In overall, Star Wars is great

Rating: 7/10 (17 December 2015)

So I just watched Star Wars and I can't stop thinking about it. I was feeling a little bit sad about the movie but while writing this review I'm feeling better and that's actually my idea... :)
I tried to be wiser (and I recommend you to do the same) and left all expectation out of the movie theater. Is difficult and you cannot never truly do it but you can try to empty your head a little bit and be open while watching the movie.
I will not tell what you will feel but I will tell you what I felt for sure. I felt nostalgia from the original trilogy. It's legacy is very much present. The first chapter of this movie is really great, setting up a new and interesting era. Parts of the second chapter felt a little bit lost and the third act was sad and painful to watch in certain times. There was something really difficult to watch and I could also feel the rest of the audience suffering during the third act because of the happening.
I think the work done in the editing room was huge in terms of leaving many shot and aspects of the new story left behind. This is just a guess but is something I felt while watching and also if you think about the fact of leaving out shots that appear in the teasers and trailers. It's almost disturbing thinking about that because maybe the ultimate decisions and the final cut of the movie isn't probably the best version possible of this movie. Obviously this is just my opinion and also based in a supposition. I cannot be explicit about all this because I don't want to spoil you and I want to hear the fans in the future and exchange opinions.
But all that is just secondary. The most important thing is what you feel watching the movie in the overall and its messages and emotions. I think is a great movie technically, is made for the fans and gives you a great feeling.
Ah, before I forget, some characters were great like expected or like I was hoping for but some were almost a great deception (like Captain Phasma). Let's wait for the rest of the trilogy to see more.
May the Force be with you, everyone!
