The Force Awakens Review Thread

So, quick and simple review poll. Tell us what you'd give it as a score, and add a bit below in your post if you want.

Spoilers in the prefix because anyone reviewing it has obviously seen it!

For me, I'll give it a 5. It's just what I wanted from a Star Wars movie.

5 - Leaving the theater I was euphoric. My friends and family loved it as well. Was it perfect? Nah. But it will always be a 5/5 in my heart.

There were some things bugging me through the film, they were kind of "why" moments for me, yet it's still one of my favorites.

I loved it. The movie did an amazing job feeling like the originals, and when the Millennium Falcon made it's appearance, I almost cried. They played that off perfectly. Even though Rey learned how to control the force a tad bit faster than anticipated, the movie was kick ass none the less.

My only complaint was Snoke's name does not really inspire big baddie to me

4/5 - A few of the unexplained DLC (sequel) hooks has me annoyed that technical microtransactions are seeping into even my movie experience.

5/5 for me. There was nothing but real heart up there from JJ and the team for what Star Wars is all about - blending old and new for this generation and the ones before it. Bright, visually stunning and very exciting.

Nothing dull or drab or "gritty" about it - just a great story, super cast and thrilling action which is just what we needed in the franchise and in the world itself to escape from.

Brilliant.

 

[Harmon Tardai]

I give it a perfect score, 5/7

 

[Marcus Itera]

4/5 from me.

The only real issue was Rey. I loved her as a character but she grew extremely strong extremely quickly. Of course she knows her way with that metallic pipe she toted around for half the movie, but her beating Kylo Ren in that duel was a bit much. It's like having an untrained Padawan defeat the Emperor's Wrath all on her own.

Everything else was amazing, though. The Han and Leia moments, the banter from Chewbacca, and the quirky little moments from Finn and Rey.

"Is there a garbage chute anywhere near here? With a trash compactor?"
"Yeah there is."

Possibly my favorite line right there.

Kylo had been shot through the side by a boltcaster at this point if that makes you feel better.

Maybe Rey was a Jedi from the start and "Forgot"

Plus Kylo Ren was kinda weak to begin with. I saw him as a low knight or high acolyte, WHich i really liked.

Chewys bowcaster to the side... owy
Saber strike from Fin WHO WAS A NORMAL PERSON! I love it! NFU WOOP DAT BOOTY.

 

[Tellos]

I enjoyed it, and yeah blasted in side and fighting with two people kinda makes Kylo weak I imagine compared to what he'd normally be. Also Fin was a trained soldier so he wasint a complete wuss.

 

[Valiens Nantaris]

I do like however that Finn got beat up both times he used the lightsabre. So yes, an NFU can use one, but without training they're no match for a melee specialist.

 

[Siobhan Kerrigan]

I'd give it 3 out of 5.

 

[Coren Starchaser]

Third time around? Still perfection.
