The first time I saw “The Force Awakens” my entire review was “this is just the original three films slammed together into one film”
Which translates to me not being that impressed.
Everything is a remake today. I guess that’s what you get when you don’t pay your writers shit.
What are you on about? The Force Awakens is just a poor remix of A new hope, but with bad characters and an stilted script. It’s the most boring of the new trilogy.
I thought the characters definitely had potential, but it felt like it tried to copy ANH almost shot-for-shot. It seemed like every plot beat had an ANH equivalent.
Yeah for real, the characters were extremely interesting in TFA. Poe and the storm trooper(Boyega) had really cool chemistry. Rey was probably a bit more interesting at that point than later, Kylo I remember liking a lot too because of his conflict with the dark side that we’ve not really seen before. Palpatine was interesting as well because he didn’t exist, yet.
Phasma seemed pretty badass too, at least until the subsequent movies did absolutely nothing interesting with her. She’s basically the sequels’ equivalent of Darth Maul in that regard.
Basically. They had the opportunity to make an interesting bad character, and even though they didn’t kill them off quickly like with Maul, they said made the character boring.
Honestly, I already thought that The Force Awakens was underwhelming
The inverse is what made episode 9 so much worse. Like, this is it, this is the end? There’s no more? One of the most epic film sagas ever and this is how it’s going out?
It’s GOT S8 all over again.
… So now I only rewatch the OT and sometimes Rogue One.
Disagree… Disagree… And disagree…
