The atmosphere seeing this in the IMAX was so fkin amazing, I love Rey I love her
I enjoyed this movie but it doesn't feel like something new. Kylo Ren is a great character and overall the acting is great.
In theaters 1x, read the novelization… I had such hope and rated it great. I’m finally rewatching at home and the script problems started showing. Ugh. Still better than its sequels and better than the prequels, but I’m taking my enthusiastic Trakt “great” down to “good”.
TFA amounts to little more than a rehash/reboot of some elements of ANH and most elements of ROTJ, but not actually as good as either.
Good points: seeing Han and Chewie, Leia, C3PO and R2D2 (to a lesser extent) and Luke Skywalker (briefly) again, the new Storm Troopers, BB-8, thrown in more for the robo-cutesy appeal, Kylo Ren. (excellently brought to life by Adam Driver) Kylo being Han and Leia's son Ben, and him having gone all "Order 66" on everyone at Luke's new Jedi Academy, the attempt by Solo to bring his son back to the light side and common sense, but Kylo/Ben weakly giving in to his hatred (and/or being too weak to resist Snoke's influence) by slaying his own father. But that's about it.
Bad points: everything else. Finn is the most annoying, unlikeable, gung-ho, American-GI-Joe stereotype ever. Bloody hell, even Han Solo thought so; as he had to tell Finn to reign it in and get a grip, at one point. Yes, Han was initially a bit arrogant and condescending to Leia, and full of macho charisma in the first half of ANH, but that was far less in-your-face and irritating than Finn's childishly over-the-top melodramatic outbursts. The First Order's Storm Trooper training would almost certainly have crushed that stupid macho crap, and any significant individuality, out of him, to the point where he wouldn't have cared one iota about another random storm trooper that was injured. At no point in any SW production prior to this has a stormtrooper ever stopped to rescue or assist a severely inured colleague, the hapless injured party has either been killed to protect security of their commanders, been abandoned and left to die, or else been killed by the enemy. They are literally cannon fodder in just the same way that the clones were - infinite troops on the ground to be the front line in assaults, but expendable and not individually important (apart from, latterly, a handful in CW/Rebels/BB animated shows), as the entire SW universe seems to hold a very blasé attitude to death, except when it comes to protagonists. Therefore, Finn's crisis of conscience and horror at the death of his fellow trooper, and the execution of the villagers, makes little sense. This can perhaps be explained away as a failure of his training, a "bug in the system" or something, but that training has never failed for the other few billion storm troopers. Ok, he may be one in a (few) billion, but if his demeanour had been more akin to, say, Crosshair from SW:BB (I know that BB came after TFA, but was just using him for comparative purposes), that would have made him far more believable, and likeable. As it was, he was just a dumb grunt trying to get the girl with his stupid, chauvinistic, macho antics. His entire existence in TFA just feels like an attempt to provide political correctness amongst the protagonists - arguably the same as Rey. Oh, and also to provide a totally needless love story - an element already provided by Han and Leia, but American film producers seem completely unable to have action heroes in films that don't have a romantic interest in one of the other protagonists. However, at least Rey was a likeable character. It's just a shame that she was effectively the rebooted young Luke, and her story was so poorly written. A little more understanding of her background, how she came to be living on her own on a desert planet working as a slave to some self-important alien, how she had gained any flying experience or technical expertise in starship maintenance when seemingly all she had to play with were the scavenged-to-death bones of Empirical war machinery, would have been good. It was a little too convenient that she had all the necessary skills, in just the right place, at just the right moment, in order that she could help to save the galaxy. And then, with one touch of the mysteriously-recovered blue "Skywalker" lightsaber (thought to have been lost along with Luke's severed hand in ESB) - , to be "Force-awakened" enough to master the "Jedi mind trick" and wield a lightsaber well enough to defeat a highly-trained-by-Luke-Skywalker, Force-strong opponent, never mind whether or not he was already injured. Talking of which, Ren should have been able to easily defeat a bloody storm trooper with no Force powers and no lightsaber training, without even having to pause for breath or because of his injury. Finally, how is it that, in ANH, the only reason that Luke was able to fly through the Death Star and strike the killing blow was because he used the Force to guide him. He turned off his targeting computer. Poe Dameron, however, successfully makes a flight of equal difficulty through just as narrow a course simply by being a fearless maverick with excellent piloting skills. As well as belittling Luke's achievement in ANH, this also seems far too convenient. But without directly ripping off ANH by having Rey making that flight, what else could they do, as they do, having backed themselves into the same design-flaw failure plot hole as ANH and ROTJ?
