Anyone else seen it yet? I just got back from it, don't want to talk about it too much if nobody else has seen it yet though.

big dog · December 14, 2017, 09:34:08 AM

Seeing it tomorrow, pretty excited.

There were some really dumb moments

But some really great ones

But the dumb shone very bright

Seeing it tomorrow after work, the theater I bought the tickets from oddly didn't let me choose seats like other showings did, I swear to fucking Christ I'm not sitting right up in the fucking front.

Goddamn I'm already annoyed with so much shit in the movie. Here's to hoping the second part is going to be better.

Are you on your phone during the film

I didn't use my phone during the movie you shits. For whatever reason, the movie had a break in the middle. Literally never seen that before over here.

I didn't realise those were still a thing. Last time I saw one was during the Chamber of Secrets.

i've never been to a film with an intermission, but i actually don't mind the concept

big dog · December 14, 2017, 01:14:49 PM

tbh the film is 2.5 hours long it probably needs an intermission

Anyways, as for the movie (no spoilers):

- Great visuals
- Great sound
- Pretty good general story direction
- Great action scenes

But then the dumb shit. Ugh. Just about every other scene had something that made me want to roll my eyes. Deus ex machina upon deus ex machina. Pacing issues and extremely unlikely events happening all the time. Every time the movie hints at something interesting happening, it's quashed the minute after. There's really good stuff too, but as Big Boss says, the dumb just shone really, really damn bright and dragged the movie down to me just feeling frustrated or annoyed way too often.

Worth the watch? Yeah, but only just because it's Star Wars and there's some cool and visually impressive stuff. Worth watching twice? Only reason I'd want to do that is so I could have a notepad and write down all of the dumb stuff as it happens.

Spoiler

What did you think of Super-Leia?

And the completely pointless Finn sidequest

Big Boss · December 14, 2017, 04:30:27 PM

My biggest gripe with the film is that it doesn't get me excited at all for what's to come.

After TFA I had this cheerful optimism, I was looking forward to seeing what awaited the characters in future, what's going to happen with Kylo Ren, Rey etc?

Now I just don't care

maverick · December 14, 2017, 04:37:34 PM

Seeing it at 1am. Haven’t seen any reviews or anything but I value Flood opinion more. Not sure what to expect.

It's a Star Wars movie so expect amazing reviews everywhere. It's an enjoyable movie but felt a bit lifeless and bizarre at points. Almost doesn't even feel like Star Wars a few times, to me.

Big Boss · December 14, 2017, 04:58:15 PM

Also the film felt kinda too long. I actually completely forgot about the salt planet until they actually went there, I was convinced the film would end sooner than it did.

Disney doesn't understand Star Wars, they understand what people think Star Wars is
