Star Wars VII Finally watched it. Despite all the criticism, I actually liked the movie at first. There were moments that showcased the episode in a favorable light compared to many other episodes. This includes the design of the spherical robot and the main female character (I liked her creativity and lively personality). The main villain made a strong impression upon his first appearance... And the scene where he tries to fly away in a First Order fighter, only to find it tethered with a rope... It was brilliant. I had a similar problem with jackets in a store, when I tried to approach a mirror to try one on... No, technically, it could have been implemented better. For example, by locking the fighter's engine, closing the hangar door, or disabling the blasters on board the starship. But overall, it seems like a big step forward. In previous Star Wars films, the villains wouldn't even have thought of using a rope. )
I started to suspect something was wrong when Kylo Ren took off his mask... I wanted to shout to the whole theater, "I'm not impressed." And the fact that this villain, as it turned out, used a voice modulator in his mask for no apparent reason... It immediately changed his image, making him seem like a spoiled teenager. When he started crying like a little girl on Han's shoulder, after previously declaring his unwavering loyalty to the First Order in a firm voice... It added a huge negative to him (and to the film). And the scene where he says "anyone can wield a lightsaber" ruined the impression as much as possible after such a good start. And overall, the ending could have been better.
And yet... I consider this a success. Not as big as it could have been, but still. It might not be the best film in the series that I've seen, but I still enjoyed it. I'll even say that the fact that the seventh film in the series didn't completely fall apart, as happens with almost any long-running series, is already optimistic. I think I didn't waste my time. )
7/10
P. S. And what is some orc from "The Lord of the Rings" doing in the film? And why is he the Supreme Leader of the First Order? What did I miss? ))
