I have to agree. I hated the last Star Trek film because of its reference to WOK. While watching, I became infuriated that it was recreating the WOK death scene almost word-for-word. Why go there? Why redo an entire scene like that? It ruined the film. I'll never watch it again. That...

Just read this article, which is basically everything that has been discussed here already. I can see why Lucas is disgruntled. Disney didn't want HIS ideas and fans are actually liking a Star Wars movie, for the first time, in many years. But Lucas sold the pooch for 4 billion dollars and...

Back in the day, I believe there were only 5 pictures nominated. Today, there are almost a dozen. So, certainly, chances are great that Star Wars will get a best picture nomination. It's not that hard to do anymore. (However, realistically, not particularly Best Picture nominated material)

Kevin, Yeah, for the most part, Abrams remade the first movie. He played it safe, and that's why it worked. Still, he managed to keep it somewhat fresh and entertaining.

Don't know how much this helps...

I think that's exactly the case. This was one final paycheck to secure his future. Harrison did not like playing Han Solo.

And Harrison Ford wanted out for the longest time. There was no doubt in my mind that his character would be killed off in this film.

Saw it twice in 3D Imax. The NYC screening had a much larger screen. ....but am I right about the 2 pop-out moments? I believe those were the only two prominent pop-out moments. ...and no, it's not all about pop-out --- but those two moments were pretty cool.

Yeah, I commented a few posts above... Absolutely loved it. Thought it was as good as the first two films (Episodes IV and V). Actually went to a theater TWICE in a week. I saw the film a few days early at a press event. I could not talk about it. Disney and LucasFilm were very strict...

The logo was extremely, tastefully done. Could you just imagine if the Disney logo was put on there?! :blink:

I agree. Though I miss the Fox fanfare, the best thing they did was a silent LucasFilm logo. Very respectful. I didn't view it as much poignant, but a very clever way for the audience to keep tabs on the one particular stormtrooper out of his dozens of lookalikes. Blood on the helmet...

I absolutely loved this movie. About as good as the original, I think. What makes THE FORCE AWAKENS so remarkable is that Abrams had such a huge burden on his shoulder to deliver a film that lives up to the originals, yet avoids the problems with the prequels. In that sense, he delivered...
