The ending was the best

Not in my opinion.
But it is a very good SW movie.
Its getting tough for me honestly. I really liked ESB, ROTS, RO, TFA very closely to each other. Awesome SW lore, fights, characters, etc. Next wave would be ANH, RTJ then followed by TCW and TPM.
The first half of the movie is too disjointed and that hurts overall character development because the first half of the movie is kinda wasted for character development in that sense.
The score is also the worst in a Star Wars film.
But it has higher highs than The Force Awakens and it's better than the extra cheesy prequels.
I'd say The Force Awakens is the more "even" film. It's also a war movie so it's "feel" is different from regular Star Wars.
My personal ranking is
Empire > Jedi > A New Hope > Force Awakens > Rogue One > Revenge of the Sith > Phantom Menace > Donnie & Marie Star Wars Special > Attack of the Clones.
Well made and entertaining but lacking compelling characters. Also thought it was gonna be a bit different but the final act was pretty much typical Star Wars shenanigans i.e. A *spoiler* land assault, a space assault, and some characters running around inside a military compound with lotsa deep shafts all occurring simultaneously...I'm surprised they didn't think of a way to throw in a light sabre battle into the mix but guess that woulda been too much. Liked it a lot despite all that but if the next few Star Wars movies Disney produce (episodes and standalone/tie in movies) follow the standard sw formula too closely I worry I'm gonna start finding things a little tedious. And this is from a life long Star Wars fan...I'm guessing it's a deliberate tactic on Disney/Lucas films part i.e. Recreate a nostalgic feeling. Send the message out that these new films are the Star Wars you know and love for a few films then (hopefully) take things in a different direction.
| DevilRising said: It is absolutely a better movie, MUCH better, than crappy/lazy/nostalgia-cash-in Ep. VII. But that isn't say a WHOLE hell of a lot. Is it up there with the original trilogy? Not even close. They really didn't give you much with the plethora of characters, you don't really get to know them, or grow to care about them. They're just there, they're "rebels", and they steal some plans for the Death Star. We had to already know they would all SPOILERS by the end of the film. Donnie Yen was great in his role, for what it was. But the film was very light on character. Jyn was a better character than Rey, if nothing else by virtue of the fact that she actually HAS a character. She isn't perfect, she doesn't do everything herself, she actually needs and accepts HELP at points in the story. She is flawed and real. I'll give her that. She was just kinda lifeless and wooden. Rey had plenty of life, but was, in every true sense of the word, a "Mary Sue". That isn't Rey's fault. It's the fault of the idiots who re-wrote her, and decided it was more important to make her an almost zero-substance, zero-backstory feminist avatar, instead of giving us a real, human, flawed character to care about. I'm certain that, for his faults, Lucas' ORIGINAL story treatment for Ep. VII, treated the character of Rey with a lot more respect, and she probably WASN'T a Mary Sue at all. There also probably wasn't another Death Star, nor all the stupid "nostalgia button" moments. |
It's fairly obvious to me anyway that Rey is Luke Skywalker's daughter or a Skywalker.
It's also obvious something "awakens" inside of her hence the "Force Awakens" (not the "Force Goes Training"). Not sure but it seems to me like her memory was erased.
A 9-year-old Anakin Skywalker being able to race pods when no other human can do it with zero Force training is honestly a little more unbeleivable. At least with Rey it's entirely possibly she was trained/imbued with the Force as a young child.
Luke also being able to outpilot Darth Vader after just a 10 minute Force training excercise also seems like a bit much.
I feel Empire is still the best.
I also personally didn't care too much for Rogue One. Not enough Jedi.

3rd best, after ESB and ANH. TFA is close imo, because it's a more even flm than RO. But that second RO half was memorable.
Thought it was pretty boring to be honest. Mads Mikkelsen was great though. Any fan of his should see The Salvation.
