DC fans tend to be Star Wars fans. That's what I've noticed anyway. Don't know why though.

Star Wars is pretty symbolic in a simple way. It's a heros quest. You need to see it with a children's mentality, unlike some fictions that force themselves to be gritty. Much like DC actually.

Which is why Quan likes both of them in such a fanboyish way.

(MoS was still a disappointment though)

So, are you trying to say that DC is grittier than Marvel?

No, my intention was linking Starwars and DC.

There are DC alternate stories and universes that fit that description though (the afore mentioned MoS being the prime example).

Embargo has lifted.

Very early reviews are positive.

This film has a strong chance to defeat Avatar at the box office.

We'll see...

But the film is currently sitting at 100% on RT with over 50 reviews in!

For once Quan could be right.

Quan is not all that wrong all the time. He sometimes holds random beefs against legitimately good films for seemingly no reason, but otherwise he's as mainstream as an audience can get.

According to Empire:" Kylo Ren is the best villain in franchise history."

Holy shit!

Finally someone dethrones Dooku!

TOMORROW NIGHT I CAN'T WAIT

They also mention how casually powerful he is.

Almost all the reviews heavily praise Driver's Kylo.

Also many of the reviews have praised the new leads. Glad we don't seem to be getting another Hayden.

Thank ****ing god.

In seven hours I will see TFA...

The first reviews in The Netherlands are good!

Firstly Hayden's not a bad actor. He was just given terrible material in AOTC which was his debut. And a few equally bad lines in ROTS.

Secondly don't make up your mind already based on "reviews."

I agree. Hayden got the worst material.

So did Hamill, Ford and Fisher in 1977, but at least then there was room to make it work. On the PT you had to do and say your thing they way Lucas wanted the actors to do it. And then he turned out to be more a visionary than an actor's director (or writer).

Well Hamill, Ford and Fisher certainly understood the kind of performances a movie like Star Wars needed. Hayden didn't unfortunately.

Should have got Sam Witwer to play Anakin Skywalker. He would have TOTALLY Killed it. Not because he's the best actor in the world, but because he Gets Star Wars, and the kind of performances required.

I hope they do eventually give him a main role in a Star Wars movie.

Don't forget the big difference was that Hamill, Fisher & Ford had real sets & props around them to set the mood & get the feel of the universe they were supposed to be in.

Hayden & the rest of the actors for the prequels had nothing but a barren stage & blue screen behind them. All their acting seemed wooden. They memorised their
dialogues & relied on Lucas to describe what was supposed to be behind & around them.
