Horrific! By all means: avoid. During the opening few minutes of this movie, it looked like reviewers were right: this was going to be a fantastic movie! But by the 1/2 way mark, it was apparent all the positive reviews were bogus hype. I spent the last few days trying to figure out why it was so disappointing. I was a huge fan of Star Wars, with a lot of hope that this would be a good movie, and a lot of faith in …

The Force Awakens: A New Hope 2.0 The highly-anticipated follow-up to the Original Trilogy treads through familiar waters, taking the "safe route" approach. Though The Force Awakens has its fair share of phenomenal moments and is definitely an improvement over the Prequel Trilogy, its reliance on using the Original Trilogy (mainly A New Hope) as a template feels nothing more than an imitation of events that occurred …

If you enjoy reading my Spoiler-Free reviews, please follow my blog @ https://www.msbreviews.com Star Wars: Episode VIII - The Last Jedi (2017) was just released, but my time didn't yet allow me to watch it. However, I do have time to review the film that started this new trilogy: The Force Awakens. At the time, it was my most anticipated movie of the year and I placed it second on the list of my favorite films of …

Slumber Earthquake. There really is no point trying to do an in depth review of this, it falls in line with a number of series blockbusters that are guaranteed to garner rabid responses, pro and con. The Force Awakens is a film of many flaws, it has a pungent whiff of safeness about it, the charges of it being a glitzy remake are fair enough, while certain plot strands are frustrating and set to be big talking …

The following is a review that I originally wrote in 2015. Was it perfect? No. Was it basically a shot for shot retread of A New Hope? Yeah. Did it under-develop characters and plots of almost everything interesting to near Boba Fett-ian levels? Sure. Did the entire thing rely on about 47 ridiculously implausible complete coincidences that the story would have fallen apart without? Sounds accurate. But after more …
How this was made: an AI model (deepseek-v4-flash) read 34 of the 318 public posts we collected about this film and wrote the summary, likes and dislikes, citing the posts behind each point ([n] opens the post). A second AI pass checked every statement against the posts it cites; anything it could not match was removed, and code removed any statement with quotation marks, numbers that are not in the posts, or unattributed claims about people.

Critics, per Wikipedia
Star Wars: The Force Awakens grossed $936.7 million in the United States and Canada and $1.132 billion in other countries for a worldwide total of $2.07 billion, making it the highest-grossing film of 2015 and the third highest-grossing film of all time. Box Office Mojo estimates that the film sold close to 110 million tickets in the United States and Canada. The Force Awakens earned 8.6% of the total 2015 releases in the United States and Canada, second only to the 8.8% of the box office earned by Titanic in 1997. It was the 24th film in cinematic history to gross $1 billion worldwide, standing as the fastest film to surpass the mark at the time, doing so in 12 days. It was also the third…

But if they can kinda figure it out and, you know, not succumb to fascism, that would be great." @variety.com $DIS variety.com/2025/film/ne...

neutral · AI labelView post →The fact that two low-budget horror films have beat out an actual Star Wars movie in the box office makes me so damn happy.
positive · AI labelView post →There's a tradition of film directors and studios congratulating each other for beating their box office records. In 1977, when STAR WARS beat Jaws to become the highest-grossing movie ever, Steven Spielberg took out the below ad for George Lucas in @Variety 1/11

positive · AI labelView post →We are saddened to learn that legendary film editor Marcia Lucas has passed away the age of 80. She won an Oscar for her work on ‘Star Wars: Episode IV - A New Hope’ (1977)…
neutral · AI labelView post →RIP Marcia Lucas, whose skill as a film editor and storyteller made a clunky independent film called STAR WARS greater than the sum of its parts. Rightly referred to as "Lucas's secret weapon," Marcia had an uncanny talent to see a film from the perspective of an audience--and won an Oscar for it.

neutral · AI labelView post →Skeleton Crew is a kids show. The original Star Wars was a kids movie. Many of us adults have been entertained by this stuff through the years, but Star Wars works best when it is first and foremost for kids. This is the way.

neutral · AI labelView post →Rewatched the original Star Wars (A New Hope) today. Obviously 'I love Star Wars' is baked in, but if you've not watched it in a while you can easily forget that the back half of that movie is some of the most genuinely thrilling stuff on film, back to back. 1977 must not have known what hit it.
