant to be the evil sith boss but actually got KILLED by a girl using a lightsaber for the FIRST FUCKING TIME. the fucking dindu put up a good fight, they both have zero fucking knowledge in using one, let alone the force in general. what the fuck?
how can anyone possible criticise the prequels with pieces of liberal shit like this one? there were no characters in TFA with any presence, or something that made you think 'wow i like this guy'. the prequels had mace windu, anakin, obi wan, darth vader, darth maul, etc. what did this one have? the characters were fucking dull as fuck, im actually angry as im typing this i just cant get over what i just watched and i need to vent it somewhere.

trust disney to fuck up this bad. i dont even need to mention (but i will anyway) the obvious racism with the dark side being all white, and the 'goodies' being a melting pot of spics, chinks, dindus, females etc. how can this racism even be allowed?

sadly ticket sales determine the success of a film, and so people will feel obligated to think this flick was good but in reality it was tediously boring, which lacked a plot, characters with any redeeming qualities, and made the dark side a joke.

Derivative of New Hope for sure, but sets it up for a really interesting story arc in the next two Episodes. I have no doubt that Episode VIII will be on par with the best Star Wars movies, especially with Rian Johnson at the helm.

7ish / 10

Music was too quiet/non-iconic, camera work was too modern, Han didn't work for me, a lot of references or information deliveries (BOWCASTER IS POWERFUL GUYS LOOK AT HAN REALLY ENJOY IT TWICE) were really on the nose, Rey was a little too good at everything, Finn was a little too not good at anything, the plot was really thin on the ground even for Star Wars, the montage of Death Star 3 firing made it look like it toasted Coruscant, Death Star 3 was kind of stupid, the pacing was kind of frantic and we didn't really get to know any place in particular except for Jakku, chrometrooper lady didn't do a damn thing except be a punk bitch, Anakin Skywalker's lightsaber in this lady's basement was really really out there, C3PO didn't quite come off right although he was very close, they used all the girl power on Rey and Leia didn't get to do anything except sit around (since when do generals in Star Wars act like generals anyway), and just about everything had this uncanny valley effect from being redesigned just barely enough to sell new toys but not enough to be different in any noticeable way aside from aesthetics.

Everything else was pretty good. So, like, the first third of it or so until they escape Jakku (aside one or two on the nose references). Poe was a bro and BB8 was more fun than I thought he'd be. Liked Kylo Ren a lot more than I thought I would too, TR8R was a real badass, and some of the humor moments flew a lot better than I thought (Craig's cameo, the two troopers turning around during Ren's temper tantrum, the BB8 thumbs up, etc.)

Overall it was just enough like A New Hope to feel kind of weird and disconcerting, but not enough like it to be anywhere near as good.

Also avoiding spoilers was fucking impossible and I'm taking my frustration out on the movie's score.

>but sets it up

There has been so much rationalising from people since the movie came out.

Not one single fucking person here or anywhere else said they wanted TFA to be a beat-for-beat copy and paste of ANH before they saw it. Since they've seen it, suddenly a "soft reboot" is what was needed to "set up" the next movies. Fans have been so desperate to like everything about this movie that they've convinced themselves a rehash of Ep4 was not only a good idea, "it was needed".

A solid, somewhat original adventure movie, without constant pandering, and with room for the new characters to breath would have been more than capable of "setting up" the next films.

6/10

It's strong up until Han Solo shows up and then it just feels confused. Han is meant to fill the role Obiwan did in the first film but for some reason the writers were reluctant to fully commit to it and he ended up being 25% that and 75% reused memes from the original movie that feel out of place and distracting from the new main characters they spent the first 30+ minutes establishing. Seriously old geezer Han Solo is THE main character of the middle third of the film. It's bizarre. And then because Han Solo is too busy being the same Han Solo as before, they needed to invent some other throwaway character to pick up the 'old mentor' slack in the form of that little alien lady who has Luke's lightsaber for god knows what reason and you can be sure we'll never find out.

And the new deathstar didn't work at all. Right off the bat, something that confuses me is why they didn't show the whole sun-draining process the first time the weapon fired. That might have added some tension to the later sections when you're shown it repeatedly but the point is I felt nothing, and the characters seemed to feel nothing. It just sort of appeared without occasion in the final act of the film because this is starwars and that means there has to be a big space station exploding at the end. It just has no presence at all compared to how well the original was built up in ANH. The fact that they made this one 10x the size and 10x as powerful only makes it more laughable by comparison.

