Name a more bland forgettable franchise than this.
At least hunger games had Stanley Tucci
Divergent
>It's a movie that suffers from the Smurfette principle
Lol of course it's bland and forgettable, on top of being sexist and a stereotype.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians
>MFW the Indominus was a better antagonist than Kylo Ren

More like INDUMBANUS REX! HAHAHA, BESCAUCE IT WAS STUPID AND KYLO WAS cool.
>can't even catch a couple of kids
>get rekt by a shitty t-rex and a velo while she was supposed to be genetically engineered as the perfect killer
This shit was disappointing.
TFA was disappointing but it wasn't Jurassic World bad
HE DID IT THE ABSOLUTE MAD MAN
He's probably glad he's been in a watchable movie this year

Did anyone else go back and rewatch the prequels after TFA and realize they weren't actually all that bad? TFA feels like it was created by a machine that was told to make a derivative work based on Episodes 4-6 and it tries so hard not to introduce anything new to the series or offend any fans that it fails to establish itself as a new entry while the prequels at least have the balls to try their own thing, even if it's not all that great at all times. Seriously, you guys should give the prequels another chance with as little prejudice as possible and you'll enjoy them.
/tv/ is literally Contrarian - The Board. Whatever is popular is hated and whatever is unpopular is loved.
It's a widely accepted fact that the prequels had terrible CGI, horrendous dialogue, and a poorly written/executed plot. Now that people are liking TFA all these "I gotta be different" people are coming out of their holes to praise the prequels in an attempt to be some sort of high taste patrician who sees what us plebs are too blind to appreciate. Shit's pathetic.

I wanted to watch all the movies before I go see Force Awakens so I could take notes.
>>63866522
it's more of an issue if you watch the highlights of the prequels.
stuff like the Duel of Fates, Unlimited Power, etc, totally outclasses TFA, it has nothing on the level of those scenes.
but if you watch the full movies then you're stuck with those scenes being surrounded with drivel.
Does anyone actually think this will be good?
Or that it even could be?
I do. I hope, at least. But I'm quite optimistic.
>>63866453
Is that Bizzaro Lois?
Can't be as bad as Star Wars.
did we ever discuss Crimson Peak?
Best looking film of 2015.
>>63866413
now that's laconic
>>63866389
Yes. The general consensus is that it's bad. Wheter it's utter shit or just mediocre depends on the anon you ask, but it's not worthy the time.

did anybody really boycott or didnt watch it because of black dude?
>>63866375
it was a /pol/ troll m8, no one was ever going to actually boycott.
>>63866375
Would anyone really give a fuck if they did? This movie will make all the money.
>>63866375
No, of course not. You've been on 4chan way too long, mate.
>Everyone knows the Star Wars series peaked with that confrontation in The Empire Strikes Back (1980) between Luke Skywalker (Mark Hamill) and the villain, Darth Vader (played on screen by David Prowse, but voiced by James Earl Jones).
>The “Luke, I am your father” revelation resonated because it expressed how George Lucas, like his movie-brat peers (Coppola, Bogdanovich, Scorsese, Spielberg, De Palma) struggled with Sixties generational ambivalence. A father–son antagonism resounds through all their films as...

>The new characters in The Force Awakens are banal. John Boyega’s black superhero, Finn, updates and restyles Han Solo’s jockish heroism — a cultural evolution that evokes Obama (“I was taken from a family I’ll never know”) for global commercialism. Boyega is appealing-enough to surpass the series’ previous racial tokens, Billy Dee Williams and Samuel L. Jackson, but he is subordinate to the new gallantry of Daisy Ridley’s Rey, who embodies the female empowerment denied to Princess (now General) Leia. Rey “leans in” when she grips the...

>The Force Awakens is a bread-and-circuses carnival (disguised as “The Rapture,” a young videomaker told me) that is intended to keep millennial audiences docile. Maybe that explains the film’s unavoidable sell and both the media’s and the public’s desperate genuflection. Love of Star Wars is not love of cinema, just consumerist habit. The Star Wars Generation — that unfortunate rabble primed to see these films at the precise moment they were becoming culturally responsive — are not necessarily the audience the movie brats deserved; they’re...

>Rey “leans in” when she grips the Skywalker light saber, so that feminists can rejoice at the Disney Corporation’s calculated political correctness (although Rey’s competence with weaponry contradicts liberals’ convenient attitudes toward gun control.)

>implying Episode VIII will not just be two solid hours of Chewie violently beating Kylo forkilling his husbando
Chewie's reaction toHan Solo'sdeath upset me more than his actual death itself. It was cool seeing him go apeshit but they cut his scene way too short. I wanted to see Chewie rip off stromtrooper arms as he goes into rage induced beast mode. Also seeing him alone in the Millenium Falcon afterwards was very sad.
Why does he love Han so much?
>chewie without han
What sorta film would you make with this cast?
>>63866278
A political comedy movie about Emperor Palpatine trying to run the Empire after he built it.
I wouldn't make a film.
I would make a movie.

Will BB-8 become a Jedi in ep VIII?
>>63866264
>Jedi
BB-8 is clearly Sith.
I wonder if droid are even capable of being force sensitive? Has the EU ever elaborated on this?

Only R2-D2 can use the force
>Rey, did I ever tell you about how I abandoned my five year old daughter to live in absolute squalor on an inhospitable desert planet named Jakku? I left her in the care of a brutish alien scrap-dealer who essentially used her as slave labor for the next decade and a half, sending her to scavenge parts from dangerous remote locations, feeding her barely enough to survive and housing her in an overturned rusted out AT-AT. That same scrap dealer actually had the Millennium Falcon sitting in his scrap yard, yeah the same ship I trained with Obi Wan on and had all my adventures on. Oh, I also never bothered to send word to Rey that her mother had been killed when my Jedi academy was destroyed, so she remained on Jakku for fifteen years waiting for her every day, too frightened to leave in case she missed her beloved mothers return. While this was going on I wandered around in hiding while my friends, increasingly concerned over my disappearance and searching everywhere for me, fought a losing battle against a resurgent empire in which they desperately needed my help, me being one of the most powerful force users alive. In fact by just staying in hiding and letting the empire slowly regain its strength and build a new death star eight times bigger than the last one I guess I really made everything my friends and I fought and sacrificed for kind of meaningless. I put a map leading to where I was on R2, and put him in sleep mode, but then I removed the part of the map that showed my location. That part of the map I put on a USB drive and sent it to a friend who also lived on Jakku and told him to give it to the resistance. I was very careful not to tell him that my daughter, that I abandoned, was living a twenty minute drive away from him just two towns over so that he could give her some money or food or even just provide some companionship which might have alleviated the crushing loneliness which was her permanent state. He was a good friend.

It really drives home how pants-on-head retarded it would be if she is Skywalker's daughter, yet Kathleen Kennedy has stated that the sequels are also the continuation of the Skywalker story so she has to be. They unnecessarily painted themselves into a shitty corner.
The only way this can make sense is if it's Kylo himself who left her on Jakku instead of killing her, since they are cousins.
>>63866260
Rey is not Luke's daughter.
Rey is Sheev's daughter, that would perfectly explain why she can do anything
