There's talk it might break $1B at the US box office alone, an obscene figure given Avatar is at $700+ m (dating back to 2009) -

<p>I wonder if it has the legs to do that? Avatar hung around for a long time (in part due to the 3D 'gimmick') to rack up its numbers. Although, I do know a bunch of people who have seen it twice and the odd person going back for a third time.</p>

<p> I have never seen Avatar, I keep waiting for it to return to a cinema in a brief run so I can go see it.</p> -

Yeah whatever. Thanks for that input about the actual film. Do you get some kind of rise from going around threads and picking fights? -
<p>Just went to see it this evening with the kids. Great film but, but... Ach!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Why yet another bloody death star - sorry killer planet. X wing fighters save the galaxy with seconds to spare - again. Didn't like Voldemort as the supreme being or whatever. Was sort of glad Han got it as the creepy old people love interest was looking a little suss. The darker SW films are head and shoulders above the more feel good ones - Empire, Sith and now this one (to a degree). Liked the film a lot but was a little bit underwhelmed due, I think to the amount of hype it got. However the new characters were bloody good.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>BTW, some of you lot bring nerdism to a new level. Sheesh!</p> -

<p>Funnily enough I had the same thought of 'whatever' after reading your complaints about the film... then you just kept repeating them again and again and again. </p> -

And once again, no comments about the actual film, just getting that enormous stockpile of bile out of your system. Some things never change. -

<p> </p>
<p>Alright I thought the films was very good and I think your comments on it are just the repeated pretentious twaddle of the terminally pompous.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I wish you had just stated your views on it just once instead of going on and on about it like some desperate hipster who just graduated from film school where all he learnt was to dislike mainstream films, warble on incessantly about why something is wrong with a film and generally act like a tool.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I could not give a fuck if Kylo Ren looks like an emo, I am not even sure what an emo is supposed to look like, but then clearly I am not looking for every little homo erotic thing in a film. </p> -
Darth Vader is one of the most iconic movie villains ever, and Anakin Skywalker is the most powerful natural force user ever (training and experience obviously matter as well). It's hardly surprising they went a different way to Vader as any attempt to follow that just comes off as a poor imitation.

<p>Damn you have issues.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Other than my original comment about the film, every single one of my posts was in response to others who directly quoted me. I simply responded to them and provided my opinion about why I wasn't thrilled about the film. Should I have invented different reasons for my disappointment each time? If you'd actually read my posts instead of carrying on in your typically bitter and twisted manner you'd also see that I complemented elements of the film and said I was a huge SW fan and would watch any new film regardless. Yep that's really arthouse and hipster-like.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As for you somehow connecting emo with homo eroticism. Um yeah, I leave you to that one. :idiot2:</p> -
I think people are having the wrong expectations of Kylo Ren, he's not Vader he's not even Darth Maul. <br>
He's just basically a fucked up kid who's turned his back in his parents ( who just happen to be the galaxies greatest heroes in Leia and Solo).<br>
Instead of following his uncles teaching he has instead been drawn to Vader and the dark side. Obviously is been manipulated by Snooke.<br>
He's nowhere near the finished 'villain' he's just got by on preying on people's fears and weaknesses. <br>
Vader had been choking the shit out of people for 30 years when we first came across him in Episode IV. -

God don't remind me ;)<br>
Lucas fucked that up, poor writting and even poorer casting meant a lost opportunity in telling the back story to cinemas greatest villain. -

<p>It does sound like you would have preferred it if John Cena had played Kylo Ren instead.</p> -
<p>some of these are funny, you could do this sort of 'analysis' with pretty much any movie.</p>

<p>I saw her on Graham Norton the other day - she's a crack up, clearly not playing with a full deck. It appears she loves that dog more than Depp's Missus loves their's. </p>
