Eh, it'll pass, just like pokemon, shrek, and frozen did when they were everywhere. Though the make up one is kind of cool, marketing that says yes, girls do in fact enjoy star wars as well.
Anyway, great movie. Loved it so much. John Williams did a great job with the music once again, making it nostalgic-sounding but still original. New aliens and old faces as well. I'll probably have to watch it again to find out all my nitpicks but the only thing that comes to mind is the slightly slow start after the opening scene, though probably not any worse than a new hope. The only spoiler im gonna say is Spoiler: show I laughed. I cried. I had a great freaking time. Would recommend to go see especially if you liked the original three Star Wars.

Saw the movie.
Force Awakens is pretty good. It definitely reignites the spark for Star Wars that the prequels destroyed. You can also feel JJ Abrams' style come through in the dialogue and the comedy. But it's not a perfect movie. There's a few details I didn't like near the middle and ending. The GOOD: Spoiler: show The BAD: Spoiler: show The UGLY: Spoiler: show Star Wars is often put on a pedestal but realistically Star Wars is just a good, fun space adventure film. Force Awakens goes back to those roots. |

My dad changed his mind; I saw the movie Monday by myself; I enjoyed it quite a bit, would give it an 8 out of 10; and have been wanting to write up a post for the past 72 hours but have been thwarted at every turn by work and Christmas obligations.
Have not read any of your guys' posts yet. Want to write up my own unbiased list of stuff first, much of which I am sure will echo many of your own sentiments. Will read and reply to all y'all later. The one thing I want to go ahead and say now, though I am sure I will mention it again later, is that (not really a spoiler but meh, don't want to bias): Spoiler: show

Lucas has compared the sale of Star Wars to Disney like selling his children to white slavers. o_O;;

Re: some of Loki's concerns:
Spoiler: show And best of all: Spoiler: show It's not a spoiler to say that Jar Jar wasn't in this one, we all knew he wouldn't be...but I was really, really hoping he would be. I want to see the prequels fixed - I really feel that the theory that Jar Jar is one of those "drunk monks" is what Lucas intended, and if the sequels can at least make that a reality...it might even make the prequels worth watching again, thinking of Jar Jar as the secret bad guy. It's such a shame we the audience despised him so much - if we had just kept our big mouths shut, we could have had badass Darth Darth Binks instead of ANNNIIIIIEEEEE

I watched it.
It sucked. There were some nice details, but for the most part it was a bad film. And not very Star Wars-like, either. I agree with whoever said it was more similar to a Marvel film rather than an Abrams one. The 2009 Star Trek film was infinitely better. So much for Abrams boast of being a "SW" guy.

I also saw it a few days ago. It didn't "suck" but it also wasn't spectacular in any way. I give it a 6.5/10. I might actually like Revenge of the Sith better; although I only saw that once, and it's been a while since I watched it. I'd probably be more critical of it if I saw it again (FROM MY POINT OF VIEW THE JEDI ARE EVIL!)

Spoiler: show Anyway, I liked the film. It had much better writing quality than the prequels IMO, and had much better special effects than even the prequels did. I thoroughly enjoyed it, and would watch it again.
