Star Wars: The Force Awakens
« on: Tuesday, December 22, 2015, 09:33:02 PM »
I finally saw this movie today.  I'd like to talk about it, but I was on total media blackout between last Tuesday through today.  I didn't even want to hear if it was good or bad.

Anyone not seen it yet?  I don't want to ruin it for anyone that hasn't seen it.

I haven't, but I can just stay out of the thread until I do.  The last movie I saw at a theater was Avatar.  This one is slated to be the next.  Must see on a big screen.

I was on blackout as well. Finally saw it yesterday, and I loved it. I'm sure there are things I didn't like about it, but right now I can't think of anything. I liked the characters, the action, the story, the CG didn't look terrible (like in the prequels, even after some touching up).

Well, the whole movie was basically (major spoilers)

Not sure if I should be tagging spoilers or not, but better safe than sorry I guess.

I saw it today and like it.  I concur with the other comments made so far so I won't reiterate.  It's definitely not a perfect movie and does have its flaws.

I've seen it 6 times. I really enjoy it. I think I am done seeing it for quite sometime. Really brought me back to when I loved Star Wars as a kid!

  Given that lore-killer JJ Abrams was at the helm, it could have been much worse--like Tatooine getting blown up before Luke was born.

I enjoyed it quite a bit, except for the spoiler.  Yes, definitely homage to past greatness.  Nicely done.
