I would further say that JJ Abrams has no soul.

JJ Abrams is really Clifford the Dog in a almost convincing man suit.

The first JJTrek movie is probably the best Star Trek movie besides Wrath of Khan

I won't lie, 2009 Trek was a good movie.. then Into Darkness came out.

It doesn't, but Into Darkness will mire the entire JJ Trekverse for me even though 2009 and Beyond were good movies.

The problem with TFA, besides JJ Abrams involvement, is it tried too hard to be A New Hope... Which given JJ Abrams involvement I guess was to be expected. He made a lovely low effort unfun rip off of Wrath of Khan so I guess Star Wars needed its turn. At least he didn't go for the Empire Strikes Back rehash.

Just because he didn't write them doesn't mean he had no influence over them. What are the odds that he directs two films that are complete rehashes of prior successful films in two different franchises, only a few years apart?

The only movie I enjoyed that Abrams had any involvement with was Armageddon. Everything else he has done movie wise has been a dud for me. I will admit I've not seen any of his television work but I also don't really watch T.V.

It's really weird how dedicated some of you are to saying the new Star Wars is bad even though everyone loves it.

Dude hell yeah he is. I was like "wuh" when I heard the announcement and then thought about Looper again and it made perfect sense. He's a very good choice to make a new Star Wars picture.

Not to go off topic, but Looper loving owned hardcore.
