I just saw a clip with Harrison on Jimmy Fallon. I dunno, I kind of feel like he's just embraced the grumpiness as part of his image. Him having a sarcastic sense of humour doesn't read as "I hate these goddamn movies" to me. On the subject of Oscar Isaac, I've wondered for quite some time if they won't give his character a bigger role in VIII. Like, while Rey or Finn is off training with Luke, he'll get more time to shine outside his X-Wing.

I really liked it. It all looked great, and the worlds seemed believable, without them needing to overexplain things. Movie works on itself too, you don't really need to see the earlier movies to get the plot, though previous exposure is needed to see all the fanservice moments. New cast was terrific. Boyega was fantastic and has great comedic timing, I liked him alot. Ridley was very good at emoting without speaking, Isaac was cool, and Driver was REALLY good as Kylo Ren. I was really worried, since I had seen him in "Girls" and really didn't care for him there, but I totally loved his potrayal of an emotionally unstable villain. His tantrums when things went wrong where he just destroys what's around him without actually killing anyone was pretty rad. Was pretty interesting that they dropped the "Kylo is the son of Han and Leia" bomb as early as they did. Makes sense I suppose. We're all jaded from that sort of plottwists from the OT so might as well get it over with quickly. Starkiller base worked differently than I had imagined it, and I have to say, I would prefer my own version. I imagined that the weapon took out the major sun in any system it was pointed to, which would cause a supernova or black hole or what-have you, something that in turn would spell the destruction of the surrounding systems. Instead it's just a Death Star laser that splits apart and takes down whatever is in the area. Same thing I guess, but I thought the name "STARKILLER" was a good indicator on what it would do. Oh well. Eagerly looking forward to VIII.

Music was okay. Nothing special, other than the good ol' classics. Nothing bad, mind you. But found no real gems when I saw it. But I'll try to pay more attention to it the next time I get the chance.

Randarkman posted:John Williams is getting pretty old. I did not really think much of the music at all during the film, it's all the normal Star Wars stuff and some new stuff which I can't really remember at all. Which is kind of disappointing as even the Prequel trilogy has tons of music in it (mostly in Episode I) that's really good and memorable. Then again, John Williams is getting old and JJ Abrams seems to go for kind of bland "epic" action scores for his movies, Star Trek 09's score was pretty bad in that regard. At least with Star Wars you have a pool of good stuff you can (and are expected) to choose from. Yeah, audio and visuals were great. I'll still buy the soundtrack I suppose, but I think it's good if people don't expect any new "Duel of Fates" kind of tracks this time around. One thing I should bring up: The lightsaber fight in the end is fantastic! They did a very interesting and intense fight without it being gimmicky and filled with cartoonished jumping and such stuff. My crowd frigging EXPLODED with cheers when the lightsaber rushed past Kylo and straight for Rey.

I don't like Kevin Smith but he sure likes Rogue One, apparently. http://heroichollywood.com/kevin-smith-rogue-one-wonderful-great/ His words on Vader sounds very promising. Vader a la "Alien" sounds more and more likely.

(Generally I cry to movies such as "Son of Saul" and not space magic but hey we're all different).

Kingtheninja posted:Yeah in english. I moved here in Aug from the states. Most of their American films are played in english audio, with finnish and swedish subs. Children's movies are usually dubbed in finnish, but occasionally they'll have an english language showing for them (Kubo, for example, had one ENG showing at night when it was here). Exactly the same as the Swedish cinema scene then, cool.

I really liked it. Sassy Vader is my favourite Vader. Also, the space battle in the last act was awesome. Probably the best stuff they've showed us in the franchise. ALSO, Alderaan is confirmed as the first planet fully destroyed. Jedha and Scarif are both hit with a limited blast, which looked like a civilization-ending impact event, but not enough to pulverise the planet itself.

I don't feel the reshoots messed anything up though. The movie was a bit choppy at first, perhaps, but it got a lot more focused as time went on, and the finale was actually very easy to follow, despite a great number of characters spread out over a big area.

What I loved with the ending is that you get the impression that this was a costly victory for the rebels, and this first major victory against the Empire was very nearly all for naught. The more I think of it, the more stuff I want to see again. Like the scene where they push two Star destroyers into each other, slicing them apart.

TheBigBudgetSequel posted:"Apology Accepted, Captain Needa" comes to mind Exactly. Vader has a long tradition of showing a (very) dark sense of humour: "I find your lack of faith disturbing" "The emperor is not as forgiving as I am!" That whole scene at the beginning of ANH also comes to mind, when he chokes a rebel to death and expect him to answer his questions at the same time. I always took it as a morbid joke of sorts.

Hyrax Attack! posted:I agree there is a great deal of stormtrooper death, but lots of rebels die at imperial hands: Add to the fact that each and every one of those ships and pilots lost was probably a painful loss for the rebels, while it was probably the loss of the Death Star that was the first substantial loss for the Empire. Arguably, the data banks on Scarif was pretty important, but not important enough to stop Tarkin from blowing them apart.

Soundtrack is on Spotify. It's quite underwhelming to be honest. Not actively bad, but few things that takes your attention. I like "When has become now" because it invokes the Death Star/Imperial theme from ANH, which I always liked in its simplicity. "Hope" is terrific. Even without the added epicness of a Vader tantrum.
