A New Hope?

Rating: 7/10 (23 December 2016)

Now, I'm gonna go out and say: this is not as good as 4-6, but definitely an improvement over 7. The story was enjoyable, the characters were better and they all gave good performances. While I didn't love the Spock-like robot in the movie, he definitely had a few laughs. He sort of acts as the comic relief in the movie; in a good way. Another thing that makes this a good movie are the fight scenes. They are very well done; but there is a small problem. For me, the pacing of the scenes was very poor. One point, they had about 3 fight scenes in 5 minutes making me thing, it's that kind of movie. But then they go a full hour without one? I don't know, it just didn't feel right.
The only major problem I really had with the movie were the clichÃ©s. This movie was really enjoyable when it stuck to an original story, but when the clichÃ©s came out, I wanted to fall asleep. There were about 5 clichÃ©d "Oh no I'm gonna get shot but guy I thought didn't like me shoots guy who almost shot me's," and two clichÃ©d slow death scenes along with a NOOOOOOOO!
Despite these problems, this is still an enjoyable movie. I would recommend this due to its good writing and enjoyable cast.
