The Force Awakens - at least 9.8 out of 10!

Oh, BTW, I didn't see any of the supposed bloopers...but that's probably because I wasn't bloody well looking for them!!! I was doing what - correct me if I'm wrong - you're supposed to do when you go to see a film: I watched the damn film!!! Bloopers be bleeped!!!


I was greatly concerned - as of course were hundreds of millions of Star Wars fans worldwide - that the spirit of the original film could never be recaptured. We needn't have worried. J.J. Abrams got it spot on.

Spoiler: 

The only thing I was concerned about was/is Kylo Ren; he seems too young to be so steeped in evil. Mind you...stopping a blaster bolt in midair?! Whoa, major Force power there! Where'd he learn that trick?! It was the coolest thing since Darth Maul's lightstaff!

And who or what exactly is the Supreme Leader? Where was he when Darth Sidious was consolidating the Empire and his Force powers? Hopefully there'll be a bit of background info in the next film and/or the novelisation of this one.

Who retrieved Luke's/Vader's lightsabre from Cloud City, and why?

How did anyone steal the Falcon?! I'd have thought Han and Chewie would fight to the death rather than let that happen!

But the music and sound effects definitely echoed the original and did the business; it just wouldn't be Star Wars without those groundbreaking sound effects and the romantic classical score. Casting and costuming were also spot-on. John Mollo, the original costume designer, was told by George Lucas: "The audiences mustn't consciously notice the costumes. If they do, you've gone wrong." He didn't, and nor did the designer for this film.

Looking forward to the next one!

Actually, I dont really see the need for spoiler tags now.

If you havent seen it by now, you probably are not that interested, and there is plenty of spoilers across the internet now.

I agree with Chris, i don't want a movie spoiled by this thread, but still wish to view this thread to see if a movie gets a good rating by members as to whether it is worth watching.

Spoilers are easily avoided on any page headed "Star Wars" - not so easy in a general movie thread where there is no prior indication of what you're going to be reading when clicking the link in your user CP.

The Martian 9/10

Utterly fantastic.

Its not realistic to keep spoilers out of movie based threads forever.
We'll give Star Wars another week, but after that, they are not going to be required.

+1

The Hateful Eight: 7/10 - Long film but well worth a watch. It's just an interesting story which isn't so much about twists but finding out about the characters and watching the plot unfold. There were suggestions that Tarantino wrote it in a way that it could be performed on stage and it shows. I saw the 70mm version too which was cool.

Creed: 7/10 - Good film. Not much to say about it really. You like the characters and you feel involved with the story rooting for them.

The Big Short: 9/10 - Awesome film! Funny and engrossing with some interesting ways of explaining what is happening. The soundtrack is very good too. It's one of those films that requires very little work on your part in terms of keeping your attention. It grabs it early and never lets go. You really don't care how long it's being going on for or how long is left.

The Hateful Eight: 8/10
I particularly liked Jennifer Jason Leigh's portrayal of Daisy Domegue.

Creed: 8/10
Was just expecting a re-boot of Rocky. Well that's what it is but I still loved it.

[denphone]

Sorry l forgot the rating Stephen so l would say its got to be a 9/10 in my opinion.

Spectre - 5/10

Hoping it's just an intro to a further movie or even it's own trilogy to further what was merely an introduction for this villain (Didn't want to spoil a twist even though half of the Internet already knew it)

Bridge Of Spies - 9/10