To summarise, TFA relies on plot-conveniences and ideas lifted from previous SW films at every turn, without really coming up with anything new at all. It's an ok Star Wars film, and has the advantage of being technically superior to previous productions (as you'd expect), but it could have been so much better.
A triumphant return to form for the franchise, capturing the spirit and excitement of the original trilogy while introducing a new cast of characters and a fresh storyline. The movie strikes a perfect balance between nostalgia and innovation, paying homage to the classic elements of the Star Wars universe while also bringing new ideas and perspectives. The acting performances are outstanding and the movie's visuals are awesome. While some may criticize the movie for relying too heavily on the formula of the original trilogy, there is no denying that it is a great addition to the Star Wars saga.
This was just too rushed. Characters with boring names and that have all over the place personalities that constantly seem stressed. Kylo is an absolute dork of a character
Again, the destiny of the Galaxy, where more than six million forms of communication exist, is tie to the same family...... That's why Rogue one was refreshing.
And it's silly the planets are enormous but we see only 1 village...
I was bored watching this honestly.
I like it a lot, even though it inspired so many studios to make greatest hits compilation films, most of which aren’t that good.
The reason why I’m letting it pass here is because it feels fresh, it does more than simply rehashing A New Hope.
It puts in the work of creating great new characters, the filmmaking techniques are very different compared to the original trilogy, and they do interesting things with the familiar stuff.
Take the original characters for example, all of them are taken to places that you wouldn’t expect based on the ending of Return of the Jedi.
Having said that, the starkiller base stuff is a bit boring and uninspired, even though there are still many great scenes in the third act.
8/10
Growing up with the OT they'll always have a special place in my heart (especially the Harmy despecialised editions). But to be honest, if I was born in this generation, this is better. It has better and more consistent character development but it still has the original Star Wars feel to it. Even politically, a female main character who's just badass without having to explain why she's strong despite being a woman, the poc in lead roles. I wish, I really do wish, we didn't have to make a big deal out of it but it'll be a while before this is normalised. Oscar Isaac, John Boyega, and Daisy Ridley were a great choice. In the end, I'm just happy with a great movie with some of the best actors of this time.
Not as good as the previous movies tho. Kylo Ren showing his face for the first time, Me: "Why the long face?":rofl:
I still remember when I watched this in the cinema (hard to believe this was a bit more than 5 years ago). Watching the intro in a cinema already felt worth it as this was the first Star Wars movie that I could watch in the cinema and those movies had a big influence on my childhood.
The "jokes" where unexpected but in hindsight they're not that great (apart from calling the Millenium Falcon garbage :D). Unfortunately the overall story wasn't impressive and felt pretty silly (it's basically just another Death Star with another vulnerability and I cannot take the First Order seriously).
But nonetheless I enjoyed it an I'm very glad that they're making new Star Wars movies and TV shows. I'm mainly into it for the fantasy universe (especially the force and ships) and CGI. I also liked Rey (though the british accent is already reason enough for me).
(But tbh I really should downgrade my rating to 9/10 for the Death Star alone...)
I am still so frustrated with the sequels following this movie and how they squandered such a great set up. The chemistry between Han Solo, Finn, and Rey worked great and it was completely forgotten in the next movie. The reunion with Han and Luke would have been great. Instead we are left with a unsatisfying reboot of the franchise. This was a pretty good movie that understood what it wanted to do.
