Thoughts on new Star Wars (No Spoilers, I Promise)
|
Star Wars is the story of an orphaned farm boy that is radicalized after a military strike kills his family. He is then indoctrinated into an ancient religion and joins a band of insurgents on a terrorist attack that kills 300,000 people.
Not mine. Wife emailed it to me from facebook.
Being told you're delusional does not necessarily mean you're mental.
300,000? Try 30 million+.

The best compliment I can give is it was not quite as bad in absolute magnitude of awefulness as reboot Star Trek, but still pretty much bad in all the same ways as reboot Star Trek. I've got to say that out of every startwars review I'm ever going to read I think I'm going to pay attention to this one the most and just not watch it. I might actually give some thought into watching it if someone can promise me that there aren't scenes of good guys taking on ridiculous amounts of bad guys and the bad guys have laser guns.

And then we extinguish them. Impersonation is treason.

Yeh I don't want to derail the thread but this is the movie I'm looking forward to. / Yeh I just googled Sophie Turner and fair enough if I saw her in my gym or something I'd probably prematurely ejaculate, but that's not what makes a good film.

Well, in his defense I don't think there were any civilians aboard the Death Star when it was destroyed. What about all those civilians on Alderann who that space-weapon murdered?

Can't even remember the name of the character, much less the actress, but whenever I think of X-Men I still think of the girl in blue body paint (this was a decade or two back).

I thoroughly enjoyed it, will definitely see it again, (just not in 3D again, costs to much) thought BB8 was a great new droid, very cute and expressive in a way R2D2 couldn't be. Didn't think there was too much gratuitous CGI.
For a big blockbuster type Hollywood machine movie I'd give it 4.75/5 stars
Teenaged X-Files obsession + Bermuda Triangle episode + Self-led school research project = Atheist.
