Underrated because of the originals

Rating: 8/10 (25 April 2012)

Not being that big of a fan of the star wars saga, I have to admit I was overalls impressed with this film! The special effects where great and the story wasn't half bad! Only bad thing is the cheesy acting and acting, which isn't as bad as people make it to be. I would give it 7, but the extra point is just for the light saver duel at the end, awesome! :) also the robots are equally as impressive, C3PO and r2 are as good as ever, with the funny quotes and interaction between the 2. I think this film is underrated in the sense that it doesn't meet up to the reputation of the originals, but if we leave them out of the picture and think of this film as a stand alone movie, I'm sure that you will find it is a lot better than you expected. Overall I would recommend this film to anyone who isn't a hardcore fan, because if you are you will be bit*n for ages.