The problem is the new cast are all awful, and this let's feel sorry for the father killing psychopath is hilarious.
I felt exactly the same I did when I saw Episode I (and subsequently episodes II, III, VII, VIII and IX), in this order:
- Excited (logo and titles)
- Expectant (first 15 mins)
- Bored (1 hour)
- Annoyed (1,5 hours)
- Angry (the end)
It's simply ridiculous, maybe not as ridiculous as Episode VIII. A total insult to the original trilogy and canon, as Prequels were.
I still love this movie so much. It surely is very similar story wise to „A New Hope“ but I think it‘s just a delight to watch. New characters are introduced and we get to see beloved characters from the original trilogy again. Also great locations, special effects and the soundtrack is a real treat too.
So much promise, fantastic fantastic relaunch and seventh episode by the master… JJ Abrams. So much promise.
A Star Wars movie OK, not the most perfect but good.
Star Wars fans will certainly not agree with the ending.
These new movies have a problem, they are slowly removing all the classic Star Wars characters, and it seems to have been more interesting with all the classic characters.
The story is a bit weak, Rey is not trained by any Jedi in this movie.
But that sad ending with Solo and Kylo Ren, is much too badly done, it actually doesn't make sense in the Star Wars movie.
Deserves note 8.
That Leia/Rey hug really hit different.
So, so much heart in this one, loved it.
I liked it even better than the previous ones. The plot, the characters and the visual effects. The music is once again brilliant. I was told not to watch the new trilogy because it wasn't good but I'm glad I didn't listen.
Third watch and still only a 6....sigh.
Star Wars: The Force Awakens, a direct sequel to the original Star Wars trilogy, revitalizes the franchise, delivering an exciting and action-packed space adventure. In the wake of the disappearance of Luke Skywalker, the last Jedi Knight, two rival factions, the Resistance and the First Order, chase after a driod that contains a map to Skywalker's secret location. The plot is quite similar to that of the first Star Wars; changing out the Death Star plans for a map, Darth Vader for Kylo Ren, and a naïve farm boy for a scavenger. Yet it still has its own style and tone that both homages the original trilogy and does its own thing. Additionally, newcomer Daisy Ridley has great screen presence and gives a strong performance. Also, the special effects are incredibly well-done, as are the sets and costumes. With Star Wars: The Force Awakens, J.J. Abrams has returned the series back to its roots.
I liked this movie quite a bit when it came out. However even then I was very nervous about the future because the potential of this film and it’s true quality depended on the pay off in the next film. The next film absolutely destroyed the whole point and plot of this film and in itself was a horrible follow up to a trilogy that is supposed to have continuity. I honestly think the creator (I won’t say his name or the name of that) of the next film truly wanted to destroy the franchise. I can’t imagine why you would ignore every significant plot point of The Force Awakens and kill the main villain and ruin one of the greatest heroes in the history of cinema history. It invalidated both the first film and entire sequel trilogy. There was potential here and the Force awakens could have been a 10/10 rating, but that’s not the case. Disney should be ashamed of themselves
Disney and JJ Abrams swing hard in their effort to repair the damage done by Episodes I-III, ultimately coming back with mixed results. Spiritually it's dead-on, a loving tribute to the original trilogy that's a stylistic and thematic clone (with several not-so-subtly borrowed plot points) that makes for great fan service. Few cinematic properties have the rich, sprawling mythos of the Star Wars universe, and Episode VII is wise to draw from that at every turn. Those shared past experiences with familiar characters, settings and devices go a long way; without six films' worth of enhancement to help prop it up, this is just an average sci-fi picture.
Wonderfully produced, with long, regular opportunities to appreciate the efforts of its all-world concept artists, somewhere the steep sense of scale was lost. It's a rather thin movie, all told, one that feels decidedly less sweeping and grandiose than its precursors. Less of a space opera than an interplanetary sonnet.
