Runtime: 136 mincan we quit crying about it getting "cut in half"? it's the same length as every other star wars movie.
- it's actually one of the two longest episodes.scarabin
- sorry, *fourscarabin
- I think it was probably cut - final length is irrelevant - my point was it needed 15-30mins of slower paced stuff to build suspense.fadein11
- you can see a lot of shoe-horning in it.fadein11
- v.little suspense in it which is odd for a SW movie.fadein11
- True, more a pacing issue than a runtime issueburd-turglar
- Yup, agreed, too consistent and evenformed
- if you mean it never got boring, yeah i agreescarabin
- there was plenty of pacing contrast, rey scavenging for example was a lot slower and intimate than say, a star fight. and the scene with han and kyloscarabin
- was primarily characterized by suspense. did you even see the movie?scarabin
- Settle down there sparkles, it's a little thing called difference of opinionburd-turglar
- there's no need to call people names, gilga.scarabin
- Wow you are one sensitive guy huhburd-turglar
- you don't see the irony in you trying to insult me over having a difference of opinion with someone?scarabin
- (here's a hint: you're making a personal attack while i was actually staying on topic)scarabin
- So calling you sparkles constitutes a personal attack lol, good greif stop being a drama queenburd-turglar
- Isn't that your nickname, sparkles, sparky, something like that lol. Geez pal go take a quaaaalude or something, loosen upburd-turglar
- lol. no, it isn't. and nothing i've said comes even close to how worked up you've gotten in other exchanges on qbn lately. again with the ironyscarabin
- Well I hope you find it in your heart to forgive me for verbally attacking you by calling you sparkles lol, get a gripburd-turglar
- pointing out your hypocrisy isn't the same as giving a fuck. don't worry, i won't hold it against you.scarabin
- Seeing as how you argued with me for 200+ posts not too long ago, I fail to see how you have any moral high ground here sparklesburd-turglar
- you fail to see a lot of things. i still forgive you.scarabin
- Thank goodness for that sparky, glad to hear that my viscious verbal assault didn't wound you too deepburd-turglar
- already said it's cool man, don't make this awkward. you're kind of being creepy nowscarabin
- Isn't that horrible, first I assault you verbally and now I've made you feel akward, oh the injustice, how ever will you copeburd-turglar
- i'm sure i'll survive somehowscarabin
- Scarabin - you do need to chill out - people are entitled to have a different opinion than you - and let's face it you watched it on acid - are you sure you hadfadein11
- a grip of pacing in the film, acid plays with temporal cognition in some funny ways. Just chill out - yes you loved it. It was good. But could have been evenfadein11
- better with some more attention to cinematic foundations such as plot, pacing and character development. But yes - as I said my rating went up to 7/10 afterfadein11
- viewing again. Are you even a Star Wars fan? Because you are in the minority for not noticing a few of it's lazy faults.fadein11
- yeah, i host a star wars RPG every week at my place and build lightsabers in my spare time. i just don't agree that pacing was an issue, and i feel thatscarabin
- mirroring the original films actually help save the series instead of being a writing crutch. i'm also aware of exactly how acid effects me and in general thatscarabin
- effect is one of increased attention to detail and an immunity to the effects of sleepiness. i think being tired watching the film at 1 am had more of an effectscarabin
- on people than my low dose of acid did. people are cranky, tired, hazy, stood in line for too long, whateverscarabin
- i'm cool with your 7/10 rating– the movie was just a fun space fantasy. it's the 4/10 business that blows my mindscarabin
- i also avoided all trailers and teasers, articles, etc about the movie beforehand so i went in with no expectations. many others had the hype get the bestscarabin
- of them only to be let down.scarabin
- okay - that's cool - just feel you seem to only be open to one opinion on things - yours. lol. Laterz, Enjoy the rest of the festivities.fadein11
- i agree i came on a little strong, my bad. it's just a movie after all.
cheers manscarabin
