Really that’s a lot of whining about commercials. For a fraction of that energy he could have invested in a DVR and skipped the commercials.
Empire Strikes Back was better than the first. The third one was okay, but not great.
I’ll probably see it when it comes out at Red box.
I watched the first one 28 times in the theater. I got over it. I’m mildly interested in seeing this one when I can rent it on blue ray.
When it devolved into the Muppets in Return of the Jedi, I threw up in my mouth a little.
Empire strikes back is still the best Star Wars installment. The Force Awakens was not bad, actually good I’d say. But the original cast has not aged well. Especially Carrie Fisher. When she appears, it was kind of like that 4th Indiana Jones movie when Karen Allen (Marion) walks out and you want to say “Wow, you really let yourself go”.
For all the griping about Hollywood nowadays, this movie has no profanity at all in it, no sex, no nudity, and about the same level of violence of any of the other star wars films. There were some themes that were similar to “A New Hope” but I didn’t see it as a re-hash so much as staying true to the originals, thematically. There was a bit of a gender swap, where the girl was flying the ship and the guy was shooting, which is flipped from the original, but it was cute.
But at the end, I want to know who is Ray exactly, and who is Finn’s family. And more Poe Dameron!
Han Solo shot first then shot the alien again and again and again then kicked him then flipped a coin to the barkeep saying “sorry about the mess”
Something about Ford’s leading ladies obviously makes them age poorly! :-D
Great observation, marron. This behavior is akin to clickbait headlines...nothing more than grandstanding...
She was a baby...everyone looks pretty good at that age.
Even the political chat shows took a break from politics to talk about the movie. Nobody's going to be all politics all the time.
Still, if she doesn't go for fantasy films, how is her not liking this one of any significance?
I'd rather hear somebody who loves the fantasy/SF genre badmouth the picture (or talk back to the bad-mouthers and defend the film).
