somebody85 Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 Just got back from seeing it again in IMAX. The entire theater was nearly as crowded as opening night and the actual showing itself only had the first 2 rows open. What's pretty crazy is there were less open seats then on the 17th scattered everywhere else. I imagine it's going to be big tonight. And yes, enjoyed it just as much. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I thought I didn't like it much at first, but now I think it could've been O. Russell's masterpiece if it had a little bit more time in the editing room and some reshoots. Definitely better than AH, on par with SLP (SLP is a more consistent film but Joy has a lot more interesting stuff going on). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably because the next three showings had already sold out by the time I arrived for Joy (a half hour before showtime) My gf gave it a C- (shes just being nice). Said it was very monotone and slow, and never clear. She said 4 people got up halfway through and said "this isnt worth it", and she noticed a ho hum look on peoples faces walking out. Its anectodal, yes I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're crazy, The Scavenger is fantastic and Rey's theme is great. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been saying that it works so much better if you watch it as a fairytale about a woman's impowerment. You can turn the other way about the messiness if you think of it as a bare-bone archetypal, almost mythish story. I'm glad you liked it, it is the feel good movie of the year for me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the soundtrack is the only aspect of the film I'm genuinely disappointed on. Nothing new has clicked at all after 3 viewings. Even the prequels all had at least one incredible new composition that could stand up to the OT classics (Duel of the Fates, Across the Stars, and Battle of the Heroes). I actually will not be that upset now with Williams not doing VIII. Maybe it is time for some new blood with the music just like it was time for it in regards to directing.

grey ghost Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 So O. Russell is really doing a fairy tale theme in all his movies? Is it a personal obsession or a gimmick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orestes Posted December 27, 2015 Share Posted December 27, 2015 I like Rey's theme, but yeah, there isn't anything on par with Duel of the Fates or Imperial March or anything like that. Still good, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a bit more dense than the typical DOR, but her comment about the crowd is weird. My crowd was near sold out and had a lot of laughs throughout it. I think it'll have good WOM despite its oddities. 9 minutes ago, TStechnij said: I've been saying that it works so much better if you watch it as a fairytale about a woman's impowerment.

I think it's interesting to look at it more as a deconstruction of a soap opera (and I believe that's what Russell's aiming for), but whatever made you like it is still good. I think it'll be under-appreciated around here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
