For my first movie back figured I'd jump on the Star Wars band wagon. For the record I've seen this movie 6 times in theater on IMAX 3D, 3D, and standard versions. So to say that this review might lean to one side would be an understatement.
THE GOOD
Come on it's Star Wars! How could you not enjoy this movie. Unless you have no idea who those characters on the poster above are. Then you probably didn't care for this movie. If your a fan of Star Wars I don't know how you didn't like this movie. You get the best of both worlds you get your old school characters we love and get some new characters that move the story forward. Oh and lightsaber fights. Who doesn't want more lightsaber fights? Lets be honest who didn't get goosebumps when Rey pulled the lightsaber from the snow and that brilliant John William's score begins. There were plenty of scenes like this. Also this movie is visually well done. It felt like where they could they went practical and that was really seen when watching the movie. I don't feel I need to go further on this one. I could but you'd be reading all evening.
THE BAD
If you were looking for an original story.. your going to be sadly disappointed. It in essence was a Star Wars greatest hits. There was a Death Star blowing up although they make sure its clear that's not what it is. Were finding a Jedi that's disappeared. There's a trench run. Now I liked these things. Part of me wanted these things. So for me I was okay with this story for some though it may not be different enough. Other then this I've got nothing. I warned this was going to be one sided.
THE CONCLUSION
If you want a fun popcorn movie. This is your movie. If you wanted a Star Wars fan film. This is your movie. If you have no idea what Star Wars is.. It's still your movie. I guess what I'm saying is just go see the movie.
9 out of 10 Vogies <--- I have no idea what those are but everybody has a rating system.
