SW's 3D is a post production effect made by computer.

Precisely. post-production 3-d effects are just not the same, imho--and will never justify my coin for seeing it as thus.

$3 difference? Your loss...

like I've said, Pacific Rim was pos production 3D and was visually AWESOME! it all has to do with the type of movie. I don't care if the Notebook had been filmed in 3D. it'd still suck.

It's not the cost. It's the tepid difference. I've seen movies like Tron and stuff in 3D, and was completely underwhelmed. Clearly post-production 3D is mediocre compared to GOOD 3D.

All I know is 3D version compared to the 2D version watched back to back was a vert different experience post production or not. Your stance closes your mind to an experience that may change it.

That said, I liked the execution, mostly. I don't expect all loose-ends to get answered/tied up. I am scratching my head on why Leia is simply a general. With all the hype episode 6 put into her force abilities/potential, having her as a a mere general...doesn't fit. Good movie. Worth seeing in the theatres. Not really a "must watch more than once" kind of movie. And yes, I still think Kingsmen was a better movie.

I'm really not sure why people are so hung up on Rey's success. It's fighting on a shitty desert planet and ......... THE FORCE! it's stronger with her. get over it

Other than that I agree for the most part other than I want to see it again and the Kingsmen was definitely not better. I liked it but hell no.

It was one of my issues with the movie, that and they seemed to attack the death planet with 20 X-wings lol.

I think you're a loyal--blind--but loyal fanboy, paul. You'd be in the vast minority of people who would rate Kingsmen lower than Episode 7. That was my contention, but I'm getting agreement from virtually everyone (I've personally interacted with) on that--emphatic to begrudging. The biggest reason why Episode 7 is NOT fantastic (good, great even, but not fantastic), is because it's a rehash. The reason why fans of 4-6 love it so much is because they literally tried to cram all of 4-6 into 1 movie.

-There's a desert planet with a marooned child stuck on it with a "trusted" guardian
-Said child learns the ways of the force over the course of the movie
-Home of said child is attacked by the bag guys and decimated, everyone is killed
-Escape abroad the Millennium Falcon
-There's a forest/green planet. There's an ice planet
-There's a gigantic superweapon that is the lynchpin of the bad guy's might
-Landspeeder turned on its side
-Droid entrusted with a crucial piece of information that HAS to make it to the good guys at all cost
-Millennium Falcon has problems
-Holochess
-Shooting at TIE fighters in the Falcon
-Tongue-in-cheek joke about a trash compactor in a scene so similar to the original that the computer console is identical
-Sarlacc eats a TIE fighter
-Main protagonist fights lightsaber that previously belonged to forebearers
-Bad guy wears a mask with a voice-synthizer
-Han is betrayed by someone he trusts

...do you really need me to go on?

No, because I quit reading after the 1st sentence but did read the last. Kind of like 99% of your posts. Anybody that starts with that doesn't deserve my time. Maybe that's why I still take up for you, I don't read all of your bullshit lol.

That's a crying shame. I'm far from the only one to see that JJ borrowed HEAVILY from the established canon to make Episode 7. He did it to Trek, the fact that he's done it to Wars should not surprise anyone. It's nothing to personally get offended at. I don't do ad-hominem attacks. I call it like I see it, and this movie--especially after a 2nd view, just seems like a rehash on every level.

isn't that sorta the whole point of the story? that they cannot escape their destiny?
