I'm so sorry to say that this movie only rates 2 stars in my opinion, The story line is just not up to the hype and expectations we all had. The actors do the best they can with a very weak story line. The effects are good, but that's about it.
The movie was awesome even if you are not a star wars fan. JJ should have made the movie a bit longer, 2hr and 40 minute would have been my ideal time ;) It sure isn't the best movie of all time, but its not like this is the last star wars, there will be plenty more to come, so we shouldn't rate bad just because the story looks similar to the original movie, think of it like a TV show, more will be made. I am a hardcore movie fan, I love the movie but they could have made a few things way better. If Ledger can perform great as the joker, other actors should do the same for movies like these. Worth seeing the movie of course :)
A good production and a return to the former Stars Wars glory. There are some issues with the story, such as the very dry relationship between Han and Leia (though it is somewhat explained during the movie), the C3PO's red arm (seriously in that age and technological advancement it is hard to believe they couldn't find a replacement of the same colour). Script is quite good, action scenes are well done, lighting proves impressive and cinematography is solid. All in all, this new installment will not disappoint.
Poor acting, weak plot, not worth the money
Very much the same as the original Episode 4... Not enough NEW ideas to make it interesting.
I loved it. The feel and look was different yet similar and the CGI was wicked. Way better flight battle scenes with crisper CGI. It's hard to explain, but there were a couple issues which I wish I could explain why I didn't like a certain part or it shouldn't have been in the movie but not spoil anything. It definitely leaves you wanting to watch more of it and to watch it again and again.
Amazing!
Star Wars, Star snores. Boring movie. Wait until DVD. Save your $.
Same kinda fun as the 1st (Star Wars: A New Hope)
Literally nothing new or original, this is nothing more than re-branding of the same plot points in the original trilogy, only Luke is a girl this time around.
