Best of the entire franchise!

Rating: 10/10 (15 December 2016)

Best Star Wars movie ever made. Avoid trailers and spoilers and go see it ASAP. Pay for the IMAX 3D and get your money's worth. Amazing film, and best movie I've seen in a very long time.
Solid 10/10. Nothing held back, and nothing spoon fed with kid gloves. Just a raw, excellent story with very carefully and thoroughly crafted production. The acting, camera work, sound, animation, CGI, editing. It's just about flawless. The story is actually a bit puzzling (in a good way) because you're having to guess some things before you see how it plays out. Plenty of twists. You'll have to pay attention, and you will be rewarded. I was not expecting it to be this good at all.
You'll want to be familiar with Episode IV: A New Hope before you see this one. The story is between Episode 3 and 4. Brush up on Episode 4 and you're good to go.
