The main purpose for this movie was reaching out to another generation. Watching their intensity while the action unfolded, I saw the same excitement in them that I had at their age for these stories. Congratulations!
Let down
Well done and awesome! Really out done themselves!
Not Star Wars material by any stretch of the imagination. The inclusion of a few shots with Carrie Fisher, Harrison Ford and a silent cameo from Mark Hamil certainly doesn't save this story. George Lucas's genius badly needed. Abrams directing is not as awful as in Star Trek though. He did a much better job here. But it is good entertainment and good Sci-Fi. This is aimed at today's kids who will grow up with a new Star Wars story and wont really ever know what the true one is, because the first 6 movies will seem so "alien" to them. Disney is in for a lot of $$$ which is their ONLY motivation. Respecting Lucas's legacy though? Who cares!
Yes I am a fan yes I went to the pictures to see it and yes I was massively disappointed. Why? Well this just episode 4 with a different cast. There is NOTHING original in this film. Female lead is playing Luke, Male lead is playing reluctant hero Han, Han is playing Obi Wan the Baddie is playing Darth Vader. The same death star getting blown up in just about the same manner as episode 4. They might have well just called this a Star Wars reboot. I have seen some lazy film making but this takes the biscuit.
Tribute has to stop multiple reviewing on this site. The point is for a person to give one review not have them here to argue others views. The dumbos reading this and going to respond with the how great the movie is can take hike. Hope you are getting paid bozos Avg movie. 2 stars. Lead actress was good. Excellent marketing Disney. Congrats on that trash. Bye
Copie paste from the 80's. They put the plan in a droid and the white smiley face solder look for the droid. but this time they omitted did not say these are the droid you're looking for. Other than that yes same movie. Also this is not a Starwars because of the rule of two that movie has no ground.
Entertaining, but completely devoid of originality. Ship designs - unchanged (and 40 years have apparently elapsed in the Star Wars universe) Plot - rehashed from 4-6 Antagonist - what a wuss! And why is he wearing that helmet, fashion statement? Darth Vader needed his to live. Exactly what I expected Disney would do with this film. Crowd-pleasing, family-friendly, rehashed story that takes no risks and as a result produces something that is mildly entertaining if only for the visual effects.
Loved it
Oh my god. Its soooo good. I've seen it 4 times. It gets better with each viewing. Don't walk...RUN to your local theater and check it out! Funny, emotional, action packed and just enough nostalgea to satisfy the old school fan but not so much that it alienates new fans. Its awesome!!!
