I am still astounded that my friends and I are in such a minority who were so disappointed... Seeing again tomorrow night with my daughter so hopefully will enjoy it more on the 2nd run.
My gripes were not a case of needing to let go and just enjoy it for what it was, they were due to some major flaws in a film that could have been so much better.
Plot - so so weak and rehash of previous film - 3rd Death Star - please!?
Scottish space pirate - wtf? that whole scene is just terrible
Pacing - film needed at least an extra half hour to add suspense and necessary set-up for new trilogy.
Kylo Ren - Darth Emo.
Another desert planet?
Snoke - WTF?
Han Solo SPOILER ALERT - THE scene - lame. One of my favourite cinematic characters of all time and didn't feel a slightest bit of emotion that he died at the hands of his emo son. Not enough background on Han / Leia / Kylo to care a jot.
Chewie got over it v.quickly lol.That aside it also had some great moments.
Just a v.flawed film.
- I totally agree. Watched A New Hope on Saturday and seriously there was so much more imagination, creativity and emotion! The Han Solo bit was just 'oh well'Ianbolton
- It was a funny, action-based sci-fi romp but why didn't I give a shit about hardly any of the characters?Ianbolton
- Still think it's more JJ Abrams style more than anything. Big, brash and bold but lacking any substance.Ianbolton
- I agree fadein********
- These criticisms are valid, though still loved it. There's SO much to like in this film. SO much was done really really well.inteliboy
- ^ yep there was but I always struggle to like a film a lot if basics like plot, character and pacing are not in order.fadein11
- agree on every point, but im still looking forward to the next one.CygnusZero4
- Agreed on all counts. I hate when a movie with genre masterpiece/mileston... potential falls apart in ways that could've been easily avoided.raf
- forget about all that shit, how did you feel though? emotionally... we can nit pick it to death, your points are all valid but did you feel better about this..._niko
- ...than the last 3? tell me you weren't teary eyed in a few scenes._niko
- Niko bro, was that you crying at Fenway theater last night********
