mistermumbles: Just watched it this morning. It was pretty damn good actually. I definitely was pleasantly surprised. JJ did a commendable job with this one. As far as I'm concerned, it's about as good as one could have expected.
The wooden acting is gone (hooray!), the charm's back in, and I think they did a bang-up job going back to the old industrial design of tech with bits of modernization here and there. Of course you have your fan service bits at parts, some of which very much enticed laughs, but it's nothing that was played up much, thankfully.
Well, I had fun.
Funnily enough, I was looking at the new Battlefront game afterwards - I'm sure there'll be an uptick of sales now that the movie is out - but I couldn't get excited of the average gameplay from the beta. It looked and sounded phenomenal, but the game itself wasn't fun enough; I rather go back to the oldies for some Star Wars gaming. I ended up picking up a new copy of Dying Light for $20 for my Xbox One instead. I had fun with the demo, and for that price point I should be reasonably entertained with it.
Have you heard about Daniel Craig's cameo? I won't say in here but PM me of you care.The wooden acting is gone (hooray!), the charm's back in, and I think they did a bang-up job going back to the old industrial design of tech with bits of modernization here and there.