The new cast members seem deep and interesting, so there's plenty of hope for future installments, but it's a little unsettling that Harrison Ford so thoroughly outshines them all. It's nice to see the rest of the old gang again, even if Carrie Fisher completely phones her performance in, but Ford is the film's heart and soul. Somewhere in the next installment, those new characters are going to need to step out of his shadow and carry things on their own.
A promising step forward, teasing some intriguing potential directions for the rest of the new trilogy, but lacking a lot of the invariables that made A New Hope and Empire the timeless classics that they remain today. Much better than the prequels, in any case.
3 Thoughts After Watching ‘Star Wars: The Force Awakens’:
New SW keep the climate of the first SW (action) and derive what is good from the second SW (story and depth). I think it could be a good new beginning… ;>
"A tender homage to, especially, the initial Star Wars."
The Five Faces of STAR WARS: THE FORCE AWAKENS
:heart_eyes:
The stakes in this film are high from the very start. Everything looks and feels bigger, but visually the film stays true to the original trilogy.
Wonderdul to once again hear John Williams' classic score, combined with equally epic new tunes.
The world around the characters - planets new and old - feels a whole lot more alive than ever before.
The use of practical effects and models is admiring and gives the film a realistic touch. CGI is used smartly and only where necessary.
Harrison Ford returning as Han Solo is pure gold. He's as grumpy, devious and funny as always. His scenes with Joonas Suotamo's Chewbacca are the greatest part of the the film.
The final lightsaber duel is one of the most epic snd memorable ones in the series, even if it feels unrealistic and perhaps a bit too big at this point.
:smiley:
Daisy Ridley truly personifies Rey as a heroine for a new generation. She has the makings of an iconic character and easily carries the film forward. She is a strong female character that suits Ridley perfectly.
The film combines the best parts of the original and new trilogies, while effectively broadening the mythos created by George Lucas.
The main characters have different backgrounds and characteristics. They complement each other and make for a satisfying pool of personas.
Ford and Carrie Fisher are truly wonderful together and it's a shame we can't enjoy their shared adventures in subsequent films.
The pacing is fine, with the feel of adventure being strong. The film feels larger in scale compared to the previous entries.
:neutral_face:
Rey's road from zero to hero is unrealistically fast as she masters the Force almost perfectly by the end of the film. It just feels too fast to be believable. She goes from someone who doesn't believe in the Force to jedi master in no time.
There's a lot going on all the time, with almost every action scene being an epic action piece. There's very little breathing space or miniscule moments.
While definitely iconic and memorable, the Millennium Falcon chase on Jakku almost feels like too much of a good thing.
The Rancar sequence feels superfluous and could have been left on the cutting room floor.
The film fails to explain how the galaxy once again has an evil movement rising and why.
General Hux and captain Phasma feel like extra characters who mainly sound and look villainous without actually getting much evil done. Phasma in particular is pretty useless.
Loads of plot holes and inconsistencies make the film more rough around the edges, but don't massively ruin the experience.
:frowning2:
Kylo Ren goes from vicious Darth Vader copy to whining, emo teenager wannabe sith and loses all credibility. He's not the worst villain of the series but he's annoying as hell.
I don't know whether it was intended, but the plot copies A New Hope almost exactly, with differences in details, settings and characters. It's easy to figure out the progression of the plot beforehand since it copies the first film.
:face_vomiting:
//
The Final Face: :smiley: // Good
Netflix puts up The Force Awakens, I assume, in honour of Carrie Fishers passing. I never saw the 'prequels' in some attempt to not taint my teenage impressions of the original Star Wars movies but this sequel was good. Much better then I assumed it would be. It kept me on my seat with an engaging story all the way through. Who knows I may go back now. Maybe.
Quite simply the best of a long line of best movies!
Star Wars the force awakens
saw it in cinema and it was almost glad I spent the money but rey and kilo ren are just awfull (both the characters and the acting) ; star wars worlds depictions is very good and I hope they don't skip on the budget for further movies.

