Well, we just saw The Force Awakens, and it was really good. I think I can say ‘great’, possibly the best of all of them.
I’ve promised no spoilers for this review, so I’ll be focusing on other aspects.
First, the music was seamless and brilliant. It carried the mood superbly, through all of the lonely scenes, the poignant scenes, the battle scenes that Star Wars is known for.
Second, the movie felt really tight. It was paced well, it felt like it moved all the way through, that all the scenes needed to be there.
There were many sendups, but they weren’t jarring, they felt natural to the characters saying them (like the conversations about aging in The Undiscovered Country).
It felt very true to the feel of the Star Wars universe, while at the same time, being a great movie.
Also, I feel like Harrison Ford was much better, like he’s grown into himself.
In short, go see this film.
