... View MoreWhen Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens opened in cinemas in December 2015, I thought that this was beginning of another great trilogy set of movies.JJ Abrams has never failed to deliver a brilliant movie, look at his movie CV which started off with Mission: Impossible III, Star Trek, Super 8 and Star Trek: Into Darkness, it was only logical (pardon the pun) that a director like JJ should direct The Force Awakens and he didn't fail at all, I loved The Force Awakens but I don't think Han should have been killed off as it would have been great to see Luke, Han and Leia all on the same screen.The new characters pretty much held their own as well and I was impressed with Rey, Cameron Poe and Finn and overall, I definitely think that The Force Awakens deserve it's nine star rating that I have given it.I just wish I could have had nicer things to say about the Last Jedi which slipped down in the ratings and I berated Rian Johnson for his terrible script and direction...Lucasfilm definitely need to do more checking on future film directors and not let someone who has only directed a student movie and a feature film movie (Looper - 2012) come in and almost totally destroy the Star Wars franchise.I just that JJ can work his magic again and save Episode IX, I have heard that time travel is one of the possible plotlines where the Millenium Falcon goes back in time but we will all have to wait and see what happens when Episode IX arrives at the cinemas in December 2019.
... View MoreWe finally got to watch this fabulous, marvellos, fantastic film. MCU. It is by Mr Disney and Mr Abrams very kind and ncie geniuses. It was funny it was fabulous it was marvellos and we finally saw it because until now every time we go to theatre it is sold out completely and utterly with no chance of tickets. Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens (2015) is a riot of laughter and full of wars in the stars.
... View MoreIt is repetitive, reheated and made on a conveyor belt. Additionally, all the fat ugly people are standing in line or are at the drive-thru. All the beautiful and smart people are elsewhere (non-sequeled movies). I hope Disney enjoys the billions it made from stupid people watching the death star with the same flaw as the old models blow up again.
... View MoreI was a little hesitant to write this review. After all, it's not as if I'd be likely to say anything that hasn't already been said. I suppose I might be able to contribute something by commenting on Force Awakens in a post- Last Jedi context. I didn't think that this deserved all of the praise that it initially got. It was all of what we like about Star Wars in moderate amounts, but nothing spectacular. The Force was used almost shamelessly as a plot device here, which is at least one thing I think you can say that the Last Jedi did better since the Force is actually a point of conflict and debate. Overall, I would summarize it with this: Force Awakens didn't do anything especially wrong, but didn't have anything exceptionally good about it, while Last Jedi had some major flaws alongside some of the most amazing moments in any Star Wars movie.I'm trying to think of more things to say about this movie that won't sound totally redundant. I'm excited to dish out ten bucks to see Episode 9, but not for the anthologies. All things considered, Force Awakens did what it needed to and ensured that this generation of kids will also be obsessed with Star Wars. Overall Rating: 7.8/10
