It's finally here! Hardcore nerds such as myself have waited so long to see Star Wars hit the big screen once again. While the prequels are part of the Star Wars franchise, they do not capture the true essence of what Star Wars actually in. So let's dive into a review!!!
Complaints:
Only a few minor complaints but still some nonetheless.
- Misuse of a character: I can't go too much into detail here but I felt as though the development of a certain character was not well done. It could have been utilized in a much better way (will go into more detail in a spoiler review).
- Character interactions: There was a particular scene in particular where the characters' interaction bothered me. I felt they threw too much too soon and should have paced it out a little more.
There will be more in-depth complaints in the spoiler review so keep you're eye out for it after you've seen the film
Approvals:
Lots of approvals on this one
- Stands alone as a film: JJ Abrams perfectly combines that nostalgia from the original and puts his own mark on this film. Really well done.
- Cinematography: Really well done continues shots and rack focuses. Often times you'll find places where a cut would have been appropriate but he continues the shot that'll mesmerize the audience.
- Good introduction to the new characters: They introduced and got us engaged very well with these new characters. I particularly loved Rey, Poe, and BB-8. I really excited to see the direction they take with these characters in future films.
- Those old characters still kickass: Han Solo and Chewbacca are the best dynamic duo in the business. Nuff said.
It's hard for me to get into the nitty/gritty details without revealing spoilers so I hope this at least did the job to spark your interest. Overall this is very fun film that introduces us to the future of Star Wars and sets up perfectly for future films.
8.5 out of 10
