  • Lets not forget it was P&W that came up with that foster brother nonsense. Yes I know some of you are going to say it wasn't a big deal. Well I've lost count of the amount of articles that reference this element of SPECTRE and the fact it fe…

  • What I'm finding quite interesting speaking to some people I know is that. They aren't realising that the light sabre Maz gives to Finn after Rey refuses to take it after the reaction she gets from touching it when she discovers it in that chest …

  • Star Wars The Force Awakens 2015 Don't worry this is spoiler free! Yes it's borrows heavily from the original trilogy and at times copying it wholesale but unlike the lifeless prequels it has heart and soul and characters that we care about. I…
  • The Box office was always a given for this film but like some are saying there is too much of preoccupation with this factor now. Some people are measuring films quality by this and Trevorrow getting Episode 9 on the back of Jurassic World is wor…
  • It was predictable and borrowed from the original trilogy but my oh my what an incredible experience. New and old characters mingle together and the new series has a big bad to be reckoned with. You should recognise our boy as well, gotta be one…
  • 8pm tomorrow the fun begins, I seriously can't wait. I don't care it cleaves to the OT so much as seems this is where criticism is most. It would have been far too ballsy and risky to give us something totally original with the first one out the…

  • I think if you weren't there at the beginning and I don't mean disrespect, you'll never really get the thorough disappointment we experienced with the prequels. If you saw the OT on TV or video and then watched the PT on the big screen and it was…

  • Lets face none of the ideas in the scripts or in the final film were any good but the brother thing for some maybe fine but to me I would rather it never happened. The old MI6 scene is the worst climatic set piece of the Craig era. Some of you…

  • Waltz wasn't the problem he did fine it was the material he was given was the problem.

  • The more it gets discussed the more I beginning to dislike it, I'll have to wait till the Blu ray because I'm certainly not paying to see it again. SPECTRE is turning into the biggest missed opportunity of the Craig era, to think what could have …
