I really hope Picard is in the next one.
Still prefer the one with the whales.
Exactly what I expected. The Force Awakens for another generation.
Lots of fun! Star Wars has returned as the fun yet tragic saga of the dark and light within and without. New dame is wonderful and lots of old friends come to visit us on the big screen. I might see this again on the big screen. Definitely recommending to all to join in on this new Awakening.

Very Goooooooood!
This is a solid Star Wars Movie. Very well done.
I enjoyed the movie from the beginning till the end and I am planning to see it again with my friends coming from UK to visit me.
Looking for action and fun, this is the one!
Ho Ho Ta, In Chinese means very good to watch it. This movie has a lot of actions, very entertaining.
Deja vu. It is a rewrite of the first two Star Wars movies. Nothing new in the story. Entirely predictable. Average special effects. Huge disappointment. This should have been so much better. It is set up for the next movie which I will wait to see on tv.
Oh my!, how could you criticized people's grammar for just writing a movie review. Did anyone laugh at you when you try to learn and speak Korean when you go to Korea? Be a good Canadian! Learn the word "RESPECT".
WOW! over 153 Million box office proven this is the best movie that you should watch now!
I totally agreed with one of the viewer request the guy not to criticize people's grammar when they write the reviews. Furthermore, I would like to add one more request to that gentleman, please do not say "Jesus Christ" from your mouth as OUR LORD JESUS LOVE EVERY ONE.
I couldn’t take it anymore so I walked out have way through. Other posts are so right on; just a remake of the old star wars movies. Too many dumb one liners that took away from the serious nature of many scenes. I mean how can they expect to hold our attention when everyone is cracking jokes while death is raining down on everyone around them? Want to see a great movie? Go and see Quentin Tarantino’s new movie called the Hateful eight. Haven’t seen it yet but every movie this guy directs is a great movie.
It must be a stubborn old guy yelling at people's grammar for no reason. Canada is a multi-culture country and people from all other countries are force to write and speak English because this is the official language. Vice Versa, if you are moving to live in China or Russia, do you feel good when some one yelling at your simple Chinese or Russian language. Being a good Canadian, we got to learn how to respect people! in fact, this is nothing related to the score of this good movie and please do not use some stupid excuses to give this movie with only ONE STAR!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm giving a one star rating; but not on the movie. Do you know what annoys the hell out of me? People who write a review and DO NOT proof read their comments before submitting them. Jesus Christ! You pick apart this movie (or any other movie for that matter), why not put that effort into your grammar and THEN comment on a movie.
Force Awakens? Really? More like Force Recycled! Plot line, scenes, and equipment are all too familiar. Didn't notice any creativity. Made for merchandising all those toys and games. Beware - there are slow spots. The heroine is no Princess Leia; the character lacks substance; also she is so scrawny that I had difficulty believing that she could beat up several creatures with a quarter-staff. The 3D effects are lack-lustre. Some attempts at humour. The bad guys were not evil enough; they seemed to be apologetic for being sinister. And if you are a first timer into Star Wars, see the original three episodes; the best ones in the series.
I loved the way the old plot was woven into this new movie in a refreshing and familiar way. It was wonderful to see former characters looking their age ( Chewy and CP3O never age!).
Great movie for us old timers who enjoyed the first 3.
Almost as good as the one with the whales.
This is the Star Wars movie I've been waiting for, fun, action packed, It has that a new hope feel to it which I loved and Solo steals the show with his great one liners that was missing from the last three movies. No Jar Jar not funny junk here. Some great 3D shots also that come right off the screen and a lot of questions that needs to be answered in the next two films makes me want to go see it again and wanting more.
The Brockville, Ontario, Canada cinema complex, theatre 3, has a focus problem from halfway up the screen to the top, making the Star Wars viewing experience a consistently blurry one. I went to see it twice, once 3D, once 2D, both times in theatre 3, both times very blurry in backdrop. Problem is screen itself. Something wrong with it. Very disappointed with theatre, cannot properly comment on movie because of it. Very poor behaviour for theatre management to hide this problem and destroy our experience.
