I hope this movies does not suck like the prequels.

“I hope this movies does not suck like the prequels.”

Agreed. Terrible acting; almost unwatchable.

[GeorgiaDawg32]

I thought the remake of star trek was pretty good.

[Diana in Wisconsin]

Agreed. Those prequels were AWFUL!

[NorthMountain]

I won't be there.

Sorry.

I enjoyed that little movie called "Star Wars" back in '78.

Since then ... the suckage has become intolerable.

This film will be available online the day before it opens in theaters.

The first Star Wars in 1977 gave birth to the blockbuster era of film making I believe 'Jaws' is considered the first blockbuster in 1975

It’s striking to me how reporting on grosses and potential grosses of “blockbuster movies” never takes into account the quality of the film. If Abrams can pull off a movie half as good as “The Empire Strikes Back” or even his first Star Trek re-boot then there will be lots of box office cash.

On the other hand if this is another piece of crap like “The Phantom Menace”...

Lucas said point-blank that Episode 3 was a statement against the evil-stupid-genius George W BOOOOOOSH.

I am actually looking forward to these new Star Wars films.
I'm glad Lucas sold it to Disney, they did a good job on John Carter (even though it didn't do well at the box office), and I think Disney will put good writers on these films, so we should see some better dialogue.
Lucas was great at the "grand vision" sort of thing, but was not at writing dialogue (and yeah, Jar Jar Binks was a disaster).

I hope this movies does not suck like the prequels.

I remember going the first week to see The Phantom Menace. What a POS. I thought all the prequels sucked. And if you watch them in order starting with the prequels, they're full of spoilers for the three films of the original trilogy.

Well, this is a totally different production company. It is actually utilizing skilled writers and directors and not a hermit puttering about on a compound in California lost in crazy dreams.

It is being written as an action Western in space. That is what Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back where. Space Westerns.

[Jim from C-Town]

I may have to take my 9 year old son. The last movie I took him to was an epic disappointment. The Hobbit II.

Movie was totally destroyed by Peter Jackson a man in serious need of an editor and a studio executive to say ‘STOP! Enough already. Stop changing the story and making it ridiculous!’

[kidd]

JJ Abrams is the director for Star Wars 7

Mixed feelings about him.

Loved LOST.
Hated both Star Trek babies movies. Ruined the franchise
Cloverfield and Super 8 were good
Mission Impossible was fun, but ridiculous.

As Yoda would say “Be warned and watch, but suck it will”

[minnesota_bound]

It will make lots of money. People will go see it because of the original cast. We will be disappointed by the new characters looks as they look like bland tv commercial characters.

[wagglebee]

The first Star Wars in 1977 gave birth to the blockbuster era of filmmaking — and grosses.

Not to split hairs, but Jaws gets the credit for that.

I hope this movies does not suck like the prequels.

I couldn't agree more, but I have a feeling it will be worse than the prequels. I fear that it will focus so much on computer-generated special effects that it won't have a real story.
