    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
