I think Bosk is doing some pro-level trolling.

And her acting was very Natalie Portman.

Except for all of the range of genuine emotion Daisy exhibited. Except for all the showings of her expertly applied line delivery, pacing, tone of voice, facial/body expressions etc.

Not what I saw,

Maybe you would have if you actually payed attention or if you actually watched the film. I can’t tell which is applicable.

but Americans must think all English girls talk/act like that?

What does being American have to do with Daisy’s acting ability?

To the one who said the editing in TFA was terrible… it’s just been nominated for an Academy Award.

If it wins then there is something very wrong.

Do you like anything about the film?

The end credits.

Come on now there has to be something wrong with them. I simply can’t believe they didn’t screw that up too. It’s easily the hardest part of the film to make

I didn’t like some of the names that appeared.

I thought they did a great job at casting especially when it comes to Daisy Ridley. Who would have thought that such an unknown would give such a great performance.

I thought she was quite ‘wooden’ very much like prequel characters but each to their own, must be difficult acting to thin air though.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Episode VIII : The Last Jedi - Discussion * <strong><em>SPOILER THREAD</em></strong> *
Time

I don’t think Kylo Ren will be redeemed anytime soon

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y4D0wnze6ZI

I’m pretty sure some of us watched this video before TFA came out and now since it’s release there is one line that sticks out

@ 0:19 Kylo says “I’m immune to the light” which of course is a very different story from the scene in which Kylo is talking Vader’s burnt helmet about his call to the light and the Supreme Leader sensing it. Given that most of these lines showcased in the video appeares in the film (a couple are paraphrased) I feel the line I’m fixating on will appear in Episode VIII. It would make sense seeing as how Kylo Ren’s training should be complete at that time.

In what ways did TFA completely nail it, either in terms of filmmaking or in terms of continuity?

Loved the TIE Fighter escape sequence. It really established that while Poe Dameron is an excellent pilot, he’s not perfect, especially when working with unfamiliar tech and in a hurry. When they’re stuck on the hangar bay’s tether, it really reminded me of the Original Trilogy where even when the good guys start to get ahead something else would go wrong. Sort of like the Parker Luck if you’re a Spider-Man fan.

I also loved how in that brief scene they established Poe and Finn being friends far better than us being told Anakin and Obi-Wan were friends in the Prequels.

I think it could be interesting in episode 8 to see the parallels of Luke training Rey / Snoke training Kylo, Dark vs Light

I saw this idea pitched on Movie Fights and it would be great for the first act of the film to have. I think it would be better than Kylo and Rey just popping back up after their training.

For the most part IMDB is pretty much on point when it comes to Star Wars reviews.

Hmmm…

TPM 6.5
AOTC 6.7
ROTS 7.6

The rent isn’t the only thing that’s too damn high.

ROTS is kind of too high but TPM and AOTC are about right. Those two weren’t that bad. Watch a few of IHE’s Search For The Worst videos and you’ll see what genuinely terrible movies are.

A film with a 90-93% score on RT from hundreds of thousands of people could be validly described as “Popular at best”, or “Crowd-pleasing at best” without fear of succumbing to hyperbole.

I don’t think you should take RT too seriously, anyway. Let me explain you why.
As I said, I don’t think TFA is a bad movie. More than 90%, though? Maybe 60%-80% would’ve been more correct. Considering half of RT’s Top Critics work one way or another for “the cartel” (the Motion Picture Association of America), including RT (which belongs to Warner Bros.), I think it’s pretty obvious how it got more than 90%. Specifically, RT allowed for TFA something which is instead unheard-of for indipendent movies: on top of the usual Top Critics, they carefully decided to include specific other reviews they knew would’ve boosted TFA’s score, but not so much that it would’ve got a full 100% (after it initially got 98%, in fact, rotten reviews have recently been added usually every 9-10 fresh reviews to tone its score down a bit, look by yourself). Think of how indipendent movies like Survivor, definitely on par with most AAA action-packed thrillers, (rightfully) got a 7% instead of the usual 80% like its bigger brothers produced by the cartel.
RT is completely unreliable, to me.

It still has an 8.5 on imdb which seems more sensible to a guy like me who only rated a film an 8.3

Baby Geniuses is a shit film.

Yeah and that’s the thing. A bad film is like a 4 and below. Batman and Robin is a shit film, Garbage Pail Kids is a shit film, Avatar The Last Airbender is a really shitty film.

And even if every criticism of TFA was valid it would still be better than those other films by leaps and bounds.

Nobhead

Given that some of the definitions of that word are derogatory, let’s refrain from using it again to refer to anyone here, before any misunderstandings occur.

It being anything of the sort never occurred to me…

Well, this thread dried up.

I guess now the holidays are over the film students had to go back to class.

Probably people just have better things to do than talk endlessly about some mediocre (at best) movie.

I think this thread would be more lively if you anti TFA people actually had more than one decent argument for your perspective but oh well.

The worst thing about TFA was the lack of dead Ewoks.

Well they did cut the scene where Ren goes to Endor to get grandfather’s mask. 😉

They cut 30 years of the past as well.

Look on the bright side, 30 years of past was untainted. 😃

True. Shame the same can’t be said for the future

Suggestion: Add the voice of someone saying “Again?!” when it’s revealed to the Resistance that the First Order has yet another superweapon.

There’s already dialogue in that scene that alludes to Starkiller Base being Death Star 3.0

I can’t really remember the line, but I think it has to do with the size of Starkiller Base in comparison to both Death Stars.
