    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>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>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>some of these are funny, you could do this sort of 'analysis' with pretty much any movie.</p>

    <p>Guess with the box office take, there is an awful lot of forgivable people.</p>

    <p> </p>
    <p>What were they thinking by not killing off Fisher? She's certifiable!</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>

    Lucas gives his thoughts on the latest instalment, and gets himself in a bit of hot water in the process.<br><br>

    <p>Of course he watched them.  He thought they were awesome :wacko2:  I'm glad they left him out of it; it's time to take the franchise to a higher level</p>

    <p>Saw it spolier free last night and the first thing that struck me was that it is exactly like a new hope. </p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>I had an issue that Rey seemed to know all the force tricks without being taught them. Then smacked down Kylo Ren, though as pointed out on here he was injured. Han was toast as soon as it was revealed Kylo was his son. Oh and Carrie Fisher can't act .At all. The love of your life was just killed by your son, sigh and look off into the distance oh and hug his wookie. I would hope my Misses would be catatonic if one of my sons ran me through and chucked me off the roof. I already have a pretty good handle on which one is most likely to turn darkside. Dads gotta be prepared in this world.</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>Also the baddies need to get some engineers that have heard of redundancy!</p>
    <p> </p>
    <p>My favorite bit was the TIE fighter attack, with Rey yelling why do you keep holding my hand I can't run like this! Or words to that affect, very Abrams but very funny. Oh and Han doing a landing approach at light speed. Hopefully the new directors can learn from the good bits, no gimmicky CGI and add some new interesting plot lines rather then rehashing again. </p>

    Have seen it three times. My seven year old loved every second, five year old not quite as much, now I think about it when I watch with them on DVDs we do tend to skip to cool scenes ie darth maul, Jango Fett, walkers etc. He did well to last the distance. All the people who criticise it are right in a way, it has many flaws....but it's Star Wars.....<br><br>
    By far the funniest bit was when Han stepped onto the bridge, as you'll recall its a tense, quiet moment. I had to wait a few days to take them so needless to say I may have given away a few spoilers......My youngest yelled out 'Is this the bit when Han Solo gets killed Dad?'<br><br>
    So fucken awkward and hilarious. People in the states have been assaulted for that. I can only hope that others were seeing it for a second or third time....
