Do not believe user ratings!

Rating: 8/10 (16 December 2017)

I have never written a review before so felt inclinded to do so after reading all these negative reviews and shed some light on my opinion and not what's wrong with the movie but more so the audience. Warning I may have spoilers but I'll try to keep the movie a mystery as much as possible. The movie it's self was a fine piece of work and felt like Star Wars but of course I did have a few issues but I'll touch on that later. First I wanted to say I am sick of people being disappointed and giving this movie bad reviews simple because they did not get what they wanted (which in my opinion still wouldn't have been enough if they did.). People seemed to be left in confusion. Which is also a feeling the directors may have intended. Sometimes you leave a movie theater feeling different emotions.. happy , sad etc and confused is one of them. Let me give some examples, the entire mystery of Snoke and how people must know this mans origins story in the first 5 seconds of meeting him. The Audience is so impatient they must know everything about a character the moment they meet them. Which would ruin a movie cause it'd be 4 hours long going into background story's. Can't forget this is a movie and not everything will have been answered or it just becomes ridiculous. Also this is a Saga and more answers may be coming our way. I looked ahead at episode 9 and Snoke is still in the cast which means we may be getting more answers as to who he is and why Kylo went to him. Let's think back to previous episodes. Say the Emperor for example no one knew his origin story or how Darth Vader and the Emperor came to be till Lucus made those CGI awfulness in the early 2000's (episodes 1,2,3). Were people up in arms about not knowing enough about the Emeror? Maybe... but they didn't have social media back in the 70s so clowns weren't freaking out, who is this? Why that and why this? Just wait watch and find out. And yes unfortunately we do not really figure out who Rey's parents are yet but that still may be coming. Rey is told from a one sided point of view who they may be. Which means they could be anyone.. Now say they did tell us Rey's parents, people would have been freaking out saying OMG this was just like the empire strikes back luke finds out Darth his is papa. So really could the directors give people what they want. I don't think so, people will never be satisfied. Also let's give these directors and writers a break about making it similar to episodes 4, 5, 6. Im sure they are huge Star Wars fans or they wouldn't be involved and I imagine they feel some what influence by the movies they may have grown up with. So call me crazy but I can't blame them for following a kind of guide line and making it similar. I'm just saying when they made another star destroyer in the force awakens people were pissed but what other kind of super weapon would you create in a lightspeed traveling univierse? Some toxic gas we'll shoot at your planet or we will unleash our super weapon which does what? They want to create a weapon of urgency, a massive laser that will blow you up in a blink of an eye can't really top that...
Luke was the best in the movie. Some people do not like how his character changed but I think you'd would be a little bitter too if your nephew went evil and you lost a generation of jedis to train. Was Yoda super pumped to see Luke in the empire strikes back? No he told him he was reckless and to old to be trained... not to mention he trolled Luke pretending to be a crazy old fool.
A few issues I did have with the movie was a bit too much comical relief. I get they are trying to appeal to crowds but do not take the seriousness out of a scene. It's okay a few times but this one had a few too many. This movie literally picks up right when the last one ends so whole the story line isn't the best but it is bridging the gap between episodes. Maybe we do not get all the answers we wanted but we do get some. One example we find out why Kylo betrays his Jedi Master. I guess my overall point in this terrible written, awful spelling/grammar (not spell checking sh*t) review is... just give the movie or saga a chance to play out before giving it the 1 ratings cause you may end up regretting any negative comments posted. Also if they made the movie a tad shorter and opened with a better scene that kept me more captivated I would have given this a 10/10. So lastly before freaking out and posting negative reviews remember if you are a true Star Wars fan you'll know what it was like to watch the originals and have questions.
Also why people are so upset Disney owns Star Wars is beyond me. If anything people should be relieved. Disney owns and makes so many movies but they do not necessarily say Disney on them. Disney is a franchise that will live on forever which is good if we want Star Wars to live on forever. Personally I'm glad, cause if Lucus continued making Star Wars we could have had some more CGI busts like we did for episode 1,2,3. Lucus just did too much to it and ruined an iconic figure Darth Vader by showing him as this little pod racing scared boy. If they introduced him as a troubled young teen would have been more interesting in my opinion. When the emperor and Anakin met for the first time on the plateform in Episode 1 it was so unsatisfactory. If I had my hand in it would have made Anakin feel the emperors strength and dark side cause if you were a Star Wars fan wasn't like you didn't already know who the guy was by his name. And my point is I think that's due to Lucus making it too directed toward children. Which does worry me about Disney. But Disney bought Star Wars for billions of dollars they are not going to screw this up. Sure maybe down the line they will make a bad Star Wars movie but this is not one them! And the side origins movies coming out like the Han Solo movie could be busts as well but just like any company they are trying to make money and if they happen to make a good movie in the process so be it. But I can't blame a francises for going down this path. The super hero movies have now created a knew path for writers and directories. Instead of having a main storyline you get side story's about how each characters and how they came to be, then a movie with all of them fighting together or against one and another. And that is exactly what Disney is doing with Star Wars, as marvel as done with its comics, seems every couple of months a new comic book hero rises to join the rest of them but not before getting his or her own movie of course. Not saying I want to see Star Wars do the same but it is nice to get to relive the excited feeling of seeing Star Wars be born to a new generation. Anyway hope you found my rant helpful and maybe changed your outlook on matters.