Kylo was fantastic
Leia was awful

That's it.

I agree with this. I would've preferred a new story that didn't depend on one all SW fans are so familiar with. Perhaps it was JJ's way of maintaining the SW audience and not alienating them with a completely new story. Honestly guys, he couldn't deny or reject all the things SW look for in the SW universe. I'm pretty sure he'll come up with better lore/story in the next two installments of the series. He just had to pay his respects (memes/nostalgia/etc) to the classics by GL and its audience first. Overall I rate it 10/10. I enjoyed it.
>>
>>63976706
Yeah I honestly have very little negative to say about everything up until Han's freighter.

Maybe this is because up until that point it follows the formula of ANH zealously, at times bordering on shot-for-shot remake, but regardless everything is solid. I especially loved the wide shots of Rey crossing the desert, and the few quick cuts when she first gets into town, eyeing the old woman doing the same work as her and such. Gave me really high hopes for the rest of the film which unfortunately weren't met.

At first seeing the Stormtroopers within a moder camera work was kind of strange. The first third s prety good, they came up with some interesting characters, Kylo Ren makes sense. It's too much of a rehash though, and there are too many "wink-wink"throwbacks to the OT. I think they somewhat wanted to reassure the fans, but they definitely played to safe. But they managed to establish a decent array of characters that hopefully can go on some refreshing adventures in the next movies.
All in all is just a competent blockbusterclothed in Star Wars imagery. Way better than the prequels though.

It was a fun flick, the protagonists were likable. Biggest complaints would be Rey's hyper competence and the times she has a "don't need no man" attitude. Also too much poetry with the Death Star III exploding. Final complaint would be Phasma doing literally nothing and getting beat like a dumb traitorous bitch.

I would give 6/10. It's not bad, but it's not good either. It's enjoyable and has a little something for everyone. Toys for the kids (BB-8), Nostalgia for Old fans, action for teens, etc.

Where it goes wrong is that there's no tension in the film and you never get the sense that the characters are ever really in danger. There's also very little backstory or build up to the characters. The character arc is more like a straight line.

It could have been better but I don't know how JJ could've been able to satisfy all the expectations for this new film while trying to tie the OT to the new trilogy and set up the next film.

You fucks were poking at the prequels at first becuase "It felt nothing like Star Wars"

How is anything in the movie fanservice? Did we ask for Han to die or for Ren to be whiny?

It's JJ Abrams directing, so i'm gonna give yout his one.

The pacing is the same as any Star Wars movi cutting from good guys to bad guys ever since ANH.

If Rey is Mary Sue, then Luke is Gary Stu. Luke could use the force before being trained, Rey can use it too. People speculate on how she may be Luke's daughter and Luke was Anakin's son so they would come from a force sensitive bloodline. Case closed.

It's JJ Abrams

You can't honestly say that Luke and Rey's affinity for the force is comparable at all. The first time Luke uses the force he deflects blaster bolts from a remote WITH Obi-Wan's help. The first thing Rey does is fucking crawl into the mind of an at least somewhat trained Sith, and then immediately after she force persuades a stormtrooper, something that Luke couldn't do even after several years of experience.

Completely agree with this post except for Kylo Ren.
He was basically the new version of prequel Anakin, though tuned down slightly. The only good scenes he had were at the beginning on Jakku and when he talks to Han at the end.
It attempted to subvert the dark side and show it to have some humanity, as in the prequels, but it really didn't work. He was honestly a whining child. Seeing him take off the mask was the point the film nosed dived for me.

- "hey, do you remember this?" -parallel x tons - Rey is an easy parallel to Luke in tons of ways, and so is Jakku and Luke's home, and so on and so forth.

There's tons of fanservice, and that's not even going into the SJW pandering of Rey being a total flawless Mary Sue so that the feminazis don't get mad.

Kylo was a comic relief character, and an excellent one. Seriously how did more people not laugh out loud when he took off the mask the second an attractive woman asked him to?

Liked the new evil force, but was Adam Driver supposed to be THAT cringey? I just couldn't take him seriously, hope they flesh him out in the next part and not add more to the pile of secrets. Interested in Snoke's origins though. The 'searching' for Luke was an interesting concept, but then mos of the map was in the empire's possesion? And then R2-D2 got it in ANH? And conveniently awakened and delivered it? I fear they won't be able to explain some of the plot holes, if they ever bother to fill them. The major flaw was the 'Death Star 3' for me, I mean it was interesting for a location, but I couldn't believe they're seriously rehashing the final battle from ANH. I hope that Phasma isn't done yet, she was hyped to be someone important and special only to have like 3 lines in the whole movie? The beginning of the movie with the village attack was very nice to me, and the ending was ok.

