So I just saw Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and wow, what a surprise, it was really........ Good!
It was a good, fun, enjoyable movie. The music was great just like every other movie in the series. The acting was great despite almost every other movie in the series. Quite honestly, the most noticeably weak actors in the entire film were the ones from the original trilogy.The dialogue scenes between Harrison Ford and Carrie Fisher were a little difficult to take seriously.
Fortunately, however, the majority of performances in in this movie were actually pretty great. The majority of the characters were actually pretty well-developed too. They were interesting, fun to watch, and easy to care about. Although it was a little weird that, most of the time, the new Droid character just felt as though it was a spherical version of WALL-E. I literally stopped caring about whatever its name actually was and only started referring to it as BALL-E.
The film's pacing was also pretty well done. Although I kept expecting the movie to end several times, I think that was mostly my fault. With this movie being the first in a new trilogy, I wasn’t really sure exactly how wrapped up this movie was planning on being by the time it ended. And I think that’s what made me feel as though were a lot longer than it was. Because despite that, I was never really bored, but I found myself unintentionally anticipating the ending a lot more than I probably would be if this were just a stand-alone film.
One of the things I enjoyed most about The Force Awakens is that this is the most realistic a Star Wars movie has ever felt.With not all that much preventing me from believing what I’m seeing, I’m able to just sit back and watch the characters deal with their conflicts. And boy, is that ever personally refreshing for a Star Wars movie.
Now, before I watched The Force Awakens, I went back and watched the original trilogy. So the similarities between this film and A New Hope were pretty fucking apparent. Without getting too specific, some of the similarities were a little fucking ridiculous. There were a few moments where I found myself thinking “Really? This? Again?” Like, it wasn’t just hitting a lot of the same beats, there were quite literally identical problems and solutions. There were a few points where I found myself questioning the logic of the film. Like, apparently none of these ships need keys. You can quite literally just steal one without hot-wiring it or anything.
Anyway, I thought this movie was an enjoyable and refreshing addition to the franchise and I’m excited to see episodes eight and nine. Although I sincerely hope that they don't pull that bullshit where the third movie in the trilogy is split into two parts. Whatever, I guess we'll just have to wait and see, and I'm giving this one an episode seven out of ten.
