I'm not joking, the progressivism it toted is the main reason it got good reviews.

>>67402682
Because "being better than the prequels" was considered the bar for success, so anything above that was met positively.

Also don't confuse RT percentage with actual score, as the former is a list of positive reviews, which can vary anywhere from 6 to 10. Star Wars VII was viewed positively by 90-some percent of critics, but has a score of 7ish.

>JJ played it safe so nothing original and it wouldn't turn out to be another prequel trilogy, and everyone hates those because RLM told them too
>JJ is great at hyping things up, see his previous movies, they all have an air of mystery surrounding them and security causing people to wonder what they are about until release then they are forgotten after the month they premier

I think they were trying to court new, younger audiences. I mean, people our age shouldn't be obsessed with Star Wars. It's for kids and teenagers. Fanboys will see the movie anyway.

And for the people complaining about the technical aspects, I implore you to tell me when the OT ever got into the specifics of how ships work. Seriously. It's all offhand dialogue and various technobabble.

It was a soulless cashgrab made by a bunch of men in suits trying to make the movie as hyped as possible so they could sell R2D2 soup and action figures. It was an average blockbuster movie designed to make the most money possible, not to make a great movie. It felt like I was watching an average marvel movie.

Episode 7 was the definition of a movie made by committee. The future movies will be the same. It'll all be the same formulaic Marvelshit no matter who the director is.
>>
>>67402682
Because of normies, nostalgiafags and sjw's.
Also because Disney was pumping millions to make sure it had positive image.

>>67403255

Right. Prequels had a lot of garbage in them, but at least they were pretty fun Star Wars movies. Significantly dumbed down, but still Star Wars. This shit was just generic capeshit tier. And I would argue that it was way bigger tardfest than prequels. How can one movie have this many plot holes and inconsistencies? What idiot wrote this? How was this retarded script even approved and green-lit?
>>
Is it wrong I find more enjoyment in rewatching The Phantom Menace than I do The Force Awakens? That shows how terrible of a movie episode VII is. Feels like a chore just getting through it. No whimsy. No wonder or sense of adventure like the originals or Phantom Menace.

That's because everything that is not OT is not going to feel authentic, ever.

If lucas' prequel trilogy was that deranged and fucked up how could any jewy corporate knock-off ever hope to elevate itself to authentic 'star wars' quality? You might as well try making a modern sequel to the spaghetti western 'trilogy'.

6 years ago in my homeland of Britbongistan, I came across a giant model of a cigarette butt in the middle of Trafalgar Square. This was part of a campaign to remind the citizens of London to discard their cigarette butts in the trash instead of leaving them on the ground.

Why not? It had some genuinely enticing moments and characters. It might have not been the greatest movie in history, but it looked and felt like star wars and it made the prequels look like bad fanfiction in comparison. Getting someone else to do Star Wars was a good decision.

It's way too fast and unintelligible. It looks like it's shot on an iPhone.

It doesn't have the LSO, it doesn't have the creature shop, and it doesn't have matte artists or fantastic worlds.

It needs the slowness of a long docking sequence of some kind.

Wow I just finished watching it too. I honestly thought the memes where you cunts being the usual bunch of joyless faggots but it was actually kind of shit and by all definitions, yeah Rey was a complete and utter Mary Sue. Daisy is cute I admit and I think she looks and acts the part but how her character is written is pure and utter garbage. Not only is she over powered already but in such a lazy and cheap way. Imagine the retarded shit shes going to be doing by the last part of this trilogy.
Also all the old characters sucked ass Solo wanted to be somewhere else and spinster Lela was the hammiest cunt in the whole thing.
Over all annoyed by the whole experience.

if you saw it in theaters, fine, shit on it. if you didn't, it's very fucking difficult to think that star wars just isn't for you

Kylo's a compelling sort of character, but we know nothing about his decision making other than the fact that it's 'bad'.

Why slow down the movie for a prayer scene with Darth Vader's helmet? Is he a bipolar character? Will he kill his mother next? Is he keeping Leia alive to claim some sort of noble title?

Have Leia and Rey ever spoken about the fact that Kylo is her son? It sounds almost like Rey's objective is as mundane as picking Kylo up from school or something.

What else can the writers tell us about his character, through actions?
>>
>>67412223
That's a problem with Rey and her fucking God like abilities more than any. Like who the fuck can use a Jedi mind trick let alone even know that they exist when they just learned the force and Jedis are a thing 24 hours earlier? Rey's shitty writing effected everyone anon. Kylo is just another casualty. Han too.

The film suggests he resented his parents for shipping him off to Uncle Luke's boarding school which he felt was abandonment. Combine that with basic insecurities about his role in the family legacy and whatever bullshit Snoke fed him and there you have the bedrock of his motivations.

>Why does Kylo join the Empire? Why does he kill Han? There's no context.

Because he was an insecure little shit whose insecurities were exploited by Snoke, causing him to idolize Vader in order to feel more powerful and make up for his own self-loathing.

Kylo Ren actually hates being evil, and his conscience is telling him to go back to the light. But because he's equated being good with weakness, and because he feels he's come too far to turn back, he decides to murder Han hoping severing his ties to his family will make him more confident in his cause and thus more powerful. It doesn't work.

The scenes with Snoke and the Vader helmet lays all this out completely, and actually LISTEN to what Kylo Ren says on the bridge. It explains his reasoning for killing Han verbatim.
>>
>>67414013
Star Wars has never been subtle. The scene might be a tad overly Hamlet-y but the image of Vader's melted worn-out image is a striking enough image given the context that it's justified well-enough. It was a memorable way of establishing his motivations.

it is a rehash of anh and this time the vader is a whiny little teenager who hates happiness and butterfles. no matter what you say the fact remains he isnt a good villain, he doesnt capture you, he doesnt enthrall you, he doesnt intimidate you. at the end of the movie you hope snokes a good villain because his lackey is anakin tier shit
