Polaroids Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 Devil and Angel will do well because the leads are a popular couple. Shame about the quality though. I don't really see SW7 doing that well in China.. Sci-Fi isn't big there and this is a franchise movie that needs a backstory. Most people won't appreciate the references or the story itself. But who knows, stranger things have happened. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched SW7 in Singapore. As a fan of the original, I hate to say it.. the movie is a shame. I have so many friendss...who are fans who disliked it because it is almost entirely a remake of Episode 4... But the lucky thing is, New viewers, people who were not original fans.. seemed to enjoy the movie. This may appeal to China as most of them are new fans, I would presume. Once again I feel that SW is a marathon, not a sprint, and even if TFA barely breaks even in China, I would assume Rogue One and Episode 8 to do better. =) Some part of me actually want TFA to flop, because I hate the idea of them trying to force an american culture to the chinese via aggressive marketing....Disney's arrogance is starting to turn me off. but we will see how it goes.

I share the same sentiments. I am really quite bewildered that many glossed over TFA being more like a remake than a sequel. The plot device is so old school (been there done that)... We will see whether Chinese can retain their own movie culture. Singapore is pretty much conquered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It actually became a part of Chinese culture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just don't like the romanticizing of freedom of speech to the point that it is all good, with no drawbacks especially by politicians and political organisations. At some point, the Chinese will get sick of Transformers. But there is no guarantee that they won't adore something that you absolutely hate. Which I think is healthy. It will be quite a boring world if everyone has the same taste. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Marvel Fanboy Posted December 23, 2015 Author Share Posted December 23, 2015 I am spoiled for SW7 and I agree that the movie is a shame. Basically a remake of A New Hope, It does nothing new to the Star Wars universe. It's just a money grab consuming the nostalgia. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
