Ghent Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Again- it was episode 1 of a trilogy. She wasn't supposed to have major charisma like the lead pilot of the resistance. She played the role of an average girl (with mysterious abilities) getting thrown into a monumental conflict. She hit it out of the park.

theedge00 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 The lead of a film doesn't need to be charismatic? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghent Posted January 3, 2016 Author Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Not in the same way that the galaxy's best pilot would be. Was Luke Skywalker charismatic in ANH? Nope, but Han Solo and Leia were because they were established bad asses. Luke was a moisture farmer and Rey was a scavenger. Had she been overly charismatic then her character wouldn't have worked so well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that fanboy is going to fanboy. Saying that it lived up to its hype and exceeded expectations....lol. I've been a Star Wars fan for as long as I remember life. This was a good movie, but you and others are going over the top with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But natalie portman was way better for me. Not necessarily in the movies themselves, but she is much hotter. Rey looks like a little girl to me. But I am also 33 y/o.

Cheerios4u98 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I think Rey is gorgeous. 10/10 would marry. Says the massive Star Wars nerd who is single. I thought Ridley's performance was great honestly. She brought genuine emotion to her role, which is something that Star Wars has been lacking for a long time.

Daisy Ridley is like a year older then me and she still looks way older than myself and any of my friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High Value Man Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 Huh, I am just now looking at recent pics and she looks a lot older, and hotter, in a regular setting than she did in the movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheerios4u98 Posted January 3, 2016 Report Share Posted January 3, 2016 I think she's much prettier in real life. But one of the things I like about Rey is that they didn't make her a supermodel in the movie. I was also surprised to find out that both Ridley and Boyega are younger than I am.

I feel like Portman would be a freak in bed and might actually end up teaching me a few things. I think with Daisy it would be more like "I better go easy".

But it's going to end up as the highest grossing movie in cinema history. I'd say it's safe to say it lived up to and even exceeded expectations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I for one wasn't expecting some masterpiece, I was expecting an enjoyable popcorn blockbuster in the same vein as Abrams' first Star Trek, which is exactly what we got. Well that's odd. Aren't you a Star Wars fan? Why settle for mediocrity? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
