Yes agreed. Along with “stop holding my hand”. Just completely forced, trying a bit too hard and came off a bit cringe worthy.
Also on Finn, it was a tad hypocritical that he refused to shoot those villagers (noble as it was). But then moments later was quite fine with killing some of his ex-colleagues/friends.

Especially villagers who had just moments before taken up arms against the First Order.
I didn't find any of the lines in the movie cringe people are just nit picking.
Star Wars fans, nitpicking? Surely you can't be serious?

Watched it again today (4th time? Twice at the cinemas, once when the "blu-ray" came out, then today) because the sequel is almost here. Glad I did, had forgotten a fair bit. It's so ******* derivative of the 1977 movie.

Same just rewatched TFA, such a fun movie. 12:01 tomorrow can’t come quick enough.
Escape from Jaku my favoruite bit.
Yup, but the first half and opening scene in particular is still epic!
TFA is all about Han Solo for mine. New characters are introduced but the arch and style of the film is all about Han and Chewie, even the main villain is Han’s son. It’s a homage and tribute to him tied into a new hope as a guide, but it doesn’t completely copy it. Rey is obviously a “big deal” as well.

It feels better. Just gotta get through afternoon shift at work. Can't believe I forgot to get around to getting a Kylo costume to wear though, and for obvious reasons I can't go as Han again...

Took a hippy for TFA midnight screening. The smell of bourbon really sticks out in a cinema I found.

A hippy should smell of something else.
Saw it last night. Brilliant.

Force Awakens is a good Star Wars film
J.J set up a lot of good things for the Last Jedi and then Rian Johnson comes in and basicly shat on it with J.J now picking up the peices for 9.

IMO Force Awakens was made to be a nostalgia trip more than a solid story in the franchise.
It does it perfectly. Even though the story is not original, the movie itself is as memorable and action film as classic films from the 80s and 90s, and all of that is set up in the opening of the movie, another thing about TFA is that there are a lot of great quotes/lines in the film, it is very memorable and well made. It just doesn't have an original story. Everything else is brilliant.

One of my biggest issues with TFA was the final ship battle and wanna be trench run felt very token. The movie was definitely copying the OT but that aspect felt like a real chore to everyone involved and wasn't needed.

The beginning of the end of Star Wars
That’s how we will look back on this film.

Sure, Disney will be crying into their $250m opening weekend cash and endless positive reviews.

Who the * cares if the films did well financial, it's the products that us the fans will judge. Unless you have stocks in Disney I don't see why finical success would even rate a mention.
