Better Than Force Awakens

Rating: 9/10 (19 December 2016)

They finally got a Star Wars prequel correct. This movie is so fun and entertaining. I am so thankful for this movie and think that it thrives in almost every way possible. I'll break the movie down into pros and cons and then go into detail.
Pros: fantastic droid, cool characters, all of Darth Vaders scenes, the ending, beautiful planets and cinematography, fun cameos, ties in so perfectly, CGI was amazing
Cons: use of CGI characters could have been used lot less, music not done by John WIlliams
Although I didn't agree with the use CGI characters, they were used well except for that last part of the movie which I think it would have been better if we hadn't seen that persons face but its whatever. The music was good but of course I am sad about not hearing John Williams but it makes sense that they didn't use original Star Wars music because it is a whole new take and kinda separate story line. That is really all of my complaints and they are so minor. My favorite part of the whole experience was how gorgeous it was. Each and every planet was amazingly designed and just fit the whole Star Wars vibe perfectly. I am really happy to see a different take on colors. We are use to seeing such dark colors in Star Wars but in this movie there is so much green and blue. It also has incredible visuals that I hope they continue to use throughout all the movies. Also the reason I think it is better than Force Awakens is because it is just so much more original. The movie is brilliant and ties in so well with the original trilogy. If you are a Star Wars fan you will completely be satisfied with Gareth Edwards work and will love it.
