[QUOTE="ScruffyLookingNH, post: 467375, member: 6563"] Agree with all of that, Lee. Absolutely right. I've gone for 5/10 after only one viewing. It could be because I'm massively jaded having just missed the last 5 days thanks to the joys of seasonal flu, but the longer time passes between seeing this film and my thoughts on it then the less charitable I feel and less in a hurry I am to return. There was nothing clever about this film at all. Nothing. It took almost every plot thread that had potential and either killed it dead or turned it on it's head. To waste the scene of Luke handling his sabre lost on Cloud City for a cheap laugh of chucking it over his shoulder was, well, pathetic. I won't go over every other issue I have with the film and absolutely won't mention "that" space scene.... So why give it anything other than 1 or 2? Because there were some nice touches in it. Some original ideas. Some aspects that drew you out of the way you'd always thought of SW: good v bad, light v dark. That I liked. I also liked that fact that it was clearly going to appeal to a new generation, just as TFA did and that's great. I didn't want a film that satisfied the fanboys like we are (OK, I did, but that was never going to happen) but one that would bring the magic I experienced to this generation. Reckon this managed to do that and did it well. So for originality, bringing SW to a new generation and, frankly, balls, I'd give it 5. Going to be really interesting to see how these new films are considered in 5-10 years time. [/QUOTE]
