Or maybe... just maybe... i try to enjoy the movies without allowing what other people think bother me or change the way i form my opinion? The prequals had a plot that made sense. They had a beggining and an end. I wansnt left asking: who is this character? Why is she important? Why did these planets get destroyed? What are they? Why did a whole faction that is widely known to be evil get purposedly ignoreduntil they built a freaking planet weapon without anyone knowing anything about it? Just cause theres a dumb silly character jumping around tripping and beeing silly, its not gonna impede my enjoyment of the movie. It was meant as comic relief to keep a light mood. In SW7 it wasnt one aspect, it was everything!There were plot whole everywhere. None of it made any sense. It was disjointed and hastily put together. So, yeah take your contrarianism and keep it. Even if it was, i would be in my right to like what i want. I like things that are popular and i like things that arent popular. If you need other people to tell you what you like... then well... that is your perrogative. |
Just lets make this apples to apples. Here. Since TFA is P1 of 3 and you used the advantages of a story arc over an entire trilogy in your argument.
So take EP 1. By itself. Its your 1st SW movie. Who is ObiWan? Who is Qui Gon? Why do they matter. Wait laser swords. Jedi?
TFA actually tries to give enough background info on the old character, the force, the jedi, and other key parts of the lore that a 1st timer could at least kinda get what is going on. IMO TFA is the 1st SW movie since the Orginal you can watch without having seen the others. Yes the enjoyment is higher if you have seen the others but it is not required to follow along.
Also like I said, part 1 of 3. Years from now TFA will be judged based on how good the trilogy ends up being and how well it complements the total story. ESB is not the best SW movie when watch alone(like I said thats ANH or TFA), but it is the best IMO in the context of the entire saga.
As far as character arcs go, I thought the main 4 character were fairly dynamic. Rey, Finn, Han and Ren all progress quite a bit as the story unfolds. Yes Leia, Hux, Snoke, Chewie, Poe and other minor characters are static but that is there role in this movie.
psn- tokila
add me, the more the merrier.
