BloodBoal 7,538 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Are there any shots in the old trailers that didn't make the final cut of the film?Yeah, quite a few actually.In the first teaser: 00:39-00:40, 00:49In the second teaser: 00:52, 01:07 (I think), 01:21In the trailer: 01:29, 01:43 (I think)Plus there were a few more shots that appeared in TV spots that I noticed were missing in the film.

crocodile 8,006 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 TFA still is a very good movie, just not original in any way.Agreed and I completely agree with your longer review on the last page Stefan. And I agree too. I had a fun time at the movies, and got emotional reaction even to most of expected moments. And I could see many things coming (but that might be from reading some theories over the past few years).I can nitpick and take it apart and point out stuff... but the truth is I don't want to. I did what it had to do, and did it well. Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeallen01 2,136 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Just seen it. The first act was great. Very good introductions, and the humour and action was spot on. But the second act dragged for me. It didn't propel the story enough and the Yoda rip-off Maz didn't help. And the third act, well it was just A New Hope and Return of the Jedi AGAIN! Another deathstar, another x wing vs tie fighter battle and another blown up deathstar. Very uninspired. The first act gave me so much hope but they just blew it for me from then on. I enjoyed it, of course. I'm not an idiot, but it was disappointing in those respects that I mentioned. Also absolutely not a fan in any way of Snoke. Another forgettable CGI villain that looked and sounded ridiculous in his giant hologram chamber. Big positives - Rey was great. BB8 was fantastic. Ren was a decent villain. Practical effects were great.Big negatives - Snoke sucked, Phasma sucked, Finn was kind of over the top in every scene, Poe didn't do much to like, Another bloody deathstar, another desert planet, another ice planet. Oh and the utter predictability of Han's death was painful and unnecessary. Also Leia did nothing.Final and most shocking for me was no memorable new themes from Williams. Nice music here and there, but can't hum anything or remember anything new I heard. That is bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveMc 2,674 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Hmm, and I thought that Luke would be killed by Kylo, with Finn and Rey then going to face him, with Finn dying and Kylo revealing himself to be to be Re's brother. Oh, well. And I think the only way a Death Star would have worked would be if they gave it to a Resistance sick and tired of a 30 year war.

#SnowyVernalSpringsEternal 10,265 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 I quite like the opening shot of the Stardestroyer enveloped in the shadow.

Bilbo 3,709 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Did anyone else thought that the moment when they blow up Coruscant with the new Death Star is a not-so-subtle allegory for the prequels, i.e. let's wipe out the remnants of those films from the memory of the audience? It wasn't Coruscant. It was named at one point in the film but I can't remember what the name was. Definitely not Coruscant though. There are more PT references than just the Sith one. Kylo teases Hux about them using a Clone army near the beginning is one of the top of my head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And she's also portrayed as someone who can learn fast. And, unlike Luke at her age, she seems to be very clever. And I'm enjoying a strong proper female character.But, to be honest, I don't want to take it all apart this way, there's just no point. I've watched the original trilogy the other week (after a decade). It's not really as good as I remember, some of the writing (even in Empire) is very clunky. Hardly a masterpiece of screenwriting. But, Star Wars is about sweeping adventure, emotions and mythical vibe, not clever plots. And this is exactly what TFA delivers. It FELT right. And like Star Wars.Karol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If anything the film suggests that he is still in training.The concept of using the Force to extract information is a new one though. It contradicts the OT.But Alex, lets drop the pretense.

Kylo is able to stop people and lasers in their tracks as if he stops time itself. Then Ren discovers she knows a thing or two about the force as well and immediately she defeats Kylo in mind and force control. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
