I have to agree with everything you said. I had to be careful not to write anything that might be a spoiler though. It does bring the Star Wars franchise back to the original concept. My son-in-law was actually disappointed with it, but we enjoyed it.Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07461569436322815787noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-19676892837190051922016-01-04T07:55:49.612-08:002016-01-04T07:55:49.612-08:00I've haven't seen the new Star Wars movie ...I've haven't seen the new Star Wars movie (or the last two for that matter...) but I've heard good things about it.

I watched it way back in 2001 and again this past week. My son recently went to see the latest movie and just HAD to get the boxed set so we are now watching them in sequential order. So far, so good. :)Serena Lewishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17789734075055678964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-24463134030799375752016-01-03T15:46:38.286-08:002016-01-03T15:46:38.286-08:00Happy New Year

Haven't seen another one since. But I hear good things about this one, so maybe I should go. We saw "The Big Short" on New Year's Eve. It was good, if you like that sort of thing.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-37947491553688670672016-01-03T13:02:36.236-08:002016-01-03T13:02:36.236-08:00My days were all mixed up with the holidays, too. ...My days were all mixed up with the holidays, too. <br />I haven't seen Star Wars but have heard good reviews and Dagan and Leah liked it.

I saw Star Wars The Force ...Happy New Year DJan!!!<br /><br />I saw Star Wars The Force Awakens on opening night here in Alicante, and the only reason I didn't go to the midnight session on Thursday was because it was playing in Spanish! :p <br /><br />I need to see it again before I emit judgement (I'm in the middle of re-watching the first 6 before I return to the cinema), because my brain was a little bit to "fried" with the excitement and the identification of "homage" moments to really evaluate the movie for itself.<br /><br />I did have 2 qualms about it: too many scenes were a homage to the original films (did they have to have <i>another</i> giant spherical planet blowing up machine with the exact same design flaw as before? And the lonely person on the desert planet, and the confrontation on the catwalk and its inevitable conclusion (*sob*) etc. Second: too many threads left dangling for the rest of the trilogy. Fortunately I think this means they can move on past nostalgia now and really develop the cool new characters which I LOVED! Especially Rey. She was amazing!!! Not too impressed by Finn though. And I thought Kylo Ren (*grumble*howdareyou*grumble) was a bit too much like a petulant teenager, didn't scare me like Vader did back in the day...CrazyCrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17512240982215608638noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6050996142546962834.post-45748316674321835882016-01-03T12:11:11.672-08:002016-01-03T12:11:11.672-08:00Really?!