>>63978685
But despite that him and the First Order were a complete joke. Admittedly that scene when the stormtroopers just turn around after he spazzes out was hilarious, but the Order just don't seem like a serious threat.
So yes they have the giant Lazer Death Planet Star and they kill the republic. But even that got turned into a joke. Just don't really feel like the film took itself seriously at all, that it treated it's source material too playfully and self depricating.

My thoughts exactly, I mean, we should we care for the Republic and the planet at all, it seemed to me that everyone has given up on fighting that which was already beaten 30 years ago. No help from the Republic, the good guys are resisting to that which they themselves allowed to grow. I don't know, everything feels as if the empire never ended, spies everywhere and big lazors included.

7.5/10 - Was thoroughly entertained upon first viewing.
The unclear worldbuilding and the shit protag is its biggest problem. But I loved most of the new characters and am intrigued to what they'll do next.

>GOAT TIER
BB-8 -> Easily the best new character. Faster, livelier and cuter than Artoo.

>GREAT TIER
Finn -> Fresh. Feels like an original character, rather than retreading an old archetype. Wonder where they'll take him.
Kylo -> Great villain. Intimidating, immature, unpredictable. Looking forward to his story and was rooting for him the final fight.
Poe -> Had great dialogue. So sparsely used, you want to see more of him. Worked just as it was intended.
Staff-Trooper -> Loved the out-of-nowhere competency. The Boba Fett of this movie.

>GOOD TIER
Young Hitler -> It's great to have a Nazi-suit that knows his shit. Great opposite to Kylo. Hopefully not ded.
Chewie -> Actually did shit. BTFOed Kylo. Should've interacted more with the other characters.
Han -> Satisfying performance true to his character. His death was too obvious and needed more buildup.
Luke -> Revealed too late, long after all the tension was gone. Hyped to see him in VIII, tho.

>MEH TIER
Snoke -> CGI looked fake as fuck. Desperately needs to be fleshed out.
Maz -> CGI looked fake as fuck. Waaay too shallow for her pivotal role as the keeper of the Lightsaber. Granny vibes.
Threepio -> Thankfully sidelined. His humor doesn't work anymore.

>BAD TIER
Leia -> Lost her fire. Granny vibes.
Artoo -> Utterly nonsensical role. Has no use anymore, now that BB exists.
Phasma -> Into the trash compactor it goes.

>SHIT TIER
MaRey Sue -> She's beautiful. She can do everything. She is loved by everyone. Prophecy is calling her. Not a single fuck is given on my side.
>>

Yours is a good post. This isn't a 9/10 movie but I can understand why some are rating it that.

It was a good movie overall and really felt like it was a sequel to the original trilogy, but it was lazy from a story standpoint since it was just ANH 2.0. Rey was too much of a mary sue who shouldn't have been able to beat her whiny cousin with absolutely no prior experience. Finn was better than I thought he would be, he was solid comic relief and did a good job of not actually being a hero. My biggest complaint is that not-the-emperor looked WAY too CGI, especially compared to the otherwise good special effects. The obvious nazi overtones were pretty hamfisted too but they were bad in the original trilogy too so whatever.

Felt more like a subpar remake of Episode 4 with elements of ESB than a sequel
Rey is a shit character and ruins every scenes shes in
Finn is a clown with shit character motivations
Poe getting seemingly killed off and just coming back into the plot for no reason was jarring
Kylo Ren was a pretty good Vader clone up until the point he took off his mask
Han and Chewie just showing up inside the MF felt like pandering
The MF just being there in a fucking desert scrapyard felt like super pandering to OTfags
Phasma literally having like five lines of dialogue and then getting offscreen killed is just baffling, like what was even the point of this character even being in the movie?

Other than that the spaceship battles, Han and Leia's reunion, and the few points in the plot where it was doing its own thing unlike not R2-D2, not Tatooine, and not Yoda where the times the movie was actually enjoyable.

This was really weird. Almost to the point that it didn't seem intentional.

Isaac said recently that Poe was supposed to be killed off, and with the way his character fits in the structure of the plot, it's easy to see that that was the initial intentions.
