    Saw it today, posted this to FB:

    Alright... So I liked The Force Awakens quite a bit, but really want to watch 4,5,6 again to determine how infrequently the human characters injected obvious humor into the movie. C3PO was the primary comedic element that carried on through all the movies. Much of the humor between the human roles was dry, almost Kubrick like in the original movies. Then 1,2, and 3 took a giant crap on that aspect of the series. For that reason I didn't like some of the lines and actions by Finn. The mannerisms just seemed very unlike anything that would happen in a world like that.

    Altogether I enjoyed it but was reminded how much I cringe when people clap and cheer during a movie.

    • Like when he was all up in phasmas face saying" how you like that?!?!

      Felt like a teen flick. oh wait, it is. lol

    • Droid, please.freedom
    • Finn was a little awkward and energetic considering he didn't even have a name and was a mindless soldier with a lifetime of training?freedom
    • A New Hope was full of then current 70's era tropes from feathered hair to open collar shirts. Can't really fault for some modern day tropes.ETM
    • And by that I mean Finn's more "current" method of addressing Phasma. But I admit, I initially cringed a little when he did it too.ETM
    • Also is it just folks from the U.S. that cheer and clap in movies? I have never experienced that even on blockbuster movie opening nights.ETM
    • Depends on the movie. I heard people clap/cheer last night at hateful 8. its not super common from what I've seen.sofakingback
    • Although, I must confess. I cheered the M.Falcon!!!!! Don't hate me!!!!! my childhood falcon takes flight again!!! lolsofakingback
    • i went to a pre-release of the original LOTR, the crowd was cosplayed out, orcs, elf nerds etc... there was clapping, crying, fetal positions, looking up at godprophetone
    • Solo w/ Phasma: "...is there a garbage chute, a trash compactor?"... Finn: "yeah bro, it's so lit."prophetone
    • you mean you didnt like when finn went all sister act on phasma? (why is this in a star wars movie??)CygnusZero4
    • "yeah bro, it's so lit." Is that supposed to be a quote? Didn't he just say, "yeah there is" or something to that nature?ETM
    • it's the more "current method of addressing the tweens nowadays i.e. "that death star is lit af..."prophetone
