FUCKING NORMIES GET OFF OUR BOARD REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

seriously though you ass eating casual bandwagon fan, get the fuck out. Admit that Jew Jew played it safe for maximum shekels and remade new hope to get all that nostalgiabux from idiots like you. Part of being an adult is realizing when you've been swindled on a product.

>>11047

So, what? Capitalizing my 'I's means I'm a casual normie fuck? Sorry I can type like a halfway intelligent human being you blithering retard. Fact is that I like Star Wars so I pop in every now and again to talk about it. I've been a fan of the property for years. I just have different opinions than you, sorry I've invaded your hugbox, if you really can't stand it you can head over to tumblr and make your own little circlejerk over there.

>>11053

I'll admit that the movie was probably made with shekels in mind, but that's been the case for pretty much everything Star Wars since the fucking Ewoks became a thing.

Like it or not, Star Wars is a fucking product. The product they put out this time is actually entertaining, I'm sorry that having such an opinion is so horrendously offensive to you. You want me to start posting with a trip so you can filter me that way I don't hurt your fucking fee fees?

Part of being an adult is learning when to stop flinging your fucking shit around the room when someone thinks differently about you on a subject like a fucking film.

Grow the fuck up before you start lecturing people on what's adult, you diaper shitting manbaby.

Here, animoo Grievous to trigger more of your delicate sensibilities.

I'm genuinely curious where you're "popping in" from. General opinion on this site, not just this board, is that TFA is shit. /pol/ hates it, /tv/ hates it, every discussion I've seen on other boards has been generally negative. Most people here see the movie as soulless corporate nostalgia pandering that's entertaining exactly once, and only then on the most superficial level. You came here with a minority opinion and are acting surprised when we disagree with you. That's like going to Harlem, screaming I HATE NIGGERS and acting indignant when you get an ass beating.

The fact you're trolling this hard on a board with around 12 regular posters is pretty sad bruv

Also I like grieve-tan anyway

>>11063

Genysis was pretty shit. Nice job not addressing anything I've said.

I bet you like eating dogshit. That means your taste is literally shit.

>>11064

Except it's not denial. I genuinely enjoyed the movie. With reading comprehension that poor I'm surprised your dumb ass ever made it through an EU novel.

>Admitting you don't watch star wars much

By saying that if someone else' hasn't seen Star Wars in a while, as in not me, that the poetry within Force Awakens wouldn't bother you nearly as much as it might some others who've seen it more recently or more times? I've seen every film in the original trilogy at least twenty times, if not more, I've seen every prequel at least a dozen. I've sat through both versions of The Clone Wars, and I recently started up Rebels so I can binge it now that a whole season is done.

I've watched my fair share of Star Wars. Nice assumptions though.

>Bazinga!

kek so fahnny those are some pretty big memes bro! For you! HA!

/v/, /tes/, and /co/, are my usual haunts. With routine visits to /tg/ and the occasional stop at /tv/. Believe me, I'm well aware of what the general consensus surrounding the movie is here, but I don't let the general opinions of the rest of the site sway my own. I like to make my own opinions about things and after seeing the film I can honestly say that I enjoyed it.

That's not to say it's the greatest film ever created or anything retarded like that. Definitely not my favorite movie of the year, but it's pretty decent. I'd rate it like a 7/10 if we wanted to put it on some kind of scale. Solidly above average.

>You came here with the minority opinion and are acting surprised when we disagreed with you

Except it's pretty much the exact opposite of surprised. I expected as much. I only told that one anon I'd piss in his mother's mouth when he told me to fuck off, because that's just the kind of person I am I guess.

>The fact you're trolling this hard on a board with around 12 regular posters is pretty sad bruv

It's not really trolling as much as holding a minority opinion and discussing it. I only respond in a hostile manner when somebody tells me to fuck off or uses buzzwords in an attempt to discredit and run me off because I'm ruining their little hugbox by holding an opinion different from their own. Which I'm pretty sure is sadder than the occasional shitpost.

