rmanx Posted December 15, 2016 Share Posted December 15, 2016 Yep, just goes to show that Lucas was a lucky hack and that the franchise is still safe as houses under the House of Mouse. Some clever "cameo" appearances. Top notch action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rmanx Posted December 19, 2016 Author Share Posted December 19, 2016 Read a review from a "professional" reviewer: "This film is too gritty. It feels too much like a war film. Not once have they referenced a war in this series..." I stopped there and didn't read any further. If you're going to have someone write a review for a film that is part of a multi-billion dollar franchise enjoyed by millions and millions of fans...at least do a little research...war is referenced in the friggin title!!!

Rhumsaa Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 I really enjoyed it. The start jumped around awkwardly and I was left with a bad feeling but the rest of the film was excellent. Definitely one worthy of the original trilogy and I loved the mix of original unused film and CGI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Old Git Posted December 23, 2016 Share Posted December 23, 2016 Saw it in IMAX 3D in London. Don't really know the whole story and thought the film was rubbish. Probably great if you're a fan but as a stand alone film it was full of cliches arse numbing boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rhumsaa Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 probably fair comment - I enjoyed all the nods to the other films and continuity within the universe which might have glazed my view still a great star wars film for me though, top 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chinahand Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Enjoyed it. Though it's a bit bleak ... more war film than space opera and basically without the comedic intervals of the first movies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmanx Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 Enjoyed it. Though it's a bit bleak ... more war film than space opera and basically without the comedic intervals of the first movies. That was the whole point. To show the bleak chances of the Rebellion against the massive war machine of the Empire. A lot of "fans" are getting annoyed that this isn't just another episode in the Skywalker clans family dramas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheTeapot Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 Watched it. Enjoyed it. Vader kicking ass towards the end was pretty cool. Think they did a good job of tying it into the original, I suppose it helped the makers that they already knew that they could kill everyone.

Bobbie Bobster Posted January 8, 2017 Share Posted January 8, 2017 It was alright. Better than Ep VII, but that's not saying much.Felt constrained by having to shoe-horn itself into the gap left by the main series. Rewrites and reshoots were evident in the third act. The story would have been much improved if one of the gang survived; although it feels as if the producers wanted to get rid of them all so they need not think of them again.
