I'm going to update this over time to get all my thoughts in..... but here we go. Tiered hider tags will indicate clearly how far you should read.



edit -- modified the description of the action a little. It's heavy, but it's not quite as heavy as I was talking before.

80% Awesome, 10% Nostalgia, 10% Too Much Nostalgia.

Like mdk mentioned, biggest selling point (and overall improvement) is that the dialogue is about ten times wittier and snappier than the prequels, and at least half again that of the originals.

Having had a few days to think, we have some additional thoughts.

Just saw it tonight and it's a bit late so I haven't really read much of the above posts yet, but will do given some time.

It is good, it is Star Wars. Those two important, oh so incredibly important goals are what the movie nailed.

That said it does have flaws. There are moments that the film harkens back to the original trilogy a bit too much.

Overall verdict: A proper Star Wars film that has a low enough entrance barrier even someone who never saw any of the previous movies can enjoy it. 9/10 would watch again.

It was OK.

While there was good production value in the appearance the new guys weren't all that great, save for the one Ace rebel pilot whose name I can't remember but he was hardly there. But beyond that, the film felt weak through the rest of it. Too much exposition at the start before it cuts to rushed and rather flimsy second half. And by that point everything that happens sort of falls off the skin like you knew it would happen. It doesn't shock, it doesn't surprise, and...



All in all I give it...

The movie did what it was supposed to do, which is to say that there was no point during the movie where I felt like checking the time to see when it was going to end. I was interested the entire way through.

My thoughts while staying vague. Spoilers in Hiders.

1: This set of Sith seems more interesting than any the others we have seen, at least in the films.


2: The war and government don't make sense.

Why hide spoilers when you could have just put a spoiler warning in the title? So now we have a thread full of hidden text.

Anyway...

I liked the movie, it was impressive-looking and all round good but several things bothered me and the more I think about it the more they impact my overall opinion of the movie. Leaving a load of little inconsistencies aside, I really don't like the amount of convenience in the plot. Nearly everything is a "just-so-happens" situation and that's just lazy writing. Speaking of which, just pretty much remaking A New Hope, yeah, pretty lazy. I really liked most of the characters, Finn was a little hard to swallow at the beginning, I mean why he's on that mission at the start when you learn later on what his actual position was. But the worst is Ray who is apparently the best pilot ever, the best fighter ever (with 2 different weapons, one of which she's never used before), the best mechanic ever and I guess

Honestly, she's a character without any fault whose presence and role in the story is yet again a massive, magical convenience. I guess the answer to that is that it's "The will of the force", but in that case; Hey Dark Side, Supreme Leader Snoke, First Order guys... You might want to just give up, the very energy that binds every living thing together in the universe is really really biased against you. Shit, that kind of makes them the under dogs in this story.

I will preface this by saying that I am not a star wars fan, and only saw the original trilogy about 12 hours before I saw episode 7. If you don't really think about the film too much, it's pretty decent. At its core, the film is a mindless space opera that captivates you with relatively good characters, dialogue, and action, well, at least until you pull the film to bits. Most of my issues with the film are in the last third of it.



Alright, I'm getting tired, so I will stop with this. I might expand my thoughts later.

@Gekidami because not everyone has seen it. Especially true that was when we first created this thread on the 16th.

I finally watched it about a hour ago. I liked it, it wasn't perfect though and there were somethings that bugged me. My thoughts:



I'd give it a 7 - 8 out of 10. Like it, but not as much as New Hope or ESB. Better than TPM at least.

So, you came here to complain, state that you didn't like it, won't see anything Star Wars again, but have no intention of explaining why you hated it. soo very conductive to a discussion.

We couldn't ban anyone even if we wanted to (which we don't), as we're not part of the guild staff.

We're curious about why you didn't like it. Vague hints to what others say somewhere on some other sites just don't do as explanations to us.
