Liger Watch. Star Wars 7 Review (Spoiler Free.)
10 years ago
Well I saw Star Wars the Force Awakens today and well I feel I need to make a journal on this. "Oh boy Lig saw an Abram's movie. He's about to explode with vitriol!" Well I'm gonna say that your wrong. I liked this movie. A lot. ^^ Oh this is gonna be hard to do Spoiler Free but I will. Anyway where to start.
Well first off I think we should start with our new characters. They're pretty damn good. There wasn't a single one of them I didn't like in some way. Well Ok Kylo Ren isn't a fav but I see what their doing with him and I like it. Rey turns out pretty interesting and strong and Oh I have theories about her. XD Fin is also pretty awesome and I found it pretty easy to connect with him as a character. BB-8. Ok I thought I'd hate him but he was actually He was used pretty well in this one one and it's pretty neat he's a practical effect and Ok he is a lil cute. Though I"m still not the craziest about the design. I mean I don't get how he's going to get UP a stair case.
As for Returning cast I think it goes quite well. Nobody feels pointless or overstays their welcome. The chemistry with them and the new characters just works pretty damn well and there are those quite moments with them and the new cast alike that lets you get a feel for them as people and gives the movie room to breath.
Now something I've seen many people say is that "Gee this could be a remake for A New Hope almost." and I have to disagree with that vehemently. Yes there are some similarities with the over arching theme. Events do play out differently and it does feel pretty fresh. The use of the Force in this one is pretty awesome I think and I could name a few abilities here and there. I saw a number of familiar species, as well as interesting and memorable new ones too and it just felt like Star Wars. Well written Star Wars at that.
And that leads to why I think this one is good in spite of Abrams. This movie didn't have his usual writing staff involved. It was instead worked on by the man who wrote The Empire Strikes Back. In short we had strong writers and a good cast who knew what they were doing. All that mitigated things and allowed Abrams to make a good film and shine with the stuff he does best. The space stuff we see in this and the vistas and such are quite fantastic and that stuff is Abram's strength. It's just that it's finally been paired with writers and cast who can deliver.
In short this was a pretty darn good film and definitely belongs in the Star Wars Franchise. Ultimately it does feel like it belongs here and I can't wait for the Sequel. ^^

Also I think we should duck and cover for the in coming "sharky missile of Abrams hate" lol
Also the theatre I went to had special 3D glasses and straws was BB8
As for the movie, Rogue One, they are planning/doing. Its more a spy/soldier movie about stealing the first death star plans IIRC. Didnt get the impression it was about any Xwing unit.