This movie is little more than a rehash of the original trilogy. Plot points are beat for beat recreations of scenes in the originals, except when they're trying to "fix" things that they wanted to have happen in the series years ago. Boyega overacts throughout the entire movie.
It's not bad though. In fact, I like it more after watching 'The Last Jedi'. Poe and Rey were both great (especially Poe), and the flight scenes were exhilarating. Compared to its sequel, it's far more focused. The movie's biggest problem is that it lacks passion. Most of it feels like it was made by a committee instead of someone who actually has something to say.
Sure, the movie is entertaining, but so were the older movies that this takes from. When this does little more than retread old ground, can it really be rated any higher?
The film seems a bit unstructured and chaotic to me, but I almost cried when Han Solo returned to Millenium Falcon though I am not a huge Star Wars fan, rather a casual watcher.
Ok one can watch the film... it has great special effects... Obviously all the crazy fans can watch the same film again and again, but this just looks like an updated version of the original trilogy... Please can we have a new storyline...
So this is how you water-down and milk Star Wars... While things like the obvious racial and gender pandering are cheap tricks and it's a bit lazy for mostly just being a retread of New Hope, it's still a blast. Very entertaining sci-fi adventure.
The good:
- The beginning as always in star wars was superb
- The final light saber fight between Ray and Kylo in the snow
- The new characters, pretty original a Stormtropper protagonist and very refreshing a heroine instead a man
- Continuity to visual aspect from original trilogy
The bad:
- The story is not very original, there are a lot of similarities to original trilogy, specially with episode IV. This aspect is well received in the visual but not in the plot building.
- All related with this first order, I don't buy it. It seems that everything was put to be similar to original trilogy, but it is not well justified.
- The humor sometimes worked, but most of the times I felt it a little forced.
- New characters development was a little rush.
It was ok, however, I couldn't get over the Disney-fication of the movie... Kylo Ren looks like goofy, absolutely not menacing or scary... just a spoiled, weird teenager that kills his father for no reason... The rest of the plot absolutely made no sense either.. how did Rey and Fnn manage to master the force/lightsaber so quickly?
I thought it was boring but I was wrong. it was cool. thank you for now wasting my time and thank you jas for sharing the file. Hahaha. may the force be with you?
Disney has run ruined the star wars franchise....no real story and bowing down to the PC crowd by using a female for the main role,etc......
Only good thing in the movie was seeing the original characters.... 5/10. Let's hope the next ones better
Finn gets shocked when a fellow trooper die in front o him and do not want to kill the people of that village, but it's just fine with blasting dozens of his fellows troopers to escape with Poe.
What really turns me off about this movie is that the few potentially interesting characters that get introduced are sidelined for the sake of focusing on probably one of the most boring female protagonists that's ever been written, and a boring edgelord antagonist. Rey has no personality outside of being good at everything and being passive aggressive when any male character asks her if she's okay. I couldn't bring myself to care about her and it definitely impacted my overall enjoyment of the movie, but even when she wasn't shitting it up there really isn't enough to care about to compel me to watch any more of these. The soundtrack also leaves much to be desired, almost as if John Williams also felt that this movie was a completely unnecessary cashgrab and put as little effort into the OST as possible.
82% is a little high. I enjoyed it for what it was which is a one off experience. Maybe a watch in a few years. The only emotion I felt was due to liking the old movies and nothing to do with the new one. It plays on the old star wars and isnt brave enough to be original. Poe is an obvious Solo rip off. The movie is full of old Star Wars ideas that have been done already. It doesnt really bother me as long as its well made and it is. The action and cinematography were good. I didn't mind Kylo being weak as many did as I'm sure it's part of his character development and he'll come back stronger. But yeah he was trained by skywalker yet is so weak. That could have been different. Seemed like an opportunity just to stuff some connection to skywalker in for the later episode but it wasn't thought out properly in the overall picture. They know fans go over this stuff with a fine tooth comb. The humour bits felt new but out of placertain sometimes. I'd rather have some suspense leading up to an action sequence instead of humour leading to action. The movie is a 6 but polished upto a 7 thanks to the budget.
