>I think the reason a lot of nerds hate it is simply because of a combination of nostalgia

TFA is without a doubt the most nostalgia pandering piece of drivel ever put on the big screen. It is a carbon copy of ANH, only repackaged for the SJW crew of today, with the false promise of practical effects to lure in fans of the OT.

>Really in comparison to the Prequels it's a fucking godsend.

While everyone should be entitled to their own opinion, just know that that was a fucking stupid thing to say.

>everyone likes TFA

>people can't have opinions without being edgy or contrarian

>JJ made Star Trek fun and watchable

>coming on a niche board to post this instead of /tv/ where you'd get BTFO

>TFA was anything above a 6/10

I'm not saying TFA doesn't pander to nostalgia, what I'm saying is that fanboys are butthurt because their personal nostalgia for a franchise, not just the movies, keeps them from looking at TFA without decrying it for not being what they want.

There were quite a few practical effects in the new film. Pulling up the image that cherrypicks the prequel trilogy with it's like four practical sets and the new film with it's CGI heavy sets isn't going to work. You're fucking wrong and the criticism for the prequels relying much to much on CGI is one hundred percent valid.

>This is a stupid fucking thing to say

Not really. The Prequels essentially ruined Star Wars for a long time in terms of the public eye. Where TFA may rely a little too heavily on the original trilogy the franchise's return to the big screen needed pretty much everything it offered.

It's funny to see faggots shit themselves in impotent rage.

There are plenty of reasons to not like the movie. You came here where there are 20 or so regular posters. If you want to have this discussion, please go to /tv/ where there are more people to give you reasons why this movie could be seen as a disappointment.

I'm not OP, nor do I feel the need to defend my opinion. I've heard all the spergy reasons to hate the movie a million times already.

>>11457

Aw-shucks! Here I was hoping to have a real debate, and you don't feel the need to participate - except frogposting that is.

Seriously thouygh, what's the point of even having an imageboard if you don't feel the need to defend your position on a topic in a thread you post in? Could it be that you are trolling, or simply unable to defend your position?

I can think of several reasons to hate, or at the very least not like TFA, including, but not limited to:

* It is a carbon copy of ANH, only repackaged for the SJW audience of 2015/6

* Nostalgia-pandering to RLM fans

* Lying about 'going back to' practical effects, and an over-reliance on CGI

* Annoying, bland and mary sue characters

>There were quite a few practical effects in the new film.

As was the case with the prequels. Didn't stop JJ from using more CGI than George did, and still get hailed by fans for bringing Star Wars back to the roots with practical effects.

>Pulling up the image that cherrypicks the prequel trilogy with it's like four practical sets and the new film with it's CGI heavy sets isn't going to work.

But dismissing the prequels use of practical effects will work?

In the RotS commentary track (ca. 21 minutes into it), Rick McCallum mentions that they built 72 large sets. Several of the backgrounds in the film were matte paintings and miniatures. I have a large collection of BTS images from all three prequel films, and the amount of miniatures, large sets and location shoots is staggering and very impressive compared to JJ's SJW remake of ANH!

>You're fucking wrong and the criticism for the prequels relying much to much on CGI is one hundred percent valid.

That's funny, considering the fact that TFA have more CGI than TPM had, and while each of the prequel films had more miniatures than the entire original trilogy combined, TFA had no miniatures at all!

>The Prequels essentially ruined Star Wars for a long time in terms of the public eye.

Codswallop! The Star Wars thrived under and after the prequels: Video games, tabletop games, role-playing games, comics, books, toys, animated series, parodies, fan films came out, while people attended cons cosplaying and having a healthy discussions online – the list goes on.

>Where TFA may rely a little too heavily on the original trilogy the franchise's return to the big screen needed pretty much everything it offered.

A little? Could you act more like a Disney shill? It is a carbon copy of A New Hope! Or do you think TFA happened because JJ & Co. had a story they were really passionate about bringing to life? TFA feels like it was made in a boardroom by Disney executives, hoping that fans wearing their rose-tinted nostalgia-goggles would suck it up and buy the new toys, whilst at the same time, pander to the SJWs.
