Star Wars VII

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Went to see it with a couple of old friends, was a good nostalgia trip and an ok film, but I can understand iesus point of view if one expects a masterpiece because of all raving reviews. One of my friends had similar feelings, thought the film wasn't worth the enormous hype. Which of course it wasn't, but I still thouroughly enjoyed it. Most of us on this forum are like 30 to 50 years old and were kids when the original trilogy came to the cinemas. I don't think neither this nor any other film would be able to reproduce the feeling you had back then, but that being said, I don't see how there could be a better try than this movie.

Our first conversation with my friends after we exit the cinema was "Let's make a Star Trek marathon with pizza pepperoni and beers and everything to recover!" And believe me ... We were all once Star Wars fans :lol:

It's true: some people like it some don't.

But, such big success proves that money on marketing (which is also on good reviews, official by real journalists and some semi professional bloggers) were well spend. But of course, if the movie wasn't good enough then people wouldn't storm cinemas that much.

I thought it was great mostly because it was like the first films i.e. a not to be taken too seriously sci-fi film. Where these things go wrong is when the geeks build these things up to be like The Green Mile or Citizen Kane (insert your own worthy and important movie if you like).

Star Wars is often described as a 'life-changing' movie but the lives it often changed were those of kids who were easily impressed back in the day :lol:

For what it's worth I took my lad to see it and he's the same age I was back in 1978 when I saw Star Wars. Compared to the other movies he's seen actually at the Cinema he said it was the best and those other movies were Wreck-It Ralph, Despicable Me and Inside Out. When we got home he went back to his WWE figures with John Cena kicking the f**k out of The Undertaker wheras back in '78 I played with me R2D2 figure and dreamed of being a Jedi.

Are we allowed to put spoilers yet? Or any of the fan theories? (I love the Finn/Poe shipping :lol:)

I'm particularly keen on the idea that Luke could actually be a Sith lord now, not a Jedi...

Finally got to see this.

Seems more like "Star Wars: Greatest Hits" than an actual new film.

Not so sure.
Remember (according to Smee) Anakin never had a father. He just "came about" because of midichlorians.
What's to say Rey isn't another immaculate conception? :wink:

My favourite is Kylo Ren and what makes me especially proud is that his stunt man was Hungarian. His name is Gyula Toth he worked in many famous films. ( Game of Thrones, Hercules, Age of Ultron and much more.)

Adam was very kind because when the shooting was finished he specifically thanked him for his work and hugged him.

My two dimes in theories about:
1-Rey is Luke's daughter
2-She will lose her arm in the next movie
3-Chewbacca will end as flokati rug for the Siths
4-Rey will eat Quiche Lorraine and become Sith apprentice
5-Siths will built an even bigger Death Star that will be destroyed the same way the previous 2 destroyed the last moment
6-Disney will buy also the Star Trek too and finish what they start with Star Wars by destroying all the space fiction series

I wonder how many teenage girls have tried that excuse.
Any more of that and we'll be round your front door with the quick-setting whitewash and the shaved monkey.

Saw it again last night. Still loved it.

Was so hoping to go again tonight, but the snow's got so bad I'd never make it over the hills to the cinema. :(

Of course I had to watch it again after the first time. So that's 2. The third one was because I wanted to see it in 3D as well. But that was dubbed in my language (it is not played in the original language in 3D). ...and I wanted to watch it the fourth time because the dubbed version was so bad that I had to see it again in English. :lol:

Oddly enough, when episode I was dubbed in Hungarian, Jar Jar Binks was actually not that bad.

Not everybody was bad. For example Han Solo has been dubbed by the same actor since New Hope (Csernák János). He was really good. I think Rey's voice was ok too. I think they didn't get Leia's voice right. But you could guess who the worst one was.. Kylo Ren's mask voice was screwed up.
