I don't remember. I was goin' on a feelin' probably.@Ian Gordon Why did you like Red's comment in the Sandy Hook thread?
malf, I heard somebody on the radio say he thought it was better than the original series. I can't even begin to believe that.... Just seen the new Star Wars movie. It's actually alright.

About the only critic on rotten tomatoes who I think gave it an honest review...

I thought that 8.8 rating on IMDB was just baloney... Just look at the reviews on IMDB for a more realistic polarised reaction.
I understand where that review is coming from but maybe... just maybe... we look at the original trilogy through rose tinted glasses and take it all a bit too seriously. The prepubescent me loved the old movies but having looked at them again they are.. ahem... "not without problems". They were big old fashioned movies for kids (boys?).
Times have changed... Perhaps "The Force Awakens" is a movie for today's mass audience, but there's still a huge amount to like in it. I went again last night, this time in a big group and in 3D. Everyone came out buzzing with big smiles on their faces. Several of the group were not at all fans of "The Franchise" but had got pulled into the fantasy like never before.
And remember, they could have really fucked it up again. :)
I don’t know about the rest of you but I’ve grown exhausted with the horseshit, hater culture that online, millennial ‘journalists’ use to click-bait their way to some sort of self-perceived intellectual high ground. Hate first. Don’t bother asking questions later.
After all the thought and effort I put into prepping my review, the Huffington Post article had somehow stunted my ability to write about the new “Star Wars” movie. But I refused to be deterred. Thus, this article is not intended to review “The Force Awakens”. It’s intended to rip the head off the Huffington Post’s dumb-ass review and shit down its still-gasping esophagus.
