[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7689225, member: 6803664"] Hmm. I guess my overall rating for this Episode would be: Entertaining. About a C+. (It loses major points for being Episode IV, Redux.) Seriously, if I hadn't seen the original? This would've been pretty good. Alas.... The good: * Practical effects * I liked Rey, Finn, & Po. And BB8 to an extent. * Harrison Ford. The bad: * I've been watching Episode 4 & versions of it for almost 40 years already. * Kyle Ren - Well, for the moment he's better than Anikin. But he's still in the catagory of Who-Cares, Kill him off & bring in an interesting villain. * Third act is completely pointless. The good guys know where the target is. Know how to bypass the shields. And instead of hitting the capacitor with entire droid crewed ships popping out of warp just above it (just crash into it at near LS)? Opt to send in just 3 people with charges, followed by an x-wing strike - that is 100% reliant upon that shield coming down & virtually gauanteed to cost apparently scarce resources (pilots/ships). And this plan is devised/aurhorized by the vets who've done this all before. ??? At the very least send in more ground commandos aboard the Falcon! (They did it in Jedi!) * Alot of time could be saved if they'd just rebooted R2.... * A scattered map leading to Luke? Why?? Well, I guess that could be the thread for episodes 8 & 9. Go here, go there, encounter bad guys, etc. But they wrap that up right before the credits roll with a simple jump to lightspeed. * The good guys are the "resistance" & seem to have limited resources. WHY? As in why isn't the Republic itself fighting against the 1st order? Yes, I realize some of that would make for a dull movie. [/QUOTE]
