It delivers what it promises

Rating: 10/10 (26 February 2011)

Flash back to 1978, yours truly a young 14 year old walks out the cinema awe struck. Star Wars had that kind of impact back then and I got the same feeling from Avatar even as a middle aged man now whom has seen lots of good pictures in between.
So some call the storyline predictable, I would say it is just right. There is pace, action and it never gets boring (like for example the overcomplicated, pretentious, nonsense called Matrix Revolutions).
I thought two and a half hours, wearing 3D glasses would be tiring but it wasn't. I was expecting an exiting time and thats exactly what I got.
To summarize, it delivers what it promised and this is no small feat these days. It may very well be the (original trilogy) Star Wars of the 21st century.
