-As fun as the Vader scene was, it did feel like fan service that was tacked on. And boy, did this movie have a lot of fan service in it.

-I will praise some of the action but only to a certain extent. The final battle had some good sequences Gareth Edwards showed off his sense of scale when the AT-ATs first showed up. Despite that, I was not connected to the characters so the battle was not as affecting as it could have been. However, the city battle in Non-Tatooine had horrific editing. I found it difficult to tell what was happening in that city battle. Also, they need to stop doing faux-Tatooine planets, give us something different.

-The biggest flaw that I had was that Krennic was an extremely weak villain. He actually gives Joker from Suicide Squad a run for his money. He accomplished nothing in the film and is nothing more than a minor inconvenience at the end of the film.

-Since you brought up Saw, I do have to agree he was way too over the top. I actually found it hard to take it seriously. For a film that was trying to be gritty, I found it a bit silly.

-I did not mind Vader's quips in the film since he was a bit sassy in the original trilogy as well. Also, you have to admit that was a nice pun.

-I fully agree about the main cast of characters being extremely forgettable and boring. Have to admit, that I found K-2SO to be my fav character by the third act since everyone else was dull as dish water.

-You mentioned lazy scenes and I have one in particular that annoys me. The rebellion betrays and basically uses Jyn to kill her father(and almost her as well) and then a few hours later she's giving a rousing speech to the same rebellion. She completely forgets about what the rebellion did to her a few hours earlier.

-I did not mind the lack of a Star Wars crawl since it was trying to be its own thing, for better or worse.

Also agree with what you're saying about the message becoming unimportant all of a sudden.

Yeah, K2SO's deadpan delivery could be viewed as tiresome but I didn't mind that much since the other characters were so dull. The blind monk and his friend were alright but I do wish that their death scenes had carried more emotional weight. I'm a self-proclaimed action fan and I've never seen IP Man.

I also forgot to mention one of the most bothersome scenes in the film and that was the tentacle scene. It was jarring and silly that it took me out of the film.

I'm actually one of the few people on here who loves Nosedive. Yeah, it doesn't do much with its themes but I had a blast watching it. I'm a sucker for black comedies and road trips filled with wacky misadventures. I would try to stay true to myself or I think I would. Who knows, maybe in five years when that becomes our reality.

Playtest was actually my least favorite of the new season. I thought it was bland and boring. I could tell where it was going and the over-acting wasn't doing it any favors. I will admit that I did feel sorry for the guy and he really should not have turned on his phone. Throughout the episode, I kept thinking of the CEO as an evil Hideo Kojima, not sure if you know him.

It's a toss up between Shut Up and Hated for my favorite of the new season. It was a properly bleak episode and delivered everything that I wanted from a Black Mirror episode, including the twist at the end. I don't know, back in my younger years I may have gotten a virus or two from doing the same thing. It happens when you're young alright.

Yeah I agree with you on San Junipero. Not to mention that it takes quite a while to get going. Even though I didn't love this episode, I have to admit that the scene when she sees Yorkie in real life was really well done. They really should have delved deeper into the philosophical aspects of it. It also bugged me how Kelly eventually went back to Yorkie in the end. She honestly had no reason to. Yorkie insulted her dead husband and gave Kelly no reason to stay behind it.

Shame on you. Men Against Fire was predictable but I really liked the way it was handled. The execution helped it's predictable plot. Hated in the Nation is an interesting procedural that eventually hits in you the gut so be prepared.

So for me it's

Shut Up and Dance/Hated in the Nation

Nosedive

San Junipero

Men Against Fire

Playtest

Balthazar was a funny guy, hate that he had to die. Also he does look a lot like Gordon. That was one of the best episodes of Supernatural. Misha was so funny in it.

Didn't like that Bobby and Cas had to die. At least we have Lucifer back. So what do you think of season seven? Can't say that I'm liking it, the leviathans are boring villains.

Bobby should have gone out in a bigger way. There's not that many great supporting characters left now either.

It would be an easy way of bringing Bobby back. Well Gordon was a fun character to hate and easily puts Dick to shame. Yeah it definitely needs more rock. Wonder if it was because of Sera Gamble that there isn't that much rock music anymore.

Same here, hoping it gets better without her.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed it. Yeah, her being a puppy made it so much worse but at least you were prepared. But it does give the film the emotional drive that it needs.

The scene with Jimmy was hilarious and this film does have some black comedy in it. You'll be pleased to see who returns in the sequel. I wish Perkins had survived to be a recurring villain in the series, her fight scene with John was great.

The action was staged perfectly and Keanu is a beast for how old he is. Hopefully the third one is the last one so he doesn't have to keep doing this when hes 60.

I could reveal whether the dog survives the second one. Oh and I loved the second film.

I didn't like that Bobby's death felt anticlimatic. That's how it felt to me, it should have been done better. Bobby was a fantastic character, going to miss him. Season finale was pretty weak too.

