We'll never be free from these wars among the stars
[quote name="1999-ad infinitum"][quote name="Eurotrash"]I liked it a lot. Fun adventure in space. That's all it needed to be.[/quote]As far as being the big loud shiny: it's fine. Everything more or less services the action. Space, explosions, blasters, lightsabers all over. Ultimately, it's big fat Star Wars(tm). [quote name="Welcome to Omsk"]You guys have terrible taste lately. What happened?[/quote]Ok, this one <i>is</i> lazy in it's own ways. Yet, I really do find it hard to bring out any loathing after burnout from the prior decade of SW froot loops. [quote name="Rafiki"]He makes her so strong she's boring. She's magically good at everything.[/quote]Yeah, and where can you really go next after the mega weapon's already destroyed, and besting the antagonist in combat? Rey doesn't <i>need</i> any guidance, jedi training scenes, or even <i>another showdown</i> with the stooge. She's basically perfect because... <i>Force</i>? Everybody else around her has to be dumb or weak, and pay the damage in her stead. I think this what the kids call "plot armor"? Character dead-end. [quote name="Rafiki"]You know who sucked more than Rey? Darth Vader 2.[/quote]Maybe Darth Vader^2: a mix of both young & old Anakin in a KOTOR outfit... everything old is, well as it turns out, still old. The villain being a petulant loser is kind of funny! Next film they can have more pratfalls like slipping on a space banana peel while on the deck of the super-duper star destroyer. Wait, this isn't supposed to be a straight up comedy, is it? If there's no real threat, then how do you get invested? I don't know. Perhaps the goal is in his salvation, but again who really cares if he eventually helps throw a Palpatine stand-in down a large tube? Relive all the same things you saw before, but with newly rendered lens flares <b>~<font color="red">c</font><font color="orange">o</font><font color="yellow">n</font><font color="palegreen">f</font><font color="limegreen">e</font><font color="skyblue">t</font><font color="royalblue">t</font><font color="mediumpurple">i</font>~</b> [quote name="Welcome to Omsk"]Thanks, Disney![/quote]<i><b>I'm Mike Disney</b></i>, please report to this base.[/quote]