A re-imagined version of A New Hope, still good though. But I hope they develop the story in the next movies.
I barely had the interest in handing it a 4 hearts rating..If the older characters were not present this movie would have been about NOTHING, starring nothing.. Costumes are weak as hell.. and they basically stretched out a very simple unimaginative storyline for 2 hours. Completely exploiting the first one along the way. Abrams is not what the media make him out to be..
can do more better but they keep for next one.
The first Star Wars movie where the "Dark Side" wasn't at all impressive. Also I hope they bring a bit more story in the next one, instead of just copying basically every famous scene from the previous movies.
But all in all I admire Disney for pushing the franchise, as George Lucas just hardly made the effort. We're already getting another spin-off movie this year and also the whole setting fits mucht better to the movies 4-6 than 1-3 ever will.
Nothing new, disappointing but I love the saga....so a sentimental 7.
This movie is essentially a remake of the original star wars. Yes, there are new characters. And yes, the story of the old characters is updated. But the main themes and troops of this movie repeat the old themes and troops. There a young one in whom The Force is strong, but who knows nothing of this, until SHE is thrown into epic events of galactic proportion. And there are evil men in whom the dark side of the force is strong.
I guess the shocking part in the movie is the identity of the super villains: the son of Hans Solo and Princess Leah --- the successor of his grandfather, Darth Vader ---, who serves Supreme Leader Snooke, the most talented student of Luke Skywalker, and whom has now turned to the Dark Side of the force. I suppose that this is not as unexpected as it might at first appear. After all, the original trilogy pitted son against father. So in this new trilogy --- of which this is the beginning --- a son kills a father, this time in the service of evil rather than good.
Yes, Hans Solo is killed when he tries to bring back his son from the self-embraced darkness.
And Luke Skywalker only shows up at the very end, when the young gifted one (who may or may not be family --- the hints are tantalizing!) symbolically asks for training: apparently Luke had retired from the universe in despair as a response to the actions of his nephew and his best student. Perhaps he never intended to train anyone ever again --- turning his back on The Force. But like The Godfather in Part III, whatsoever his own wishes might be, he is pulled back in, at the very last scene of this movie.
The plot is good --- but familiar.
looks great in 4k brill movie
I thought the movie was a complete waste.my daughter could have come up with a better premice.
HE should't have to die...
Nothing over exciting. Just a fantasy with elements of comedy. Even Ford didn't help.
Adam Driver is the weakest link, other than that the movie was great.
Brilliant film to watch in your own home cinema room. www.thehomecinemacompany.co.uk, if your looking for to expand your home and are looking to add panache, just give us a call and we will be more then happy to help you with your project.
I think this was a piss poor continuation of the "Original" star wars.. They ripped off the same exact plot, the same exact scenes, the same exact everything. Oh we have CGI now so lets just use it everywhere for everything.. This episode used ZERO creativity and left me with an absolute horrible taste in my mouth for both Disney and a man i thought highly of J. J. Abrams. For hard core star wars fans like myself to hype this and end with such a disgrace and disrespect to something George Lucas made history with ??? Disgusted with how this was just a money grabbing endeavour.. that is by far the worst Star Wars Episode ever... It will NEVER sit on the same shelf with the rest of the great Star Wars Box Set... pffffffffft glad i didn't pay a dime and downloaded this piece of shit rendition and really? Carrie Fisher had a movie coming up and she didn't really care what she looked like? And how do you just off Han Solo like that... sorry folks... absolutely disgusted with this.
A film without a beginning, and without an end.
First time I watched it in the cinemas it was amazing, it glued me to the screen and honestly one of the greatest movies in the trilogies.
Would watch again.
Nothing really new, a script not very surprising, mostly a mix between some of the previous ones. Nice to see H. Ford back to the source, the rest of the casting is quite good except for Kylo Ren, as soon as he removes his mask he look so stupid. A caricature of the villain. In the end a nice entertainment nothing more. But what could you expect from Disney...
mindless fun. and eye candy and nothing more. poorly written and weak cast.yes, it´s better than the 1st 3 movies but its not even close to te 1st trilogy.
