Star Wars: The Force Awakens

Darth Thor is doing his attack everyone who disagrees with him thing. He's in pain despite claiming to be a Star Wars fan and now the purchase being a huge success so you'd think he'd celebrate the positivity. Instead he's saying this movie sucks and it is only making money because of the time it came out and Disney advertised. Wtf. I always said he wasn't a true Star Wars fan. I hope I've opened the rest of your eyes.

Oh, drop the 'true SW fan' bit. True SW fans are entitled to their own opinions.

As am I.

Yes, you are.

Use arguments, not trolling.

TFA was good. I enjoyed it.

I saw that.

Favorite new character and favorite moment of the film? Bring in some positive mojo.

That's stupid.

If the movie is bad but a financial success then Disney will continue to make bad Star Wars movies.

Isn't that the case for all blockbusters though? People who watched this movie didn't know if they were going to like it or not until after they'd paid.

It's not like a sleeper hit that makes no money at all the first week, but when the word comes people start seeing it like crazy.

Most fans are able to critique things they like, fanboy was invented for those who couldn't.

Firstly I've not once said this movie sucks. I've just said I was disappointed in it, and given my criticisms.

2nd Many film franchises have a big media company like Disney or WB behind them, so that point is only to say the comparison to Lucas's SW financial success is not a fair one. Not that that's THE ONLY Reason this is making money Lol

3rd Of course I'm happy SW is the biggest franchise again. When did I say otherwise? Some Trolls are getting confused between the parallels I was making to the Prequels and my overall thoughts on the franchise.

I would just be happier if I enjoyed this particular movie more that's all.

Well, I hope you won't be disappointed in Episode VIII then.

Different directors did wonders for the OT, maybe it'll work just as good here.

That's up to the director. If he makes a good movie then I'll enjoy it.

Is Kasdan going to be taking on George Lucas's role as the guy who "knows" how the story is going to progress or will that be Abrams?

Thanks. That's what I'm hoping for. 👆

I like what Rian Johnson did with Looper.

Kasdan will be helping Johnson as well, however it won't be shocking if Abrams is somehow involved ....

that being said I have enjoyed the resurgence that Abrams has brought.. I loved this film and will be seeing it a few more times . Clearly glad that he mixed the old with the new.

It wasn't bad at all. It was good but nowhere near great.

I critiqued it just fine. I didn't say it was amazing because to me it wasn't. But to me bad mouthing Star Wars success isn't the right thing to do. I didn't care for phantom menace or aotc but rots is still my favorite so you see where I am going.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens was (unfortunately for the haters) a "Good" movie...at least going by critics and financial success. To call it a bad movie is completely an opinion.

As far as Abrams is concerned, I believe he's staying on as a producer.

I'd rate TFA a solid 8.5. ANH would be a 9. 2 great movies.

IMO, TFA is a solid 9.9999.... ANH is a solid 9

both are great

This bull s*** again? It's all opinions.

Yes, so? That's what we do here.

Here's a simple comparison between the PT and TFA: PT was boring most of the time, TFA was not. Ergo, TFA was more entertaining.
