I suspect initial hype, it's Star Wars after all. I'll avoid it for the first few weeks after release, wait til the hype dies down a bit and watch it after that. | ||

Just go to rotten tomatoes and read the pull quotes from their top critics. I find it gives a really good overview of most movies without details. | ||

You can't talk too much shit about the biggest money spinner cinema history has seen. Episode I was decent if you remove Jarjar and the Anakin actor. And it wasn't rated that highly. I think it was given like 3 stars in general, which is about right. It looks like Episode 7 is going to be better regarded -- both by fans and the reviewers. | ||

With a bit of distance most critics would probably agree. Since its release its rating went down a bit each year. Now its rating is down to 56% @rotten. That is the overall rating it deserves I would say, took some years to get there though. | ||

The people who love the OT: They will be disappointed by the new movie because it won't be the same experience as watching the first star wars movie for the first time. The people who have no real experience (aka children, teens): They will love it, just like children loved the prequels The people who expect it to be bluckboster popcorn cinema: That's exactly what we will get and that's also exactly what the original movies were (and the prequels, just with more flaws). Solid movies, fun but nothing more. These are only the basic forms of viewers/reviewers. In reality it's obviously more like a spectrum. | ||

Do you (aka have seen it) or don't you and just read a few one liners fron guys you don't know like the rest of us? | ||

I didn't actually see it though (which means i cannot value the quality of dialogue, cinematography [even though it looks pretty good when we only look at the trailers] and other stuff you have to watch the movie for) Still, everything i know atm makes me believe what i wrote in the post you quoted. | ||

That's what they get for not liking Star Trek: Into Darkness, a very good movie with nitpicks of no consequence, and forcing quite a few director changes. | ||
