Star Wars: The Force Awakens

[LedRush]

I finally watched The Force Awakens. Wow. It is a bad movie.

Really? What bits didn't you like? Characters? Actors? Story? CGI? The execution of it all?

 

[Edited to add just this]:

For whatever reason, I was thinking of Rogue One even though I was reading Force Awakens. I'm a much less surprised but my questions still stand.

Full disclosure, I'm not a Star Wars fan. I enjoyed the original trilogy. I think they are fun movies, but I can't, for the life of me, figure out why they took off the way it did. It's a phenomenon I don't understand. I hated the prequels. I think they are bloated, misguided and took themselves far too seriously.

 

I never got the chance to see The Force Awakens in the theater, but I read the glowing reviews and took it for what it's worth. Then the negative reviews started appearing. It's just a remake of A New Hope. It's derivative. It's manipulative. It's shallow. I took the reviews for what it's worth. Now, I believe if a movie is well made and good and if it puts a spin on preconceptions it shouldn't matter if you read all the spoilers or if you read negative reviews. If it's good it will entertain you and surprise you. Well, The Force Awakens failed miserable on all fronts. From the very beginning of the movie I couldn't shake off the fact that I saw all of it before. All of it. The plot. The characters. The action. Everything was a carbon copy from the original trilogy. The biggest problem were all the massive plot holes. And once again, the use of the "Force". The stupidest single movie device ever conceived.

 

The Force Awakens is one huge manipulative and exploitative movie. It's like a beautiful and enticing chocolate Easter bunny. It looks delicious, but as soon as you bite into it, it crumbles into a mess.

 

The negative and critical reviews I read before seeing it were 100% accurate.

 

Rogue One was an okay movie. I liked it. It's a masterpiece compared to The Force Awakens.

I am critical but I consider myself a fan of the universe. I don't have a problem with the force, it's not different than the magic of Harry Potter or Disney or the magical world of the hobbit. However, when it is established that being able to use it requires a lot of training I have a problem with neophytes being able to successfully face off against a trained opponent like kylo Ren. If it was just Rey you could hold out hope that the next movie would explain some secret past where she forgot her training but they also let Finn wield a saber against Ren and mostly hold his own. Silliness.

I remember Ren stopping a laser beam. He stopped a friggin' laser beam with the force. Later on, he uses the force to throw Rey a hundred feet into a tree. Then, yes, Finn picks up a sabre and holds his own. Dumb.

 

You mean after Ren was shot in the stomach with one of the most powerful blasters in the universe and was keeping his insides in his body with the force and gut punches? Or after he killed his father even though he knew it was completely wrong and he was strongly pulled to leave the dark side? Oh wait...both.

 

And Ren hasn't had a sword fight in years...he dispatched of Finn quickly once shit got real. And we see Rey growing more and more powerful with the Force as the movie continues.

 

The only real plot holes I saw involved the Starkiller.

 

TFA did a much better job of making me care for the characters and invested in the movie than Rogue One, but both are lightyears better than Episodes 1 and 2.

Rey, Finn and Chewbacca could have blasted Ren away after he killed Han Solo.

 

If the Force can be weakened by blaster shots why the difficulty with the Dark side constantly re-emerging?

 

It's a dumb and uninspired movie.

 

Chewy tried...and got off a good shot that severely injured him. After that, everyone in the base were shooting at them. I don't think it's a stretch to, in that situation, Chewie's actions can be criticized. As for Rey and Finn, they took some shots at the people who were shooting at them, 4 seconds after they saw Han killed, and after that Ren blocks anything.

 

And the Force isn't weakened by blaster shots...not sure where you came up with that one. Or why you think it related to the dark side reemerging (which has happened once in the star wars movies...this one.)

On Bespin Darth Vader took blaster shots that he absorbed with his hand and sat down at a table to chit chat. He wasn't injured or weakened in any way.

The Force is stupid.

 

Who trained Rey? She's like Supergirl!

[goose]

 

The Force is stupid.

 

What it morphed into kind of is.

[Principled Man]

Who trained Rey?

 

Rey trained herself.

 

The first Jedi had no teachers. They had to train themselves in the discipline of utilizing the Force. Once they mastered it, they passed on what they learned.

 

Rey is a strong Force-sensitive human, and she quickly learned how to use it. :haz:

Who trained Rey? She's like Supergirl!

 

She got stronger by Ren's prying into her mind and by testing out what she learned from those experiences. Force sensitive people have been using the Force without training in the Star Wars universe for a long time.

[chemistry1973]

Harrison Ford carried the movie on his 73 year old shoulders.

 

"This is NOT how I thought my day was going to go…"

 

 

Han Solo: What was your job when you were based here?

Finn: Sanitation.

Han Solo: Sanitation? Then how do you know how to disable the shields?

Finn: I don't. I'm just here to get Rey.

Han Solo: People are counting on us. The galaxy is counting on us.

Finn: Solo, we'll figure it out. We'll use the Force.

Han Solo: That's not how the Force works!

 

 

Leia: You know, no matter how much we fought... I've always hated watching you leave.

Han Solo: That's why I did it. So you'd miss me.

 

And the best one:

Rey: What are you gonna do?

Han Solo: Same thing I always do. Talk my way out of it.

[Chewie growls a comment]

Han Solo: Yes, I do. EVERY TIME.

She most likely was already using it without knowing it, just like many others. But as she understood what it was and begin to test her power against Ren, her abilities grew.

 

The best movie in the series by far is Empire. Somehow the 3 hours of training he got on the Falcon, some practice, and a couple of days with Yoda were enough to give him all the skills to be a Jedi (just minus the experience).

Ah. So, Luke Skywalker wasn't Force sensitive enough? It seemed it took him a while to learn to use the Force as well a Rey does after a few days on her own.

 

Anyway, none of this rationalization is winning me over.

Was is only a couple of days?

 

Damn, the more I think about it the more I think these movies are silly and dumb.

 

I'm out. May the Force be with you all.

Damn, the more I think about it the more I think these movies are silly and dumb.

 

I'm out. May the Force be with you all.

Kylo Ren was my biggest complaint about the movie. First off he looked nothing like either of his parents. Totally unbelievable. Then he was just a whiny brat.

Who trained Rey?

 

Rey trained herself.

 

The first Jedi had no teachers. They had to train themselves in the discipline of utilizing the Force. Once they mastered it, they passed on what they learned.

 

Rey is a strong Force-sensitive human, and she quickly learned how to use it. :haz:

 

She most likely was already using it without knowing it, just like many others. But as she understood what it was and begin to test her power against Ren, her abilities grew.

 

The best movie in the series by far is Empire. Somehow the 3 hours of training he got on the Falcon, some practice, and a couple of days with Yoda were enough to give him all the skills to be a Jedi (just minus the experience).

Was is only a couple of days?

I understand and know it's unrealistic. I have no problem suspending my disbelief. I have a problem when it's inconsistent and lacks basic logic within the plot or story. The Force is a farce. May it be with you.

So we'll just add this to the list of simple things that you aren't able to understand. Got it.

Weren't you leaving? Is a joke based on ERB of History really enough to make you expose pettiness so blatantly?

 

These aren't the conversations you're looking for. Move along.

Every once in a while, like the Perseids, it happens.

[workingcinderellaman]

. The Force is a farce.

And it's no match for a good blaster by your side.

Very enjoyable movie, but they got a little too cutesy with the references... a solid 7.5/10

[Derek19]

When I saw it in 3-D in theatres, I liked a lot, and thought it's really good continuation to "Star Wars: Episode VI - Return of the Jedi".