One thing that I'm hoping they do for next season is bring back some of the monsters that Sam and Dean have killed. Dean and Cas are in the place that they go once they die, so maybe we'll see some of them again. Maybe like Gordon, the werewolf chick, and maybe even Bobby since ghosts are monsters. It would be a shame if they miss that opportunity. And yeah I do want Gordon back.

Hawkeye was in Thor. It would be great to have Coulson around still.

That is pretty dumb though, why would you have a button to release all of the monsters? Same thing happened to me, there was only like three other people in the theater too.

I doubt the archangels will come back. They've lost their rings and their power. Then again, you never know. Death was great and the actor did a good job playing him. I liked the Famine episode, even though it was nasty in some parts like Cas eating raw meat.

There was a lot of hints that Chuck was God but yet again we don't know for sure.

I hadn't thought about that. Naomi could be manipulating him. That would make a great twist.

Yeah, they should have kept an eye on her. It was pretty funny seeing him shop for Dean.

I liked the subplot with the kid more than I thought I would.

I think that's one of the reasons why I enjoy the earlier season more. I loved the bond that Bobby had with both of them and it was great to watch. I don't know, it just bothers me a bit that Chuck would sit back and let that happen. I know that's his philosophy but he would have a breaking point as well.

I can understand your point about the theme of the show being family. At least it's far more subtle than the Fast & Furious films where they say family every five minutes. And yeah, I agree that it is better than defeating the big bad villain like they've numerous times already. It does raise questions about what the other Men of Letters factions were doing while all the big stuff was going down. Lucifer sticking around does contradict what they've said about scaling things down. I really do hope that they don't waste him next season.

I'll agree that Jeremy Renner could have had more to do in the film. However, I do think that he does serve his purpose in the journey of Amy Adams character.

They probably did all of that in a montage in order to be time efficient.

The soldiers were probably acting out of fear and wanted to eliminate the threat that they viewed as dangerous before it eliminated them, from their pov. Also, they showed the rogue soldiers talking to their families and their well beings helped push onto that path.

I'm still trying to figure out why Veil decided to save Quinn's life.

The location change was definitely a benefit to the show. Yeah, I'm a Waldo fanboy.

It was a really fun atmosphere in the theater with nobody rudely talking. The worst theater experience I've probably had this year was with Mission Impossible with a couple that refused to be quiet. However, I will admit that I got so caught up in the film that I talked to myself a few times.

Looking forward to seeing Domhall Gleeson hamming it up in the sequels.

I'm going to be rather annoyed if they give Phasma a Boba Fett-esque type of death in the sequels. Yeah, the Kenobi theory is pushing it a bit. I don't think that would be possible. Another thing is that near the end of the film when everyone is waving the Millennium Falcon goodbye, I was scanning the crowd to make sure that Nien Nunb didn't die in the final battle. Glad that they didn't bring him back just to die.

It's going to be interesting to see more of Metatron next year.

I have no idea if the angels are going to be completely human. It was tragic seeing Cas looking at the sky like that. We probably will see Abaddon again next season in a different vessel. Hopefully Crowley stays as a semi demon since it'll be funny to see a sensitive side to him. Then again, I don't want him to be a weak ally. They did do a lot of work for the trials to not go through with it.

Klingons are definitely going to be the villains for the third one.

Just saw the extended promo and it does look great. Seems that quite a lot is going to happen in it. I don't think anything bad will happen to Cas and that he'll return to normal.

I don't like spoilers.

Oh yeah I hadn't noticed that it was Vancouver.

Crowley and Lucifer easily put the Leviathans to shame as villains. Told you that Crowley was awesome. Hoping the finale is great.

Since I'm guessing you're caught by now, isn't it great having Cas and Meg back? Also since Cas woke up in the same lake that he disappeared, I wish the guys would have searched for him around the lake for a while. Maybe they could have found him.

I LOVED the motel fight with the angels and Jesse. It was so silly and over the top. I was surprised at Miles death as well. I was also really shocked when Eugene got sent to hell and I'm hoping that they rescue him. Not sure why they couldn't just steal blood bags for him. I was a bit sad that the town got blown up since I grew attached to some of the characters such as Emily and more importantly, the random mascot. Shame that he killed himself along with the Indian mascot. Thoughts on the whole "God" scene? I thought it was really well done. Yeah, I'm guessing that the Cowboy can kill angels permanently. Quincannon is actually far more disturbing in the comics and they were pretty tame with him in the TV show. Oh and the No Rain cover in the finale was .

Glad to see that Mr. Harvey got what he deserved at the end.

Hmm I thought Lori did die before the prison.

Hope Adam returns in the future. The deaths were shocking when I first saw them. Also Cas saying "assbutt". Gabriel was a great character too, wish he didn't die. Also what did you think of the four horsemen?

However I'm not looking forward to this week's episode since it has Dick in it. Hopefully it proves me wrong and turns out to be interesting. I don't know who Felicia Day is.

I don't remember seeing Clark's mom being thrown around.
