Poe is a fuckin hack. What does he do that is so good? His first x-wing gets killed by stormtroopers becsuse he parked it like 20 feet away from his secret meeting with rando old dude. Then he steals a tie fighter which gets shot down within a few minutes. He's then shown doing some unimpressive maneuvers and finally flies through a shaft on the starkiller and closes his s-foils to make it through *yawwwwwnnnnn* poe is no mary sue

You can believe in plotholes, mary sues, and hack writers all you want; but if you can't admit that this was an enjoyable movie to watch, then you are a sun-deprived fun-sucking oval office gently caress.

Everything up until Han Solo limps in is a Good Movie. Then he shows up and it's CG octopus monster fight, hey everybody remember SPACE CHESS, Asian Yoda foreshadows the next movie, Finn is inexplicably good at lightsabers versus inexplicably not Chrome Stormtrooper, and Rey masters the Force in the forest by closing her eyes and listening really hard to the John Williams score.

Like, were people this critical of Guardians of the Galaxy? Another light-hearted romp through space? There was all kinds of bullshit in that movie but I never heard a complaint.

The point was that there was no direct comparison to be made with GotG and a previous movie in its history. TFA was basically episode 4 (or enough callbacks and references to make it near enough) but with new characters (and with horrible wooden acting out of Fisher and Ford).

I would say with the OT and the prequels, only 2 1/2 of those movies could actually be considered "good".

Holy poo poo the CG monster fight was literally the worst thing in this entire movie, and this after every nerd blog in existence ran stories about "Ep. 7 is going to return to using time honored PRACTICAL EFFECTS" Like it feels like J.J. just couldn't bring himself to make any of the main characters not... cool and totally competent at everything. You also appreciate Ep. 4's depiction of trusting the Force as something visual - i.e. firing proton torpedoes into an exhaust port. Plus, there's actual tension because you see people miss that shot with their targeting computers and Luke shuts his off. Here you get close ups of Rey concentrating really hard while the music swells. I mean, yeah, I get what's supposed to be happening but drat that's some boring visuals. This ending is all payoff with no build up. Stuff just happens. They blow up a planet, and it felt underwhelming.

^^^ - Wow, yeah. Very much this. The CG monsters being okay vs great didn't matter to me, but for everything else you said, spot on. Especially about the force.

I would say with the OT and the prequels, only 2 1/2 of those movies could actually be considered "good". GotG only had comics. SW had movies, books, toys, clothes, comics, cartoons, blah blah. I think I had more fun watching TFA than GoTG for all their faults if I were to directly compare them. I know very little about Star Wars, and less about Guardians, but I thought the middle finger shtick set a decent enough tone for the humor in that movie. I mean, Downey's Iron Man feels way more quippy than in the comics, no? IM1 was really good back when I watched it. Whedon (and whoever made IM2 and 3) ruined it all to various degrees, though, but that's another issue for another day. Drifter fucked around with this message at 16:54 on Dec 30, 2015 |

They had so many set pieces and practical aesthetics that I think one fun CGI'd scene can be forgiven. I would have been loving pissed if it was a couple of big dudes in Rancor costumes dragging people away on the ship.

The squid monsters and Snoke were really bad. Felt like something out of Lord of the Rings. It just felt wrong to see that in the same movie with all the other classic SW stuff.

I think the answer is: come up with another scene that doesn't completely under utilize the guys from The Raid, aka the most baller kung fu/muai thai dudes alive. I mean, if you break it down - what's the purpose of that scene? Han Solo has gone back to smuggling (and I guess he sucks at it? Which is hilarious when he says later he "returned to the only thing he was good at") Rey and Finn are resourceful? Plenty of other ways to show this that doesn't require a whole CG monster fight sequence.

How about that goggle wearing, cantina owner gremlin? Yeah she was totally made out of practical effects. Also it's been thirty years and Han Solo doesn't even get a promotion or move to a better profession, he ends up staying as a smuggler with his dog/man hybrid buddy and now has to fly in a space carrier retirement home?

Also it appears JJ Abrams and write guy don't understand how contract business is done. Space IRA and Space Yakuza show up demanding their money back from Han, while he is literally in the middle of doing what they paid him to do. Find stupid rolling monsters that have tentacles and have a gaping vagina mouth. Like if they were loving Han over because they planned on taking the poo poo and selling the monsters themselves, cuz Han did all the dangerous leg work that would be one thing. However that's not what happen or was conveyed since the look on Han's face was the look of a dude caught loving someone over, but lol he didn't. Han I want you to paint my house, here is the money to buy supplies and little extra to get started. You'll get the rest once you've finished *Han paints half the house, plans on finishing tomorrow* WTF Han Solo, you hosed me. Half the house is painted I wanted all of it! You're fired give me my money back you loving SCOUNDREL! Worst movie ever! Snatch Duster fucked around with this message at 17:23 on Dec 30, 2015 |

Pretty sure Han took payment from two rival gangs, for one job he was procrastinating on? And lied to both gangs about? Maybe he didn't actually do anything except rubbing the wrong people the wrong way for too many years. I don't know but I'll go see the movie again when I'm back home then we can continue discussing this movie that only one of us enjoyed.

The fight with Rey and Kylo Ren was dumb, a woman can't overpower a man I know this decade is all feminism and girrrrl power but they're actually doing a disservice to women by implying they're physically stronger than men Some little child is going to eat that up and someday try to kick a mans rear end and get knocked out

Blacks can't open carry or have a bag of skittles in their hoodie pockets. In the future men won;t be allowed to show anger and if they do, they'll be instantly peppered sprayed/tasered and sent to prison for 10 years minimum. I bet women will be cops and start murdering men walking down the street with a frown on their face. These slut cops will then say "He looked like he was gonna rape me" as their defense. Truly a grim future for us all
