I saw it once in 2D, once in 3D, and now I want to see it in IMAX 3D. I really loved the 3D version. It was worth the extra money.

Way to jump the gun Bobby.
Posting from the other thread, here is a great review of TFA which articulates my thoughts perfectly.
Chris Stuckmans Spoiler review.
And also his spoiler free review which covers some other points I agree with.

Hm, you sure about that? I didn't hear the lovely prop engine wump-wump-wump-wump as it spins down in failure.

That doesn't sound too strange - she got left on a desert planet by (presumably her father) Luke, who mind-wiped her completely save for a notion of "wait here".
You wait till Plagueis is done with him. I reckon Plagueis was waiting till Kylo got rid of that last bit of light before properly and fully training him, and him killing Han achieved that. Now Snope is going to turn Kylo beast mode.

Kylo lost some of his "scary factor" when he took off his helmet and everyone realized that he looked like Ross.

Give some dudes bjs
'77 only had the rando in the cantina
The only person who lost a limb in ANH was the friend of the guy who was wanted in 12 systems.

(Quoted from the first thread.)
Outstanding review. I agree with every single one of his points. I especially like how he compared TFA to the Original Trilogy as a response to critical fans, and stressed the importance of the big picture we have yet to see. What a great way to illustrate Kylo Ren's substance and TFA's overall quality next to the other Star Wars films. So good.
I don't use Grindr anymore.

Is 3D at all worth it? Saw it in 2D, want to go again.

Technically C-3PO might've had its arm cut off in an off-screen scene.

That was actually something I liked a lot. People getting damage from the Lightsaber other than Limb Removal or Death.

It's both, but more yours. Was just giving the cliff notes version
Something your ruling out is that Kylo may know Ren. He seems to have a familiarity with her although nothing is flat out said. His offer to train her may just be mutual force respect, but it shows that he doesn't see her as someone lower than him.
His force push at the beginning of the final fight had nothing to do with a tactical way of knocking her out to bring her to Snoke, and everything to do with her strong feelings toward the father he had just killed.

OK done. What's step 2?
He doesn't cover as much as I hope he would. But pretty much all of what he covers I agree with. I certainly think there wasn't enough weight depicted in relation to Starkiller Base. I think Poe was under utilized. But I very much think a lot of the criticism against Rey and Ren is completely off base. I'm really excited to see the big picture of this trilogy.

I've never seen Star Wars before, so I have a few questions:
Who is Luke and why is he so important?
Did Darth Vader 2 or what's his face die?
How did Lin escape whatever they put the storm troopers under and develop Free Will, when the thousands of other Storm Troopers didn't.
Why did the Trash Can blue robot thingy randomly wake up when they arrived back? Does that have to do with Rey coming back and being forceful or whatever?
Why does no one have any parents but Darth Vader 2? Who are Rey's parents? Who are Luke and Layla's parents? Who are Lins parents?
How did Bo survive literally blowing and being sunken into the sand?
Edit: this is the spoiler thread, my bad xD

No Plinkett, no interest
(okay, some interest--I like their stuff. But Plinkett reviews are god tier)

Continuing from the last thread on how some wonder how Rey can pilot a ship so well because she must have only shit jobs in Jakku, and Luke being from Tatooine somehow piloting by the end of ANH a totally victory not clash with the argument whatsoever.
We have no knowledge of the past, so it is hard to fault the film from imaginary aspects that could of happen or couldn't. Also character skill leaps have pretty much been establish since the original.

The rays of the newly formed sun gives life to planets.
You've got literally zero information about what she does when she isn't actively scavenging. Once again, my issue isn't with the criticism of the insufficient portrayal of her background, my issue is that although a legitimate problem and I can see how it bothers some, it does not make her a Mary Sue.
*shudder*
BB-8 was the comedic relief in this movie and worked way better than Jar Jar. Both served a similar role too.

Anyone got a link to some TFA wallpapers for mobile and desktop?
Rey and Poe were my two favs from the film. Rey kicked all sorts of ass, but the film really did need more Poe. Actually felt like there may have been more of Poe in an earlier draft and the character got trimmed.
This argument is still raging on? Ren stopping the blaster bolt and freezing people with ease- a skill no one in the entire series has displayed with such prowess- feel like the out of character parts, not his loss to Rey. We get plenty of build up to that loss, but see nothing that suggests why a non-Sith, still in training, emotionally conflicted force user could pull off feats neither Yoda nor the emperor could.

and that's what makes him great. As far as I know there isn't any other SW character who's dark side and tempted by the light instead of the reverse. Plus this quote my friend sent to me.
It was so so great between that storm trooper who went HAM on him for being a traitor and Finn to see storm troopers with some emotion.

The answer to these questions are spoilers. Enjoy the OT

You should at least see the first Star Wars movie tbh.
Also, the answers to some of your questions will be revealed in the sequel. No one knows for the time being.
Palpatines old master (also Snope in TFA). The guy who's staff saber Rey conveniently found and is now using, from that defunct Super Star Destroyer she scavenged.
You watched the 7th installment of a movie saga...You should check the previous 6 films to answer some of those questions

It's quite annoynig reading a lot of 'why didn't Kylo Ren just force choke Finn/Rey?' replies. People act like the force is something that isn't affected by your state of mind.
Kylo is strongest when he believes he has the upper hand, when he believes they are afraid. And of course when he is surrounding by real fear.
As soon as they figure out that he is arrogant and desperate to be stronger than he actually is, it's over for him. This isn't new to this film.

Really looking forward to it. I sometimes watch their reviews for movies I haven't even seen. :lol
