Reboot of Episode IV

Rating: 7/10 (2 July 2016)

This is a fun movie, but don't expect any new ideas regarding plot and characters. Almost the whole story is a reboot of Episode IV. The director kept the look and the spirit of the original Trilogy, which George Lucas missed to do in the first three Episodes and which I appreciate. Rey is great and sympathetic, but basically she is a female version of young Luke with a little more fire up her ass. The pace of TFA is fast, it's good entertaining cinema. What I had wished for, was a little more space for Chewbacca and Han. Also missed Lando a lot. I found it hard to watch Leia, not trying to think "Botox, Botox, too much Botox...." all the time.