Also i dont get the hype with this Daisy chick. Not really that cute and missing a bit ... well, talent. i do hope she´s not the next tomb raider like some news say....
I've only seen about half of the movie it's awesome so far. .
BEST Star Wars movie ever but I hated when Han Solo died and really everybody knows that Luke is Raes father look at the helmet she puts on #ShiftvW8
The Force Awakens is The Worst Thing That Has Ever Happened In The History of Сinema.
So, it's like a remake of the old ones...
This is a masked reboot of the original, made for millenials, too lazy to see the original trilogy. Same story: a droid hides something secret, the bad ones are chasing it, the droid falls on a desert planet, someone takes it and so on. There's also a Death Star with the same flaws. Can you believe it? The bad guys are making the same mistakes a couple of years after the Empire.
JJ Abrams is a clever guy, he uses quite wisely the old characters (expecially Solo, he is THE character in this movie) and the new ones are quite good, but - like the original - it follows literally Campbell's "Journey of the hero". Too literally. Technically, he is extremely faithful to the original, he obviously felt the urgent need of not diasappointing the old fans (again).
Kylo Ren is the worst villain ever: masked is perfect, unmasked is only a stupid adolescent. Why is he so angry to his father? We'll never know.
Ho hum. Really... I saw two star wars in the late 70's early 80's, and that was pretty exciting at the time... but this is something that would appeal mainly to people who are already great fans. I found it highly predictable and not very interesting. Mad Max was far more exciting as it was more of a spectacle and less like a futuristic soap opera.
Good, but not brilliant. It has too many similarities of the first trilogy so far. Its as if Disney was scared people would crucify them and label it worse then the prequels. Then decided to remake "A new hope" instead, with a few new pointless plot points added here and there...
I saw this tonight in 3d and XD. While I did enjoy the movie ultimately it felt like the same old same old. I know it's been mentioned a couple times around here that it was basically the same plot as A New Hope, this is accurate although a little simple. Ultimately it felt like every other star wars movie, a lot of meaningless action and the exact same plot every time. I did like the characters, and the acting has definitely improved since the last batch of movies (although Carrie Fischer still reminds me of a dead fish). I give 6/10, because it's pretty much exactly what I expected, basic plot with a lot of action. It's a fun movie but don't expect much more.
I had to put this in a separate message because the other contained spoilers. I would give this movie a 8.5/10
This is one of the best star wars movies yet. I cant wait for the next two though. I really want to know what happens to finn as he is probably my favourite character. Rumours that he might become a jedi knight. I pretty annoyed at the fact that han solo has died. Hi m and chewie were like the ultimate duo. Unless it's true that he has not actually died because he is immortal, then I'm pretty annoyed.
I have so much to say.......... Anyway everything was great. If you're a fan of the old trilogy (ies, but no one likes the prequels, lets be honest) then you're going to love the throwbacks - unless you're expecting something new. This is not something new. If anything it's a way of bringing the old into a new generation. Personally I loved it, and you'll enjoy this film even if you haven't watch the old ones.
(side note) as said I personally loved the throwbacks both in term of plot, old characters, and the transitions. However I was also extremely happy for the costumes. It's nice to see new costumes that are still iconic and make the characters easily recognisable!
Awesome! The whole theater got emotional and cheered many times!
No Mara Jade,but really awesome
Star Wars 7: the remake of episode 4. Yes it was entertaining but story wise unoriginal.
Well it doesn't suck.
Managing not to see the trailer helped make it a more enjoyable experience as it was completely fresh to me.
More of the same, just with cutting edge special effects that didn't look cartoonish.
Hopefully the next installment will have a really original & fresh storyline now the new guard have kept the fan boys happy.
can not wait, I have been waiting for this movie for about 7 years.

just got done watching this one and was its actually a good movie
