A.R.S.E.

8:30 is a lie in??? Half the bloody day is gone!

I was a bit underwhelmed by it. Too long. I thought the military action scenes were a bit dumb. I did enjoy Daisy Ridley and Adam Driver's scenes, however. Also Luke was better than expected although him doing comedy felt out of character.

I guess the next movie will be set quite a few years in the future?

Anyway, going to see it again in a few minutes. Will see if it grows on me. First time I've generally thought less of a Star Wars film than the reviews.

Same ticket here is only around £7.50

I thought the storyline with Finn and Rose was a bit unnecessary. I also spent the entire movie trying to figure out how they were going to kill Leia.

I enjoyed it but then I was always going to.

Start and end were good. Little bit drawn out in the middle and I thought the constant flitting between 4-5 different story lines got a bit distracting but I liked it a lot. The light sabre fights were good and I thought the battle sequences were well done. Maybe a touch too much comedy and I think if you took out the entire side story with Finn and Rose nothing would have changed.

[SPOILER]

They tried to shut down the tracker and failed then they tried to stop the cannon and failed so nothing they did had any effect on the outcome. Chop all of that out and the story would have been a bit more concise I think.

Did anyone else notice how diverse the cast was? I think they managed to get both genders of all races equal amount of air time.

C3PO is definitely gay too so that box is also ticked

Perhaps you noticed in the same way folks of those diverse backgrounds noticed their absence in the past.

There's no doubt the originals were full of white guys.

I enjoyed it. I didn't expect a wham bam thank you ma'am every scene and I was surprised at the time when it finished. I wasn't bored at any point.

Yeah it was fun.. Some scenes were cringe worthy though.

Some valid points (and spoilers) in this scathing review..

Watched it yesterday and enjoyed it as a stand-alone Star Wars action-adventure.

I think they could do with a few new tropes, though.

I left for a few weeks overseas just as this came out, I thought I might see it once I got back but I kinda got sucked into the controversy and ended up completely spoiling things for myself. I'll give it a watch once it comes to Netflix but I've pretty much decided not to see any future Star Wars movies at the cinema, it's just a cash cow for Disney and I'm not going to support them as they slowly destroy Star Wars.

There are a few scenes that really sing on the big screen.. Go on cheap day.

It's worth seeing on the big screen.

Yeah I don't doubt you guys but it's become a matter of principal for me now, not that I really think I'm making a difference but I'm voting with my wallet

Trailer for Solo
Needed an actor with a slightly lower voice I think

Doesn't look too bad actually although it seems a bit too epic, I mean I don't know if it really fits Han that he has some epic origin story.

Red Letter Media did a video last week predicting what would be in the trailer:


And how did they do

I gave up years ago taking anything star wars so seriously. So I'm all in for this one & will enjoy it no matter what.

That Nerd Crew segment they do on Red Letter Media satirises the whole thing beautifully.

They are brilliant.
But I call BS on the 1% of people who get the top joke.

Some amazing CGI renders of star wars craft on this guys page. Talk about dedication to detail!!!
