Absolutely amazing

Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2016)

This movie was absolutely amazing. I was hooked from the beginning to the end. the movie was surprisingly fast-paced considering that all the characters in this film are brand new. I really enjoyed all the references to the prequels and the originals but I won't go into what happened because I don't wanna spoil or ruin the moment for anyone. this film had a surprisingly dark tone to the story which really worked. This movie really showed the "war" side to star wars that have never been done before. in previous star wars films a lot of the battle scenes seemed a little cartoonish and didn't come off as like a life or death type scenario where as to this movie all the battle sequences were dark and gritty and even though you know how the overall story is going to end you still have that feeling of is it going to work out or not sort of thing. This has got to be my favorite star wars film since empire. I have seen this movie about three times now and every time I'm finding more and more reasons to like it. Overall I really enjoyed this film, I liked how it connected the prequels to the originals nicely, and it brought back that classic star wars feeling that hasn't been around in a long time. If you are a fan of star wars you will love this movie.
