Better the second time

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2015)

I must admit that I was a bit disappointed when I first went to the cinema but I went again today and liked it more than I thought.
OK so the story isn't exactly original but the special effects are really something and the acting seemed more believable the second time. I thing it is probably because I was so intend on wanting the story to work the first time that I didn't really give it a proper chance. For all those saying, Lucas come back all is forgiven are talking nonsense! I watched a bit of the phantom menace this weekend and it's simply terrible! Truly awful! The effects are like a poor computer game and the characters are soulless and annoying.
While this film is a long long way off the originals, it was always going to be. I enjoyed it, thought it funny in parts and loved the effects, especially on the iMax 3D.
Give it a chance and don't compare it to the originals and I think you will like it more. M
Solid 8/10 for me. Has the falcon and X-wings in so what's not to like.