>Also I like Grieve-Tan anyway

Then here's more Grieve for your soul.

WARNING, BIM TUCKLEY WALL OF WORDS

It's just a draft of my opinion, if you get assblasted, it's your fault for being a crybaby

I'm just pouring myself out quickly before going to bed

TL;DR at the end if you're too lazy

It's entertaining and it has some quality and effort (even though it has its flaws), but it is far too "Capeshit"-ish to me to fully enjoy.

In the end it's an allright movie, but a mediocre star wars episodic. Better than the prequels as a movie, but so different that the prequels in the end feel more Star Wars-y than TFA is (despite it's primary objective trying to look like Daddy OT)

My biggest gripe with the MOVIE (Not disney) is how the fanbase turned out.

Star Wars was that kind of thing whose threshold between geek chic culture and genuine geek culture was massively blurred, if not pushed back thanks to the Extended Universe. Even if you had a doctorate in history of the Yuuzhan Vong War, shit like a t-shirt bought at walmart was nothing more than a simple act of laziness or a guilty pleasure, Star Wars catered primarily to the biggest fans but was still enjoyable for newcomers.

This new star wars despite being so similar to the OT ended up being too accessible to newcomers for me to relate to as a genuine Star Wars movie. As I mentionned earlier, it looks like Star Wars, and tries to feel like star wars, but it lacks the wisdom and serenity the OT, -and fucking hell- some parts of the prequels had.

A lot of it was merely references, other parts were copy-pasted story elements. The structure of this film feels so weak to me, it actually makes me want to dig though the Prequels in detail once again.

This new Star Wars episode feels like Tumblrite entertainment, all show and fireworks like a purebred Marvel capeshit movie, but none of the substance.

A relative of mine who is very active on tumblr and a massive Marvel fan for instance claimed The Force Awakens was by far the best Star Wars movie, consider also she thinks Terminator 1 is (and I strictly quote) "absolute dogshit", but Genisys was fast paced, entertaining and probably the best of the series

The flagrant accusations à-la Plinkett about the Prequels being just all show and no guts is in my opinion applicable in The Force Awakens, but at least tries to cover it up.

I don't mind the characters, I don't mind what color or what gender my characters are, the protags are allright (excepted Rey ending up a complete Mary-Sue later in the movie) and Kylo Ren was -For better or for worse- a show stealer (I understand why you guys hate this kind of Loki 2.0 (thanks Felix) but his Tantrums were very fun to watch in my opinion.)

That said, it was an experience i've been waiting since May of 2005, I've waited for this movie for 10 years, the hype was real and I won't deny I had (I do weight my words) the time of my life. But now looking at it, I'll be very cynical and probably won't be enjoying my second viewing, I ended up after a few days of reflexion worried and sad about how much Star Wars changed, about the obnoxious loud Tumblrite fandom crying victory for Phasma being thrown in the trash as a "strong independant character" or Rey's Overpoweredness being "Normal", I am tired of all these fucking comics that think of themselves as witty but just end up forgetting major movie plot elements. I am beyond sick of all those self proclaimmed super hardcore star wars fans who don't know what "KOTOR" means, I am sad because the fuel of one of my longest living and most burning passions has changed into something that doesn't please me, something I do not want to fake in order to enjoy, something that doesn't feel worth giving your time for.

In summary (TL;DR), when people ask me about TFA since I'm "lol that grumpy EU 1.0 Star Wars Nerd", I say it's allright. The movie wasn't that bad, but it could have been better. At the end of the day, what really wants me to change my lifestyle into a disgusting neet and lead an international Beta Uprising is not what the movie IS, but what this movie COSTED (+30 years of EU) and GAVE US (More questions than answers, a terrible fanbase and DARE I SAY, A dumbing down of something already pretty simple).

6/10

Truth be told like it or hate it, everyone hated something about this film.

For me, it was how Iko Uwais and Yayan Ruhian were hardly used at all. Rather than being used as the great fight choreographers that they are, they were used as stand in thugs who were eaten by those octopi boogaloo things from D & D.
