fade, i don't know about you but the more we discuss it the more forgiving i feel about the film's flaws and am excited to see it again for what it is.
one thing it checked for sure is the nostalgia box, and there's still a lot of very good in it.- that's what JJ is good at right now...nostalgia retro updatesdocpoz
- Yep - I am also worried because I watched it late when really tired I didn't have the right mindset... perhaps I have been harsh. I just expected to be blownfadein11
- away especially after reading all the reviews/reactions.fadein11
- I will be seeing it again with daughter as she loves them all (and I guess that is the point) - not catering to old nostalgic men. But there are problems, Ifadein11
- really didn't see the masterpiece people are saying it is. But anyway - everyone enjoy it for what it is, a fun movie. I will try to leave my cringe face at thefadein11
- desk next time ha.fadein11
- Nostalgia retro update films?

1/5, max score.nb - You even seen it yet?ETM
- No, I may not. It just bums me out that nearly all the top-grossing movies are sequels or franchise films these days.nb
- Which is not the fault of Star Wars or any particular franchise.nb
- Sorry, I don't mean to go off-topic here. My complaints about SW are the same ones I'd have about Transformers, TMNT, Spiderman, Fast&Furious, etc.nb
- always some asshat that hates everything popular. its popular bc its good dude. people love star wars. its far beyond transformers or tmntCygnusZero4
- I don't hate everything popular. I wish that original ideas could make lots of money, inspiring more original ideas. Instead we get an endless stream of remakesnb
- As I said, my only complaint about Star Wars is that it contributes to the same problem as those other films I mentioned. I didn't say it was as bad as them.nb
- I have to agree nb - the 5 trailers before SW were all of that trend...fadein11
- Look at the top grossing films for the past few years. 8 (or 9) out of the top 10 will be remakes or franchises. It's simply the way it is these days.nb
- It's just safe betting - studios don't risk their entire business on original work and creating new fanbases - they have a readymade audience with this stuff.fadein11
- They used to and many nearly and did go under on one film production.fadein11
- Yep. Star Wars, like the others, is a movie produced as commerce, not art.nb
