Star Wars Episode VII review (semi-spoilers)
By: Lumaria Date: December 25, 2015, 11:19 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
So i finally got to see this movie...What did i think? It was
pretty good. It wasn't the greatest movie of the year. We've had
far better (Creed)
One of the things that Star Wars does is throw you into the
middle of the story and then you quickly catch on. SW:TFA does
something similar, but it felt far more rushed than the others
because it showed us everything we need to know and didn't give
us enough to enjoy what we were seeing.
Two main characters, Ray and Fin. These characters are really
interesting. They are different (yet similar) than what we come
to see from the SW series. I wont mention the differences, but i
will mention this: There will be moments where you will compare
both characters to Luke Skywalker and Han Solo. I even came to
believe that one of the main characters had more of Han
Solo/Luke Skywalker, and the other had some of the smaller
attributes that most people didn't pay attention to.
The Antagonist wasn't all that interesting to me. And yet, we
got another Boba-fett like character. Which was a character that
just looked cool, and then gets easily defeated.
All this movie does is play homage to Star Wars original
trilogy, . Of course there will be one deus ex machina and it'll
probably be so apparent, but fans will come in awe and eat it
up.
I will say i recommend this for a die-hard fan who believes that
the original trilogy is timeless. But if you were looking for
something completely new, and something fresh that you wanted to
awaken inside you, you wont get much.
Honestly, its designed for a sequel. Its not bad, but it just
didn't make me feel like this was the "new" SW. it felt like the
director tried far too hard to resemble the old SW.
The ending however, (and this is for me) i felt that it had
something left to be desired. Its aain made for die hard fans,
and the will eat it up, and i almost did, but when the credits
came up, i realized they could do more. And this is again
another homage to SW (probably indirectly) where he credits come
up in a moment where it left wanting more up until the end of
the trilogy (3, 6, etc).
I'm honestly going to give it an 8/10 because it was at least
entertaining. It just felt like a reboot more than a sequel.
But what did you think? Did you feel like my review is fair?

I saw it opening day. Yeah I see what you mean. But I really
liked Poe Cameron despite not seeing enough of him. I hope he
has a more prominent role.
But can't wait for star wars the [s]empire[/s] first order
strikes back.

I also liked him. He is getting a lot of buzz around the
internet. I like the joke you did there.
I saw it a second time, i wasn't as disappointed, but as i leave
theaters, people echo the same things i have. I just can't get
over the ending though.

Yeah, I definitely enjoyed it a good bit even though it had its
fair share of problems.
There's an interesting interview with J.J. Abrams on the
similarities between Episode VII and Episode IV.

Shows that he definitely put a good amount of thought into what
he was doing (beyond just pleasing fans), even though there were
some imitation elements that I felt fell short.
The movie was definitely rushed as far as pacing. That's a J.J.
Abrams thing. He seems to be a bit too afraid that the viewer is
going to get bored. Still, I think TFA is the best thing that
I've seen by him.
