A tragic direction for the franchise to take.
If this is indicative of what the next ones will be like I won't be seeing them.
Saw this movie for a second time today and this time i really enjoy it. Good movie but i would not give it a rating of 5.
Haven't really cared for the last few Star Wars movies, but this is finally a good one.
No the best film but was good enough for me. :) Just simple and fun.
Best Jedi yet...one thing I didn't see coming.
Yawn!
The comments on this movie seem very polarized but I see why there's a gap. Many adults perceive what they've done to some of the main characters. For example, Luke, a Jedi Master, gets his butt kicked by a woman ( Rey ) with little or no training, yet we're supposed to accept this as consistent even if we've never seen the first six Lucas films. A five year old won't notice this but a family film also has to expect adults to be watching, and yes, we notice this and other annoying inconsistencies.
Any child will like the flashy special effects without understanding how the movie fails on different levels.
Looked forward to this but it was awful. The special effects as one would expect are decent but that's not enough to make up for a poorly written script.
