Very Disappointing. Shows you need Lucas to make Star Wars

    What a downer.

    Is this really star wars?

    A character in the FIRST FILM, because she has the force totally owns the main VILLAIN?

    A non-force user fighting with a lightsaber?

    This lacked that magic of Star Wars that were in the other films. Just can't believe how this was handled.

    But it's Abrams...what do you expect. No filmmaking sophistication.

    George Lucas...looks like you get the last laugh.

    Well, the scene where the trooper with the vibrolame shows why Finn knows how to handle a sword. The scene where Han shoot with the crossbow shows how strong is the weapon and how much Kylo was weakened when Chewie shot him and Rey is strong with the Force much like Anakin. She's good at piloting, fixing and fighting, we saw it on Jakku.

    It's not that incredible.

    You have let me down AllhailVader. I was expecting some real fire. You just repeated what you have already said a million times before. Your opinion and Emperor Abrams were the ones I was really looking forward to reading. And since Emp Ab got the can I was going to have to rely on you.

    I thought maybe there would be more to Finn, like he was a secret agent plant in the FO and not just a Han Solo replacement but more or less that is what he is at this point. I am however holding out that he is in fact FS and it will come out more in Ep 8.

    If I let out my real view....I'd get banned.

    The movie made me sick.

    And Daisy Ridley's acting and her character.....my goodness gracious me

    You are actually defending a non force user wield a lightsaber?

    Why can't anyone who fights with a sword also fight with a lightsaber?

    I saw it twice and I didn't like it it's so unoriginal. This movie is everything wrong with modern films.

    sorry folks @AllHailVader is entitled to his opinion.

    Whether you like it or not.

    Now, if he was trolling his opinion an ugly fashion then that would be different.

    This is CLEARLY his view...

    I think maybe your disappointment over Finn is bleeding into your perception of Rey. Even the biggest TFA detractors almost to a person has nothing but praise for her performance, as they do with Boyega. Or is it more the Rey's role as a character in the story?

    The character of Rey is so boring I don't see why we should care about her at all.

    Bro...the film was a mess. Nothing original, just a nostalgia fest. At least Lucas brought some new ideas and concepts.
    --- Double Post Merged, Dec 19, 2015, Original Post Date: Dec 19, 2015 ---

    Thank you. Did not like the film. A few good things but some fundamental problems.

    Um I cared about her in that she seemed very caring and compassionate person and demonstrated it multiple times. She also had to endure some tough times, dealing with abandonment and surviving a pretty harsh life as a lone sort of drifter. She also was a gifted and tenacious fighter who has an important future. Finally I also found myself asking, what exactly did happen at the Jedi Order, is she really Luke's daughter, what happened and who is her mother along with others. Daisy I thought was very sincere and believe able in her acting. My only point where I do share some concern was how quick she went from almost zero force awareness to being able to out duel KR.

    I promise to you and I swear...I thought her performance was really not good. Line delivery, facial expressions, just was off-note to me.

    Reys usage of the force contradicts the series of star wars.
    --- Double Post Merged, Dec 19, 2015, Original Post Date: Dec 19, 2015 ---
    I really wanted to like this movie but I just don't. I don't see how people are loving this movie its a cheap rehash are peoples standards for movies so low they consider this an amazing movie.
    --- Double Post Merged, Dec 19, 2015 ---
    You can tell this film was made by Disney.

    Yep. They are marketing their Disney princess, and are turning Star Wars into something totally different.

    But man, Daisy Ridley's performance as the lead just took me out of the film...

    See here is where you start messing up. I am really trying to check myself in terms of just letting people who have a negative opinion be for the most part. Please don't assume people have low, or lower standards just because they don't share your opinion. That sort of thinking is how the whole us versus them thing starts.

    Uh oh, another one saying those who like it must have poor taste in film.

    Well if Kurosawa, Kubrick and Hitchcock is poor taste in film, you've got me spot on.


    You've got your opinion, which is fine, but then saying the alternative is obviously because of a lack of standards is just idiocy.
