Amadeus Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I felt like a parent watching his children going out for a treasure hunt. Can you find the Falcon? I found the falcon! Can you find Luke's lightsaber? Yes, we did it! Can you find Han Solo? EMBARRASSING 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Futurist Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 My first post on this was : Oh, JJ, have you done ? I knew a shitstrom was coming, a massive one, almost as bit as the PT but for very different reasons. I still can't believe they went THAT far on the remake thing, it boggles the mind really. Besides characters' interactions and character' personalities, it is a remake of ANH from top to bottom. Also, as other people pointed out, it felt very small in scope & scale, hate the PT all you want but those movies felt big & epic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They see the movie, the defense mode kicks in afterwards in an effort to cool that hype.. Problem is, is really, outside this site, it's actually getting overwhelming positive reaction.. It's just the way it is.. Pretty much, no movie that comes out after this will measure up at the box office and it's true and that bothers some deep down, but you know what?? It's just too damn bad now isn't it??? Just stop it BKB, you haven't even seen the film yet. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep hate the prequels all you want but no one can deny that they were epic in nature, if nothing more. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you guys are right that this is pretty much a remake of ANH, the spoiler policy will be amusing in hindsight. You would think they are guarding the secrets of the most original movie ever released. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJohn Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I had no problems with the scale thing. But I guess you guys are right. The space battles on the Independence Day trailer seem to be far bigger than the ones on The Force Awakens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJG Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 One thing I liked was seeing the reactions of people on the planets being blown up. It left more of an impact than Leia's home planet being blown up in Episode 4. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there was ever a reason to not have a franchise, it was that movie. In theory should be a one-off deal. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I've said makes perfect sense and like I said, it happens with every movie and did so with JW.. It's just that when movies make a lot of $$$$$ like JW and TA did and now this, for some reason, people just see it as a threat deep down and just want to watch the world burn over it(see what I did there??) JW was hardly a great movie and neither is the new SW unfortunately, its not like its beyond the realms of possibility that people won't like these films. Believe me, i wanted nothing more than to LOVE this film. This is all academic though as you haven't even seen the film yet so you shouldn't be trying to shoot down peoples opinions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, the reality is that TFA is just a remake of ANH by JJ Abrams, with all that implies including everything thats usually bad about his movies.

The Futurist Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 It s almost as the movie was conceived as an anti-depressant for the working class of the world. A comfortable, soothing, safe film. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
