The EE of BotFA was far better than the TE. I could only shrug in disbelief at some of the cuts. The movie is much more cohesive and better paced as a result of many of the additions, most of which were excellent. They even seem to have fixed the wacky CGI Dain. Why they left a lot of this stuff...

After giving it over a week to soak in, I watched this for a second time yesterday. I enjoyed it far more, and that's mostly due to having acclimated to the fact that I had seen the first true Star Wars sequel in over 30 years. This time I was ready to simply sit back and enjoy it. There are...

I've seen almost no new movies this year. The three I can think of are: 1) Star Wars 2) Age of Ultron 3) Jurassic World That was easy.

I've tried getting into the Clone Wars cartoon as I've heard many good things about it, but I can't get past my aggressive dislike of the art style/animation.

Or Rey herself.

Perhaps because he likes Finn and doesn't consider him a thug? All his friends call him Han in the films. This shit isn't difficult to figure out. Fuck.

It's Ewan. There was a recent interview I read where they mentioned they originally used the voice of the Clone Wars Obi Wan actor, but Ewan popped in on a motorcycle to do the lines.

No, that line is definitely in RoTJ.

Twilight Zone indeed.

Did you forget to switch usernames?

And anyone who thinks Carrie Fisher phoned it in clearly hasn't seen Carrie Fisher recently. She's a goddam mess. I don't think anyone could have realistically wrenched a better performance out of her.

Srsly. I was there for TPM opening day, too. Three times actually. My friends and I took off work and saw the first show. When it ended, we snuck into another show. I saw it again that night with other people. People erupted for TPM because it was the first Star Wars movie in over 15...

They seemed endless at my showing. I think we saw a preview for every movie coming out in the next 10 years. Even the audience started laughing after a while.

They definitely mention that it had light-speed capability.

This one has a ridiculously obvious answer: Yoda killed the controls and guided the X-Wing to that location.

My theater was probably 70% regular adults, with the rest being kids/teenagers. There were not any costumes in the bunch at all, other than one little kid walking around with a Kylo Ren mask and cape, and I'm not sure he was even in my showing. There was plenty of cheering and applause...

My rule of thumb for 3D is to skip it unless the only way to watch something on the big beautiful IMAX screen is in 3D. Of course, that is typically the case these days.

Double post.

Not at all. TPM's chief complaints: Wooden acting Far too much plodding exposition "Yippee!" Jar Jar Binks Sterile, non-Star Wars type feel None of those apply here at all. I think the main problem is people are drawing a lot of comparisons with ANH, and fair enough; TFA borrows a...

As to one of Morrow's main complaints...

Maybe I'd react a bit better if I hadn't watched it on my phone, but that looks annoyingly bad.

Yeah, no kidding. He's awesome in Girls.

That looked like a cut scene from a video game or something. It's way too CG to be part of the actual film, but maybe it's based on a real scene. Who knows?

The first of the original movies was great. Two was a slide down in quality and the third was just dreadful...even worse than Bay #1, which wasn't a good movie but it was okay at parts. I had it on in the background on Netflix a few months ago, and it could have been pretty decent with a...

I got tickets for 9am Saturday morning. I don't want to deal with the crowds after work on a Friday night and worrying that we'll get shitty seats. The 9am theater has the best IMAX screen around and never seems to be crowded if you're there for an early show. We'll see what happens with this...

This trailer definitely had the most good old fashioned Star Wars feel to it. That shot of the Falcon leading the X-Wings past the asteroids really got me. Which reminds me, this goddam movie better have a goddam space battle in it.

This may very well turn out to be awful, but my 12-year-old self would be going nuts over this trailer, which is a lot more than could be said of the first movie's

Are you really that much of an Abrams hater? I honestly can't see this movie being any worse than "just okay". Granted, the first Star Wars sequel in 33 years better be much better than just okay, but it's gonna fucking suck? Based on what?

At least this time he has Kasdan, Kennedy, et al on board. What did he have for Star Trek? The guys who wrote a couple Transformers movies and some mediocre TV shows?

I think Abrams is much better suited to Star Wars than to Star Trek. I liked his first Star Trek movie well enough, but the second one, not so much. It would have been better if they didn't attempt to use a villain that was done 100x better in 1982. In any case, neither were great Star Trek...

I have yet to finish MoS. I watched about half of it at home, intending to come back to finish it, but I just could never muster up the interest. It wasn't offensively terrible or anything, but it took itself so seriously that it just came off as strained and dull. This movie looks silly.

Damn Mirelurk Queen ran me out of nearly all my ammunition. That was a long ass fight.

The new Star Trek movies contain good examples of great fan service and terrible fan service. The whole butchered character development of Khan and the reversed Kirk and Spock "death" scene at the end of the second movie was fan service gone bad. That may have worked alright in the hands of...

Call it whatever you want, but there's nothing inherently wrong with it as long as it isn't overly distracting and doesn't slow down or take away anything from the film. In any case I certainly wouldn't call Han Solo acting just like Han Solo "fan service". Maybe if he was wearing a Han Shot...

Oh come on. Han's lines and delivery have been absolutely perfect so far. I may have to avoid the internet when this comes out (yeah, I'm sure that will happen). I'm just getting too old to tolerate the impending waves of nerd rage that are sure to come from the basement goblins as they pick...
