Almost as good as the one with the whales.
This is the Star Wars movie I've been waiting for, fun, action packed, It has that a new hope feel to it which I loved and Solo steals the show with his great one liners that was missing from the last three movies. No Jar Jar not funny junk here. Some great 3D shots also that come right off the screen and a lot of questions that needs to be answered in the next two films makes me want to go see it again and wanting more.
The Brockville, Ontario, Canada cinema complex, theatre 3, has a focus problem from halfway up the screen to the top, making the Star Wars viewing experience a consistently blurry one. I went to see it twice, once 3D, once 2D, both times in theatre 3, both times very blurry in backdrop. Problem is screen itself. Something wrong with it. Very disappointed with theatre, cannot properly comment on movie because of it. Very poor behaviour for theatre management to hide this problem and destroy our experience.
It was very slow in many spots. You would think in the future they had a way to keep people looking younger. The hype far exceeded the movie. For those too young to have experienced the previous movies in the franchise, this would have been pretty good. Nothing really new.
See it! See it! See it! See it! If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for?
I'm not baised but most of thr movies was thr took parts of the old star wars movies and put together to make this it was off got boring at times not enough actions . Overhyped period. Grt some originality no need to cut and paste from other movies and please feed these kids look frail as a villain and jedi. Humor good at times but it's star wars should be more serious film.
My husband and just saw this movie tonight. I saw that it rated a 8.7 so it has to be good right? if your old like me and went to the 1977 Star Wars movie over and over again you will see that basically it's the same movie with a splash of empire strikes back and a varied subplot. Harrison ford was excellent and Po and Finn were very likeable. There were a lot of funny jokes. However, these movie does not deserve the hype it is getting. I wish i had waited for the DVD. In a word totally predictable. In fact i pretty much figured out the storyline of the next three movies.
I see a lot of complaints that the plot is derivative. Bah humbug - ggod guys go up against bad guys - what are you expecting? I thought the new leads were charismatic and did a great job. Lots of humor, and Harrison Ford really brought back that old Original Trilogy charm. If I had one negative about the viewing experience, it would not be with the movie itself, but all the freaking commercials before it started. Be prepared to stomach a good 20-plus minutes of ads for cars, cellphones, gum, batteries, and other assorted nonsense.
Meh. Rehash of old pots with different characters.
Movie was a bit slow at times, but it was because they need to give you some back story. Overall great start. Definitely a build up to further movies.
