Took the boys again.
Much like the Emperor did in ROTJ Snoke clearly got caught up in his own hubris and paid the price when a less powerful but possibly more aware pupil put an end to him. I wonder which of them is actually more powerful, Palpatine or Snoke? Seeing bits of him lying around was pretty graphic for Star Wars. I never realised it sliced his hands off too.
How many Red Guards were there? Boys and I figured anywhere between 8 and 10.
Both Rey and Ren have grown massively in power in a short time. It's pretty clear to me no one else in the saga apart from Leia has force powers, I'm assuming more will be unearthed for the next movie.
I also didn't realise how big those new walkers are. There were a couple of normal AT ATs next to them and they looked like terriers beside a bunch of Great Danes.
Poe is a terrible actor but Finn and Rose are way more annoying. Benicio Del whathisnames character is so pointless it's not funny.

Saw it again tonight. Have completely changed my opinion, and now i love it. The theming, symbolism and acting are fucking great. Some very nice shots too.
Adam Driver fucking kills it.
The bits i loved the first time i still love. The bits i hated seem inconsequential now.
Its a very brave movie and I'm genuinely excited to see the conclusion

Acting????? Did you not see Poes performance? He's terrible.
Actually to be fair most of the rest were very good.

Seen it again recently too, enjoy it more with each viewing. There are some truly great moments that are better and better with each viewing.
It’s Star Wars so it’s never going to be perfect but with 3 new chapters done too date I couldn’t be happier with how the makers are going.Can’t wait for Solo in a few months,

I saw it a week or so back and thought it was average. Overly long, sht scenes that were worse than what the prequels had, completely stupid sht like Leia floating through space etc. I was supposed to go see it a second time but there is no way I can sit through (and pay) that again.
Was good to see Adam Driver put in a way better performance and the rolling droid was good value.
I was pretty gutted overall as I really enjoyed the last two leading up to this.

I think you're working on the theory the more times you say it then it will become true ... it's not, Isaac was fine.

Wrong, he was shit. He's a better character than Finn and Rose though.

you are massively overplaying that, for some reason (ah yea, @Bones has got it). Isaac was fine, and Poe got a great story arc (another learning from failure).

That's your opinion, I just think he's a really shit actor even by Star Wars standards.
I did crack up how he was much more pleased to see BB8 than he was to see Finn and Rose though, one can hardly blame him for that.

You might be in a band of one about Oscar. A very talented actor, he was very watchable in Ex Machina.
But actually, so was the Hux dude, and I hate his performance in TLJ.
It's not relevant how he was in another movie. His performance in both Star Wars was mediocre. BB8 is a better actor.

He wouldn't be the first actor to be made to look poor by a SW film

I don't exactly expect De Niro or Day Lewis. But I expect better than Poe.....

You’ve been saying he’s a poor actor, and there is plenty of evidence he’s pretty good.
Now if you don’t like the performance in this film, that’s a completely different thing. And it doesn’t fall just on his shoulders. You can be screwed by the script, the director or months later by the editor.
I didn’t like how the character was handled, waiting to digest it all a bit before I go see it again.

Oscar Isaac has been a great actor in a number of movies, most notable Inside Llewyn Davis where he gave a very subtle performance. I can't claim to be an expert in what makes a good actor but he seems to be able to play a range of different roles and disappears into them very well.
