RE: Star Wars
Finally decided to watch it, I have to say, it was pretty bad.
Firstly, every time it appears someone dies a heroic death, they come back later. The pilot that helps "Finn" the main protagonist escape, you think he dies in the sand, only to have him come back later. Then toward the end, Finn dies taking on the main villain, despite having no light saber training; he puts up an admirable effort and falls...Oh, except he didn't! He's there at the end, hooked up to a machine!
It would be like if Bambi's mother came back at the end. Sure, we don't like to see bad things happen, but the deaths were a large part of the story, and you completely crapped all over them. You took any mood or sincerity and turned it to garbage.
And of course, the light sabers can't kill anybody, but for some reason, Han Solo get's poked by one and falls immediately dead. Which by the way, brought on the best acting in the film. I refer of course, to where chewy in a rage starts shooting at everybody. Like he's about to go out in a blaze of glory, which demonstrates just how wooden the rest of the cast was. He had more emotion in a Chewbacca costume than the rest of the cast!
The comedic gags during the ship chase, with the new droid were awful too. You cut away to a robot, making noises and "reacting" as filler. That's pretty low. If I told you, I wanted to do a sequel to a film based in our time and I panned to a toaster for reaction, you'd think I was retarded but for some reason JJ Abrams gets a pass. Add to that, the big bad weapon was yet another death star and I can't for the life of me figure out the hype.
