Good job!

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2016)

There have been very few film screenings I attended where the audience applauded after the final scene. Lone Ranger was one of those and this was another. A film should entertain and move your emotions or give you something to come away with at the end. It should be enjoyable on some level (emotional, intellectually or both) and should make you happy that your time and entertainment dollar was well-spent. This film did those things for me and I will view it again.
There is some chatter around about the use of CGI (computer generated imagery) in movies and the use of real props and devices. This movie uses both to great advantage. There were very few times when I was pulled out of the story because an effect did not work. The blending of CGI and practical reality props and devices was very skillful and almost seamless all of the time. Great job.
I will not go into detail about plot, story or other facets of this movie, other than to say that it is storytelling at its best. It certainly helps to have seen episodes 4,5,and 6 before viewing this one or at least to know the backstory. That backstory is easily learned from reading the plot synopsis of those episodes, if viewing them is not possible. Become familiar with the backstory and then go see this movie...you will not be disappointed.
