Message: [QUOTE="storrsroars, post: 1536536, member: 2500"] I enjoyed IV, V and VI. But I was much younger and those kinds of movies appealed to me in my 20s. I'm pretty tired of the series. I don't care for Marvel universe movies and this series is going that way. I had my wife's family in for the weekend and her nephew wanted to see VII, so I went, albeit reluctantly. It was IMAX 3-d. I was immediately depressed as the coming attractions were pretty much completely comic book movies. Nothing I'm looking forward to seeing. I pretty much agree with the complaints upthread as to plot holes and being too similar to IV. Of the performances, there was no nuance to be found, except perhaps between Han and Leia. Chewy did more actual acting than the villains or the heroes. I actually found myself wishing Chewy had more screen time. The alien with the specs was probably the best acting of all. All her scenes were worthwhile. Somebody just blast C3PO into bits. Inserting "him" into this movie was gratuitous at best. At least R2D2 being there had a point to it. Why do stormtroopers even wear armor if the armor is useless? The fight scenes reminded me of 40s/50s movies where the heroes take out dozens of trained shooters while remaining unharmed themselves, even from shrapnel bits. Not to mention appearing to be the only ones to make it out of an exploding building alive. I don't read the fan books or sites that discuss the details and backstories, but why does Ren even wear a helmet? Darth needed it due to disfigurement. Ren doesn't. Obviously I'm not the target demographic. And seeing this did nothing to get me to eagerly await the next one. [/QUOTE]
