Enjoyed the movie and had a great time

Rating: 9/10 (18 December 2017)

I remember going to see Empire Strikes Back in theaters when I was a kid and how big everything seemed. I was only about 7 so some of the details of the plot and the story were lost on me, but I still enjoyed the heck out of it. I also remember going to see Phantom Menace when I was an adult, but I think the big thing I managed to do was avoid almost all the marketing for the movie, so I actually knew very little about it going in and I enjoyed it. No, it wasn't a great movie, but it more than lived up to my expectations, which were pretty mediocre to begin with.
I guess that's the big thing, I don't know what people are expecting going into these movies. They're not going to have some fantastic life lessons and you're not going to be able to harness the force afterwards. Instead you get to spend a few hours in a galaxy far, far away.
I enjoyed the movie and my family and I had a great time. I guess my biggest advice with this and any movie, is don't go in expecting the movie to change your life or anything, just go in to have some fun.
