It was underwhelming and boring. I am a fan of Star Wars, but this did not measure up.
Way better than "The Force Awakens".
I've been and always will be a Trekkie but you can't deny how great this movie is. Personally, I felt it started a little slow but it every movie needs to explain itself which is why I didn't knock a star. The acting is great, the action is great and the effects etc. are out of this world! In my opinion, this is one of the best Star Wars films to date. Disney is the, surprisingly, the best thing that happened to the franchise since the original trilogy. If you love sci-fi, you will love this movie... especially the last hour. Unbelievable ending and a great prequel. I can't wait for the next. Thank god they didn't let that greedy, slime ball Lucas near this film. lol
Yet another sequel to a movie that should have had it's last sequel in 1983. instead of : A Star Wars Story, it should read : A Shameless Sequel Cashgrab.
It is Ridiculous how many 5 Star ratings a Movie this poorly made is getting. As with many other Bad Movies, the reviews are disproportionately stacked with 5 stars. Look at an honestly reviewed, Better Movie and you will see the breakdown is completely different. The Original 3 were true 5 Star Movies, nothing since, in Star Wars has been close, a 3 Star at best. I would have given this 1/2 a Star if I could have.
Boring, in a word. The Poster should a picture of a Dairy Truck, since they are milking the franchise for all they can. Save your money and take a nap, better use of your time, it is that bad.
Anyone who thinks this is the best star wars yet needs to get a life and a brain.
Well told storyline better then the last Star Wars Film . Thank you George Lucas.
Seriously? Haven't see a SW movie in 20 years and it felt like this one was done in the 80's too. Lame visuals, weak storyline....not impressed
I miss the humor, satire and personalities of the original movies. I guess another Harrison Ford etc is too hard to find. Felicity Jones is good but has weak counterparts and not a very clever script to play off. All the action you expect is here with the same old plot lines etc. Just not a lot of soul here. The movie sort of has an assembly line feel to it. Put in the correct ingredients and make a movie. Pass
