[spoiler]like this[/spoiler]
I just watched it, favourite movie of the year, third favourite star wars movie after episode 5 and 4
Seriously, guys, no spoilers without spoiler tags. It's not that hard.
Should lock this like the last one about spoilers.
Just finished watching it. All I'm gonna say it that it was incredible.
someone already spoiled it for me, going to see it with this super cute girl though :3

Absolutely amazing the whole way through, some of the scenes are truly breathtaking
idkkkkk the movie was alright. its definitely made just as a tribute for star wars nerds. i still liked it, but i feel like it lacked a lot of the JUICE..the BEEF..ya know what im sayin...it was fun tho :]
alot of the scenes had me like...well how did that guy survive? or why did that happen? or who the hell is the guy?? lol

That was so fucking good wow I want to go see it again already. Every reveal of an old character/thing is so nostalgic and had me so excited.
. This movie was never boring, actually funny when it tried, and possibly my favorite Star Wars film (maybe). 9/10
Just watched it. It's pretty awesome.
Although I can't shake this feeling like they were kind of too scared to be really creative with it, so they just copied everything that worked in the original trilogy. The similarities are really fucking apparent.

Just got back home from seeing it with my brother and some friends. Honestly thought the movie was amazing and all the nostalgia was awesome too. Probably one of my favorite movies, would see again.
Just saw it in IMAX, it was really really good, Abrams did an amazing job and Daisy Ridley's act was 10/10. Hope to see more of those in the future.
my friends fucking delusional, he thinks that episode 2 and 3 were good fucking movies

Honestly I thought 3 was pretty good, 1 and 2 were not.

yeah 3 was alright but then he said that he'd rather watch it than tarantino
3 jumped back and forth between action and filler and got pretty boring at points to me though.
The prequels were definitely inferior to the originals in almost every way, but I thought the lightsaber duels in the prequels were very fun to watch. Darth Maul vs Obi Wan and Qui Gon was amazing, so was Anakin vs Obi Wan. These next three movies have a lot of potential to be better than the originals, and episode vii was already better than i, ii, and iii without a doubt.
~radical opinion part here~
I felt as though by sticking to 4 so fuckin closely it killed the movies chances of being incredible, once i clued in pretty early to the fact that i was watching 4 with some fresh faces there was no more chances for me to be amazed. I felt as though by feeding into this nostalgia they were taking a conservative approach. I realized Han was going to die about half an hour before it actually happened just by following 4.
There were real positives though, I thought the new characters were managed very well, both Finn and Rey were well done and i thought Ren was very well done, he had the same amount of depth that you'd expect of a sw villain that isnt maul (unless you count clone wars i guess). I think this movie will be remembered by how well the next two do, and I certainly think 8 cant be as similar to 5 regardless of how erect people get thinking of 5. They've got peoples attention and reinvigorated a passion for sw again, now they need to do something with it. 8/10
This also really reminded me how much I love the old republic era sw as well so thats something i guess im off to play kotor

They couldn't even put a single character we cared about on those planets. It made the whole moment way less impact than it should have been. Compare it to the first use of the death star in the original trilogy there was at least an intense personal connection - one of the main characters just had their homeworld destroyed.
Also when the dude took off his mask my friend next to me said "ew put it back on" which I thought was pretty on point. In general the whole character (who I'm calling emo ren now) was all like "mom, dad, you just don't understand, the darkside is way cooler I mean come on the light side is just so lame."

i was talking about that with a friend, I would agree but him taking off the mask is the first time we see any real development in his character. I don't think they could have had him simultaneously showing no development and be han and leia's son at the same time. Not to mention it would have been pretty lame for him to just kill han without any real emotion, especially because its the dark side

Yeah, they didn't exactly explain his motivation for turning to the dark side very well. I'm guessing they're saving it for a later movie (kind of like how anakin's motivations for turning to the dark side weren't explained until the prequels). However, it doesn't make much sense to do it way way since Vader was originally just the 'fallen bad guy' in the original trilogy, and then later revealed to be Luke's father, whereas Ren is immediately announced as Han and Leia's son. You can't drop a bombshell like that without providing a decent explanation as the WHY he went all evil.
I'm kinda hoping some of the expanded universe lore ties into this with the whole Sith tomb being underneath the jedi academy that causes Ren to fall the the dark side.
