I would probably love this film if Kyle Katarn was in it. As it is, I’m not interested and have no plans to see it. Two Star Wars movies with a female lead…, it’s all just feminist BS.

You’re absolutely right, Star Wars is for men!!! I’ll take a universe full of spacefaring humanoid aliens that usually speak English, basically use magic, build giant planet-destroying superweapons, and fight with laserswords, but if those aliens are women then that’s totally implausible feminist nonsense!

[end sarcastic rant]

Well, we already had Rey, who could outfight Kylo Ren, though she never picked up a lightsaber before.

She had used her staff, though. And maybe Kylo Ren is absolute rubbish at using a lightsaber, we have no reason to think he was good.

Right, she used her staff… beating sand and stuff. The guy was clearly involved in real battles and was proficient with the force on top of that.

She could also fly the Millennium Falcon without any training as a spaceship pilot.

Untrue. As CHEWBAKA said, she did use flight simulations. I don’t know if it was mentioned in the movie, but it was definitely mentioned in Before the Awakening.

The film clearly established that she was basically struggling for food. I don’t see how could she get an access to flight simulators. And there is no reason what so ever that there would even be flight simulators in that dump of a settlement.

If anything Carrie should be getting chastised for her performance. She’s the only real weak link in TFA in terms of acting.

I would say it wasn’t a very strong chain anyway.

Even if that is something you would say saying Carrie and Harrison’s performances were on par is like saying Jake Lloyd and Peter Cushing’s performance are on par with each other.

I did not even say Ford’s performance was as bad as Carrie’s. I just said they were both generally bad. There is a gap between them deciding who is worse among the bad. When it comes to Lloyd-Cushing, you have one utterly bad and one exceptionally brilliant performance. So your comparison was stupid.

I’m looking forward to seeing it. I actually think TFA is not as good as I first thought, because while the acting and directing is spot on, the plot doesn’t make sense.

I would say some of the acting is actually really bad. Ford had some very awkward movements. Though to his defence, some of the dialogue/situations were just embarrassing to begin with.

His acting in TFA is head and shoulders above the phoned in performance he gave in ROTJ.

Quite the opposite. It even makes his acting in ROTJ look good.

Han, Leia and Luke go back to doing what they were doing before Star Wars, which basically means everything they had achieved at the end of Return of the Jedi was undone.

TFA is essentially just a huge parasite leaching OT in any way it can. This applies to storyline, characters, concepts, ideas, sets, designs, etc. In essence it is just an example of how OT could end up being bad.

Why do I read this fucking thread

In the vain hope that this thread will eventually provide pre-Season 10 Simpsons-level humour instead of the usual Family Guy tripe?

Finally someone who doesn’t appreciate Family Guy nearly as much as the earlier seasons of The Simpsons!

Who appreciates Family Guy in comparison to early Simpsons and why haven’t they been shot into space yet?

Anime people maybe.

We don’t appreciate that kind of crap altogether.

ANH - 1

TFA - 0

I use truth-based binary ranking system. Film is either good or shit.

1

Sorry but the actual data indicates 0. With that said, the study may be just confused by every other imperialscum post having rated as zero, and just assigned that post the same without running the usual tests. I will dig into the data and report back.

Studies are performed by people who don’t know the truth and are searching for it. There is a chance they may come to a false conclusion. On the other hand, I already know the truth.
