Rating: 10/10 (18 December 2016)

I've watched the other Star Wars films hundreds of times but I'd have to rank this in the top 3 at the least. Now everyone saw there was a space battle in the trailers but it gets much better than the trailers give it service . This has to be the best space battle ever and every actor exceeded expectations. Most of the music for the film wasn't that good it seemed to try and mimic John Williams trumpets and repeated notes and that was kinda stupid. I was hoping they would mix it up a bit.
Whether you are prequel hater or a prequel lover and have noticed that the OT is no where near the god level trendy people would have you believe. This is a Film that we should all be able to agree exceeds the expectations of Disney (all though I'll admit it has more to do with Gareth Edwards directing it) and the actors themselves did far better than many would expect. I will now explain why every real Star Wars fan should rate this a solid 7 to 10 , no exceptions (just look at all the other trashy films rated at least an 8). Felicity Jones especially surprised and actually looks like she trained for this and enough to beat down actual soldiers , honestly. Donnie Yen ( IP man) closely rivals his performances in IP man and other great acting jobs. Diego Luna surprised me as well in the trailers he seemed very dull and a boring character overall but that was definitely not the case they clearly showed him to have great depth even with subtle mannerisms. Even the droid was much better than what the trailers would lead you to believe.
Now some cons: first off Gareth Edwards could have made sure the trailers were better made and marketed toward people , that's one thing good about JJ Abrams he literally got TFA trailers to be as intense and interesting as some of the best films ever. Again the music could have been better but that's hard to judge at first. The Rebel counsel meeting that you see in the trailers and in the movie it wasn't that epic either but it's understandable. The beginning was a bit rough and possibly could be confused with being choppy editing. That's really it and I doubt anyone can come up with any significant negatives in reviewing this movie.
