Well it was original fan-fic...first half tedious, second half quite enjoyable Sports_Gambler Send a noteboard - 21/12/2017 06:14:35 AM

It was definitely odd. Felt like fan-fiction. Everything seemed sort of 'off key' and hence it didn't feel like a 'Star Wars' movie. But on the up-side, it was an original take!

The theme seemed to be 'out with the old, in with the new', and it seemed like they were gently parodying the whole 'Star Wars' canon (leaned too far towards the light-hearted in the first half, taking the mickey out of the Star Wars universe and I can see how this could annoy some fans).

I was bored with the first half. But it did come alive in the second half and I thought it was fun. The 'Porg' were memorable creatures! There's an original creature done well!

Top marks for originality, but it just didn't quite work.

That's about the only thing that is NOT spoiled by viewing the original trilogy Cannoli - 18/12/2017 11:51:30 PM 808 Views
It opened tonight. Just got back from seing it random thoughts - 15/12/2017 04:57:22 AM 1065 Views
I found it very underwhelming to be honest. Legolas - 15/12/2017 06:57:39 PM 1049 Views
But you don't like anything..... *NM* Anonymous2000 - 15/12/2017 08:14:39 PM 346 Views
I like plenty of stuff. The latest Thor movie, for instance. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:33:39 AM 713 Views
But this story was not only halfway decent, it was the best Star Wars story ever! Cannoli - 18/12/2017 11:52:35 PM 712 Views
very minor spoilers random thoughts - 15/12/2017 08:43:44 PM 708 Views
Big spoilers. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:55:05 AM 865 Views
I think the two go hand it hand (still spoliers) random thoughts - 16/12/2017 01:43:00 AM 765 Views
Fair point. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:42:54 PM 843 Views
Thank you. I was looking for a breakdown but that tells me enough. Tom - 18/12/2017 01:45:41 AM 845 Views
Agreed with everything you wrote here. The Shrike - 18/12/2017 12:22:56 PM 774 Views
Well, I hope they are. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:32:29 PM 739 Views
The story being pretty weak? Roland00 - 15/12/2017 10:03:51 PM 806 Views
Well, in the computer games, for one. Legolas - 16/12/2017 12:29:31 AM 739 Views
I have mixed feelings about it. The Shrike - 18/12/2017 12:18:05 PM 755 Views
"The middle of a trilogy is usually the weakest" ... except The Empire Strikes Back Tom - 18/12/2017 02:45:26 PM 671 Views
Yes. Both the good and evil camps are shallow imitations of the original series. Legolas - 18/12/2017 06:59:14 PM 692 Views
I found it confusing, terrible and kind of boring *spoilers* AgentApple - 16/12/2017 10:41:34 PM 807 Views
I very much agree with this review AgentApple - 16/12/2017 11:06:55 PM 846 Views

The Jedi were slave owners random thoughts - 18/12/2017 01:42:19 PM 704 Views
Yet they still managed to create a pretty great political system Tom - 18/12/2017 02:46:54 PM 725 Views
They weren't the owners, that was the Republic/Senate Cannoli - 19/12/2017 01:38:05 PM 727 Views
stop making excuses for the slave masters random thoughts - 19/12/2017 03:22:54 PM 637 Views
They are no different than Eisenhower, MacArthur or Pershing, all of whom led slave soldiers Cannoli - 20/12/2017 12:09:33 AM 757 Views
draftees are not biologically modified slaves random thoughts - 20/12/2017 02:49:33 PM 720 Views
No, they're just ill-prepared slaves Cannoli - 21/12/2017 11:34:02 AM 753 Views
No the Jedi sucked random thoughts - 21/12/2017 04:18:48 PM 738 Views

I got up and walked out. *spoilers* aerocontrols - 18/12/2017 07:48:42 PM 779 Views
I'm confused. Legolas - 18/12/2017 08:19:48 PM 733 Views
You may have walked out a bit early... *NM* Ghavrel - 21/12/2017 09:41:00 PM 368 Views
It's kind of hilarious how divided opinion is on this movie... Legolas - 18/12/2017 07:53:12 PM 889 Views
That would explain much *NM* AgentApple - 19/12/2017 07:15:36 AM 426 Views
I really liked it as a deconstruction of Star Wars. Ghavrel - 19/12/2017 10:34:59 PM 808 Views
You're going to have to elaborate on that one... Legolas - 19/12/2017 11:22:01 PM 854 Views

It is JJ Abrams and the idiot critics love him random thoughts - 20/12/2017 02:51:06 PM 768 Views
Abrams didn't do this film. Rian did. *NM* Ghavrel - 21/12/2017 09:46:21 PM 394 Views
It's not real opinion that's divided. Tom - 20/12/2017 02:59:59 PM 948 Views
Did anyone else think... *spoilers* Duke - 20/12/2017 05:04:44 AM 1193 Views
Well it was original fan-fic...first half tedious, second half quite enjoyable Sports_Gambler - 21/12/2017 06:14:35 AM 948 Views