It was very slow in many spots. You would think in the future they had a way to keep people looking younger. The hype far exceeded the movie. For those too young to have experienced the previous movies in the franchise, this would have been pretty good. Nothing really new.
See it! See it! See it! See it! If you haven't seen it yet, what are you waiting for?
I'm not baised but most of thr movies was thr took parts of the old star wars movies and put together to make this it was off got boring at times not enough actions . Overhyped period. Grt some originality no need to cut and paste from other movies and please feed these kids look frail as a villain and jedi. Humor good at times but it's star wars should be more serious film.
My husband and just saw this movie tonight. I saw that it rated a 8.7 so it has to be good right? if your old like me and went to the 1977 Star Wars movie over and over again you will see that basically it's the same movie with a splash of empire strikes back and a varied subplot. Harrison ford was excellent and Po and Finn were very likeable. There were a lot of funny jokes. However, these movie does not deserve the hype it is getting. I wish i had waited for the DVD. In a word totally predictable. In fact i pretty much figured out the storyline of the next three movies.
I see a lot of complaints that the plot is derivative. Bah humbug - ggod guys go up against bad guys - what are you expecting? I thought the new leads were charismatic and did a great job. Lots of humor, and Harrison Ford really brought back that old Original Trilogy charm. If I had one negative about the viewing experience, it would not be with the movie itself, but all the freaking commercials before it started. Be prepared to stomach a good 20-plus minutes of ads for cars, cellphones, gum, batteries, and other assorted nonsense.
Meh. Rehash of old pots with different characters.
Movie was a bit slow at times, but it was because they need to give you some back story. Overall great start. Definitely a build up to further movies.
I'm so sorry to say that this movie only rates 2 stars in my opinion, The story line is just not up to the hype and expectations we all had. The actors do the best they can with a very weak story line. The effects are good, but that's about it.
The movie was awesome even if you are not a star wars fan. JJ should have made the movie a bit longer, 2hr and 40 minute would have been my ideal time ;) It sure isn't the best movie of all time, but its not like this is the last star wars, there will be plenty more to come, so we shouldn't rate bad just because the story looks similar to the original movie, think of it like a TV show, more will be made. I am a hardcore movie fan, I love the movie but they could have made a few things way better. If Ledger can perform great as the joker, other actors should do the same for movies like these. Worth seeing the movie of course :)
A good production and a return to the former Stars Wars glory. There are some issues with the story, such as the very dry relationship between Han and Leia (though it is somewhat explained during the movie), the C3PO's red arm (seriously in that age and technological advancement it is hard to believe they couldn't find a replacement of the same colour). Script is quite good, action scenes are well done, lighting proves impressive and cinematography is solid. All in all, this new installment will not disappoint.
Poor acting, weak plot, not worth the money
Very much the same as the original Episode 4... Not enough NEW ideas to make it interesting.
I loved it. The feel and look was different yet similar and the CGI was wicked. Way better flight battle scenes with crisper CGI. It's hard to explain, but there were a couple issues which I wish I could explain why I didn't like a certain part or it shouldn't have been in the movie but not spoil anything. It definitely leaves you wanting to watch more of it and to watch it again and again.
Amazing!
Star Wars, Star snores. Boring movie. Wait until DVD. Save your $.
Same kinda fun as the 1st (Star Wars: A New Hope)
Literally nothing new or original, this is nothing more than re-branding of the same plot points in the original trilogy, only Luke is a girl this time around.
Flawless! A perfect 10!! Extremely happy that it stayed true to the original 3 episodes... May see it again and again...
a remake of the first star wars movie. where were the jedi, where was yoda? The force was still asleep here, boring.
Fun movie with familiar and new faces. Loved the energy of the audience!
Widely anticipated and worth the wait. Serious, action-packed, funny. Has it all. Don't want to give anything away to those who've not seen it yet but now can't wait until the next Sar Wars comes out.
The best action movie in years!
God bless J.J. Abrams.
Was ok, wouldn't watch it a second time
Incredible character development in such a fast-paced film! I love it!
I loved it! But the question is... What happens next??
Great!
