She basically, really did nothing Oh yeah...I totally forgot she was in the movie. You're right. They could have at least taken off her mask.

AniNate Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I should give this movie credit for making 2 hours fly by, but it felt like watching 3/4 of a narrative with the climax cut off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No CGI to clear that up??? I thought Carrie did a great job. I was wondering how they'd handle her...well, ashy voice...but you know what? Whatever...let her act. She did great. It's been 30 years, just tell yourself Leia smoked. "Fixing" her voice just, I don't know, seems off. It worked, she's older, whatever. Im totally resisting the urge to explain why CGI can't fix sound either, but that's just petty. Edited December 18, 2015 by kowhite 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AniNate Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Harrison Ford looked the most alive I'd seen him in years. A real shame they killed him off and in such an unceremonious fashion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chewy Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ford was energetic and alive precisely because he knew after this he'd be free. The death scene he's longed for. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When he got the script, Ally McBeal skipped straight to the last 30 pages of the script and saw that Han got stabbed. Harrison then called up his agent and said, "Sign me up" 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Yay don't have to avoid spoilers anymore! Random note, slightly disappointed there was a shot from the trailer missing of Adam Driver in the snow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnnyGossamer Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Ugh. C+B-. Pretty messy and never pulled me in. Just about every beat's unearned. New characters were promising and Ford was fun. Glad that chapter's over with... On to Johnson and Trevorrow.

AJG Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 Ok. I've listened to the soundtrack. Honestly it's really... kinda... Poor. None of the tracks were memorable. The whole thing just blended together like something playing in the background of a videogame. Just generic Star Wars music, nothing out of the ordinary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travod Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) Okay I think I'm tripping hard. I'm watching all the trailers to find the shot I was looking for, and I don't see it. Anybody want to find it? It's Adam Driver, mask off, in snow. I think there are Storm Troopers behind him. Also in terms of actual reaction, I don't think it was mind blowing amazing as some are no doubt going to say. I think I liked Star Trek 09 better, but I'll have to watch that again.

Ryan Reynolds Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) a good movie but not great, but they are in great shape moving forward with a solid cast. Now we know why JJ wanted to delay the film a bit to work on the script a bit longer, Disney and their deadlines. Need to see it again to see how it holds up.

somebody85 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 That was fucking amazing. Everything I wanted it to be and more. JJ did it!! Sold out IMAX theater applauded 3 times for Lucasfilm, A long time ago, and when Star Wars finally hit the screen. They applauded so much during the movie and at the end. Last time I've seen anything get that good a crowd response was the original Avengers. It was like if the finale of Jurassic World was the whole movie. I had to piss so badly but barely anyone got up during the entire thing because they didn't want to miss a single shot. Disney did such an amazing job marketing it. I hope it breaks every record 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kvikk Lunsj Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 5/5 I loved the movie. Looking forward to Johnson can do with episode 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TStechnij Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 I loved it, but I had no capacity to not love it. Complaining about the beats not being earned is a little strange though, considering that is how Star Wars has always been. I don't think that it is too much of a travesty that some little moments go by fast when you are dealing with an epic though. But yeah, I cried four times. I had a ton of fun. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somebody85 Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) It was honestly such a surreal experience and being a huge Star Wars geek, I had a stupid grin on my face from the moment Lucasfilm showed up on screen. So I loved all of the fan service. I thought the story totally worked too. Erased everything about the prequels. I knew it was going to be very good in those first 10-15 minutes when characters actually felt like people.

Wrath Posted December 18, 2015 Share Posted December 18, 2015 (edited) 1 hour ago, Jayhawk the Hutt said: Does anyone think they wasted Phasma on purpose? They wanted a Boba Fett like character that seemed all cool, but was all style and no substance. Didn't work great in the film, but I loved Finn when they were deciding what to do with her. Boyega was awesome, Finn may have been my favorite new character, although they were all fantastic. Boyega seemed kinda silly and out of place until the second act. He was all jitters and panic in what I kinda consider the prologue. But once he's into the desert he produces about as much comedy as the other 6 movies combined. At first it felt misplaced, but about mid-may through the second act, really, about the time when Chewy starts hamming it up a bit himself, that it started working for me. Boyega really makes it work, and I applaud him for it. In fact, by the end, I liked comedy Finn better than enthusiastic Finn. I thought Boyega and Driver were the strongest. I thought Ridley was actually a little wooden, though being wooden worked fine for Hamill and she's a lot less wooden than he was. Plus, she's up there with Driver as the two most interesting characters in the movie, and arguably two of the three most interesting in the entire series, depending on how much you like Yoda or Darth Maul. Ford was his old awesome Han Solo self, and it was probably the best use of Chewie in any of the movies ("I can tell you were really brave." LOL). Mayhew is a genius at physical comedy, acting underneath that huge costume. Edited December 18, 2015 by Wrath Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
