I don't know man, but I do know that in all of the shots where John Boyega was close to the camera all I could focus on was his incredibly perfect and completely unblemished skin. I just wanted to gently stroke him.

This may win most unpopular opinion here... not sure you watched the same movie as the rest of us.

She's fantastic when she's in the right role and with the right director.
I hated her in Interstellar. She makes me cry every time I watch Take Shelter, though.

Thought he was great. Good voice and the acting fit the part so well.

Crazy question..
Could Darth Vader who Anakin had finally defeated (by turning against the dark side) still be alive in ghost form? Much like dead Jedi's who can communicate with the living via being one with the force.
If so, could Ren be communicating with ghost form Vader?

Tom Francis is a smart guy who makes great games but is also a good writer (from a previous life as... a writer), I feel like he captures his thoughts on the film (which are similar to mine) well in this blog post:

I'm pretty sure having the same basic plot was intentional to kind of make it "old but new at the same time". While the plots mostly the same, the new characters and their interactions with old ones along with the stuff it sets up for the next movies are where the movie shines to me. While the new death star was being blown up, which yeah is kind of ridiculous at this point, the real focus was the scenes with kylo ren, han, rey, finn, and then in my opinion the stuff in the light saber duel at the end was great. Also I liked the direction with luke going into hiding and them having to find him.

Adam Driver is the best. Always.
Maybe it was a binary system? I mean, if you're gonna make a planet that eats stars, probably would make sense to build it in a system with more than one star.

When people say things like "he can't act." How are we supposed to take it seriously? I mean, I'm fine with "I didn't like his acting for x reason." Or "his take on the character wasn't my cup of tea."
But just "can't act" as if the biggest Hollywood movie ever just let a guy from the streets just phone in the main bad guy and didn't say anything...
Same thing when people say something like, "Fallout 4 is garbage..."

Driver has such an unusual speaking rhythm. Its like Christopher Walken not high.

So how do you guys personally feel the new trio ranks? I honestly love all of them and can't really decide yet (though I'm leaning towards Finn), but am curious if there is a clear favorite among GAF.
I think he was find. I just think it comes off strange as right now he is a discount Darth Vader
Nonsense. She's had some bad roles lately but she's GOAT in The Tree of Life.

Poe >>>>>>> Rey >>> Finn
Always fun to come into these kinds of thread and think to myself, "So many terrible opinions in here..."
Only to realize that's the beauty of an opinion, it can't be "wrong" in the traditional sense.
Film was amazing. Only qualm was Carrie Fisher not being the best actress in the world, but they played it well.
The callbacks were essential to inform new viewers of some back story. It would be fun to watch this one first and go back to the OT trilogy and catch what the references were about.

I thought he was fine.
Although, it does make you wonder who auditioned for this part and lost.

Think he nails my feelings as well. I had no desire to see Han and Leia's old wrinkly faces shoe-horned in and Chewy/droid banter. Story could have worked well with just new characters searching for Luke Skywalker.

Yeah I thought the same, that Vader might still be alive in some way, especially if Snookie really is Plagueis. But the scene where he speaks to him makes it sound almost like a secret talk, and what were Vader's intentions? Whatever they were they supplanted the emperor, so presumably Ren is implying he'll get rid of Snookie and either be done with everything then, or rule in his place.
It's because of Finn's wide ass.
Finn = Rey >>>>> BB-8
That's likely intentional.

He's certainly the coolest, but I think part of that is his limited screen time. Really hoping we get to delve deeper into his story in VIII, hopefully with a Finn team-up.
Haha, I meant Poe, but I guess BB-8 fits that question as well.
Yeah, I was very confused at the actual politics at play. Is the entire New Republic gone?
Well, you certainly won't find a majority of nuanced opinion on a mostly anonymous message board where you can post a knee-jerk reaction without ever needing to justify it.
Most people would related "can't act" with "his acting didn't connect with me, I didn't find him believable".
I, however, strongly disagree with that.

Well, Anakin is in ghost form at the end of Return of the Jedi. Anakin is Vader. Even though he went Dark Side he can only be one person/one ghost.

I'm saying when people label things that are obviously well received hyperbolically as "terrible." No justification. No nuance. Not claiming is an opinion. Just claiming it as a fact as if they are the arbiter of quality.
I liked him in While We're Young, but this was so different (yet somewhat similar) and much better than anything else he's ever done.
I don't remember what he said but my memory of it is that it was pulled from the history lesson he gives Luke in IV, about the Jedi and Empire and so forth.
Driver played my favorite character in the movie. He's fantastic!
saying someone was terrible is not really an opinion. it insinuates a level of objectivity, and that is worth shitting upon if it's blatantly false.

...lacks reading comprehension.
Nah, he's possibly only in the movie to raise interest for the Rogue Squadron movie.

Likewise let people dissent to said opinions in what one would call debate or open discussion.

People in my theater clapped when:
The opening credits + music began playing
Han Solo + Chewie first appeared
R2D2 rebooted
The end credits rolled

I defiantly think it was. He's like anakin still struggling between the light and the dark side

Even though I knew it was coming, the Luke reveal was so great. Hamill totally sold an older, hardened Luke with his look and expression
Anyone wish he had shorter hair though, or the longer hair was good?
