I love usa the the way before pearl harbour
Hollywood is bad now only comic book stories

Goods movies are being made these days as well. You just don't have those genre specialists like the 90s any more

 

[24 Hours]

Saw it recently, it was alright. They played it really safe here.

I feel the female lead awakening of her, erm, force came a little too abrupt. The bad guy doesn't look the part & poor Han Solo... It was underwhelming for me. Hope the subsequent episodes fare better.

No mate, he was trained by Luke for a while, they mention it in the film and it's in the fiction.

But that boss Snoke says he wants to completely finished training on Rey.

Leia in the original movies was sacrastic, witty and strong. In the new films she just looks like the typical badass "good guy" and is much less interesting.

The movie was disappointing to me , as a avid fan


#NOT BELIEVABLE & and plagiarized story
First of all I did not found it believable, that a structure Bigger then death star could be destroyed by few X wing fighters , who just came up with the strategy in a meeting held on ground , with absolutely no concrete intelligence. While in orgional it took the Jedi pilot to knock out the star , this time a , UNKNOWN pilot was enough.

#The Black GUY
? as storm trooper just don't know they tried to make him like Will Smith but he was not funny and not charismatic, really did not understand what his role was in movie ?

# The Young Actress and her British Accent
Really in a Galaxy far far far away , people are speaking with THICK British accent
and she already knows how to use force ? what


# The Villan
Had anger problems , should have taken some relaxing pills , constantly destroying office property, reminded me of myself when I get angry watching Shahid Afridi bat

Lost to a Young actress in SABER fight how , pathetic is that ? The girl is barely even able to beat R2D2

#Princess Leah , or General , is completely waste not even a kiss with Han solo I guess old age does kills the sexual spark , she was pretty boring.

F.... did anyone notice his BIG ... f NOSE ... ??? how can Han solo and Lia produce a kid so UGLY

Ugly face, ugly nose and ugly weired teeth - I get it why he wears a MASK

And why does all Bad guys need to have "DARK BLACK HAIR" - stereo type right there

vs ford and leah's good looks

Best Moment in Movie

Discovery of The falcon in junk yard, it was a scene I could absorb and accept

Han solo shows up to take his Falcon back what they do killed Han solo
Was it hard for people to send him into a freeze chamber for good


I just did not like it , as much as lets say Star wars 1 , people hate it but it felt more "true" to an alien world

> Star wars 1 , which was the weakest movie had better qualities

• Sith Vilan was amazing he was silent but deadly (Still remember the amazing fight)
• How origional was that the student was made to watch in agony with force field in between , it was superb fighting imaginative , fight location
• Usage of "Tracker" bots to locate people technology was really amazing
  
• Queen Amidela was "WOW"
  
• Little vadar was cool bratty kid but acceptable

But this movie .... was just blatant copy/paste ACTION movie masala

Comparing the story telling power of George Lucas , etc vs JJ Aram or what ever that guy's name is , it was very simple

George Lucas , or his team of people really helped construct characters. The world they showed in Star wars 1 , was multicultural word unique qualities slave trade etc , JJ Abram just copied the shiat out of all previous starwars Blatent COPY PASTE MASTER JOB

The girl getting all these powers , suddenly was a little bit hard to swallow for me
Made Luke sky walker's training all that useless he had to go to Yoda to learn that shiat
Was she bitten by this Radio Active , spider to get all these FORCE powers ?

With all the Technology Available today JJ ABRAM could not give 1 BIG wow MOMENT

Even the sequence betweem Vilan and Solo was , copy of Darth vader vs Luke scene

Yah, she was quite "quiet" in the movie, lost her feisty spirit. I was surprised to see Luke hiding on Diaoyu Island at the end.

But that boss Snoke says he wants to completely finished training on Rey.

Yes he does say that my friend, but he has already had extensive training and just needs the finishing touches. He said he is ready now as he killed you know who. That was dark test for him.

Leia in the original movies was sacrastic, witty and strong. In the new films she just looks like the typical badass "good guy" and is much less interesting.

Also very pretty in the original movies.

Edited with new numbers

Now at 98% of Avatar's US domestic total ($760M)

Total Lifetime Grosses
Domestic: $750,230,824 48.8%
+ Foreign: $786,100,000 51.2%
= Worldwide: $1,536,330,824
In Release: 18 days / 2.6 weeks

Up 2 notches to #4.

So it looks like passing Jurassic World is achievable.
After that...?

 

[gubbi]

He threw temper tantrums like a spoiled toddler. I think the actor is just full of himself and it spilled over into his acting. It has nothing to do with training. Not only that but Rey and Finn behaved almost childlike, and the constant attempts at humor didn't help....etc.

That is exactly what Kylo is supposed to be. He is a wanna be villain. Darth Vader was underneath all his bad persona still a good guy. He believed whatever he did was for the ultimate good. Kylo just wants to be bad, hence the tantrums. Darth Vader came from an underprivileged background, while Kylo is Star Wars royalty!
ps: Death Star was way cooler! IMHO.

The Movie was lame....
