You guys are being way to hard on this film. There where only two real issues I saw and both of them involve Rey magically getting the force. Its the best movie I saw this year, although I think Guardians of the Galaxy was better, slightly, and it was much better Avatar. To be honest its the same with the prequels. So many people look at every single flaw and delcare it a bad movie and worse the originals(becuase of its few flaws). While at the same time ignoring the plot holes in the originals(most of which have been patched by comics or books after the event). Now is the Prequels equal to the originals… Debatable however if the originals where as picked as the prequels we would all hate star wars.(remember Star Wars grew in popularity alot after each Prequel film was released. Most people loved it and some still do, that is the sign of good film making)
However the originals are hardly a ten for story… Maybe not even an 8. Leia was a weak character(aka the princess from Mario), Han Solo and Ben carried the rest of the cast. You guys are pointing out that this new movie is the same as the originals in terms of story… Yes well I agree it is, but I also think it is overall, much better done the originals.
-It has by far better action scenes.
-I relate to more characters in this one and I think overall they are less steorotypical.
Some of you state Rey is a bland character, yet in this one movie she has had more character progression in any character in the originals.(in a single film)
kylo ren is by far the best villian in terms of character design from a single Star Wars film. Saying that he is a massive pu**y(i’m sorry darth vader really wasn’t that great of a villian tell the 2nd and it wasn’t until I saw the 3rd that I really cared about him)
-Music is the same, absolutly brilliant.
-It has so many fan nods its rediculas.(which btw I love) Even if you like the EU you should still see a few nods from the EA… hint… ‘BEN SOLO’… ‘EVIL SON OF SOLO’… ‘SUPER WEAPONS THAT CAN FIRE INTO HYPERSPACE’… ‘REVENS MASK’… i’m sure there are even more. (the knights of Ren remind me of the Lost Sith Tribe and Kotor sith combined)
-There are many plot holes, but so what? Its a fantasy childrens movie set in space… Not some simulation of real life and even the best films have many plot holes.
