The Force Awakens: Official Review Thread - ** SPOILERS **

Stranger Things is quite childish oriented, like The Goonies, so I’m afraid I don’t see your point.

That’s but one part of the show and secondly when I talk about age or maturity I’m not talking about the show.

You thought it was a dark and strong characters driven series ?

Never said anything about it being dark…

Well, think again. SPOILER ALERT Everydody survives

WRONG…just think about it for a second.

everything is in order at the end

Last scene says otherwise.

And most of the interactions don’t work at all

Elaborate please. Preferably with somewhat of an original thought.

Maybe too long (8 episodes to tell such a thin story…)

7 would have been perfect.

Wrong. Your sister and people like her might not, but there are plenty of young people who value good plots and good characters (as best as they can understand them, anyway).

That’s why I used “a lot” rather than “most” for those who do value plot and characters. My mother and my oldest cousin were like that.

Anyway, I’ve posted an analysis of the show I concur with. It’s little more to handle than “books, killing and explosions”, so I wouldn’t recommend you read it, it may be far too complex for you I’m afraid.

I would prefer to avoid it so that later concepts aren’t top complex for me due to the article killing a plethora of my brain cells. I don’t even want to know how far and wide this man stretched to discredit the show but judging by some of his points about TFA I would say he probably stretched quite far.

EDIT:

And yes, sex is a requirement for her to enjoy a piece of entertainment.

Ok, but what does it have to do with me ? My brother liked the show, so… what’s the relevance here ?

Is your brother of a similar age? The relevance here is that a lot of youngins don’t watch things for plot and characters. Stranger Things is a show that primarly based on strong characters, how they interact with each other and the mystery of what’s going down in Hawkins. I can see why someone like you wouldn’t like that too too much.

Your little sis wants to see boobs everywhere ?

I changed “boobs” to “sex” in my other post because we don’t actually boobs in Season One. We saw someone in a bra but that’s not the same.

And yes, sex is a requirement for her to enjoy a piece of entertainment. If the show doesn’t depict one of those things in an Episode she’s not fucking with it. And when it comes to shows like Breaking Bad she only liked it because there was drugs and killing in it; not because of the characters or the writing.

(and from a Stranger things fan, I don’t really mind…)

Don’t like Stranger Things? May Eleven give you a telekinetically-induced bowel movement.

Must admit I was bored to death after 3 episodes.

Not enough sex, killing and explosions huh?

Yes, I am making a linguistic drift.

Admittedly I was premature in going at you. I didn’t know “practice” was one of those words that is spelled differently depending on where you live. My apologies on that one but can we stay on the main point?

Yet even so, it has the right to exist. The PT may be awful, but I certainly don’t propose we adopt Lucas’ methods of destroying films we don’t like.

I do not think anyone is suggesting that. Nevertheless, one has to be careful when it come to memories. When you see something awful you cannot remove it from your memories. It will forever pollute your memories and likely ruin experience of OT.

Speak for yourself.

Considering everything but the first sentence was the truth, are you suggesting that you support Lucas’ method of destroying films?

No, I was referring to this:

Nothing and I mean nothing other than the films themselves will ruin my memories or enjoyment of the Original Trilogy. I just like the films too much to be swayed by outside sources.

I said “likely” in order to account for outliers.

Still no.

ROTJ for all its problems has the real vader and the emperor.

R1’s Vader acted more like his incarnations in SW and ESB than his ROTJ counterpart. I agree on Palpy though.

Those final scenes are epic. Nothing ib these spin offs can match the OT…and they never will.

How come OT.com keeps getting members who can see into the future and why am I not one of them?

R1s Vader was better than the shitty pre prequel Vader but still, even Jedi Vader didn’t say those stupid lines! That is not what an OT Vader would have said.

I think lines like “I find your lack of faith disturbing” and “Perhaps you think you’re being treated unfairly.” would have criticized had they been in this film. I can imagine people ripping the former line apart under the pretense that the Force is more than just a belief system.

Or his half arsed choke hold!

It’s a few centimeters for God’s sake…

but to others the space between his fingers could be a mile. But I’m just going to let the images speak for themselves.

I am judging future films on what I have already seen. R1 is the closest so far but not quite right!

Not a line of thought I would follow as different film makers are going to bring different things to the films they write and direct.

I don’t really get what you’re trying to say and the relevance to what I’ve said to the guy. Is there something ambiguous in my sentence “you may think that if you want” ? (is “may” the issue ?).

Well the “may” seems kind of condescending. The wording would be a non issue if you weren’t so quick to dismiss every positive thing about Rogue One.

To each their own but I don’t see how anyone could feel Rogue One (or The Force Awakens for that matter) are better films than Jedi.

I prefer ROTJ to Rogue One but that film has better action, dialogue, directing and a far better 3rd act but I will admit that ROTJ trumps Rogue One in a big as it pertains it pertains to plot and characters. I was more emotionally invested and entertained with a watered down Han than I was with most of the Rogue One characters.

I don’t think I need to state why I think TFA is better than ROTJ.

Some people really hate Jedi though.

I think Jedi is…okay.

I think we have different definitions of “okay” because I find ROTS to be okay whereas I find ROTJ to still be quite good despite the myriad of issues I have with it. I just have too much fun with the film to rate it anything lower than a 7.

No, we have just different opinions on the quality of the two movies. Especially ROTS, which I think is anything but “okay.”

That too but I’m sure you’d rate ROTJ no lower than a 7/10 and I consider that score to be an indication of a good film. 5-6/10 is what I would deem an okay film.
