MAJOR STAR WARS SPOILER!!

[DrJoeyMagnum]

So the reviews seem good for the movie

[Cerb]

Damn thats so rad 

[Sunny]

[AgeofSandow]

phew that was close

[Aero]

So I watched it last night! I was a lot more disappointed than the people I went to see it with... Which is odd because I went in with the lowest expectations! Very much a case of things coincidently happening JUST in the nick of time, too similar to the original story for me and, whilst I get the want to bring back the original cast, it was maybe over played a lot?

6/10 for me

That was Star Wars in a nut shell pal

I really liked it, it was definitely much better then all of the prequels, I was surprised to fuck they didn't overuse BB-8

Yeah, and it was fine back then.... Surely modern cinema has move on a bit from "here's some vital info..... Oh look, I've died  and now yyou've stumbled on the exact reason why I told you that by pure coincidence" 

[Sunny]

It's not going to match up to the original Lucas films for obvious reasons, but Abrams does do them justice based on what I'm hearing

even if the plot line is similar to New Hope

. It's better than the prequels (besides the original score as the action is prioritized first) and a modern take on the original which is refreshing. 

[Aero]

its not a modern take though.... its the original take which is what bothers me about it! i wanted modern... only modern thing was being more PC by having a black dude and a female pushing the lead roles of the new folk

[DrJoeyMagnum]

So it's been confirmed that Ewan McGregor was in Force Awaken as Obi-Wan voice

[Aero]

Well, I guess that makes more sense than Daniel Craig and simon peggs cameos

[DrJoeyMagnum]

What was Peggs cameo though? I knew he was in the movie but as who? Daniel Craig was that Stormtrooper who got mind tricked 

[Aero]

He was the junkyard dealer that wanted bb-8

Abrams confirms Star Wars: The Force Awakens is a rip-off of A New Hope:

[BrotchMrToast]

Right because him saying the movie is a rip off changes ANYTHING. God what a stupid post.

[Sunny]

Not really. It only confirms Aero's original post. The news picked up traction all week. Him admitting to it in fact, helps the movie because he defends the selection when he says, “What was important for me was introducing brand new characters using relationships that were embracing the history that we know to tell a story that is new — to go backwards to go forwards . . . I understand that this movie, I would argue much more than the ones that follow, needed to take a couple of steps backwards into very familiar terrain, and using a structure of nobodies becoming somebodies defeating the baddies — which is, again, I would argue, not a brand new concept, admittedly — but use that to do, I think, is a far more important thing."

[BrotchMrToast]

And who seriously gives a fuck? Does it change anything about the movie itself? 

Besides, the movie had OBVIOUS parallels to a new hope. Of fucking course they're intentional. Did we really need his confirmation?

Relax, Pete doesn't have an endless supply of Brazzers subscriptions.

No one has a problem with the plot line following the original, but you don't just make a third deathstar to destroy. It is just lazy scriptwriting.

The lack of young Anakin really killed the movie for me.
